渤海湾盆地晚中生代以来伸展模式及动力学机制

通过分析盆地区大陆伸展模型参数、火成岩地球化学特征时空演化、岩石圈分层伸展几何学和运动学、应力场-变形场的匹配和演化,文章对渤海湾盆地晚中生代以来伸展断陷的动力学过程进行了系统讨论。晚中生代,盆地北、西部以变质核杂岩模式伸展,南、东部以宽裂陷模式伸展;在岩石圈伸展过程中,地壳变形方式为简单剪切,岩石圈地幔变形方式为纯剪切;盆地处于洋壳俯冲背景下弧后伸展区,盆地及西、北部隆起区岩石圈地幔为EM1型,而南、东部隆起区受扬子板块俯冲改造成类似EM2型;盆地变形的力源为板块相对运动产生的引张力,以及郯庐断裂的走滑作用。新生代,渤海湾盆地以窄裂陷模式伸展,地壳和岩石圈地幔变形方式均为纯剪,但岩石圈地幔伸展强度大于地壳;盆地处于大陆内裂谷环境,软流圈地幔上涌并改造岩石圈地幔,且盆地裂陷的力源以软流圈地幔上涌产生的引张力为主。     

渤海盆地现今岩石圈热结构及新生代构造-热演化史

依据236口井共2 706组的静温数据以及25口井的系统测温数据,分析计算了渤海盆地地温梯度及大地热流;建立地壳分层结构模型,利用回剥法计算现今地幔热流、深部温度以及岩石圈厚度;在此基础上,利用地球动力学方法恢复本区热流演化史。结果表明：渤海盆地背景地温梯度为322 ℃/km,热流值为648 mW/m2;盆地现今热岩石圈厚度在61~69 km之间,地幔热流占地表热流的比例在60%左右,属于“热幔冷壳”型岩石圈热结构,盆地地壳底部或莫霍面温度变动在548~749 ℃之间;热流演化的特征与盆地的构造演化背景吻合,新生代以来盆地经历了3期岩石圈减薄并加热的过程,在东营组沉积末期热流达到最高(70~83 mW/m2）,这期间盆地内产出多期碱性玄武岩,表明盆地经历了波及地幔的裂谷过程,随后进入热沉降期,热流逐渐降低,盆地向坳陷型转变。     

我国中西部盆地深层-超深层烃源岩热演化研究

我国中西部盆地深层、超深层油气相态、分布深度和油气贫富差异大,盆地温度场是制约油气成藏及烃源岩成熟演化的关键要素。本文以塔里木盆地和四川盆地寒武系为研究对象,系统解析盆地古、今温度场特征,明确寒武系烃源岩热演化及其差异性,探讨热演化对油气生成及油气相态的控制作用。结果表明,塔里木盆地和四川盆地现今平均热流为(42.5±7.6)和(53.8±7.6) mW/m²,反映了“冷盆”和“温盆”特征。塔里木盆地热流自早寒武世以来呈下降趋势,早二叠世受岩浆活动的影响,出现短暂的峰值。四川盆地寒武纪至早二叠世为稳定低热流,早二叠世末受峨眉山地幔柱热效应的深刻影响,热流快速上升,晚二叠世以来热流下降。由于四川盆地的热状况一直高于塔里木盆地,同时受二叠纪岩浆活动的差异影响,盆地寒武系烃源岩成熟演化、油气生成和相态存在差异。塔里木盆地寒武系烃源岩的热演化具有3种类型：(1)古生代迅速成熟演化定型;(2)早古生代快速演化-后期持续演化型;(3)早古生代和中生代快速演化型。四川盆地寒武系烃源岩的热演化具有3种类型：(1)持续演化型;(2)加里东期热演化停滞-中生代持续演化型;(3)加里东...     

莺-琼盆地海相烃源岩特征及高温高压环境有机质热演化

莺歌海盆地与琼东南盆地存在渐新统海岸平原-半封闭浅海相和中新统浅海相两套海相烃源岩。其中,渐新统烃源岩发育于琼东南盆地早第三纪半地堑,存在海岸平原和半封闭浅海两类烃源岩组合。海岸平原含煤烃源岩有机质丰度高,富含陆源有机质,具有很好的生气潜力;半封闭浅海相烃源岩TOC含量总体低于1.0%,但其规模大且存在TOC1.5%的较高丰度段,故亦具有较大的生气能力。中新统海相烃源岩主要分布于莺歌海盆地裂后热沉降形成的中央坳陷,其有机质丰度横向变化比较大,位于中央坳陷带的烃源岩有机质丰度较高,TOC大多在0.40%～2.97%之间,有机质以气型干酪根为主。盆地的高地温为有机质向天然气转化提供了有利的条件,尤其是热流体活动使浅层有机质超前熟化,但地层超压对有机质热演化也有一定的抑制作用。盆地模拟结果显示,莺-琼盆地主要凹陷烃源岩大量生气时间较晚,与圈闭形成期的时空配置好,有利于成藏。     

南海南、北大陆边缘盆地烃源岩热演化差异及成因分析

对横跨南海南、北共轭大陆边缘的两条骨干剖面所经过的沉积盆地烃源岩热演化进行模拟,分析了南、北陆缘盆地烃源岩热演化差异。结果表明,南海南部陆缘盆地生烃门限整体比北部陆缘盆地的生烃门限浅,南部陆缘盆地生烃门限整体在2 200~2 300 m之间,中新统烃源岩基本已进入生烃门限;北部陆缘盆地生烃门限整体位于2 500~2 600 m之间,渐新统及其以下烃源岩进入生烃门限。南海南、北陆缘盆地生烃门限的规律性与南海现今热流分布南高北低、西高东低的整体趋势相对应,高热流有利于烃源岩的成熟与生烃,因此热流值高的区域对应生烃门限较浅。造成南、北陆缘主力烃源岩的热演化程度差异的主要原因可能是由南海扩张及古南海俯冲引起的地温场变化所引起。     

准噶尔盆地热史恢复及其对早—中二叠世时期盆地构造属性的约束

大地热流是盆地动力学成因及构造演化过程的客观反映,不同时代、不同动力学背景形成的盆地,大地热流差异极大,因此盆地构造—热演化研究不仅能够揭示盆地不同演化阶段的地温场特点,而且能够有效地约束盆地在特定地质演化历史时期的动力学机制和构造属性。本文针对准噶尔盆地深层多期复杂热史的特点,在盆地现今地温场研究的基础上,采用镜质体反射率和裂变径迹等古温标,结合古地温梯度法和古热流法定量恢复了准噶尔盆地二叠纪以来的热历史,进而分析了早—中二叠世期间盆地构造属性。研究表明,准噶尔盆地从早二叠世开始呈现出热流持续降低的热流演化特征,二叠纪期间,盆地热流值很高,多数钻井的古热流在75~85m W/m~2之间,少数钻井揭示的古热流更高,超过了100mW/m~2;中—新生代,热流持续、逐渐降低,直至现今的42.5mW/m~2。早—中二叠世,盆地的最高热流地区在中央坳陷和南部坳陷。以早—中二叠世期间高古热流为切入点,结合区域地质、地球物理和地球化学等资料,论证了准噶尔盆地早—中二叠世期间的裂谷构造属性。这一认识不仅是重新认识准噶尔地区晚古生代碰撞造山和陆内盆山体制转换的基础,而且对于准噶尔盆地深层石炭系、二叠系烃源岩油气进一步勘探具有重要意义。     

青藏高原中-新生代沉积盆地热体制与古地温梯度演化

尽管前人对青藏高原隆升机制、地块拼合和陆内俯冲、中-下地壳流动以及岩浆活动等过程做了大量研究, 但对工区发育众多的中-新生代沉积盆地热体制和古地温梯度演化很少涉及, 而这些对中生代海相烃源岩油气生成过程以及已生成的油气命运具有重要影响.在总结前人有关青藏高原温度场背景和盆地类型演化成果基础之上, 运用流体包裹体均一温度测定数据, 综合建立了高原腹部中生代海相盆地古地温梯度演化曲线, 认为在中生代至古近纪的被动陆缘-弧后盆地-前陆盆地演化过程中, 中生代海相盆地处于相对低的地温梯度条件下(＜3.0 ℃/100 m)有利于成熟油的生成; 在新近纪至第四纪的青藏高原隆升阶段, 这些中生代海相盆地不仅演化成残留盆地, 而且还伴随着新的热事件使得盆地地温梯度不均匀急剧上升(~6.5 ℃/100 m), 同时会导致大部分中生代海相烃源岩生成的油再度裂解成气和存在二次生烃(气)的可能性.因此, 古地温梯度演化决定了在"冷盆"区域可能还存在找油潜力, 但在大部分的"热盆"区域只能以找气为主.      

南华北盆地群岩石圈热-流变结构

结合南华北盆地群现代地温场资料和深部地震测深资料及岩石热物性参数,对南华北盆地群的热结构进行了研究。结果表明：南华北盆地群平均热流值为53.7 mW/m2,地幔热流为30～34 mW/m2,莫霍面温度为500～550℃,热岩石圈厚度为110～130 km。在此基础上,进行了岩石圈流变模拟,探讨了研究区的岩石圈流变特征及其地球动力学意义。南华北盆地群岩石圈强度为（7.6~23.3）×1012 N/m,具有显著的 “三明治”结构。上地壳表现为脆性变形,中、下地壳为韧性的流动变形。这一分层变形机制决定了南华北盆地群的成盆演化动力学过程。     

塔里木盆地岩石圈热-流变学结构和新生代热体制

塔里木盆地是我国特大型沉积盆地,也是“西气东输”工程的重要战略基地。利用盆地区大量的地温及岩石热物性参数并结合地热学知识分析了塔里木盆地的现代地温场、热演化和岩石圈热-流变学结构,并进一步讨论了地热场和岩石圈性质对成盆、成烃和成藏的意义。研究结果表明塔里木盆地现今平均大地热流为45mW/m2,平均地温梯度为18~20℃/km;整体上具有低温冷盆的特征。地温场的展布具有明显的横向差异,不同构造单元的地温场特征相差较大:坳陷部位具有较低的地温,隆起区具有较高的地热特征。热演化模拟表明盆地自成盆以来经历了从震旦纪—奥陶纪高热流(“热”盆)、志留纪—晚古生代热衰减(“热”盆向“冷”盆过渡)、中生代稳定的热演化(低热流“冷”盆阶段)、新生代岩石圈挠曲热演化等阶段。“热”岩石圈厚度为205~230km,有效弹性厚度(Te)达66±7km,脆-韧性转换深度为25~28km,岩石圈总强度为1.6×1013~7.8×1013N/m。盆地区的岩石圈表现为地温低、强度高的刚性块体,具有整体变形特征。受印度-欧亚大陆碰撞的远程效应影响,塔里木盆地作为刚性块体进行应力传递,盆地周边产生强烈变形,表现山脉的急剧隆升和盆地边缘的快速挠曲沉降。这一动力学过程造成地层内部流体趋于流向山前隆起带,并对油气成藏和分布具有重要的控制作用。     

华北克拉通南部地区现今地温场特征及其地质意义

在系统分析华北克拉通南部地区现今地温场数据的基础上,对该区现今地温场特征进行了系统的研究,对其控制因素及其油气地质意义进行了探讨。该区现今地温梯度平均为2.69℃/100 m,大地热流平均为5654 mW/m2,地温场特征表现为北高南低,东高西低,与中国东部热盆、西部冷盆相比,华北克拉通南部地区属于一种过渡类型。现今地温场主要受岩石圈厚度、构造特征和地下水活动的影响。华北克拉通南部不同地区热演化过程及其结果不同,开封坳陷、周口坳陷中部局部凹陷带现今地温场代表了该区最高的热演化状态并影响着古生界烃源岩成烃。其他地区现今地温则小于古地温,古地温决定了这些区域古生界烃源岩成烃。     

从地壳上地幔构造看大陆岩石圈伸展与裂解

本篇讨论大陆岩石圈拆沉、伸展与裂解作用过程。由于大陆岩石圈厚度大而且很不均匀,产生裂谷的机制比较复杂。大陆碰撞远程效应的触发,岩石圈拆沉,以及板块运动的不规则性和地球应力场方向转折,都可能产生岩石圈断裂和大陆裂谷。岩石圈拆沉为在重力作用下"去陆根"的作用过程,演化过程可分为大陆根拆离、地壳伸展和岩石圈地幔整体破裂三个阶段。大陆碰撞带、俯冲的大陆和大洋板块、克拉通区域岩石圈,都可能产生岩石圈拆沉。大陆岩石圈调查表明,拉张区可见地壳伸展、岩石圈拆离、软流圈上拱和热沉降;它们是大陆岩石圈伸展与裂解早期的主要表现。从初始拉张的盆岭省到成熟的张裂省,拆离后地壳伸展成复式地堑,下地壳幔源玄武岩浆侵位,断裂带贯通并切穿整个岩石圈,表明地壳伸展进入成熟阶段。中国东北松辽盆地和西欧北海盆地曾处于成熟的张裂省。岩石圈破裂为岩浆侵位提供了阻力很小的通道网。岩浆侵位作用伴随岩石圈破裂和热流体上涌,成熟的张裂省可发展成大陆裂谷。多数的大陆裂谷带并没有发展成威尔逊裂谷带和洋中脊,普通的大陆裂谷要演化为威尔逊裂谷带,必须有来自软流圈的长期和持续的热流和玄武质岩浆的供应。威尔逊裂谷带岩石圈地幔和软流圈为地震低速带,其根源可能与来自地幔底部的地幔热羽流有关。     

Evolution and deep structure of the Zeya-Bureya and Songliao sedimentary basins (East Asia)

The evolution and deep structure of the Songliao and Zeya-Bureya basins can be divided into the rift, platform (subsidence), and neotectonic phases. The rift phase (Middle Jurassic-Early Cretaceous) climaxed at the formation of a basin-wide near N-S-oriented rift system, which was followed (Late Cretaceous) by the deposition of the deep-water organic-rich lacustrine source facies with the maximum thickness identified in the Songliao basin (up to 1100 m). The neotectonic phase was marked by the pronounced differences in the basin’s development caused by the formation of a series of E-W-trending transverse structures, which eventually separated the basins, changed the drainage pattern, and blocked the rivers draining southwards from the Zeya-Bureya to the Songliao basin. The differences in the deep structure of the basins are also strongly pronounced. High heat flow values of more than 70 mW/m² are typical of the Songliao basin, and its mantle heat flow component is higher than the crustal one, as compared to the Zeya-Bureya basin (below 50 mW/m²). The crustal thickness of the Zeya-Bureya basin is higher than that of the Songliao basin (38–42 km and 29–34 km) with a lithospheric thickness of 110–140 km and 50–75 km, respectively. The only exception is the southern Zeya-Bureya basin, which has an electrical structure similar to that of the Songliao basin. These differences have important implications for the evaluation of the hydrocarbon potential of the rift basins. It was suggested that the evaluation of the hydrocarbon potential of the sedimentary basins or parts of these basins should account for two factors: (1) the influence of the lithospheric motions and the related collisional processes and (2) the anomalies in the deep lithospheric structures (the high heat flow and the reduced crustal and lithospheric thickness). The results of this study indicate that the southern part of the Zeya-Bureya basin (in particular, the Lermontovka, Dmitrievka, Mikhailovka, Ekaterinoslavka, and Arkhara troughs) is interpreted to have a fairly high hydrocarbon potential.     

Anomalous crustal and lithospheric mantle structure of southern part of the Vindhyan Basin and its geodynamic implications

Tectonically active Vindhyan intracratonic basin situated in central India, forms one of the largest Proterozoic sedimentary basins of the world. Possibility of hydrocarbon occurrences in thick sediments of the southern part of this basin, has led to surge in geological and geophysical investigations by various agencies. An attempt to synthesize such multiparametric data in an integrated manner, has provided a new understanding to the prevailing crustal configuration, thermal regime and nature of its geodynamic evolution. Apparently, this region has been subjected to sustained uplift, erosion and magmatism followed by crustal extension, rifting and subsidence due to episodic thermal interaction of the crust with the hot underlying mantle. Almost 5–6 km thick sedimentation took place in the deep faulted Jabera Basin, either directly over the Bijawar/Mahakoshal group of mafic rocks or high velocity-high density exhumed middle part of the crust. Detailed gravity observations indicate further extension of the basin probably beyond NSL rift in the south. A high heat flow of about 78 mW/m² has also been estimated for this basin, which is characterized by extremely high Moho temperatures (exceeding 1000 °C) and mantle heat flow (56 mW/m²) besides a very thin lithospheric lid of only about 50 km. Many areas of this terrain are thickly underplated by infused magmas and from some segments, granitic–gneissic upper crust has either been completely eroded or now only a thin veneer of such rocks exists due to sustained exhumation of deep seated rocks. A 5–8 km thick retrogressed metasomatized zone, with significantly reduced velocities, has also been identified around mid to lower crustal transition.     

Early Cretaceous rift-related volcanism in the Songliao Basin,NE China – A geochemical study

Following the amalgamation of the Siberian and North China Cratons, NE China, as part of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB), underwent Late Mesozoic lithospheric extension that was associated with volcanic activity. The Songliao Basin is the most important rift structure formed during these processes and contains voluminous volcanic rocks interlayered with sedimentary infill. Mafic-to-intermediate lavas are associated with felsic ones. This study focusses on the geochemical compositions of the less-widespread Early Cretaceous mafic-to-intermediate lavas in the Songliao Basin and compares them with the more abundant felsic rocks. Two mafic-to-intermediate magma series, one with alkaline and the other with sub-alkaline affinity, were identified. High MgO and Cr contents, low Th/Nb and La/Nb ratios, and variable but depleted Nd isotope compositions indicate that both magma suites were most likely formed by the melting of enriched upper mantle sources. Sub-alkaline mafic-to-intermediate rocks and I-type rhyolites define a co-genetic magma series. This rock suite was produced by the melting of subduction-modified lithospheric mantle and subsequent magma evolution as well as crustal melting during lithospheric extension. Alkaline mafic-to-intermediate rocks and A-type rhyolites form another co-genetic magma suite that was produced under within-plate conditions from an OIB-type mantle source, supposed to be the heterogeneous shallow asthenosphere and/or the lower lithosphere. Decompression partial melting of this mantle source requires a relatively thin lithosphere. The development of alkaline mafic rocks and A-type rhyolites as typical bimodal volcanic assemblage reflects that lithospheric thinning below the Songliao Basin reached its maximum, whereas basin rifting terminated afterwards.     

Rheological controls on extensional styles and the structural evolution of the Northern Carnarvon Basin,North West Shelf,Australia

The extensional architecture of the Northern Carnarvon Basin can be explained in terms of changes in lithospheric rheology during multiphase extension and lower crustal flow. Low‐angle detachments, while playing a minor role, are not considered to have been the primary mechanism for extension as suggested in previous models. Early extension (Cambrian‐Ordovician) in the Northern Carnarvon Basin is characterised by low‐angle detachment structures of limited regional extent. These structures have a spatial association with a Proterozoic mobile belt on the margin of the Pilbara Craton. Thermo‐mechanical conditions in the mobile belt may have predisposed the highly deformed crust to thin‐skinned extension and detachment development. Permo‐Carboniferous extension generated an extensive wide rift basin, suggesting ductile rheologies associated with intermediate lithospheric temperatures and crustal thickness. Thick Upper Permian to Upper Triassic post‐rift sequences and marked thinning of the lower crust occurred in association with only a small amount of extension in the upper crust. This observation can be reconciled by considering outward lower crustal flow, from beneath the basin towards the basin margin, following extension. Strong mid‐crustal reflectors, which occur over large areas of the Northern Carnarvon Basin, probably represent a boundary between flow and non‐flow regimes rather than detachment fault surfaces as in previous models. Crustal thinning and thermal decay following Permo‐Carboniferous extension contributed to the increased strength and brittle behaviour of the lithosphere. Consequently, Late Triassic to Early Cretaceous extension resulted in the development of far more localised narrow rift systems on the margins of the preceding wide rift basin. Diapiric intrusions are associated with the narrow rift basin development, resulting from either remobilisation of ductile lower crustal rock or the initial formation of sea‐floor spreading centres.     

大型油气系统形成的盆地动力学背景

找寻大油气田的急迫任务带动了当今新一轮战略性、区域性的基础地质和石油地质研究.在盆地中识别富生烃凹陷及其所控制的油气系统具有关键意义.没有富生烃凹陷就没有大油气田赖以形成的首要基础.富生烃凹陷及大型油气系统的形成又有其特有的盆地动力学背景, 认识后者对前者的控制关系可提供战略性预测.渤海湾盆地作为中国东部陆上及海域伸展类盆地最重要也最典型的代表, 其数十年勘探和研究历程揭示了富生烃凹陷、大型油气系统和盆地动力学过程的内在联系.岩石圈伸展和裂陷的背景下, 盆地内隆坳分异的构造格架、快速沉降、高地温和异常高压系统提供了富生烃凹陷和大型油气系统形成的构造背景, 与古近系中晚期有利的古气候、古环境条件匹配形成了最有利生烃的超富养湖盆类型.根据多个富生烃凹陷的典型研究提出了大型油气系统形成的模式, 进一步分析了富生烃凹陷形成背景的多样性.值得指出的是, 目前所知西北地区大型叠合盆地中最重要的富生油凹陷, 如准噶尔盆地的二叠纪中央凹陷、塔里木盆地的满加尔凹陷可能都形成于伸展和裂陷背景下, 中新生代则以挤压、挠曲占优势.提出用当代盆地动力学和油气系统的思路与方法重新认识含油气盆地及其油气系统演化的动力过程, 进行新一轮基础性、区域性研究, 为发现新领域、找寻大油气田提供地质理论基础.

The tectono-sedimentary evolution of a hyper-extended rift basin: the example of the Arzacq–Mauléon rift system (Western Pyrenees,SW France)

In this paper, we present a sedimentary and structural analysis that together with maps, sections and new Ar/Ar data enable to describe the tectono-sedimentary evolution of the Mauléon hyper-extended rift basin exposed in the W-Pyrenees. Hyper-extension processes that ultimately resulted in exhuming mantle rocks are the result of the subsequent development of two diachronous detachment systems related to two evolutional stages of rifting. An initial Late Aptian Early Albian crustal thinning phase is first recorded by the development of a crustal necking zone controlled by the north-vergent Southern Mauléon Detachment system. During a subsequent exhumation phase, active faulting migrates to the north with the emplacement of the Northern Mauléon detachment system that exhumed north section thinned continental crust and mantle rocks. This diachronous crustal thinning and exhumation processes are also recorded by the diachronous deposition of syn-tectonic sedimentary tracts above the two supra-detachment sub-basins. Syn-tectonic sedimentary tracts record the progressive exhumation of footwall rocks along detachment systems. Tectonic migration from the southern to the northern Mauléon Detachment system is recorded by the coeval deposition of “sag” deposits above the necking zone basin and of syn-tectonic tracts above exhumed rocks north section. Located on a hanging-wall situation related to the Mauléon hyper-extension structures, the Arzacq Basin also records a major crustal thinning phase as shown by its subsidence evolution so as by deep seismic images. The absence of major top-basement structures and its overall sag morphology suggest that crustal thinning processes occurred by decoupled extension of lower crustal levels contrasting with the Southern Mauléon Detachment system. Reconciling observations from the Mauléon and Arzacq Basins, we finally propose in this paper that they were the result of one and the same asymmetric crustal thinning and exhumation processes, where extension is accommodated into the upper crust in the Mauléon Basin (lower plate basin) and relayed in ductile lower crust below the Arzacq Basin (upper plate basin).
