塔里木盆地寒武系广泛发育白云岩,其中中寒武统地层沉积了巨厚的蒸发岩,蒸发岩和白云岩可以构成很好的储盖组合,该领域也是塔里木盆地未来勘探的新领域。萨布哈白云岩和渗透回流白云岩是两种与蒸发岩相关的白云岩,其储层发育的主控因素也都与蒸发岩存在着直接或间接的联系。通过对大量岩芯、薄片、主量元素、稀土元素、碳、氧稳定同位素及锶稳定同位素等地球化学测试和测井资料的细致研究,系统总结了它们的岩石学特征、地球化学特征。萨布哈白云岩储层的岩性以含石膏的泥 粉晶白云岩为特征,孔隙类型主要为膏模孔和溶塌角砾砾间孔,萨布哈白云石化作用及伴生石膏的沉淀作用和准同生期大气淡水溶蚀作用是该类储层的主控因素;渗透回流白云岩储层的岩性以保留原岩颗粒或藻（丘）格架结构的粉晶白云岩为特征,孔隙类型主要为粒间孔、铸模孔、格架孔,渗透回流白云石化作用和大气淡水溶蚀作用是该类储层的主控因素。两者主要发育于塔里木盆地干旱气候背景下的中-下寒武统地层,其分布规律主要受沉积相控制。     

Dolomite formation within microbial mats in the coastal sabkha of Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates)

Microbial mediation is the only demonstrated mechanism to precipitate dolomite under Earth surface conditions. A link between microbial activity and dolomite formation in the sabkha of Abu Dhabi has, until now, not been evaluated, even though this environment is cited frequently as the type analogue for many ancient evaporitic sequences. Such an evaluation is the purpose of this study, which is based on a geochemical and petrographic investigation of three sites located on the coastal sabkha of Abu Dhabi, along a transect from the intertidal to the supratidal zone. This investigation revealed a close association between microbial mats and dolomite, suggesting that microbes are involved in the mineralization process. Observations using scanning electron microscopy equipped with a cryotransfer system indicate that authigenic dolomite precipitates within the exopolymeric substances constituting the microbial mats. In current models, microbial dolomite precipitation is linked to an active microbial activity that sustains high pH and alkalinity and decreased sulphate concentrations in pore waters. Such models can be applied to the sabkha environment to explain dolomite formation within microbial mats present at the surface of the intertidal zone. By contrast, these models cannot be applied to the supratidal zone, where abundant dolomite is present within buried mats that no longer show signs of intensive microbial activity. As no abiotic mechanism is known to form dolomite at Earth surface conditions, two different hypotheses can reconcile this result. In a first scenario, all of the dolomite present in the supratidal zone formed in the past, when the mats were active at the surface. In a second scenario, dolomite formation continues within the buried and inactive mats. In order to explain dolomite formation in the absence of active microbial metabolisms, a revised microbial model is proposed in which the mineral‐template properties of exopolymeric substances play a crucial role.     

Microbially mediated dolomite in Cambrian stromatolites from the Tarim Basin,north‐west China: implications for the role of organic substrate on dolomite precipitation

Dolomite [CaMg(CO₃)₂] is abundant in sedimentary rocks throughout the geological record, but it is rarely found in modern sediments. Also, it cannot be precipitated under low‐temperature conditions in the laboratory without microbial mediation and, as a result, its origin remains a long‐standing enigma. This study reports biologically mediated dolomite precipitation in ancient microbial mats and biofilms from the Cambrian Tarim Basin. The ambient temperature at the time of dolomite precipitation was estimated from δ¹⁸O values from early diagenetic dolomite, and the presence of structures associated with extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), is composed of fibres arranged in a reticular pattern, would favour epitaxial crystallization of dolomite on an organic substrate. In addition, poorly crystallized dolomite formed nanocrystal aggregates that strongly resemble the morphology and size distribution observed in microbial culture experiments. These lines of evidence confirm that microbial structures can be preserved in ancient dolomite and validate their use as biosignatures.

塔里木盆地和田1井中寒武统膏岩层段发现原生白云石

岩石学与地球化学研究表明,塔里木盆地和田1井中寒武统膏岩层中白云石为原生白云石。岩石学特征上,白云石晶体微小,属隐晶—微晶(5μm),呈他形—次圆形,并且不含灰质前驱物。白云石与自生石膏有密切联系,根据其与石膏的关系及岩石学特征,可以将其分为两类:A类原生白云石,包裹在石膏内,晶体较大,一般大于3μm;B类原生白云石,石膏分散在其中,具有极好的长柱状晶形,白云石晶体较小,一般小于3μm。地球化学特征上,两类白云石差别也较明显。A类白云石具有高的n(Mg)/n(Ca)比,平均为0.96,接近化学计量白云石。Na_2O,Sr O,Fe O,Mn O平均含量分别为160μg/g,270μg/g,2250μg/g,120μg/g。δ~(13)C(PDB)与δ~(18)O(SMOW)平均值分别为0.3‰,24.6‰;与A类原生白云石相比,B类原生白云石n(Mg)/n(Ca)比较低,平均值为0.90。具有较高的Na_2O,Fe O,Mn O含量与稍低的Sr O含量,平均值分别为290μg/g,2540μg/g,200μg/g,200μg/g。δ~(13)C(PDB)与δ~(18)O(SMOW)变化不大,δ~(13)C稍低,平均值为-0.3‰,δ~(18)O值较高,平均值为25.2‰。研究表明,文中白云石为原生沉淀,而非交代前驱物灰岩形成,Mg的来源为强烈蒸发形成的高盐度咸水。微生物可能参与了白云石沉淀过程。     

Multiphase dolomitization of deeply buried Cambrian petroleum reservoirs,Tarim Basin,north‐west China

Cambrian dolostone reservoirs in the Tarim Basin, China, have significant potential for future discoveries of petroleum, although exploration and production planning is hampered by limited understanding of the occurrence and distribution of dolomite in such ancient rocks buried to nearly 8 km. The study herein accessed new drill core samples which provide an opportunity to understand the dolomitization process in deep basins and its impact on Cambrian carbonate reservoirs. This study documents the origin of the dolostone reservoirs using a combination of petrology, fluid‐inclusion microthermometry, and stable and radiogenic‐isotopes of outcrop and core samples. An initial microbial dolomitization event occurred in restricted lagoon environments and is characterized by depleted δ¹³C values. Dolomicrite from lagoonal and sabkha facies, some fabric‐retentive dolomite and fabric‐obliterative dolomite in the peloidal shoal and reef facies show the highest δ¹⁸O values. These dolomites represent relatively early reflux dolomitization. The local occurrence of K‐feldspar in dolomicrite indicates that some radiogenic strontium was contributed via terrigenous input. Most fabric‐retentive dolomite may have precipitated from seawater at slightly elevated temperatures, suggested by petrological and isotopic data. Most fabric‐obliterative dolomite, and medium to coarse dolomite cement, formed between 90°C and 130°C from marine evaporitic brine. Saddle dolomite formed by hydrothermal dolomitization at temperatures up to 170°C, and involved the mixing of connate brines with Sr‐ enriched hydrothermal fluids. Intercrystalline, moldic, and breccia porosities are due to the early stages of dolomitization. Macroscopic, intergranular, vuggy, fracture and dissolution porosity are due to burial‐related dissolution and regional hydrothermal events. This work has shown that old (for example, Cambrian or even Precambrian) sucrosic dolomite with associated anhydrite, buried to as much as 8000 m, can still have a high potential for hosting substantial hydrocarbon resources and should be globally targeted for future exploration.     

塔里木盆地寒武系膏盐岩对盐下白云岩储层的影响

塔里木盆地寒武系盐下白云岩作为重要的战略接替区已成为近年来的研究热点。前人主要集中对寒武系白云岩的形成机制和膏盐岩的封盖作用进行了研究,而关于膏盐岩对白云岩储层的影响则少有涉及。本文总结了塔里木盆地寒武系白云岩储层特征,同时探讨了膏盐岩对白云岩储层的影响机制,以期为寒武系盐下白云岩勘探提供指导。塔里木盆地寒武系白云岩主要分为结晶白云岩和微生物白云岩两大类,其中结晶白云岩又可分为泥微晶白云岩、晶粒白云岩和颗粒白云岩,微生物白云岩又可分为凝块石白云岩、叠层石白云岩和泡沫绵石白云岩。受膏盐岩影响的白云岩储层类型可划分为膏溶孔型白云岩储层、晶间孔型白云岩储层和溶蚀孔型白云岩储层。蒸发潮坪环境中,膏盐岩的沉淀有利于克服白云石化的Mg2+的动力学障碍而形成白云岩,同时,微生物作用下SO24-的还原会促进白云石的沉淀。膏盐岩对白云岩储层孔隙的影响主要体现在:含硬石膏结核泥粉晶白云岩易于形成膏溶孔型白云岩储层;膏盐层较高的热导率有利于倒退溶蚀作用的发生;近地表低温条件下硫酸盐的溶解有利于白云石的沉淀;热化学硫酸盐还原作用形成酸性气体有利于深埋溶蚀作用,形成溶蚀孔型白云岩储层。

Distribution Features of the Nanhua‐Sinian Rifts and their Significance to Hydrocarbon Accumulation in the Tarim Basin

On the basis of reprocessing 34 new two-dimensional spliced long sections(20,191 km) in the Tarim Basin, the deep structure features of the Tarim Basin were analyzed through interpreting 30,451 km of two-dimensional seismic data and compiling basic maps. Seismic interpretation and geological analysis conclude that the Nanhua-Sinian strata are a set of rift-depression depositional systems according to their tectonic and depositional features. The rift valley formed in the Nanhua Period, and the transformation became weaker during the late Sinian Period, which eventually turned into depression. From bottom to top, the deposited strata include mafic igneous, tillite, mudstone, and dolomite. Three major depocenters developed inside this basin during the rift stage and are distributed in the eastern Tarim Basin, the Awati area, and the southwestern Tarim Basin. Among them, the rift in the eastern Tarim Basin strikes in the near east-west direction on the plane and coincides with the aeromagnetic anomaly belt. This represents a strong magnetic zone formed by upwelling basic volcanic rock along high, steep normal faults of the Nanhua Period. Controlled by the tectonic background, two types of sedimentary systems were developed in the rift stage and depression stage, showing two types of sequence features in the Sinian depositional stage. The Nanhua System appears as a wedge-shaped formation, with its bottom in unconformable contact with the base. The rifting event has a strong influence on the current tectonic units in the Tarim Basin, and affects the distribution of source rock in the Yuertus Formation and reservoir beds in the Xiaoerbulake Formation in Lower Cambrian, as well as the gypseous cap rock in Middle Cambrian. The distribution features of the rifts have important and realistic significance for determining the direction of oil and gas exploration in the deep strata of the Tarim Basin. Comprehensive analysis suggests that the Tazhong region is the most favorable zone, and the Kalpin-Bachu region is the optimal potential zone for exploring sub-salt oil and gas in deep Cambrian strata.     

塔里木盆地东部南华系-寒武系黑色岩系地球化学特征及形成与分布

近年来,随着油气勘探向深层-超深层领域拓展,古老层位的烃源岩逐渐成为研究热点。塔里木盆地周缘广泛出露的前寒武地层为古老烃源岩及其发育背景研究提供了基础。本文主要介绍了塔东地区南华系、震旦系和寒武系三套烃源岩,通过对库鲁克塔格地区野外露头及岩芯资料的综合分析,采用有机地球化学和无机地球化学手段对烃源岩质量以及烃源岩发育环境进行了评价,认为南华系特瑞艾肯组、震旦系水泉组、寒武系西大山组为主要烃源岩发育层位。特瑞艾肯组烃源岩TOC分布在0.22%~2.80%,平均值1.65%,Ro平均值为1.28%~1.60%;水泉组烃源岩TOC分布在0.22%~0.79%,平均值为0.49%;Ro分布在1.37%~1.93%之间（均值1.72%）;西大山组烃源岩TOC分布在0.15%~1.45%,平均值0.47%。结合地震资料对裂陷结构进行追踪,初步对塔里木盆地东部三套烃源岩的分布范围进行了限定。针对塔里木盆地新元古代盆地演化背景,运用C、O、Sr同位素及微量元素等,对三套黑色岩系形成环境与发育机制进行分析;并对库鲁克塔格地区的冰期事件进行了的限定,认为塔东地区南华-寒武纪至少发生过三期冰期事件,塔东地区冰碛岩地层的划分可以为全球前寒武地层对比提供依据。

Dolomite–silica stromatolites in Miocene lacustrine deposits from the Duero Basin, Spain: the role of organotemplates in the precipitation of dolomite

This research provides an ancient analogue for biologically mediated dolomite precipitation in microbial mats and biofilms, and describes the involvement of highly structured extracellular polymeric secretion (EPS) templates in dolomite nucleation. The structure of EPS is shown to match the hexagonal–trigonal lattice geometry of dolomite, which favoured the epitaxial crystallization of dolomite on the organic substrate. This structure of EPS also matches the arrangement of silica nanospheres in opal, which further accounts for the organically‐templated formation of opal enabling the non‐replacive co‐existence of dolomite and silica. The study is focused on a 50 m thick dolomite succession that is exposed in central areas of the Tertiary Duero Basin and was deposited in a mudflat‐saline lake sedimentary complex during the Middle to Late Miocene (9 to 15 Ma). In the intermediate intervals of the succession, poorly indurated dolomite beds pass gradually into silica beds. On the basis of sedimentological, compositional, geochemical and petrographic data, silica and dolomite beds have been interpreted as mineralized microbial mats. The silica beds formed in marginal areas of the lake in response to intense evaporative concentrations; this resulted in the rapid and early precipitation of opal. Silicification accounted for the exceptional preservation of the microbial mat structure, including biofilms, filamentous and coccoid microbes, and EPS. Extracellular polymeric secretions have a layered structure, each layer being composed of fibres which are arranged in accordance with a reticular pattern, with frequent intersection angles at 120° and 60°. Therefore, the structure of EPS matches the lattice geometry of dolomite and the arrangement of silica nanospheres in opal. Additionally, EPS binds different elements, with preference to Si and Mg. The concurrence of suitable composition and surface lattice morphologies in the EPS favoured the crystallization of dolomite on the substrate. In some cases, dolomite nucleation took place epicellularly on coccoid micro‐organisms, which gave way to spheroid crystals. Organic surfaces enable the inorganic mineral precipitation by lowering the free energy barrier to nucleation. Most of the microbial mats probably developed on the lake floor, under sub‐aqueous conditions, where the decomposition of organic matter took place. The subsequent formation of openly packed dolomite crystals, with inter‐related Si‐enriched fibrils throughout, is evidence for the pre‐existence of fibrillar structures in the mats. Miocene dolomite crystals are poorly ordered and non‐stoichiometric, with a slight Ca‐excess (up to 5%), which is indicative of the low diagenetic potential the microbial dolomite has towards a more ordered and stoichiometric structure; this confirms that microbial imprints can be preserved in the geological record, and validates their use as biosignatures.     

塘古坳陷YL6井寒武系盐下变质岩地层厘定及地质意义

Genesis of Dolomite from Ma55–Ma510 Sub-members of the Ordovician Majiagou Formation in the Jingxi Area in the Ordos Basin

We clarified three stages of dolomitization and secondary changes by studying the petrology and geochemistry characteristics of dolomite from the Ma55–Ma510 sub-members of the Ordovician Majiagou Formation in the Jingxi area in the Ordos Basin: (1) Syngenetic microbial dolomitization is characterized by formation of dolomite with a mainly micrite structure and horse tooth-shape dolomite cements. (2) Seepage reflux dolomitization during the penecontemporaneous period superposed adjustment functions such as recrystallization and stabilization in the middle-deep burial stage, forming dolomites mainly consisting of micro crystal and powder crystal structure. (3) Powder dolomite, fine dolomite, and medium-coarse crystalline dolomite formed in pores and fractures in the middle-deep burial stage. The secondary concussive transgression-regression under a regressive background is an important condition for the occurrence of many stages of dolomitization in the study area. The basin was an occlusive epicontinental sea environment in the Ma5 member of the Ordovician Majiagou Formation sedimentary period. In the sediments, sulfate content was high, which is conducive to the preservation of microbial activity and microbial dolomitization. Micritic dolomite formed by microbial dolomitization provides good migration pathways for seepage reflux dolomitization. Affected by evaporation seawater with increased Mg/Ca ratio, seepage reflux dolomitization was widely developed and formed large-scale dolomite, and underwater uplifts and slopes are favorable areas for dolomite. In the middle-deep burial stage, dolomitizing fluid in the stratum recrystallized or stabilized the previous dolomite and formed a small amount of euhedral dolomite in the pores and fractures.     

塔里木盆地下寒武统台缘带沉积结构特征及其形成过程

目前对于缺乏宏观造礁生物而仅由微生物参与形成的寒武系台缘带沉积结构的沉积学理论研究仍然比较薄弱。塔里木盆地柯坪地区出露下寒武统台缘带地层,对其进行系统的野外调查、剖面分层精细测量和室内薄片镜下分析,刻画了台缘带的沉积结构特征,建立了台缘带的沉积结构模型,阐述了在微生物参与下台缘带的形成过程。研究结果表明,塔里木盆地下寒武统台缘带发育从较深水区向潮间带过渡的水体向上逐渐变浅的沉积演化序列,具有由泥晶沉积、层纹石、微生物丘、颗粒沉积和叠层石等5种沉积类型从下至上分层叠置的沉积结构特征,其中,泥晶沉积、层纹石、颗粒沉积和叠层石在整个台缘带上呈层状展布,而微生物丘在台缘带上的南北向展布宽度仅10 km左右。据此,将台缘带的形成过程划分为泥晶沉积发育阶段、层纹石发育阶段、微生物丘发育阶段、颗粒沉积发育阶段和叠层石发育阶段。微生物丘的发育在台缘带上形成地层局部加厚且向两侧减薄的特点,导致台缘带从微生物丘发育之前具有的沉积厚度从南向北缓慢减薄的缓坡属性转变为从微生物丘发育开始具有的地层局部加厚形成隆起部位的弱镶边属性。上述认识能为确定塔里木盆地下寒武统碳酸盐台地的结构样式和探索台缘带优质碳酸盐岩油气储层的发育规律提供沉积学依据。     

Nucleation and stabilization of Eocene dolomite in evaporative lacustrine deposits from central Tibetan plateau

In past decades, the formation of dolomite at low temperature has been widely studied in both natural systems and cultured experiments, yet the mechanism(s) involved in the nucleation and precipitation of dolomite remains unresolved. Late Eocene dolomitic deposits from core in the upper Niubao Formation (Lunpola Basin, central Tibetan Plateau, China) are selected as a case study to understand the dolomitization process(es) in the geological record. Dolomite formation in Lunpola Basin can be ascribed to a different mechanism forming the large quantities of replacive dolostones in the geological record; and provides a potential fossil analogue for primary dolomite precipitation at low temperature. This analogue consists of an alternation of laminated dolomitic beds, organic-rich and siliciclastic layers; formed in response to intense evaporation interpreted to take place in a continental shallow lake environment. Mineralogical, textural and stable isotopic evaluations suggest that the dolomite from those dense-clotted laminated beds is a primary precipitate. At the nanoscale, these dolomitic beds are composed of Ca–Mg carbonate globular nanocrystals (diameter 80 to 100 nm) embedded in an organic matrix and attached to clay flakes. Micro-infrared spectroscopy analyses have revealed the presence of aliphatic compounds in the organic matrix. Microscopic and elemental compositional studies suggest that clay surfaces may facilitate the nucleation of dolomite at low temperature in the same way as the organic matrix does. The dolomite laminae show values for δ¹⁸O_VPDB from −3.2 to −1.76‰ and for δ¹³C_VPDB from −2.62 to −3.78‰. Inferred δ¹⁸O_SMOW values of the lake water reveal typical evaporitic hydrological conditions. These findings provide a potential link to primary dolomite formation in ancient and modern sedimentary environments; and shed new light on the palaeoenvironmental conditions in central Tibet during the Eocene.
