Study of the organic matter in the rocks of the crystalline basement and weathering mantle of Tatarstan

This paper is dedicated to study of the rocks of crystalline basement and weathering mantle taken from several parametric boreholes at the territory of Tatarstan Republic. Optical-microscopy in combination with methods of organic geochemistry, including isotope analysis, revealed a migration nature of the organic matter of the studied rocks from oil-source beds of the Devonian domanikoid-facies deposits.     

Temperature distribution and anomalies in the crystalline basement of the tataria arch

We made temperature measurements in the crystalline basement of the superdeep and deep boreholes located in the central-eastern part of the East European platform. The basement in the studied region is characterized by an average heat flow of 60 mW m⁻². Our experiments have revealed temperature anomalies in the crystalline basement that we interpreted as unconsolidated zones. The studies indicate that fluid injection anomalies, sheet flow and overflow zones and gas anomalies can be detected by temperature measurements.     

Nonconventional hydrocarbon targets in the crystalline basement, and the problem of the recent replenishment of hydrocarbon reserves

Analysis of the distribution of oil pools in sedimentary cover has shown that known platform hydrocarbon fields are closely associated with faults in the crystalline basement and the sedimentary cover itself. Oil pools in the lower productive beds of the sedimentary cover are linked to faulted zones in the crystalline basement. A genetic relationship between oil fields and tectonic dislocations indicates a dominant role for vertical migration in the accumulation of commercial hydrocarbons in the Paleozoic. The conducted geochemical, palynological, geophysical and geological studies have shown that oil and gas pools in the upper sedimentary cover have been formed due to the vertical migration of hydrocarbons, which is also confirmed by the vertical alignment of the oil pools.     

The Early Baikalian crystalline complex in the basement of the Dzabkhan microcontinent of the Early Caledonian orogenic area, Central Asia

Fragments of continental blocks or microcontinents are represented in the Early Caledonian orogenic area of Central Asia (or Early Caledonian superterrane); the largest of these are the Dzabkhan and Tuva-Mongolian microcontinents, with Early and Late Precambrian crystalline basements, respectively. In the linkage zone of these microcontinents, crystalline rocks of the Tarbagatai and Songino blocks that are considered as units of the Early Precambrian ensialic basement of the superterrane are also known. They are composed of strongly metamorphosed rocks formed during the Early Baikalian orogeny about 790 to 820 Ma. U-Pb zircon dating and Nd isotope studies revealed, within the northwestern Dzabkhan microcontinent, the Dzabkhan-Mandal zone of crystalline rocks associated with the Riphean crust-forming process. The age of the gneiss substrate of this zone is estimated as 1.3 to 0.86 Ga. An early episode of metamorphism is dated at about 856 ± 2 Ma. The data available so far indicate a heterogeneous structure of the Dzabkhan microcontinent basement represented by Early Precambrian and Early and Late Baikalian crystalline formations.     

Structural Characteristics of the Basement beneath Qiangtang Basin in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau: Results of Interaction Interpretation from Seismic Reflection/Refraction Data

The studies on configuration, character/property of the basement of Qiangtang basin is helpful for evaluating petroleum and nature gas resources as well as understanding the basin evolvement. Recently a moderate to high-grade metamorphic gneiss rock was found underlying beneath very low metamorphic Ordovician strata in Mayer Kangri to the north of the central uplift. That fact actually proved existence of the crystalline basement just the distribution and structures of pre-Paleozoic crystalline basement still remain puzzle. In recent years a number of active sources deep seismic profiling, to aim at lithospheric structure of northern Tibet and petroleum resources of the Qiangtang basin, had been conducted that make it possible to image the structure of the basement of the Qiangtang. Near vertical reflection profiles, included those acquired previously and those during 2004 to 2008, have been utilized in this study. By through the interaction process and interpretation between the reflection profiles and the wide-angle profile, a model with the detailed structure and velocity distribution from surface to the depth of 20 km of Qiangtang basin has been imaged.Based on the results and discussions of this study, the preliminary conclusions are as follows: (1) The velocity structure section (~20 km) that is interactively constrained by the refraction and reflection seismic data reveals that the sedimentary stratum gently lie until 10 km in the south Qiangtang basin. (2) The basement consists of fold basement (the upper) and crystalline basement (the lower).The fold basement buried at the average depth of 6 km with a velocity of 5.2–5.8 km/s. The shallowest appear at range of the central uplift. The crystalline basement is underlying beneath the fold basement at the average depth of 10 km with a velocity of 5.9–6.0 km/s except near Bangong-Nujiang suture. (3) The high-velocity body at the depth range of 3–6 km of the central uplift is considered as a fragment of the crystalline basement that perhaps was raised by Thermal or deformation. (4) The lower-consolidated fold basement show more affinity of Yangtze block but the crystalline basement seems more approximate to Lhasa terrene in geophysical nature. We have attempted to improve the resolution and reliability by interaction of the active seismic data and prove it effective to image complex basement structure. It will be a potential to process the piggy-back acquisition data and has wide prospects.     

Conjugate zone between the northern termination of the Baikal-Patom Foldbelt and the Siberian Craton: Structure of the crystalline basement

New data on the deep structure of the crystalline basement in the conjugate zone between the northern termination of the Baikal-Patom Foldbelt and the Siberian Craton are discussed. Digital processing of the data of a high-precision airborne geophysical (magnetic, gravity, radiometric) surveys on a scale of 1: 50000 allows us to construct 3D models of the petrophysical properties of the rocks and to ascertain the main features of the deep structure of the pre-Riphean crystalline basement overlapped by a thick sedimentary cover. The Archean and Paleoproterozoic metamorphic and plutonic petrophysical complexes are identified, and their vertical and horizontal relationships are outlined. Horizontal tectonic movements and overthrusting for many tens of kilometers are interpreted in the internal structure of the crystalline basement. The tectonic overriding of the marginal part of the Siberian Craton by nappes of the Baikal-Patom Foldbelt is proved. In particular, the completely detached, allochthonous position of the Kotuikan Zone along which the Magan and Daldyn terranes cojugate with the Aldan Province in the south of the craton is established. This compels us to consider a re-evaluation of the currently accepted concept concerning the structure and formation history of the basement of the ancient Siberian Craton.     

Spectral analysis and Euler deconvolution technique of gravity data to decipher the basement depth in the Dehradun-Badrinath area

The stratigraphic and tectonic setting in the northwest part of Himalayan belt is complex and thrusted due to the collision of Indian plate and the Eurasian plate. During the past, the Himalaya is divided into four parts; these are Outer Himalaya, Lesser Himalaya, Greater or Higher Himalaya and Tethys Himalaya. The appearance of basement rocks played a significant role in the Himalayan periphery for stratigraphic, structural and tectonic movement. The deformation pattern of the crustal rocks causing the rise of basement rocks which constitutes an integral part of crustal configuration during the evolutionary stages of the Himalaya. In this study, an attempt has been made to estimate the basement depth configuration using spectral analysis and Euler deconvolution technique of gravity data in the northwest Himalaya region. The elevation increases continuously from 500 m to 5100 m in SW to NE direction, however, Bouguer gravity anomaly decreases continuously from ?130 mGal to ?390 mGal in SW to NE direction due to the isostaic adjustment. Gravity anomaly is very low near Harsil, Badrinath and Joshimath area and observed higher elevation due to the deep rooted basement. However, there are extrusion of crystalline basement in and around the Badrinath area due to the resettlement of geologic process which are overlaid to the top surface of the sedimentary layers. Euler deconvolution technique has been applied to detect the direct basement depth and results show a good correlation with the average depth of the spectral analysis and other works carried by different authors. Three gravity profiles are selected in appropriate places orienting SW-NE direction with a profile length of 160 km, 150 km and 140 km respectively in the study area for calculating the average depth of the basement rock. The average basement depth calculated is around 11.27 km using the spectral analysis technique and results are well correlated with the results of various workers. Euler deconvolution studies along the three selected profiles have been interpreted. It has been observed that there are more number of cluster points falling between depth ranges of 10 to 15 km, dipping in SW to NE direction. Euler’s study shows deep rooted connection near Main Frontal Thrust (MFT), Main Boundary Thrust (MBT), Main Central Thrust (MCT), Bearing Thrust (BT) and Vaikrita Thrust (VT) locations as per profile study. Based on these studies three geological models have been prepared along the profiles showing different tectonic resettlement and depth of crystalline basement. Crystalline rocks exposed at the surface may be due to uplift along the shear in the MCT zone by kinetic flow basically, Munsiayari Thrust (MT) and VT in the of NW-Himalaya region.

Genesis of brines in the basement of the Western Siberian Artesian Basin based on the use of genetic coefficients

This work discusses the possible ways that the chemical composition of the waters in the crystalline basement within several southeastern areas of West Siberia may be formed. Based on an analysis of the ratios of the principal components of solutions (genetic factors), the conclusion is made that some peculiarities of brines contained in the basement cannot be explained from the standpoint of their sedimentogenic-infiltration genesis. Some of the chloride-calcium solutions, as well as hydrocarbonate-sodium waters, probably formed as a result of the supply of endogenous fluids with HCl and CO₂ into the crystalline rocks of the basement.     

贺兰山北段古元古代结晶基底变形特征及其区域构造意义

贺兰山北段结晶基底中保留有不同程度的韧性变形剪切带.通过详细的野外考察和室内显微构造研究,明确贺兰山北段的古元古代基底经历了4期韧性剪切变形:(1)早期顺层剪切带表现出中下部地壳层次的变形样式,运动学特征一致反映了近南北向的伸展;(2)麻粒岩相变质的糜棱片麻岩剪切带为南北向挤压的产物,导致经历高温高压变质的孔兹岩系从下地壳向中部地壳抬升;(3)高级糜棱岩(低角闪岩相-高绿片岩相)剪切带涉及的2次伸展运动(北西-南东向伸展和北东-南西向伸展)使得基底进一步向中部地壳抬升,可能发生在形成孔兹岩系的同一造山运动的晚期伸展垮塌过程中;(4)北东-近东西向左行逆冲绿片岩相糜棱岩剪切带则将结晶基底抬升到中上部地壳层次,其运动学特征与高级糜棱岩剪切带明显不同,可能是另一造山运动的产物.贺兰山北段与大青山-乌拉山地区有相似的韧性剪切带和构造变形,表明华北克拉通西部北缘存在一致的近东西走向的古元古代碰撞造山运动以及随后另一造山运动的改造.     

Tectonic style of the Appalachian allochthonous zone of southern Quebec: Seismic and gravimetric evidence

An integrated interpretation of seismic reflection and gravity results yields an image of the structural units (nappes, overthrust sheets and underthrust slabs) of the Cambrian-Ordovician metasedimentary and metavolcanic sequences of the Appalachian province of southern Quebec at depth and the relative position of the underlying Precambrian crystalline basement. The tectonics related to crystalline Precambrian basement may be correlated with four interpretations and combinations of these. A décollement of Paleozoic sedimentary and volcanic piles over a rigid crystalline basement is most probable considering the interpretation of gravity and especially seismic data. The tectonic style at depth is rather unresolved from surface geological information. The elaboration of a two-dimensional model is constrained by physical properties of rocks, maximum depth extents of individual bodies and seismic reflectors in addition to surface geology. Finally, a minimum of 1500 km of shortening and Iapetan closing is suggested.     

造山带逆冲推覆构造研究的主要新进展

造山带逆冲推覆构造研究是造山带研究中最为重要的课题之一。造山带外带即前陆褶皱冲断带(主要发育盖层冲断推覆体,一般遵循薄皮构造变形规则)与造山带内带(主要是基底褶皱推覆体,呈现厚皮构造变形规律)结晶逆冲推覆构造的几何学、运动学特征存在较大差异,二者形成机制也不相同,但其间仍有紧密的联系。近20年来造山带逆冲推覆构造研究的主要新进展为:①前陆褶皱冲断带逆冲断层及其相关褶皱的几何学特征分析已趋定量化,对其组合类型与演化时序有了更全面的认识,且对前陆褶皱冲断带的发展演化模式取得了新的共识,即遵循临界库仑楔模式;②平衡剖面技术在前陆褶皱冲断带的应用已从二维平衡与复原演进到三维平衡与复原,且日渐计算机化;③对造山带内带结晶基底逆冲推覆构造的主要类型(C型与F型逆冲岩席)及其特征已有较深的理解;④对前陆褶皱冲断带与结晶基底逆冲构造的相互关系及其形成演化模式有了新认识。目前造山带逆冲推覆构造研究过程中存在的主要问题为:①造山带内带结晶逆冲推覆构造的研究比较薄弱;②造山带晚期走滑构造及伸展构造的叠加与改造使得造山带内结晶逆冲推覆构造更为复杂化,致使其研究难度加大;③全面、精细的造山带深部地球物理资料较缺乏;④造山带内结晶逆冲岩席变形变质历史与超高压变质岩的形成机制及折返过程之间的关系尚未揭示清楚。在今后研究过程中应加强对上述问题的深入研究。     

华北克拉通古/中元古代界线和相关地质问题讨论

从18到16亿年,全球构造格局、古地理环境及生物演化发生重要变革。就全球地质演化历史而言,结晶基底的形成标志着古元古代的结束,而稳定盖层的发育标志着中元古代的开始。在国际地层年表上,古元古代末期(18~16亿年)被称之为"固结纪",古/中元古代的界线被划定在16亿年。在华北克拉通,一般认为"吕梁运动"是结晶基底最终形成的标志性构造-热事件,此后发育以长城系为代表的地台型沉积盖层。长期以来,我国地质界一直以长城系的沉积代表中元古代的开始,并将古/中元古代的界限置于18亿年,与国际地层年表相差2亿年,以至于在中外文献中对中国18~16亿年间的地质记录的表述方式混乱。究其原因,主要有:1华北克拉通基底的形成或最终克拉通化是以"吕梁运动"的结束为标志,结晶基底最晚期的变质年龄不晚于18亿年;2长城系的底界年龄(18亿年)一直缺乏可靠的数据,目前对华北克拉通范围内稳定盖层发育的起始时间及代表性沉积记录,尚无统一的认识;3对华北克拉通由基底形成到盖层的演化及构造体制转折的动力学过程等见解不一,也缺少精细的年代学制约。本文综述了华北克拉通尤其是南部地区18~16亿年岩浆-沉积记录的研究进展,就古/中元古代界线及相关地层对比和划分方案进行了讨论,并指出了亟需解决的重要科学问题。作者认为:1华北克拉通18~16亿年的火山-沉积记录在其南部地区最广泛、最完整。其中,熊耳群火山岩系(18~17.5亿年),包括底部发育的河湖相砂岩-泥岩沉积——大古石组,早于蓟县剖面的长城群,是华北陆块结晶基底形成后最早的盖层沉积。2华北克拉通古/中元古代的分界年龄目前有2种选择:一是18亿年,即熊耳群火山岩系底部大古石组的起始沉积年龄;二是16亿年,将蓟县剖面长城系的高于庄组划归蓟县系,长城系的大红峪组及以下地层归为古元古代,18~16亿年的火山-沉积岩系均归为古元古代末期的固结纪。3华北克拉通18~16亿年的地质记录包括早期的熊耳群和晚期的长城群火山-沉积岩系,以及多期次的基性岩墙、斜长岩杂岩体、A-型花岗岩(包括环斑花岗岩)等的发育。目前对它们的成因和产出的地球动力学背景存有诸多争议,精确构建该时期岩浆-沉积作用的时序,并与全球典型克拉通进行对比,进而解析华北克拉通由结晶基底形成到稳定盖层发育阶段的构造体制转折和动力学过程,为重新厘定古/中元古代界线和相关地层划分方案提供依据。这些是我国前寒武纪地质研究的重要课题。     

上扬子北缘川北地区结晶基底晶质石墨矿数据集

中国双相沉积盆地、古老结晶基底与东北地区深层潜在油气藏

基于我国双相沉积盆地与东北地域深部岩性地层潜在油气的必然前景,故必须把握全区沉积建造、结晶基底的起伏,火山岩分布和油、气盆地在浅部与深部不同岩相的空间展布;特别要在新的理念导向下,突破已有框架,重新进行油气远景的剖析和区划,深化认识油气形成和储集空间展布的深层动力过程.为此,揭示不同构造地域"透明"沉积建造、古老结晶基底和壳、幔深层动力学响应,必将成为我国在深部发现大型和超大型潜在油气藏的关键所在.通过国内外油气能源分布状况的研究指出,中国在多元共享世界能源的同时,必须立足于本土并强化安全、可靠与可持续供给的能源战略后备基地的建设.在剖析和研究我国沉积盆地中油气储层、沉积建造和结晶基底的基点上发现,在沉积盆地地域陆相地层下面仍普遍存在着海相地层,即盆地应为双相沉积盆地(陆相 海相);基底不应专指中、新生代沉积地层的底部,而应为古老的变质岩基底,即结晶地壳的顶部.基于这样的理念和对几个双相沉积盆地层序实例的分析提出:我国油气能源勘探在深部尚具有广阔的空间;在我国东北地域应全面进行双相沉积建造、火山岩分布、古老结晶基底的高精度探查;油气和沉积盆地形成的深层过程、动力学响应乃东北大庆、吉林等油气田及深部和周边地域发现新的油气藏、大幅度提升油气藏深部潜在空间的必须.基于双相沉积盆地和古老变质岩基底的研究,对在东北地域查明双相沉积建造、古老结晶基底、火山岩分布和第二深度空间(5 000～10 000 m)油气藏地球物理勘探与整体规划提出了布署和建议.     

柴北缘布赫特山一带达肯大坂岩群变质岩变形特征、地球化学特征及地质意义

古元古代达肯大坂岩群为柴北缘构造带的变质结晶基底,是柴北缘造山带的重要组成部分。前人在德令哈以西的鱼卡河—锡铁山—沙柳河一带和大柴旦等地对达肯大坂岩群做了较深入的研究,但对于柴北缘东段的研究还相对薄弱,缺乏东西段的对比研究。通过对布赫特山一带达肯大坂岩群中片麻岩和斜长角闪片岩的岩石学、岩石地球化学、年代学研究和区域对比,认为研究区的岩性、矿物组合、变质程度与德令哈以西鱼卡河—锡铁山—沙柳河一带达肯大坂岩群具有较高的相似性。布赫特山一带达肯大坂岩群主要为一套碎屑岩夹火山岩的岩石组合,变形强烈,其形成环境为岛弧与活动性陆缘的过渡环境,且岩浆来源为壳幔混染。由采集的2件Sm-Nd同位素样品得到了2组等时线年龄分别为2085±14Ma和2027±19Ma。由此可知达肯大坂岩群为古元古代柴北缘地区的变质结晶基底,是柴北缘古元古代造山带的重要组成部分。     

扬子地台西缘结晶基底的时代

对扬子地台西缘结晶基底变质地层以及岩浆片麻岩中变质地层残片或包裹体中锆石SHRIMP U-Pb同位素年龄研究表明,在康定地区辉长–闪长质片麻岩中,表壳岩包体—糜棱岩化的长英质片岩和宝兴地区黑云斜长角闪岩的年龄分别为816±8.6 Ma和826±13 Ma,代表了它们的原岩——酸性火山岩和火山凝灰岩的形成年龄;泸定地区变质岩层中长英质糜棱岩和斜长角闪岩的年龄分别为816±9 Ma和818±8 Ma,代表了中性火山岩和基性火山岩的形成时代;茨达地区斜长角闪岩和角闪黑云斜长片麻岩的年龄分别为830±7 Ma和827±10 Ma,代表了其原岩火山–沉积建造的形成时代。以上数据表明,所谓的结晶基底都是新元古代的产物,在形成时间上与盐边群、盐井群等褶皱基底的相一致,只是变质程度上略有差异。因此该区并不存在古老（太古宙—古元古代）的结晶基底。     

藏北羌塘盆地基底变质岩的锆石SHRIMP年龄及其地质意义

羌塘盆地经受了青藏高原隆升事件等强烈的构造作用,盆地是否具有刚性结晶基底,对于油气的保存至关重要。长期以来对于该盆地是否具有前古生代的结晶基底,分歧较大。笔者新近在羌塘盆地中央隆起带北缘俄久卖发现的含夕线石和蓝晶石的片麻岩以及其附近发现的极浅变质的奥陶系地层,证实羌塘盆地具有变质结晶基底。本文进一步开展了片麻岩中锆石的SHRIMP年龄分析,获得了7组锆石年龄：2498~2374Ma 、1780 ~1666Ma、645~522Ma、465~420Ma、402~369Ma、270~233Ma和223~198Ma。通过CL图象对各组年龄锆石进行成因分析,并结合区域地质特征,认为1780 ~1666Ma为该片麻岩的主期变质年龄,羌塘盆地具有前寒武纪结晶基底,并对其余年龄组反映的构造热事件及其地质意义进行了讨论。     

敦煌复合造山带前寒武纪地质体的组成和演化

敦煌复合造山带位于塔里木克拉通东端,是连接塔里木克拉通和华北克拉通的重要纽带。近年来,敦煌基础地质研究取得了重大进展。本文简要回顾了敦煌基础地质研究历史和现状,系统归纳了区内前寒武纪地质单元时空分布特征及前寒武纪构造-热事件序列,初步讨论了前寒武纪大陆地壳形成和演化规律、前寒武纪结晶基底亲缘性及构造演化过程,提出:(1)敦煌造山带前寒武纪结晶基底形成于ca.3.1~1.6Ga,构造-热事件主要划分为新太古代(ca.2.7~2.6Ga和2.6~2.5Ga)、古元古代晚期(ca.2.0~1.8Ga)和中元古代早期(1.8~1.6Ga)三个阶段;(2)新太古代早期(ca.2.7~2.6Ga)和新太古代晚期(2.6~2.5Ga)是敦煌造山带大陆地壳形成的主要阶段;古元古代晚期(ca.2.0~1.8Ga)和中元古代早期(1.8~1.6Ga)主要是古老大陆地壳物质再循环阶段,也有少量新生陆壳物质的形成;(3)敦煌造山带前寒武纪结晶基底最初拼合事件可能发生在新太古代末期(~2.5Ga),之后经历了古元古代晚期(ca.2.0~1.8Ga)汇聚、碰撞造山过程,直到中元古代早期(1.8~1.6Ga),造山活动结束,前寒武纪结晶基底最终固结,进入稳定发展阶段;(4)前寒武纪结晶基底最终稳定固结之后,即～1.6Ga之后,敦煌前寒武纪结晶基底可能进入长达12亿年的静寂期,一直处于稳定状态,目前没有发现相关的岩浆-变质-沉积记录(类似于地盾状态),直至古生代志留纪开始活化(～440Ma),卷入古亚洲洋南缘俯冲、碰撞造山过程并被强烈改造。
