珠江口盆地重要不整合界面与珠江沉积体系演化分析

以珠江口盆地区域二维地震资料、钻井资料为基础, 结合南海扩张演化历史, 重点研究了盆地内部重要不整合面、盆地演化以及对珠江沉积体系演化的控制作用, 旨在为南海北部珠江沉积体系深水油气勘探提供支持和参考。研究结果表明:珠江口盆地除基底外, 发育三个重要的不整合面, 即破裂不整合、陆坡跃迁不整合和陆坡坡度突变不整合;据此将珠江口盆地珠江沉积体系演化划分为四个阶段:裂陷期主要发育河流、湖泊相沉积;断陷陆坡期主要发育陆架边缘三角洲沉积(前积层较陡);拗陷缓陆坡期发育陆架边缘三角洲沉积(前积层较缓);拗陷陡陆坡期主要为三角洲-海底峡谷-海底扇沉积。断陷陆坡期与拗陷缓坡期陆架边缘三角洲的勘探, 应沿陆架坡折横向去勘探;而拗陷陡陆坡期三角洲-海底峡谷-海底扇, 应采取纵向勘探的思路, 垂直于陆架坡折方向寻找油气。     

南海西北次海盆构造演化的沉积响应

通过对南海西北次海盆新获得的地震资料进行综合解释和层序地层分析,揭示了海盆中的沉积对构造演化阶段的响应。始新世-早渐新世陆缘裂陷期,盆地以对称裂谷形式,发育地堑裂谷层序,沉积以近物源为特征,相变大,发育了冲积扇-扇三角洲-湖相沉积,沉积体系的配置受同沉积断裂控制明显,快速沉降和充分的物源供给决定了沉积体系的构成特征。晚渐新世海底扩张期,岩石圈破裂,陆缘进一步拉开并开始海底扩张,出现海相沉积,来自陆坡的陆架边缘三角洲越过陆坡进入海盆,在海盆内沉积了一套向海盆中部逐渐减薄的楔状地层,并伴有大量的火山碎屑沉积物。早-中新世以来热沉降期,随着构造沉降增大,相对海平面总体不断上升,进入深水盆地,形成陆架陆坡体系,大量的碎屑物质以重力流、深水底流等深水作用方式进入海盆;沉降晚期陆架-陆坡物源供应减弱,琼东南中央峡谷成为其主要的物质供应来源通道,在此期间二次海平面下降、回升的综合作用下,海盆内发育了多期以下切水道为特征的低水位域沉积体系。     

珠江口盆地白云北坡珠江组下部陆架边缘沉积演化

根据层序地层学理论,运用地震相、地震沉积学等分析手段,结合钻井、测井等资料,对珠江口盆地白云北坡珠江组下部的沉积演化进行了研究,研究发现:珠江组下部发育陆架边缘三角洲-海相沉积体系,地震剖面中陆架边缘三角洲前缘分布在Y2井区及以南区域,平面上呈菱形,其两侧发育改造的滨海砂坝,南部发育斜坡浊积扇,这三者形成了海退体系中的主要岩性圈闭;X1、Y1井区及以北发育海进体系中的滨海砂坝圈闭。海平面升降、物源供给和构造古地貌对沉积演化和圈闭形成过程中起明显的控制作用。21.0~19.0Ma期间,海平面下降和河流回春作用是形成陆架边缘三角洲的主要原因,构造古地貌及其控制的古水深控制了相带展布与边界。     

甘肃酒西白垩纪盆地沉积构成及盆地演化动力学分析

甘肃酒西白垩纪盆地是酒西含油气盆地的一个单型盆地,发育了冲积扇、水下重力流扇、扇三角洲、湖泊、河流沉积体系,并在湖盆演化的不同阶段分别形成冲积扇-扇三角洲-滨浅湖-砾质辫状河、近岸水下重力流扇-中深湖-扇三角洲、扇三角洲-中浅湖-河流沉积体系组合型式.依据等时界面,湖盆充填序列可划分为三个构造层序,相对应于初始裂陷、扩张裂陷-热衰减沉降、湖盆萎缩关闭三个演化阶段.研究证明,地幔热柱的形成和衰减、燕山运动等远程应力作用控制盆地的演化.

梅河盆地古近系梅河组沉积层序演化特征

梅河盆地为典型的断陷型含煤、油页岩盆地。通过岩芯、测井和地震的层序标志识别,在梅河盆地梅河组识别出1个巨层序、2个超层序和4个三级层序。其中,砂砾岩段、下部含煤段、中部泥岩段、上部含煤段分别对应着三级层序I、II、III和IV。通过对层序地层格架的认识,结合构造、沉积分析,揭示了研究区梅河组沉积层序演化规律,三级层序地层格架内沉积演化分别为:层序I发育了盆地初始裂陷阶段的冲积型和扇三角洲沉积;层序II发育了盆地裂陷扩张阶段扇三角洲、沼泽和浅水湖泊沉积;层序III发育了盆地最大扩张阶段深水湖泊沉积;层序IV发育了盆地萎缩阶段扇三角洲和湖泊沉积。因此,梅河盆地梅河组的层序I到层序IV的演化揭示了中国东部伸展环境下断陷盆地从初始裂陷阶段到盆地萎缩阶段完整的不同沉积层序演化特征。     

南海南部陆缘盆地裂陷-漂移-前陆期构造演化及沉积响应: 以礼乐盆地为例

通过礼乐盆地构造-地层-沉积分析,查明了其构造演化及沉积充填特征,揭示了其与南海扩张事件的成因联系,为南海边缘海演化研究提供了参考。研究结果表明:礼乐盆地新生代构造-沉积演化经历了3个差异显著的阶段,即古新世-早渐新世陆缘裂陷-滨浅海碎屑岩沉积阶段、晚渐新世-早中新世裂离漂移-浅海碳酸盐岩沉积阶段、中中新世以来周缘前陆挠曲沉降-区域差异沉积阶段。古新世-早渐新世,古南海向东南俯冲,华南古陆陆缘因水平引张力作用发生被动裂陷,形成礼乐盆地;此时以滨浅海环境为主,受碎屑物源供给控制,在盆地西北部发育一系列规模相对较大的辫状河三角洲,礼乐盆地东部、南部邻近古南海,仅在孤立隆起边缘发育规模较小的扇三角洲。晚渐新世-早中新世,古南海持续俯冲,新南海扩张,礼乐-巴拉望地块裂离华南古陆,向南漂移,盆地沉降缓慢,断层活动弱;此时以浅海-半深海环境为主,碎屑物源匮乏,盆地北部发育大型碳酸盐岩台地和生物礁,南部总体为半深海环境。中中新世以来,新南海扩张停止,礼乐-巴拉望地块向菲律宾岛弧俯冲碰撞,礼乐盆地进入周缘前陆期,以非对称挠曲沉降为特点,水深增大,断层活动增强;此时以半深海-浅海为主,盆地北部总体以碳酸盐岩台地和生物礁为特色,盆地南部局部发育深水重力流沉积。礼乐盆地构造-沉积演化与古南海俯冲-消亡、新南海扩张-关闭过程密切相关。     

珠江口盆地中中新世SQ14.8层序-沉积演化及其地质意义

中中新世,位于南海北部陆缘的珠江口盆地发生了构造、沉积和古气候格局的骤然变迁,而对古珠江沉积体系层序、沉积的研究为重塑该变革提供了良好契机.本文利用珠江口盆地三维地震和钻井资料,选取中中新世SQ14.8三级层序开展了系统的层序地层和沉积解剖,通过厘定关键层序、体系域界面,建立了高精度区域四分体系域格架,并在此基础上重建陆架-陆坡区主要沉积体系的宏观展布特征和演化过程.研究发现,SQ14.8三级层序记录了珠江口盆地新近纪以来最大规模的一次相对海平面下降,引发沉积滨线跨越陆架长距离迁移到陆架坡折,发育了从低位到强制海退完整的体系域单元.古珠江三角洲作为陆架区主要的沉积体系,在相对海平面升降旋回的驱动下,其发育位置从内陆架到陆架边缘的迁移过程中,发育主控因素也由河流作用为主逐渐变为河流和海洋水动力共同控制.强制海退体系域的识别及沉积展布研究为预测深水储层提供了依据,该时期发育的陆架边缘三角洲下方陆坡区是寻找富砂重力流储集体的有利地区,而陆架边缘三角洲侧翼砂质沉积较少,下方的扇体以泥质扇为主.综合分析认为中中新世变冷事件是造成13.8 Ma相对海平面强烈下降的主要原因,在珠江口盆地促成SQ14.8层序典型强制海退体系域及陆架边缘三角洲的发育,进一步证明该事件是一次全球性的气候事件,其响应不仅可以在大洋钻孔获取的O同位素中找到证据,在边缘海盆的沉积记录中也有明显反映.     

东海丽水西次凹古新统明月峰组层序--体系域分析及沉积体系展布

古新统明月峰组是丽水西次凹中重要的含油气层段,其浅海-三角洲相沉积构成了一个完整的三级层序。层序界面在地震剖面上表现为下超、削截、下切,界面底部的下切水道在测井曲线上具块状、箱型等特征性的反映。依据初始海泛面、最大海泛面和高位域晚期存在的明显海退界面,三级层序内可划分出低水位、海侵、高水位和下降体系域四部分。层序界面和主要的海侵、海退面均得到了古生物丰度和分异度的佐证。通过对上述4个体系域平面编图,揭示了不同时期沉积体系展布及其演化。低位-海侵期发育下切谷、滨岸碎屑-三角洲及扇三角洲前缘-远端浊积砂体,前者分布在盆地西缘斜坡带,物源来自西北和东南两个方向;后者发育于盆地中部的东缘陡坡带,物源由东向西推进。高位域和下降体系域以发育大型高角度进积的三角洲前缘砂为特征,高位域三角洲分布在盆地西侧,且南部比北部发育;下降域盆地沉积范围明显缩小,三角洲主要集中在盆地西侧中部。     

东非鲁伍马盆地窄陆架背景下的深水沉积体系

通过岩心、钻井、地震等资料以及物源分析,详细研究了东非鲁伍马盆地构造及沉积演化特征,初步提出了研究区窄陆架背景之下的沉积体系模式。研究认为,鲁伍马盆地陆坡较陡峭且峡谷水道非常发育,而深海平原地形趋于平缓,这有利于形成大型海底扇沉积体系。鲁伍马盆地沉积主要受控于鲁伍马河水系,尤其从渐新世开始受区域隆升影响,导致盆地西缘遭受抬升剥蚀,沉积物源供应充足,加之鲁伍马河水系较为发育,并伴随全球性海退,形成了庞大的向海推进的鲁伍马三角洲沉积体系,这也为海底扇的发育提供了丰富的物源,使得研究区发育了鲁伍马三角洲—水道—海底扇复合沉积体系。     

珠江口盆地裂后阶段性差异沉降及其成因机制*

位于南海北部陆缘的珠江口盆地裂后沉降特征不同于陆内典型断陷盆地。研究表明,盆地裂后期发生了阶段性有序差异沉降,可分为4个阶段: (1)渐新世早期(~33.9~27.2 Ma),以盆地整体缓慢沉降,大规模海侵为主要特征;(2)渐新世晚期(~27.2~23.0 Ma),以邻近西北次海盆的珠四坳陷强烈沉降为主要特征,差异沉降控制了陆架坡折带的发育和该时期陆架浅水和陆坡深水沉积环境的分布;(3)中新世早—中期(~23.0~10.0 Ma),陆缘强烈沉降区向北扩展至珠二坳陷,尤其是白云凹陷,导致陆架坡折带向北跃迁,并奠定了现今陆架浅水和陆坡深水的沉积格局;(4)中新世晚期—现今(~10.0~0 Ma),陆缘构造沉降逐渐减弱,陆坡由沉积区转变为沉积过路区,沉积物得以大量进入西北次海盆。渐新世2期快速沉降的初始时间,分别对应于南海扩张脊的跃迁,陆缘裂后沉降随扩张脊向南跃迁而向北扩展,并伴有岩浆作用的早强晚弱特点,而沉降量的大小则与裂陷期地壳的薄化程度正相关,反映了陆缘岩石圈经历了早期挠曲回弹的均衡调整和扩张脊跃迁导致地幔物质有序向南撤离而沉降的演化过程。珠江口盆地裂后有序差异沉降控制了陆架坡折带的发育,进而控制了浅水与深水两大沉积体系的展布。     

张性边缘海的成因演化特征及沉积充填模式——以珠江口盆地为例

珠江口盆地的形成和演化过程经历了晚白垩世至渐新世的裂陷-晚渐新世至中中新世的热沉降-晚中新世至今的断块升降3个演化阶段,沉积了陆相-半封闭海相-开阔海相3套不同的沉积体系组合。总结归纳出珠江口盆地新生代3个阶段的沉积充填模式,并发现：裂陷阶段以充填式堆积和河湖沉积为特征,形成盆地最重要的湖相烃源岩--文昌组泥岩;热沉降阶段以海陆交替、海相沉积体系为特征,为形成良好的储盖组合创造了条件,沉积了珠江口盆地内最主要的储油层系--珠海组、珠江组以及韩江组,主要为滨海相、三角洲相等碎屑岩沉积;晚期盆地整体下沉,区域性盖层形成。该沉积组合反映了张性边缘海盆地的演化特点,盆地演化与资源效应表现在裂陷期、热沉降期及断块升降期的生储盖配置,故勘探目的层段为热沉降阶段所形成的三角洲碎屑岩与陆棚碳酸盐岩。     

南海北部渐新世末沉积环境及物源突变事件

南海北部沉积物成分在渐新世末(23.8Ma)发生剧烈改变,出现地球化学成分上的突变,并在深海沉积中发生沉积间断及滑塌堆积。这些沉积事件在时间上与南海扩张轴由东西方向转为北东—南西方向发生跳跃的时间十分吻合,是渐新世以来南海构造演化史上最为重大的构造事件。经过这次构造事件,白云凹陷由渐新世晚期的浅水陆架环境转为中新世以后的深水陆坡环境,南海北部地区沉积物源由渐新世近源为主转变为中新世远源为主的供给特点;并使南海北部地区自中新世以来总体呈现海侵的特征。这次沉积环境与物源突变事件对南海北部地区油气藏的形成影响深远。     

Late Oligocene sedimentary environments and provenance abrupt change event in the northern South China Sea

A significant change in composition was recorded in late Oligocene sediments from the northern South China Sea. This abrupt event coincided with the seafloor spreading axis jump across the Oligocene/Miocene boundary, leading to sedimentation breaks and slumps as well as obvious changes in sediment geochemical composition, and representing the greatest tectonic activity in the South China Sea region since the Oligocene. Through this tectonic event, the sedimentary environment in the Baiyun sag area transformed from a continental shelf in the late Oligocene to a continental slope since the early Miocene, the provenance of the sediments changed from neighboring areas to the hinterland of the South China block, and the sea level rose since the early Miocene in the area. Therefore, this abrupt change event has a profound influence on the evolution of petroleum offshore in the northern South China Sea. __________ Translated from Geology in China, 2007, 34(6): 1022–1031 [译自: 中国地质]     

Sequence stratigraphy of a Mesozoic carbonate platform-to-basin system in western Sicily

Sequence stratigraphic studies of the Triassic through Paleogene carbonate successions of platform, slope and basin in western Sicily (Palermo and Termini Imerese Mountains) have identified a sedimentary cyclicity mostly caused by relative oscillations of sea level. The stratigraphic successions of the Imerese and Panormide palaeogeographic domains of the southern Tethyan continental margin were studied with physical-stratigraphy and facies analysis to reconstruct the sedimentary evolution of this platform-to-basin system. The Imerese Basin is characterized by a carbonate and siliceous-calcareous succession, 1200–1400m thick, Late Triassic to Eocene in age. The strata display a typical example of a carbonate platform margin, characterized by resedimented facies with progradational stacking patterns. The Panormide Carbonate Platform is characterized by a carbonate succession, 1000–1200 m thick, Late Triassic to Late Eocene, mostly consisting of shallow-water facies with periodic subaerial exposure. The cyclic arrangement has been obtained by the study of the stratigraphic signatures (unconformities, facies sequences, erosional surfaces and stratal geometries) found in the slope successions. The recognized pattern has been compared with coeval facies of the shelf. This correlation provided evidence of sedimentary evolution, influenced by progradation and backstepping of the shelf deposits. The stratigraphic architecture of the platform-to-basin system is characterized by four major transgressive/regressive cycles during the late Triassic to late Eocene. These cycles, framed in a chronostratigraphic chart, allows the correlation of the investigated shelf-to-basin system with the geological evolution of the African continental margin during the Mesozoic, showing tectono-eustatic cycles. The first cycle, encompassing the late Triassic to early Jurassic, appears to be related to the late syn-rift stage of the continental margin evolution. The following three cycles, spanning from the Jurassic to Eocene, can be related to the post-rift evolution and to thermal subsidence changes.     

Seismic stratigraphy and the sedimentation history in the Laxmi Basin of the eastern Arabian Sea: Constraints from IODP Expedition 355

Detailed interpretation of seismic stratigraphic sequences in the Laxmi Basin of the eastern Arabian Sea are presented in this study using closely spaced high resolution multi-channel seismic (MCS) data. Our stratigraphic interpretation is further corroborated using recent drilling results in the Laxmi Basin, derived from the long sediment cores collected during International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expedition 355. Integrated core-log interpretation discussed in the present study, offer important insights about the lithostratigraphic variations in this region. Analyses of multi-channel seismic reflection data reveal five depositional sequences (ranging from Paleocene to Recent) that led to the development of this marginal basin since the Cenozoic period. Regional igneous basement is successfully imaged, which was also validated by deep sea coring during the IODP Expedition 355. In the present study, we primarily focus on the post-rift sedimentation in the Laxmi Basin and its possible mechanisms. Our detailed interpretation in the prevailing tectonic framework of the basin suggests that near-shelf oldest volcaniclastic sedimentation immediately overlying the acoustic basement is linked to the onset of India–Madagascar and India–Seychelles rifting activities during the Late Cretaceous period. Eventually, during the Early-Mid to Late Miocene, the basin received maximum sedimentation dominantly through an extensive mass transport mechanism implying possible large-scale deformation on the Indian shelf. Subsequent sediment input to the basin appears to have been fed variably via the Indus Fan as well as coastal discharge from the Indian mainland. The total sediment thickness in the Laxmi Basin ranges from 1.1 to 3.5 km. New stratigraphic information and sediment isopach maps presented here provide vital information about syn- and post-rift sedimentation pattern in the region and their long term tectonic implications.     

Petroleum Geology in Deepwater Settings in a Passive Continental Margin of a Marginal Sea: A Case Study from the South China Sea

Deepwater oil and gas exploration has become a global hotspot in recent years and the study of the deep waters of marginal seas is an important frontier research area.The South China Sea(SCS)is a typical marginal sea that includes Paleo SCS and New SCS tectonic cycles.The latter includes continental marginal rifting,intercontinental oceanic expansion and oceanic shrinking,which controlled the evolution of basins,and the generation,migration and accumulation of hydrocarbons in the deepwater basins on the continental margin of the northern SCS.In the Paleogene,the basins rifted along the margin of the continent and were filled mainly with sediments in marine-continental transitional environments.In the Neogene–Quaternary,due to thermal subsidence,neritic-abyssal facies sediments from the passive continental margin of the SCS mainly filled the basins.The source rocks include mainly Oligocene coal-bearing deltaic and marine mudstones,which were heated by multiple events with high geothermal temperature and terrestrial heat flow,resulting in the generation of gas and oil.The faults,diapirs and sandstones controlled the migration of hydrocarbons that accumulated principally in a large canyon channel,a continental deepwater fan,and a shelf-margin delta.     

琼东南盆地莺歌海组陆架边缘轨迹演化及主控因素

陆架边缘连接浅水陆架及深水区,其迁移轨迹动态演化可记录和反馈浅水—深水物质输送过程及样式,开展陆架边缘轨迹量化分析,对预测深水沉积体系及油气勘探意义重大。基于井—震资料并选取过研究区LS33a钻井的地震剖面,利用典型的地震同相轴接触关系在琼东南盆地上新统莺歌海组顶底及内部共计识别出5个层序界面,将莺歌海组自下而上划分为4套三级层序。依据地震反射特征量化统计琼东南盆地莺歌海组陆架边缘轨迹,识别并划分出超高角度滑塌型(50°<α<180°)、高角度上升型(5°<α<50°)和低角度上升型(0°<α<5°)等三种陆架边缘轨迹类型。琼东南盆地上新世陆架边缘迁移轨迹经历了4个演化阶段:阶段一(5.5～4.2 Ma)构造稳定且盆地北部陆架物源供给充足,该阶段陆架边缘轨迹迁移角度大多低于5°;阶段二(4.2～3.2 Ma)由于海平面迅速下降、物源供给减弱,陆架边缘滑塌致使陆架边缘轨迹迁移角度增大;阶段三(3.2～2.7 Ma)由于青藏高原隆升、气候转变(3 Ma开始南海及周边地区冬季风增强),指示物源供给增强,陆架边缘轨迹迁移角度再次减小;阶段四(2.7～1.8 ...     

Sedimentary formations of the Cretaceous Sakhalin Basin (Far East Asia)

The marine sedimentary formations of the Middle Albian to Maastrichtian in the Cretaceous Sakhalin Basin (CSB) were investigated. These successions of strata consist of interbedded sandy, clayey and calcareous rocks which are underlain by heterogeneous metamorphosed (up to greenschist facies) Paleozoic to Mesozoic (pre-Aptian) rocks. The studied sections display several different facies reflecting geological settings ranging from an inner shelf to a continental slope. Three depositional complexes bound by regional subaerial unconformities are recognized within the marine successions. Since the Albian, the CSB has been a rapidly subsiding marginal part of the Okhotsk Sea plate. The Naiba Valley succession, corresponding to a sublittoral zone, shows extremely high sedimentation rates up to 190 m/Ma. The stratigraphic distribution of lithofacies indicates that the CSB became shallower from the Middle Albian to the Maastrichtian.
