依靠科技进步 发展天然气工业

一、对我国石油天然气工业发展历史、现状、前景的评估 1、世界天然气工业,从50年代以来迅速发展。1950年世界剩余探明储量为8.5万亿m~3,1988年初已达111.9万亿m~3。其探明储量大约每十年翻一番。据十二届世界石油大会(1987年,美国休斯敦)资料介绍,尚可寻找的储量为119万亿m~3。以目前年产约1.5～1.8万亿m~3(有人预测2020年年产可达2.0万亿m~3)计算,世界天然气储量可维持开采100年以上。从全球来看,在可望的未来,天然气仍是不可替代的重要能源和化工原料。天然气工业仍处于蓬勃发展的趋势。     

Response of 1 × 2 pile group under eccentric lateral loading

A large scale model test of a 1 × 2 pile group was conducted in silts to investigate its behavior under eccentric lateral loading. The model pile group consisted of two well instrumented steel piles and was installed in a large soil tank with a close spacing of three-pile diameters on centers. The test results revealed that the eccentricity of lateral loads had limited effect on the overall performances of the 1 × 2 pile group, but significantly contributed to the unevenness of internal forces of the individual piles. The coupling effect between the lateral deflection and torque gave rise to the substantial increase in the torsional resistance of individual piles within the group, comparing to that of a torsionally loaded single pile. The contribution provided by the torsional resistances of individual piles in resisting the external torque continually decreased when the applied lateral load increased. In addition, a three-dimensional finite-element analysis for the pile group was performed and the simulated response was found to be in good agreement with the measured test results. Based on the same model, more cases with different loading conditions were further analyzed. It could be concluded from the analyses that the layout of individual piles within the group obviously affected the behavior of the 1 × 2 pile group under eccentric lateral loads.     

In situ AFM study on barite (0 0 1) surface dissolution in NaCl solutions at 30 °C

This paper reports in situ observations on barite (0 0 1) surface dissolution behavior in 0.1–0.001 M NaCl solutions at 30 °C using atomic force microscopy (AFM). The step retreating on barite (0 0 1) surfaces changed with increasing NaCl solution concentrations. In solutions with a higher NaCl concentration (⩾0.01 M), many steps showed curved or irregular fronts during the later experimental stage, while almost all steps in solutions with a lower NaCl concentration exhibited straight or angular fronts, even during the late stage. The splitting phenomenon of the initial 〈h k 0〉 one-layer steps (7.2 Å) into two half-layer steps (3.6 Å) occurred in all NaCl solutions, while that of the initial [0 1 0] one-layer steps observed only in the 0.1 M NaCl solution. The step retreat rates increased with an increasing NaCl solution concentration. We observed triangular etch pit and deep etch pit formation in all NaCl solutions, which tended to form late in solutions with lower NaCl concentrations. The deep etch pit morphology changed with increasing NaCl solution concentrations. A hexagonal form elongated in the [0 1 0] direction was bounded by the {1 0 0}, {3 1 0}, and (0 0 1) faces in a 0.001 M NaCl solution, and a rhombic form was bounded by the {5 1 0} and (0 0 1) faces in 0.01 M and 0.1 M NaCl solutions. An intermediate form was observed in a 0.005 M NaCl solution, which was defined by {1 0 0}, a curved face tangent to the [0 1 0] direction, {3 1 0}, and (0 0 1) faces: the intermediate form appeared between the hexagonal and rhombic forms in solutions with lower and higher NaCl concentrations, respectively. The triangular etch pit and deep etch pit growth rates also increased with the NaCl solution concentration. Combining the step and face retreat rates in NaCl solutions estimated in this AFM study as well as the data on the effect of water temperature on the retreat rates reported in our earlier study, we produced two new findings. One finding is that the retreat rates increase by approximately two-fold when the NaCl solution concentration increases by one order of magnitude, and the other finding is that the retreat rate increase due to a one order of magnitude increase in the NaCl concentration corresponds to an increase of approximately 8 °C in water temperature. This correlation may help to understand and evaluate increasing dissolution kinetics induced by the different mechanisms where barite dissolution is promoted by the catalytic effect of Na⁺ and Cl⁻ ions (through an increase in the NaCl solution concentration) or by an increase in the hydration of Ba²⁺ and SO₄²⁻ (through an increase in water temperature).     

断块构造|活动断块构造与地震活动

张文佑院士是我国最杰出的构造地质学家和大地构造学家,他提出和倡导的地质构造力学分析和历史分析相结合及断块构造理论符合当代构造地质和构造运动研究的新方向。断块构造是地球构造运动最基本的型式,板块构造是全球范围内的岩石圈构造,是最高一级的岩石圈断块构造。活动断块是现今构造运动最基本的型式,它既控制主要活动构造带和地震活动带的分布,也控制不同地区地震活动特征的差异。断块边界构造带是在构造变形和运动场中的不连续变形带,应力在此释放,应变在此局部化,位移在此发生,其差异活动最为强烈,因此,断块边界构造带是强震发生带,其活动性质会控制震源断层的特性。大地震孕育和发生在边界活动构造带的某些特殊部位,对其成核的构造和物理过程尚需深入进行研究。要特别注意断块整体性活动对地震活动的控制作用,断块的这种整体性活动与一定时期内地震活动主体地区分布有密切关系,所以,在活动构造研究中,要把断块的整体性活动与活动构造带的个体活动结合起来。     

Genetic link between saline and carbonatitic mantle fluids: The system NaCl-CaCO3-MgCO3 ± H2O ± Fe0 at 6 GPa

Melt inclusions in kimberlitic minerals and diamonds indicate that chlorides are important constituents of mantle carbonatite melts. Besides, alkaline chlorides are important constituents of saline high-density fluids (HDFs) found in diamonds from kimberlites and placers around the world. Continuous compositional variations suggest that saline and carbonatitic HDFs could be genetically linked. However, the essence of this link remains unclear owing to the lack of data on phase relations in the chloride-carbonate systems under pressure. Here we studied subsolidus and melting phase relations in the system NaCl–CaCO₃–MgCO₃ at 6 GPa and 1000–1600 °C using a Kawai-type multianvil press. We found that at 1000 °C, subsolidus assemblage consists of halite, magnesite, and aragonite. At higher temperatures, the stabilization of dolomite splits the subsolidus area into two partial ternary fields: halite + magnesite + dolomite and halite + dolomite + aragonite. The minimum on the liquidus surface corresponds to the halite-dolomite-aragonite ternary eutectic, situated at 1100 °C. The eutectic melt has Ca# 89 and contains 30 wt.% NaCl (26 mol% 2NaCl). The system has two ternary peritectics: halite + dolomite = magnesite + liquid located near the ternary eutectic and magnesite + dolomite = Mg-dolomite + liquid situated between 1300 and 1400 °C. Although under dry conditions incipient melting yields carbonate-dominated melt, the addition of water facilitates the fusion of NaCl and expands the liquid field to NaCl-rich compositions with up to 70 wt.% NaCl. The obtained results favor the idea that hydrous saline melts/fluids (brines) found as inclusions in diamonds could be a lower temperature derivative of mantle carbonatite melts and disagree with the hypothesis on chloride melt generation owing to the chloride-carbonate liquid immiscibility since no such immiscibility was established. We also studied the interaction of the NaCl–CaCO₃–MgCO₃ system with iron metal and found that carbonate reduction produces C-bearing species (Fe⁰, Fe-C melt, Fe₃C, Fe₇C₃, C⁰) and wüstite containing Na₂O, CaO, and MgO. Besides, a carbonate chloride compound, Ca₂Cl₂CO₃, was established among the reaction products. The interaction between NaCl-bearing carbonate melt shifts its composition toward Mg-poor and NaCl-rich. Given the above, an alternative hypothesis can be proposed, according to which the interaction of alkaline chloride-bearing carbonate melts formed in the subduction zones with the reduced mantle should be accompanied by diamond crystallization and shift the composition of the melt from carbonatitic to alkali-rich saline.     

A planet in transition: The onset of plate tectonics on Earth between 3 and 2 Ga?

Many geological and geochemical changes are recorded on Earth between 3 and 2 Ga.Among the more important of these are the following:(1)increasing proportion of basalts with"arc-like"mantle sources;(2)an increasing abundance of basalts derived from enriched(EM)and depleted(DM)mantle sources;(3)onset of a Great Thermal Divergence in the mantle;(4)a decrease in degree of melting of the mantle;(5)beginning of large lateral plate motions;(6)appearance of eclogite inclusions in diamonds;(7)appearance and rapid increase in frequency of collisional orogens;(8)rapid increase in the production rate of continental crust as recorded by zircon age peaks;(9)appearance of ophiolites in the geologic record,and(10)appearance of global LIP(large igneous province)events some of which correlate with global zircon age peaks.All of these changes may be tied directly or indirectly to cooling of Earth's mantle and corresponding changes in convective style and the strength of the lithosphere,and they may record the gradual onset and propagation of plate tectonics around the planet.To further understand the changes that occurred between 3 and 2 Ga,it is necessary to compare rocks,rock associations,tectonics and geochemistry during and between zircon age peaks.Geochemistry of peak and inter-peak basalts and TTGs needs to be evaluated in terms of geodynamic models that predict the existence of an episodic thermal regime between stagnant-lid and plate tectonic regimes in early planetary evolution.     

Insight into interactions of olivine-scCO2-water system at 140 °C and 15 MPa during CO2 mineral sequestration

CO₂ mineral sequestration (in ultrabasic or basaltic rocks) has been considered as a promising long-term and stable approach to reduce CO₂ in the atmosphere and would counteract the effect of global warming. Meanwhile, clays are widely found in ultrabasic reservoirs. In our study, clays were observed in natural olivine samples, which were used for laboratory experiments in a supercritical CO₂ system at 140 °C and 15 MPa. Initial olivine samples were crushed into two sizes which were large grains of ∼850–1000 μm and powder particles of ∼75–150 μm, with the durations of 400 and 1000 h for the powder and grains, respectively. The results showed amorphous silica was newly formed and this passivating layer could mitigate the water-rock interaction to some extent, but it would not play a long-term prohibited effect on secondary mineral carbonate formation as it is a Fe(III) free silica coating. More interestingly, the secondary carbonates were observed to form near the surface sites where locates more clays. Our findings provide insights into the reaction mechanisms of olivine-scCO₂-water interaction process in natural ultrabasic rocks.     

Coupled alkali-feldspar dissolution and secondary mineral precipitation in batch systems: 1. New experiments at 200 °C and 300 bars

Batch reactor experiments were conducted to assess perthitic alkali-feldspar dissolution and secondary mineral formation in an initially acidic fluid (pH = 3.1) at 200 °C and 300 bars. Temporal evolution of fluid chemistry was monitored by major element analysis of in situ fluid samples. Solid reaction products were retrieved from two identical experiments terminated after 5 and 78 days. Scanning electron microscopy revealed dissolution features and significant secondary mineral coverage on feldspar surfaces. Boehmite and kaolinite were identified as secondary minerals by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis of alkali-feldspar surfaces before and after reaction showed a trend of increasing Al/Si ratios and decreasing K/Al ratios with reaction progress, consistent with the formation of boehmite and kaolinite.Saturation indices of feldspars and secondary minerals suggest that albite dissolution occurred throughout the experiments, while K-feldspar exceeded saturation after 216 h of reaction. Reactions proceeded slowly and full equilibrium was not achieved, the relatively high temperature of the experiments notwithstanding. Thus, time series observations indicate continuous supersaturation with respect to boehmite and kaolinite, although the extent of this decreased with reaction progress as the driving force for albite dissolution decreased. The first experimental evidence of metastable co-existence of boehmite, kaolinite and alkali feldspar in the feldspar hydrolysis system is consistent with theoretical models of mineral dissolution/precipitation kinetics where the ratio of the secondary mineral precipitation rate constant to the rate constant of feldspar dissolution is well below unity. This has important implications for modeling the time-dependent evolution of feldspar dissolution and secondary mineral formation in natural systems.

Dielectric spectroscopy of oil-bearing rocks at 0.05–16 GHz

We have measured the dielectric spectra of sand and bentonite mixtures with oil and saline water (NaCl solution) in the frequency range from 50 MHz to 16 GHz at 22 °C. The measured spectra were compared with predictions in terms of the generalized refractive mixing dielectric model (GRMDM), and the respective error was estimated as a check of the model applicability to describe oil-bearing formations. The results may be useful in developing new methods of electromagnetic logging.
