Rio Muni盆地第四纪陆坡地震地貌学

基于Rio Muni盆地深水区1 400 km2的高分辨率三维地震资料,对第四纪陆坡开展地形、地貌单元的构型、成因及演化研究。主要取得3点结论:①依据海底坡度,研究区海底地形具有东西分带,南北分区的特点。②研究区发育水道（顺直水道和弯曲水道）、滑坡（陆坡滑坡和水道壁滑坡）及海底麻坑（孤立麻坑和条带状麻坑）3类典型地貌单元。上陆坡主要发育顺直水道,弯曲水道带发育在中-下陆坡。弯曲水道主要分布在南北2区,而顺直水道在南中北3区均有发育。水道的弯曲程度与海底坡度、重力流供给密切相关。③条带状海底麻坑主要分布在南北2区,孤立麻坑3区均发育。单一麻坑任意方向的剖面均具有“U”形或“V”形特征,其下方的气烟囱具有振幅增强,同相轴下拉特征。条带状麻坑分布在古水道上方或两侧的海底, 其走向剖面具有脊-槽相间地形特征。古水道和浅层气的逸散是形成条带状海底麻坑的主要因素。     

深水浊积水道沉积构型模式及沉积演化:以西非M油田为例

浊积水道是深水油田的重要储层类型,其构型模式制约油田的高效开发.依据岩心、露头、测井及地震资料,采用地震地层学、地震沉积学、沉积岩石学的方法对西非M油田中下陆坡区浊积水道进行了半定量-定量化构型模式研究,并分析了其沉积演化规律.结果表明:研究区3~5级构型单元为单一水道、复合水道、水道体系;单一水道弯曲度与坡度呈负相关,水道内部岩石相充填由底部到顶部、轴部到边缘粒度变细,厚度变薄;复合水道内部单一水道在平面上存在侧向和沿古流向两种迁移类型,剖面上存在水平式、斜列式和摆动式3种叠置样式.M油田O73油组主要发育半限制性和非限制性水道体系,平面上近物源端以发育半限制性水道体系为主,远物源端以发育非限制性水道体系为主;垂向演化规律以非限制性水道体系内部最为典型,从底部到顶部,单一水道下切能力逐渐减弱,侧向加积能力逐渐增强,弯曲度逐渐增大,水道砂体规模逐渐变小.综合分析表明,古地形坡度和物源供给是控制M油田浊积水道沉积类型及演化的主要因素.      

浅述深水水道的形态学特征

目前深水水道的分类方案较多,本文基于深水水道的形态学特征,且聚焦于单一型深水水道,将其划分为顺直型(曲率介于1～1.25)、低弯度S型(曲率介于1.25～1.5)和高弯度S型(曲率1.5)。其中,顺直型水道侵蚀作用最强,往往不发育天然堤沉积,无侧向加积;低弯度S型水道发育天然堤,并具有侧向加积;高弯度S型天然堤及侧向加积最为发育,决口扇常与之伴生。深水水道的曲率是水道形态的直观表现,曲率大小主要受深水地貌即深水地形坡度的影响。在上陆坡区域,地形坡度较大,沉积物能量强,深水水道以顺直型为主。中陆坡区域,随着地形坡度的减缓,水道的弯曲形态也逐渐增加,形成低弯度S型,直至下陆坡,水道演变为高弯度的S型。     

南海西北次海盆深水扇系统沉积演化特征

基于高品质二维地震资料的分析解释,在南海西北次海盆深海平原区识别出大规模深水扇系统。深水扇系统上扇为限制性水道复合体发育区,中扇为多期扇体垂向叠置区,下扇则以水道-朵体沉积为主。琼东南中央峡谷-水道是本区深水扇系统的主要物源通道,沉积物主要来源于红河、北部陆架-陆坡以及中西沙隆起区。本区深水扇系统可基本划分为晚中新世（Ⅰ）、中新世（Ⅱ和Ⅲ）以及第四纪（Ⅳ和Ⅴ）五期。各期深水扇的空间展布受到先存地形和物源供给强度的控制,双峰海山将深水扇系统分隔为南北两部分,早期沉积的扇体改变了后期扇体沉积地形。在丰富物源供给下,水道的冲溢频率较高,各个深水扇之间存在明显的侧向上叠迁移特征。沉积物源和南海北部“三段式”陆坡地形控制着整个南海北部深水扇系统的发育和演化。     

南海西北陆缘深水沉积体系内部构成特征

深水沉积是近年来我国海域油气勘探重点之一,利用高精度二维和三维地震剖面的精细解剖,揭示了南海西北陆缘区深水沉积体系类型及其内部构成特征.这些深水地区除堆积正常深海-半深海泥岩外,还发育大量深水重力流沉积,包括块体流沉积、深水峡谷、沉积物波等大型沉积体.研究表明,南海西北陆缘区发育4类陆坡, 即进积型、滑塌型、水道化型、宽缓渐变型陆坡.不同陆坡类型具有不同地貌形态,发育不同的沉积体类型.大型块体流沉积主要发育于滑塌型和水道化型陆坡,沉积物波主要发育于宽缓渐变型陆坡下部及深海中央峡谷长昌段的周缘地区.由于南海西北陆缘自晚中新世以来形成向东开口的喇叭形变深的地貌形态,导致在盆地中央形成了独特的与陆坡走向一致的深海峡谷体系——中央峡谷.该峡谷的沉积充填不仅包括来自于西部峡谷头部的浊积水道沉积,还包括来自于北部陆坡的块体流沉积,特别是来自于滑塌型陆坡的块体流沉积.中央峡谷体系构成了西北陆缘区多源汇聚的深水沉积物输送系统,同时也是南海西北陆缘深水区重要的油气储层发育层系.      

深水重力流水道沉积研究进展*

深水水道是深水区常见的地貌单元,既是深水重力流沉积物的搬运通道,又是其主要沉积场所。对重力流水道沉积研究已有60余年的历史,成果极为丰富。本文简要回顾了深水水道沉积研究历程及最新研究成果,总结了主要水道类型沉积特征及形成机理。重力流水道可分为复合型水道、垂向加积型水道、迁移型水道和分支小水道。复合型水道形成与重力流演化过程密切相关,其内部发育轴部沉积、碎屑流/滑塌沉积、水道—堤岸沉积体系及迁移型水道。弯曲型迁移水道多为重力流自生环流而成,顺直型迁移水道为等深流与重力流共同作用而成。重力流水道研究的发展方向主要有3个方面,即:(1)积极开展多手段和方法综合研究;(2)深入系统对比研究其形成机制及主控因素;(3)加强储集层分布规律研究。     

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。

南海西北次海盆物源供给模式及油气勘探前景

基于地震资料,从物源供给模式入手,分析南海北部深水区西北次海盆的沉积层序、物源特征及其油气勘探前景。其物源供给具有相对多期多物源体系特征,初始扩张期沉积中心位于盆地北部边缘,北部陆架-陆坡物源体系作用显著;初始热沉降期,沉积中心开始从盆地边缘向中央转移,北部陆架-陆坡、中-西沙隆起区物源体系具有大规模物源供给,在盆地两侧斜坡坡脚对称发育大量具有下超反射特征的裙积扇以及具有杂乱反射特征的块体搬运沉积体;稳定热沉降期,沉积中心转移至盆地中央,北部陆架-陆坡、西沙海槽物源体系作用存在短期明显加强,中-西沙隆起区物源体系逐渐削弱,盆地内发育大规模深水扇及深水水道。与相邻中-高勘探程度区相比,显示出良好的勘探潜力。     

穆尼盆地第四纪深水弯曲水道:沉积构型、成因及沉积过程

深水水道是陆坡沉积的重要组成单元,深水水道储层受到广泛关注。基于高分辨率三维地震资料,利用地震属性、分频技术等研究穆尼盆地第四纪深水弯曲水道的沉积构型、成因及沉积过程,主要取得以下3个方面的成果:(1)建立了深水弯曲水道沉积构型模式。弯曲深水水道由水道和堤岸组成。堤岸脊将堤岸分成内堤岸和外堤岸两部分。水道由底部粗粒滞留沉积、深海泥质披覆沉积以及滑块组成。(2)深水水道早期为低弯曲水道,后期逐渐演化为高弯曲水道。(3)建立了深水弯曲水道沉积的岩相模式,深水弯曲水道由垂向加积水道和侧向迁移水道组成。顺重力流方向,侧向迁移带,内弯带以沉积作用为主,外弯带以侵蚀作用为主。垂向加积带,水道底部粗粒滞留沉积往往表现为垂向加积特征。深水弯曲水道岩相模式的建立对深水浊积水道储层准确预测具有重要的理论指导意义。     

Composite Sand Bodies Architecture of Deep-Water Turbidite Channels in the Niger Delta Basin

Abstract: Deep-water turbidite channels have attracted much attention as a focused issue in petroleum exploration and development. Extensive studies have been performed on the architecture of turbidite channels, and most researches have focused on their geometric shapes, sedimentary processes and controlling factors. However, little attention has been paid to the distribution patterns, distribution laws and quantitative studies of composite sand bodies of turbidite channels. Taken one slope area of the Niger Delta Basin as an example, this study conducted a semi-quantitative to quantitative analysis on architecture of composite sand bodies of turbidite channels based on cores, well logging and seismic surveys. It is shown that turbidite channel systems can be classified as confined and unconfined channel systems. For confined channel systems, the vertical evolution process involves four stages. The sinuosity of a channel system is controlled by slope, with a negative power function relationship between them. When slope gradient reaches four degrees, the channel system is nearly straight. Based on the migration direction and migration amount of single channels within channel complexes, channel composite patterns can be divided into four classes (the lateral composite, en-echelon composite, swing composite and vertical composite) and several subclasses. Various channel composite patterns show specific distribution laws spatially. For meandering channel complexes at the middle-late evolution stage of confined channel systems, the lateral migration amongst single channels shows the features of integrity and succession. The sinuosity of single channels in the late period is greater than that in the early period, and cut-offs may occur locally when the sinuosity is larger than five degrees. This study provides a better understanding for the geological theory of deep-water sedimentary, and also improves exploitation benefits of this type of reservoirs.     

河流辫-曲转换特点与废弃河道模式

通过总结河流变迁规律,明确了辫-曲转换特征,建立了辫-曲过渡型河流的沉积序列;通过分析弯曲度与废弃河道沉积特征的相互关系,提出不同类型河流中存在分叉分流、串沟取直及颈项截直三类废弃河道,并提出三类废弃河道的分类依据,进而建立了相应的沉积模式。通过解剖北京西山军庄二叠系河流相野外露头,分析了辫状河、以曲流河及其过渡型河流的沉积特征与演变特点,识别出该露头中发育的废弃河道,进而明确该露头中产生辫-曲转换的地质因素是不同气候条件下,由于沉积供源的差异导致河道类型的变化。     

海底水道特征及其成因机制:以莺歌海盆地乐东区莺歌海组一段为例

海底水道不但是沉积物搬运过程中从源到汇的关键环节,而且由于其中常常发育可作为良好油气储层的砂岩,近年来已成为深水沉积学研究的热点之一.基于莺歌海盆地乐东区新采集的三维地震资料和钻井资料,在建立了该区莺歌海组一段四级层序地层格架基础上,深入剖析了每个四级层序低位体系域内海底水道发育特征及其影响因素,构建了海底水道演化模式.研究结果表明,该区由于构造稳定、物源供给充足,高频海平面变化得以被沉积物记录下来,因此,可被识别出体系域发育齐全的多个四级层序,且在每个四级层序低位体系域内都发育了大量海底水道,具体包括斜坡水道和轴向水道两种类型,它们总体具有汇聚型特征.海底水道演化过程中受相对海平面变化、构造活动和沉积作用过程影响,呈现出数量逐渐减少、规模逐渐变小的特征.这些被快速沉积速率所记录下来的高频海平面变化及海底水道演化特征,为更好地理解可作为良好油气储层的海底水道的成因机制及其控制因素提供了良好的范例.      

深水水道坡度与曲率的定量关系及控制作用——以西非Rio Muni盆地为例

选取受构造活动影响较弱的Rio Muni盆地近现代深水水道为研究样本,分段测量各水道的底床坡度和曲率,并进行相关性分析。研究认为:深水水道底床坡度与曲率呈幂函数关系,水道曲率随着坡度的增大而减小;但不同坡度条件下曲率变化速率表现出明显的差异——一般随坡度的减小,单位坡度变化范围内,曲率的增幅加大。坡度对水道曲率的控制作用主要体现在水道切谷底形和内部充填结构2个方面,其中对后者的影响作用最为显著。但实质上,坡度是通过对水道内部沉积物能量的控制,进而影响了其侵蚀及充填能力,最终使水道平面形态和内部充填结构发生变化。     

Controls on Holocene deep‐water sedimentation in the northern Gioia Basin,Tyrrhenian Sea

The northern Gioia Basin of the south‐east Tyrrhenian Sea is a slope basin, ～ 20 km wide and ～ 50 km long, with a bathymetry of ≤ 1300 m, bounded by the Calabro‐Sicilian landmass and the Aeolian Island Arc. Coarse sediment is supplied from the Calabrian margin, where the shelf is very narrow to non‐existent, whereas the wider shelf on the Sicilian margin prevents supply by storing river‐fed sediments. The basin is dominated by the Gioia–Mesima canyon/channel system paralleled by a tongue‐shaped depositional lobe. Multibeam bathymetric surveys, sea floor reflectivity data and airgun seismic profiles reveal the recent evolution of the submarine system. Slope canyons and basin‐floor levéed channels formed where major rivers built deltas at the shelfless Calabrian margin and strong hyperpycnal flows predominated. The channels are a few hundred metres wide and a few tens of metres deep, with a downslope change from a straight to meandering pattern where the slope gradient decreases from 3·2% to 1·7%. The Mesima Channel has its lower segment abandoned because of avulsion and crevasse‐splay formation at an upslope bend. The adjacent Gioia Channel has had its upper segment straightened and lower segment entrenched because of erosional deepening of the Stromboli Valley into which it debouches and which acts as the local base level. Overbank features include levées, coalescent splays and ‘yazoo’ channels; their nature and surface characteristics depend upon the magnitude and sediment grain‐size of spill‐over flows. On an adjoining narrow shelf sliver of the Calabrian margin, in contrast, the coalescing plumes of sediment suspension supplied by an array of smaller coastal streams were apparently spilling over the shelf edge, scouring a funnel‐shaped bypass depression with chutes and forming an elongate, non‐channellized depositional lobe at the slope base. The study demonstrates the impact of sediment source type, shelf width, basin‐floor gradient and base‐level change on the style of deep‐water sedimentation.     

高弯度曲流河砂体规模定量表征研究

曲流河砂体储层是重要的陆相碎屑岩储层类型,采用“将今论古”的思路,以一系列现代高弯度曲流河的基础数据分级构建定量知识库,实现对地下砂体规模的定量表征。从曲流河成因和形态方面对定量表征开展可行性分析,在相对平坦的地形条件下,当河流通过增加河道弯度和加长流路来减小河道坡降比以趋于输沙平衡且做功最少,同时堤岸主要由细粒物质组成时,河型向曲流河转化,河道平面几何形态呈正弦派生曲线,在演化过程中河道形态和砂体规模保持良好的规律性;结合储层构型理论的分级表征思路,基于砂体规模的不确定性,通过现代沉积数据选取恰当的置信水平,分级构建多组经验公式,形成高弯度曲流河定量知识库;压实减孔量是沉积物埋藏后体积减小的主要因素,通过去压实校正,建立现代沉积与地下砂体的定量联系,对地下曲流河砂体规模进行原始沉积状态下的定量表征。经实际资料验证,结果客观准确。     

Origin,evolution and anatomy of silt‐prone submarine external levées

Submarine external levées are constructional features that develop outside slope channel systems, and are a volumetrically significant component of continental margins. However, detailed observations of their process sedimentology and depositional architecture are rare. Extensive exposures of external levées at multiple stratigraphic intervals and well‐constrained palaeogeographic positions in the Fort Brown Formation, Karoo Basin, South Africa, have been calibrated with research boreholes. This integrated data set permits their origin, evolution and anatomy to be considered, including high‐resolution analysis of sedimentary facies distribution and characterization of depositional sub‐environments. An idealized model of the stratigraphic evolution and depositional architecture of external levées is presented, and variations can be attributed to allogenic (for example, sediment supply) and autogenic (for example, channel migration) factors. Initiation of external levée construction is commonly marked by deposition of a basal sand‐rich facies with sedimentary structures indicating rapid deposition from unconfined flows. These deposits are interpreted as frontal lobes. Propagation of the parent channel, and resultant flow confinement, lead to partial erosion of the frontal lobe and development of constructional relief (levées) by flow overspill and flow stripping. Overall fining‐upwards and thinning‐upwards profiles reflect increased flow confinement and/or waning flow magnitude through time. Identification of a hierarchy of levée elements is not possible due to the absence of internal bounding surfaces or sharp facies changes. The down‐slope taper in levée height and increasing channel sinuosity results in increasing numbers of crevasse lobe deposits, and is reflected by the increased occurrences of channel avulsion events down‐dip. External levées from the Fort Brown Formation are silt‐rich; however their stratigraphic evolution and the distribution of many components (such as sediment waves and crevasse lobe) share commonalities with mud‐rich external levées. This unique integrated data set has permitted the first high‐resolution characterization of external submarine levée systems.
