砂岩储层自生伊利石40Ar-39Ar定年技术及油气成藏年龄探讨

油气成藏年龄是石油地质学和同位素年代学共同面临的科学难题之一。本文探讨砂岩储层自生伊利石40Ar-39Ar阶段加热技术获得油气成藏年龄的可能性。样品采自南海珠江口盆地第三纪珠海组砂岩储层,采用冷冻加热循环技术缓慢碎裂样品,以减少碎屑长石混入量。释出气体首先经过专门研制的纯化装置,有效地除弃有机杂质气体,然后经过2个NP10Zr/Al泵进一步纯化。06ZJ26I伊利石40Ar-39Ar激光阶段加热分析获得了阶梯状上升的年龄谱。开始3个最低激光能量阶段加权平均年龄(12.1±2.2)Ma(2σ)解释为自生伊利石的最小年龄,可能代表了油气成藏的最大年龄;而较高激光能量阶段坪年龄(98.0±0.9)Ma则代表了砂岩中陆源碎屑长石的年龄。与传统K-Ar法相比,40Ar-39Ar法可以揭示伊利石样品更多的年代学信息。

为了确定天然气藏的成藏期,进行了自生伊利石的^40Ar／^39Ar法同位素定年实验．实验重点解决了自生伊利石的^40Ar／^39Ar法定年的几个技术难题：第一,粘土矿物的提纯,避免伊利石以外的含K矿物混入;第二,自生伊利石与碎屑伊利石的分离;第三,克服核反冲造成的Ar原子丢失．利用冷冻一加热循环碎样技术获得高纯度的粘土矿物;通过阶段加热得到的年龄谱可以区分自生伊利石与碎屑伊利石;利用“显微包裹”技术有效克服了核照射反冲问题．对鄂尔多斯盆地北部苏里格气田研究发现。二叠系储层中的伊利石有2种年龄图谱：一种只有自生伊利石的坪年龄;另一种图谱既有自生伊利石的坪年龄,也有碎屑伊利石的年龄,形成二阶式的图谱．通过自生伊利石的形成时间推断,天然气的最早充注时间晚于169～189Ma．实验的结果表明,冷冻加热循环碎样技术可以有效地避免伊利石以外的含K矿物混入．是获得高纯度粘土矿物的关键技术;自生伊利石^40Ar／^39Ar法定年技术可以用于确定天然气藏的成藏期.     

鄂尔多斯盆地东北部二叠系油气成藏的时间和期次

提要：油气成藏年代学是多旋回叠合盆地油气成藏动力学研究的热点问题。运用钻井岩心样品的自生伊利石同位素定年和流体包裹体间接定年方法,探讨分析了鄂尔多斯盆地东北部二叠系多期次油气成藏的时间和期次。含油气砂岩自生伊利石年龄以较宽的时间域分布在178~108 Ma,测年数据的统计分布特征指示二叠系原生油气成藏时间主要集中在175~155 Ma和145~115 Ma两组主值年龄区间,相应的峰值年龄为165 Ma和130 Ma。流体包裹体测温数据的统计分析与其宿主砂岩磷灰石裂变径迹热史模拟路径的投影关系表明,二叠系不同层段共同经历了与90~78 ℃和125~118 ℃两组统计峰温相应的162~153 Ma和140~128 Ma两期原生油气成藏事件,其中的上二叠统则还经历了统计峰温接近98 ℃、峰值年龄接近30 Ma的一期次生油气成藏事件。由此认为,鄂尔多斯盆地东北部二叠系不同层段在中生代早—中期的多旋回沉降增温过程至少经历了165~153 Ma和140~128 Ma的两期原生油气成藏作用,上二叠统则在晚白垩世以来盆地后期抬升改造阶段的构造动热转换过程经历了接近30 Ma的一期次生油气成藏作用。     

利用自生伊利石激光加热~(40)Ar-~(39)Ar定年技术探讨惠州凹陷新近系油气充注时间

油气成藏年代学是新兴的学科发展方向。烃类充注之后,砂岩储层中自生伊利石停止生长,故可利用自生伊利石的年龄来推断储集层中油气藏形成的最老年龄。砂岩样品中存在的有机质在质谱仪离子源中产生的覆盖40Ar峰的有机碎片离子m/e36-m/e40将导致错误的同位素分析和年龄谱结果。经预处理后的伊利石样品加热后在质谱仪离子源中确实产生了有机碎片离子m/e36-m/e44,为获得可靠的分析结果,必须完全清除有机杂质气体。在攻克了有机杂质气体纯化技术之后,笔者开展了珠江口盆地惠州凹陷内3个富油气二级构造带油气藏砂岩自生伊利石40Ar-39Ar法定年研究,采取样品清洗、循环冷冻—加热法破碎样品、经苯-甲醇混合试剂洗油、采用离心机分离粘土矿物。自生伊利石激光阶段加热40Ar-39Ar定年最初低温阶段综合年龄结果表明,惠州凹陷珠海组和珠江组自生伊利石加权平均年龄分别为(12.1±1.1)Ma和(9.9±1.2)Ma,惠州凹陷新近系油气成藏关键时间为10Ma左右。结合该区断裂发育史、油气成藏组合和流体包裹体均一化温度等资料进一步分析认为,中中新世末—晚中新世末的晚期断层活化加强了新近系油气的成藏。     

豫西济源盆地中三叠世-中侏罗世碎屑锆石年代学及其对秦岭造山带造山过程的启示

豫西济源盆地位于秦岭造山带北部, 是三叠纪-侏罗纪秦岭造山带的同造山盆地.对济源盆地中三叠世-中侏罗世6个组的碎屑锆石样品进行了LA-ICP-MS的U-Pb年龄分析.结果表明, 碎屑锆石年龄主要分布于以下区间: 2.9~1.7 Ga、1.6~1.0 Ga、1.0~0.8 Ga、800~650 Ma、520~380 Ma、350~245 Ma和~220 Ma, 其中除了2.9~1.7 Ga的碎屑锆石主要来自于华北克拉通基底外, 其他几个年龄段的锆石则主要来自于秦岭造山带, 并且显示出随着地层年龄的逐渐变新, 碎屑锆石年龄有逐渐变老的趋势.在中三叠世-晚三叠世早期样品中, 主要年龄是350~245 Ma, 在晚三叠世晚期-中侏罗世早期样品中, 1.6~1.0 Ga、1.0~0.8 Ga、800~650 Ma和520~380 Ma则逐渐增多, 到了中侏罗世晚期, 1.6~1.0 Ga和520~380 Ma依然存在于样品中, 并且还发现了~220 Ma年龄.碎屑锆石年龄结构指示了秦岭造山带印支期经历了由年轻的盖层到较老的基底的去顶过程.并与合肥、黄石盆地的碎屑锆石数据对比发现, 早侏罗世时, 去顶强度东强西弱; 东部高压-超高压变质岩或晚三叠世岩体可能暴露于早侏罗世, 而西部则到了中侏罗世.      

鄂尔多斯盆地志留—泥盆纪和侏罗纪热事件—伊利石K—Ar年龄证据

利用伊利石K-Ar测年法,结合伊利石结晶度分析,首次在鄂尔多斯盆地确定出两期不同时代热事件。晚三叠世和晚二叠世<0.2μm粒级的岩石样品的K-Ar年龄(159-173Ma)反映了与燕山运动有关的伊利石化年龄,指示有一期中侏罗世的热事件;其<2μm粒级的K-Ar年龄(210-308Ma)则被解释为碎屑物和自生伊利石的混合年龄。中寒武世<0.2μm和<2μm粒级的岩石样品K-Ar年龄(368Ma与419Ma)对应于北秦岭加里东褶皱带变质作用与最早期花岗岩侵入的时代(380-420Ma),表明在志留-泥盆纪发生了一期热事件。     

扬子陆块三峡地区莲沱组砂岩中碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄、Hf同位素组成及其地质意义

对扬子陆块三峡地区黄牛岩剖面莲沱组顶部砂岩中的120颗碎屑锆石进行了U-Pb定年和Lu-Hf同位素分析.结果显示,黄牛岩剖面莲沱组中碎屑锆石的年龄谱具有~880~800 Ma、~2 000 Ma、~2 500 Ma及~2 700 Ma的峰值,其中最年轻的碎屑锆石年龄为724±8 Ma.结合前人对该地区莲沱组顶部凝灰岩开展的年代学工作,将莲沱组顶部砂岩沉积时代限定为724~714 Ma.莲沱组砂岩沉积时间与其中最年轻的碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄接近,反映了其源区地壳物质的快速再循环.碎屑锆石Hf同位素两阶段模式年龄(T_DM2)集中在~3.7~3.1 Ga、~2.5~2.0 Ga和~1.3~1.0 Ga,反映其物源区存在古-中太古代、古元古代以及中元古代末期的初生地壳生长.对比近年来三峡地区不同剖面莲沱组砂岩中已报道的碎屑锆石年龄和Hf同位素数据,黄牛岩剖面的莲沱组碎屑锆石年龄和Hf同位素组成与之以北的王丰岗剖面均存在明显差异,说明莲沱组沉积期两者的陆源物质供给区有较大差别.      

河西走廊带与澳大利亚的亲缘性——来自牛首山中寒武统碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄和Hf同位素的证据

在河西走廊带东端牛首山地区中寒武统的沉积岩中开展碎屑锆石原位LA-ICP-MS U-Pb定年和Hf同位素研究。结果表明,所采样品U-Pb年龄谱存在3个峰值：0.6~0.8Ga（峰值为669Ma）、1.0~1.3Ga（峰值为1173Ma）、1.6~1.8Ga（峰值为1710Ma）,明显区别于河西走廊带寒武系之上地层中的碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄谱。碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄谱和Hf同位素特征表明,典型的格林威尔期的物质和峰值为1710Ma的碎屑物质可能源于澳大利亚西南部,与现有的古生物学和古地磁学研究结果相吻合;中奥陶世随着北祁连洋的进一步扩张及其古地理位置的变化,碎屑物质的源区也随之变化,河西走廊带开始出现0.8~1.0Ga晋宁期的碎屑物质;晚奥陶世后由于祁连山的造山隆起、剥蚀、风化,河西走廊带记录了该地区0.4~0.5Ga的碎屑物质。

Silurian-Devonian and Jurassic Thermal Events in the Ordos Basin, China: Indications from K-Ar Dating on Illites

In the Ordos basin, two distinct thermal events of different ages have been identified for the first time by means of K-Ar dating combined with illite crystallinity analysis. For the Late Triassic and Late Permian samples, the K-Ar ages of the < 0.2μm fractions (159-173 Ma) reflect an illitization age related to the Yanshanian movement and indicate a short thermal event in the Middle Jurassic; the K-Ar ages of the <2 μm fractions (210-308 Ma) are interpreted as mixed ages of detrital material and authigenic illites. The K-Ar ages of both < 0.2μm and < 2μm fractions of a Middle Cambrian sample (368 Ma and 419 Ma) correspond to the ages of the metamorphism and earliest granite intrusion in the northern Caledonian Qinling fold zone (380-420 Ma) and show a thermal event during Silurian-Devonian time.

K-Ar Dating of Fault Gouges from the Red River Fault Zone of Vietnam

Constraining the timing of fault zone formation is fundamentally important in terms of geotectonics to understand structural evolution and brittle fault processes.This paper presents the first authigenic illite K-Ar age data from fault gouge samples collected from the Red River Shear Zone at Lao Cai province,Vietnam.The fault gouge samples were separated into three grain-size fractions(0.1 μm,0.1-0.4 μm and 0.4-1.0 μm).The results show that the K-Ar age values decrease from coarser to finer grain fractions(24.1 to 19.2 Ma),suggesting enrichment in finer fraction of morerecently grown authigenic illites.The timing of the fault movement are the lower intercept ages at 0%detrital illite(19.2 ± 0.92 Ma and 19.4 ± 0.49 Ma).In combination with previous geochronological data,this result indicates that the metamorphism of the Day Nui Con Voi(DNCV) metamorphic complex took place before ca.26.8 Ma.At about 26.8 Ma-25 Ma,the fault strongly acted to cause the rapid exhumation of the rocks along the Red River-Ailoa Shan Fault Zone(RR-ASFZ).During brittle deformation,the DNCV slowly uplifted,implying weak movement of the fault.This brittle deformation might have lasted for ca.5 Ma.     

Complete 40Ar resetting in an ultracataclasite by reactivation of a fossil seismogenic fault along the subducting plate interface in the Mugi Mélange of the Shimanto accretionary complex,southwest Japan

We used the K–Ar ages of clay-sized mineral grains to investigate the timing of activity on the Minami-Awa Fault, which is a fossil seismogenic fault along a subducting plate interface separating the coherent strata of the Shimanto accretionary complex to the north from the tectonic mélange to the south. The K–Ar ages from the matrix shale of the mélange range from 85 to 48 Ma and decrease with decreasing amount of detrital mica, indicating that they record a mixture of authigenic illite related to burial diagenesis and detrital mica. In contrast, the K–Ar ages of an ultracataclasite within the fault core are significantly younger, ranging from 29 to 23 Ma, and are unrelated to grain size and amount of detrital mica. This indicates that s Ar diffused completely from the ultracataclasite between 29 and 23 Ma, which postdates the formation of authigenic illite by at least several million years. The diffusion of ⁴⁰Ar in the ultracataclasite was probably caused by frictional heating or high-temperature fluid migration that occurred when the fault was reactivated. The results indicate that seismogenic faults that separate tectonic mélange from coherent strata in accretionary complexes may slip, not only during accretion, but also long after accretion.     

K–Ar dating of authigenic minerals in siliciclastic sequences: an example from the south Sanfranciscana Basin (Western Minas Gerais,Brazil)

K–Ar dating was applied on authigenic potassic minerals which are abundant in sandstones from the south of the Sanfranciscana Basin, Western Minas Gerais State, central Brazil. The Quintinos Member fluvial sandstones (Três Barras Formation, Areado Group) contain significant amounts of authigenic K‐feldspar as microcrystals of adularia and sanidine habits. The ages of these microcrystals cluster into three groups: 106.1 ± 2.2, 89.9 ± 1.9 and 88.8 ± 1.8 Ma (from Albian to Coniacian). The older age of 106.1 ± 2.2 Ma was obtained from the coarse fraction analysed (10–20 µm) that can contain a mixture of detrital potassic minerals (K‐feldspar, muscovite, biotite and illite) and different authigenesis of K‐feldspar (overgrowths and microcrystals). Thus, only the younger ages were interpreted as precipitation of K‐feldspar microcrystals during the Late Cretaceous into the Quintinos Member sandstones. Moreover, these ages can document the formation of microcrystals within a few million years after deposition of the sandstones. The ages of authigenic illite from the Capacete Formation epiclastic sandstones (Mata da Corda Group) range from 88.5 ± 1.9 to 71.5 ± 1.9 Ma (Coniacian–Campanian). These results suggest the timing of the illitization event in these sandstones as well as a synchrony with K‐feldspar authigenesis in the Quintinos Member sandstones. These results are well constrained and are in agreement with stratigraphic, biostratigraphic and radiometric ages previously reported for the Sanfranciscana Basin.

SHRIMP U–Pb ages of diagenetic and hydrothermal xenotime from the Archaean Witwatersrand Supergroup of South Africa

SHRIMP dating of xenotime overgrowths on detrital zircon grains can constrain maximum durations since diagenesis and therefore provide minimum dates of sediment deposition. Thus, xenotime dating has significant economic application to Precambrian sediment-hosted ore deposits, such as Witwatersrand Au–U, for which there are no precise depositional ages. The growth history of xenotime in the Witwatersrand Supergroup is texturally complex, with several phases evident. The oldest authigenic xenotime ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁶Pb age obtained in sandstone underlying the Vaal Reef is 2764 ± 5 Myr (1 σ), and most likely represents a mixture of diagenetic and hydrothermal growth. Nevertheless, this represents the oldest authigenic mineral age yet recorded in the sequence and provides a minimum age of deposition. Other xenotime data record a spread of ages that correspond to numerous post-diagenetic thermotectonic events (including a Ventersdorp event at ≈ 2720 Ma) up to the ≈2020 Ma Vredefort event.     

Evaluation of 40Ar/39Ar Geochronology of Authigenic Illites in Determining Hydrocarbon Charge Timing: A Case Study from the Silurian Bituminous Sandstone Reservoirs,Tarim Basin,China

The Silurian bituminous sandstones(SBS) in the Tarim Basin, China are important basinwide reservoirs with an estimated area of approximately 249000 km2. We investigated the ages of authigenic illites in the SBS reservoirs and constrained their formation timing by using the ~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar step wise heating method. The age spectra, ~(39)Ar recoil loss and their controlling factors were investigated systematically. The ~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar ages were compared with the conventional K/Ar ages of identical clay fractions. The clay in the SBS reservoirs is dominated by orderly mixed-layer illite/smectite(I/S) with 5%–30% smectite layers. The I/S minerals morphology comprises primarily honeycomb, short filamentous and curved-lath particles, characteristic of authigenic illites. The unencapsulated ~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar total gas ages(UTGA) of the authigenic illites range from 188.56 ± 6.20 Ma to 491.86 ± 27.68 Ma, which are 7% to 103% older than the corresponding K/Ar ages of 124.87 ± 1.11 Ma to 383.45 ± 2.80 Ma, respectively. The K-Ar ages indicate multistage accumulations with distinct distribution patterns in the Tarim Basin: older(late Caledonian-early Hercynian) around the basin margin, younger(late Hercynian) in the basin centre, and the youngest(middle to late Yanshanian) in the Ha-6 well-block, central area of the North Uplift. The age difference is believed to have been caused by the ~(39)Ar recoil loss during the irradiation process. Compared with the K/Ar ages, the estimated ~(39)Ar recoil losses in this study are in the range from 7% to 51%. The ~(39)Ar recoil loss appears to increase not only with the decreasing particle sizes of the I/S, but also with increasing percentage of smectite layers(IR) of the I/S, and smectite layer content(SLC) of the samples. We conclude that due to significant ~(39)Ar recoil losses, UTGA may not offer any meaningful geological ages of the authigenic illite formation in the SBS and thus can not be used to represent the hydrocarbon charge timing. ~(39)Ar recoil losses during ~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar dating can not be neglected when dating fine authigenic illite, especially when the ordered mixed-layer I/S containing small amount of smectite layers(IR30%) in the reservoir formations. Compared with the unencapsulated Ar-Ar method, the conventional K-Ar method is less complicated, more accurate and reliable in dating authigenic illites in petroleum reservoirs.
