Sequence architecture and carbonate platform configuration (Late Cenomanian–Santonian), Sinai, Egypt

Abstract Relative sea‐level changes on the mixed carbonate–siliciclastic platform of Sinai are manifested in shifts of distinct facies belts (deep‐water facies, high‐energy subtidal, shallow subtidal, lagoon, shallow shoreface siliciclastics, supratidal) and are interpreted in terms of sequence stratigraphy. Eight sedimentary sequences are recognized for the Upper Cenomanian to Santonian. Their correlation along a north–south transect reveals distinct changes in lithofacies and progradation/retrogradation patterns within the individual systems tracts. The number and stratigraphy of the sequence boundaries of Sinai correlate well with those from adjacent areas. Patterns of increased subsidence are documented for the Central Sinai Basin since the Late Cenomanian by increased thickness of the stratal packages (post‐CeSin 7 HST, post‐TuSin 1 LST and HST, post‐TuSin 2 LST) and are balanced by varying accumulation rates. Based on new sedimentological and biostratigraphic data, large‐scale palaeogeographic maps and cross‐sections show the: (1) temporal and spatial evolution of the Central Sinai Basin, e.g. its latest Cenomanian initial formation, Lower Turonian deep‐water facies, Middle Turonian to Coniacian synsedimentary subsidence; (2) drowning of the Cenomanian platform coinciding with the latest Cenomanian to Early Turonian relative sea‐level rise; (3) re‐establishment of the platform in Middle–Late Turonian times; and (4) a Coniacian basin and swell morphology.     

大庆长垣北部葡萄花上部油层高分辨率层序地层划分

应用高分辨率层序地层学以及沉积学相关理论,依据67口井的岩芯和8000口井的测井资料,将松辽盆地大庆长垣北部喇萨杏地区的葡萄花油组上部油层（PI油层）划分为1个受湖泛面限定的完整中期基准面旋回,并在其内部划分出10~14个短期基准面旋回,指出了PI油层在南北向上存在厚度以及短期旋回个数的差异。通过平行及垂直物源方向上的密井剖面分析并结合前人认识以及构造背景,认为葡I油层存在着三种不同的地层叠覆模式:低可容空间下的主动进积薄层叠覆模式;极低可容空间下的强迫进积过路沉积模式;侵蚀进积的叠合模式。该认知对于指导喇萨杏地区甚至整个长垣地区的高精度地层对比具有指导意义。     

Palaeoenvironmental Reconstruction of the Early to Middle Miocene Sequence in West Central Sinai,Egypt, as Revealed from Fossil Diatoms

A detailed analysis of the diatoms from the sedimentary sequence exposed in Abu Qada basin, west central Sinai, was used to determine the palaeoenvironmental changes during the Lower to Middle Miocene. A total of 85 diatom species and varieties belonging to 37 genera were identified from 154 samples collected throughout the stratigraphic succession. The lithological characters of the studied samples varied between sandstone, silty interbeds, sandy shales, shales, and terminated with anhydrite and limestones. These rock units are included in two lithostratigraphic formations (Rudies and Kareem), which are separated by a marked unconformity. The distribution and preservation of fossil diatoms in the sedimentary record are examined with the aim of outlining the temporal and spatial variation in the composition of the diatom assemblages, in order to estimate the changes in depositional environments during the Lower to Middle Miocene. The distributional pattern of the recorded diatom taxa distinguished four diatom eco-zones. The environment of each eco-zone is deduced and a proposed paleobathymetric change and depositional history of the Miocene sediments in the studied area are given.     

乌尔逊凹陷北部下白垩统层序地层发育特征

陆相断陷盆地层序的形成和发育主要受控于幕式构造活动,边界断裂的活动强度和基底的沉降速度是形成不同类型层序的主要原因。通过层序地层学分析,乌尔逊凹陷北部下白垩统地层可划分出4个三级层序。这些层序由于形成时所经历的构造背景不同,因此形成的层序特征也不同,层序内部体系域的构成和规模也不同。在充分利用钻井、测井、地震资料的基础上建立了乌北地区层序地层充填模式。并指出油气在这些层序和体系域类型中的赋集规律,认为快速断坳层序和同生断坳层序能形成最有利的生储盖组合。

内蒙古查干凹陷下白垩统层序地层格架与沉积体系分布

充分利用岩性组合、岩心、测井、地球化学及古生物等响应,结合构造演化及地震反射特征,在查干凹陷下白垩统识别出7个三级层序界面,将其划分为6个三级层序和16个体系域。层序展布早期具有北薄南厚、东薄西厚的特征,晚期沉积中心北移,呈西厚东薄、北厚南薄的格局。在层序格架内,早期由于毛敦次凸的分割作用,凹陷东西两侧的沉积格局存在差异,总体以水下扇、扇三角洲和辫状河三角洲沉积为主;晚期毛敦次凸逐渐接受沉积,沉积了一套冲积平原、泛滥平原及河流相沉积。下白垩统由下而上发育3套生储盖组合,下部SQ1的低位体系域储层与水进域的泥岩盖层形成自生自储的生储盖组合;中部生储盖组合以SQ2的高位域及SQ3的低位域储层为主;上部组合储层主要为SQ4—SQ6碎屑岩及火山岩储层。     

Lower Jurassic Sequence Stratigraphy and Sedimentary Facies on the North Slope of Mount Qomolangma

The Lower Jurassic is subdivided in ascending order into the Wulong, Kangdui and Yongjia Formations on the north slope of Mount Qomolangma, with a total thickness of 1362 m. They are thought to have been deposited respectively in the environments of the carbonate ramp fault-bounded basins and carbonate platform, with six sedimentary facies and six sub-facies. During the Early Jurassic, the Qomolangma area experienced strong faulting and subsidence, and was of a matured rift basin. The Lower Jurassic consists of eleven 3rd-order sequences, which can be grouped into three 2nd-order sequences and form a large transgressive-regressive cycle. The 3rd-order sequences and the corresponding sea-level changes recognized in the area can be correlated quite well with those set up in the western Tethys, and may have been caused by the eustatic fluctuations, while the 2nd-order sequences seem to be more closely related to the basement subsidence and the variation in sedimentary influx, indicating the evolution of th     

三江北段生达残留弧后盆地晚三叠世层序地层与演化

以陆壳为基底的生达残留后盆地被厚度大于５ ０００ ｍ 的晚三叠世沉积岩层所充填。在那里堆积着主要由半深海－ 深海相的陆源、内源与火山源浊积岩沉积,以及特色的弧后拉张产生的碱性系列玄武岩与海底喷流热水沉积等构成的活动边缘沉积物。以露头剖面为基础,识别出Ⅰ类与Ⅱ类层序界面,划分出２ 个Ⅰ类和１ 个Ⅱ类层序。层序形成的主控因素为构造火山作用、沉积物补给与海平面变化,对盆地的演化起到了重要的作用。

综合利用沉积学、岩石矿物学、碳同位素地球化学等分析手段,对研究区中-上寒武统层序地层学特征进行了分析。结果表明:中-上寒武统可以划归为1个二级层序和5个三级层序,在二级层序时限范围内,浅水相区经历了由局限台地潮坪→开阔台地→局限台地潮坪的沉积演化,斜坡过渡带则经历了由台地边缘→前缘缓斜坡→台地边缘的演化,研究区东南部的深水相区则由深陆棚→盆地→浅水陆棚组成。三级层序海侵体系域中沉积的颗粒白云岩、叠层石礁以及晚期高水位体系域中形成的溶孔白云岩、岩溶角砾白云岩的层位具有重要的油气勘探潜力,是值得关注和研究的领域。

尼日尔三角洲深水区层序地层及地震相研究

中新世至上新世,研究区发育深海平原和陆坡坡脚沉积。缺少反映海平面变化的上超特征和削截现象,很难利用地震反射终止类型（上超、顶超、削截）进行层序界面识别。文中利用深水区沉积旋回的地震相特征差异进行层序界面识别,并建立了研究区层序演化模式:低位体系域发育重力流沉积（块状搬运复合体、浊积扇）———海侵高位体系域深海泥质发育。以层序为格架进行地震相和沉积相在时间和空间分布特征分析。研究区识别出两类叠加地 震相样式:杂乱反射块状搬运复合体———丘形水道—堤岸复合体（浊积扇）———平行反射深海泥质沉积;丘形水道—堤岸复合体（浊积扇）———平行反射深海泥质沉积。     

Maastrichtian carbon cycle changes and planktonic foraminiferal bioevents at Gebel Matulla,west-central Sinai,Egypt

Comparison between the planktonic foraminiferal bioevents from different palaeolatitudes suggests that the biostratigraphic criteria used to identify the Maastrichtian stage boundaries are problematic. A new high-resolution calibration of planktonic foraminiferal biostratigraphic, carbon-isotope, and sequence-stratigraphic criteria has been recorded for the first time from the Maastrichtian Sudr Formation at Gebel Matulla, west-central Sinai. The sedimentary successions allow the identification of prominent long-term carbon isotope events in the Maastrichtian, namely the negative excursion of the Campanian–Maastrichtian Boundary Event (CMBE), the positive excursion of the mid-Maastrichtian Event (MME), and the decline towards the Cretaceous-Palaeogene transition (KPgE). Termination of these well known δ¹³C events is associated with unconformities, created by eustatic sea-level changes, although the long duration argues for superimposed local tectonic control.     

Geochemistry and mineral chemistry of Pan-African amphibolites of South Sinai,Egypt

In the Wadi Feiran area, amphibolites occur as inclusions, bands, linear bodies of variable thickness and irregular lenses in para-geneisses. Chemical evidence indicates that these amphibolites display an igneous origin and were derived from magma essentially of tholelitic rather than alkaline composition; transitional in character between continental and island-arc. The chemistry of amphiboles, related to pressure and temperature conditions of meta-morphism, showed that they were formed under low pressure and high temperature conditions.     

上扬子区志留纪层序地层特征

在稳定的上扬子地区,对志留系（439～409Ma）进行了露头层序地层研究,建立了2个二级层序（不完整）和9个三级层序（OS1- OS9）,每个三级层序的时限约3.3Ma, OS1由龙马溪组和香树园组构成。雷家屯组包括2个三级层序。OS4由马脚冲组和溶溪组构成。秀山组和回星哨组构成OS5和OS6层序。OS7位于关底组下部。由关底组上部和妙高组下部组成OS8。OS9由妙高组上部和玉龙寺组构成。OS1和OS7为Ⅰ型层序,其余为Ⅱ型层序。三级层序均发育TST和HST,而缺乏LST和SMST。层序的发育与全球海平面变化有密切关系。加里东运动造成的扬子地台持续上升及差异升降对二级层序的组成具有明显的影响。     

徐家围子断陷白垩系营城组四段层序地层及沉积相

松辽盆地徐家围子断陷白垩系营城组砂砾岩是深层天然气勘探的主要目标层位.营城组四段可以划分出2个三级层序,即营四下层序和营四上层序.营四下层序沉积期断陷深度大、分布范围小、分割性强,形成了相互独立的火山断陷湖,边界发育多个物源,主要发育冲积扇、扇三角洲以及泛滥平原3种沉积相;营四上层序沉积期为一个统一的大断陷,主物源为北东物源,沉积相的发育具有较强的分带性.利用层序地层学方法建立了等时地层层序格架,认为营四段沉积前的构造格局控制了湖盆不同层序沉积相的展布,徐家围子断陷周缘发育一系列沟谷,并沿轴向凸起东侧相继发育了辫状河-辫状三角洲、扇三角洲以及河流三角洲沉积体系.     

华南上泥盆统和下石炭统层序地层学

本文把华南法门阶上部和杜内阶分为４个层序，自下而上依次命名为ＳＱ０、ＳＱ１、ＳＱ２和ＳＱ３。其中ＳＱ０属斯图年阶（Ｓｔｒｕｎｉａｎ）（泥盆系最顶部），其余３个层序归杜内阶。这４个层序可以与欧美等地同期的层序进行对比，表明当时的海平面升降变化及其由此而产生的沉积层序具有全球的一致性。层序地层学、生物地层学和事件地层学综合研究表明，华南浅海相区与Ｓｉｐｈｏｎｏｄｅｌａｐｒａｅｓｕｌｃａｔａ－Ｓ．ｓｕｌｃａｔａ界线一致的泥盆－石炭系界线不仅高于Ｃｙｓｔｏｐｈｒｅｎｔｉｓ带顶界，而且还应高于引起Ｃｙｓｔｏｐｈｒｅｎｔｉｓ绝灭的海退事件层的顶界。因此建议以Ｃｙｓｔｏｐｈｒｅｎｔｉｓ－Ｐｓｅｕｄｏｕｒａｌｉｎａ间隔带中最明显的一个海进面，即ＳＱ１的海进体系域的底界作为华南浅海相区泥盆－石炭系界线。这条界线与泥盆－石炭纪之交海退事件层的顶界正好一致，大致相当于Ｐｓｅｕｄｏｕｒａｌｉｎａ组合带底部。
