四川盆地磨溪地区龙王庙组储层沥青的地球化学特征及其意义

根据储层中沥青的产状、元素组成、固体碳同位素、饱和烃色谱、生物标志化合物以及芳烃色谱-质谱等,对磨溪地区龙王庙组储层固体沥青的地球化学特征、成因及来源进行了剖析。研究结果表明,其总体上具有低H/C原子比值、高反射率的特征,是古油藏原油经裂解形成的残留物。储层沥青的正构烷烃分布较为完整,碳数在C₁₆-C₃₁范围,没有受到明显的生物降解作用。其可能的烃源岩发育于还原环境,有机质来源于低等水生生物,为海相泥页岩。固体沥青碳同位素值介于-33.1‰~-35.4‰之间,与下寒武统烃源岩干酪根碳同位素具有很好的可比性,同时,其生物标志化合物组成也与下寒武统烃源岩相似,表明其烃源来自于下寒武统筇竹寺组。     

湘西黔东地区铅锌矿床与古油藏关系初探

本文以湖南花垣铅锌矿床和贵州牛角塘铅锌矿床为例,探讨了湘西黔东地区铅锌矿与古油藏的关系。二者在空间分布上关系密切,存在"共生"和"上油下矿"两种关系,下寒武统清虚洞组既是铅锌矿重要的赋矿层位也是古油藏储集层之一;铅锌矿源层可能为新元古代基底岩系或下寒武统石牌组碎屑岩,古油藏烃源岩主要为下寒武统牛蹄塘组。古油藏中的油田卤水萃取了石牌组碎屑岩中的铅锌等成矿物质,形成成矿流体并运移,在古油藏形成后,由于加里东末期的构造运动的影响,古油藏和成矿流体的平衡被打破导致铅锌矿质沉淀,在这个过程中古油藏中的油田卤水可能为铅锌矿的沉淀提供了部分硫源。铅锌矿成矿时代与加里东期形成或破坏的古油藏时间上较为一致。     

寒武系烃源古油藏油裂解气特征及成藏条件

在寒武系为母源的气藏中,普遍存在的固体沥青、25-降藿烷、氮气等三种物质,实际是古油藏残余油裂解的产物。25-降藿烷一般与氧化—降解油有关,氮气来自油藏水洗时溶入的大气,二者共同反映古油藏经历的抬升破坏作用。寒武系烃源一般经历过两次成藏:加里东—海西期形成“油藏”,燕山—喜马拉雅期裂解为“气藏”。寒武系油裂解气成藏的地质条件是:古构造聚油、后期改造适度、叠合盆地增熟、断层作为油气运移通道等。围绕加里东—海西期古油藏寻找原生、次生油裂解气是今后寻找寒武系来源油气的重要途径。     

四川盆地北缘马元铅锌矿床与古油藏关系研究

马元铅锌矿床是四川盆地北缘重要的铅锌矿床之一,赋矿地层为震旦系灯影组,野外可见大量的沥青与铅锌矿共生/伴生,镜下见早期沥青与闪锌矿、方铅矿共生,沥青的生物标志物与郭家坝组烃源岩极为相似。物质来源方面,铅锌成矿主要的物质来源和两期油气成藏的物质来源均为下寒武统郭家坝组;时间关系方面,铅锌成矿的共生矿物Rb-Sr同位素等时线年龄为(486.7±3.1)Ma,仅可能与第一期古油藏形成、破坏有关。闪锌矿和重晶石包裹体中含有CH4和少量H2S、沥青,表明铅锌成矿流体中富含有古油藏裂解产物。生烃、排烃、初次运移萃取出"双源层"中的铅锌元素,第一期古油藏裂解和短暂TSR作用产生的还原性硫为铅锌络合物沉淀提供了物质基础,第一期古油藏最终完全破坏残留下早期沥青。     

川东南丁山构造震旦系—下古生界油气成藏条件及成藏过程

川东南的构造演化可分成5个阶段:①晚震旦世抬升剥蚀阶段;②早古生代沉降阶段;③晚志留世—泥盆、石炭纪抬升剥蚀阶段;④二叠纪—晚白垩世沉降阶段;⑤晚白垩世—现今快速隆升阶段。震旦系灯影组—下古生界储层沥青与下寒武统和下志留统黑色泥岩之间地球化学特征的对比表明二者有着重要的联系,灯影组烃源来自下寒武统牛蹄塘组。丁山构造一直处于高部位,有利于油气聚集,丁山构造在晚白垩世前圈闭、封盖、储层及保存条件均较好,形成了古油藏。随着埋深的增大,古油藏裂解成古气藏。晚白垩世至今受喜马拉雅运动的影响,通天断层发育,保存条件变差,导致天然气的逸散。丁山构造的油气成藏过程可分为古油藏→古油藏裂解形成古气藏→古气藏破坏三大过程。     

黔中隆起及其周缘地区海相下组合与油气勘探前景

黔中隆起及其周缘地区,主要包括黔西北地区及其东部相邻的麻江古油藏地区,均属扬子台地的一部分,具有相似的构造及盆地演化历史。海相下组合主要是指震旦系、寒武系、奥陶系和志留系。黔中隆起褶皱平缓,断裂活动弱,利于印支期及以前所形成的原生油气藏的保存。黔中隆起的下寒武统烃源岩特别是牛蹄塘组烃源岩比麻江地区古油藏烃源岩发育程度高,震旦系和寒武系白云岩为良好储层,下寒武统泥岩及中上寒武统的膏盐岩可作为直接盖层及区域盖层;再加上该区相对稳定的构造保存条件,只要现今地表淡水下渗的深度不足以沟通深层原生油气藏并使之遭受完全破坏,该区就可能成为中国南方海相下组合石油和天然气勘探的重要地区之一。     

川东南下寒武统牛蹄塘组烃源岩特征及有效性分析

通过地球化学分析、储层沥青薄片镜下鉴定,对川东南下寒武统牛蹄塘组烃源岩宏观特征以及微观地球化学特征进行深入研究,并以震旦系灯影组古油藏为例分析了烃源岩的有效性。结果表明,牛蹄塘组烃源岩厚度稳定,底部暗色泥页岩分别厚约25m-43m,平均有机碳含量介于0．5％-1．0％,现今已达过成熟阶段,为中等烃源岩。牛蹄塘组泥页岩是灯影组古油藏的主要烃源岩,古油藏原油裂解气是灯影组气藏成藏的物质基础。     

江南-雪峰山推覆体前缘沥青古油藏及油源对比

在江南-雪峰山推覆体前缘,下古生界中分布着一系列沥青古油藏。经野外实地观察调查,发现其主要赋存特征有：裂隙型炭沥青、溶洞-孔隙型沥青、裂隙-背斜型沥青、背斜-岩性复合型炭沥青。经过对所采集样品进行地球化学特征综合分析,认为本地区的有机质成熟度较高,并经受多期改造演化。油源对比结果显示,其主要来源于下寒武统的烃源,其次为下志留统的烃源。这一地区的沥青古油藏是一种多源多期成因,并经历了后期强烈改造。     

Climate and desertification in Southern Africa

Short-term changes in the general circulation of the atmosphere, which may lead to prolonged periods of drought, are catalysts for producing accelerated desertification. In southern Africa the northeastward thrust of desertification from the western and central arid and semi-arid areas (the Karoo) has long been recognised, but up til 1970 research failed to demonstrate a clear-cut relationship between the process of desertification and long term rainfall data. The application of sophisticated analytical techniques to regional rainfall data showed, however, that spatial and temporal variations in the Southern African rainfall pattern have a striking degree of organization. The summer rainfall region of the northeastern part of the subcontinent experiences 16–20 year fluctuations, in contrast with 10–12 year fluctuations in the all-season rainfall region along the southern Cape coast. Concentrating on regionally averaged data for the summer rainfall region, the author used Fourier analysis to confirm the persistence of the quasi 20-year fluctuations since 1840. The wet spell of the late 1970s is expected to die out by 1982 and may be followed by a dry spell running from 1983 to 1992. Policy and management practices should be geared to prevent further desertification during this period.     

Local war and its impact on ethnic and religious identification in Southern Ethiopia

After the fall of the Mengistu regime in 1991 the extreme south of Ethiopia first went through a period of relative peace in spite, or because of, the total absence of state institutions. The structures of local societies, among them thegada or generation set system, and the local forms of food production appeared to be sufficient for the needs of the local population. Then a variety of parties and liberation fronts started to compete for the control of state institutions which were expected to reappear. This led to a local war in which group identities were re-drawn to fit the patterns of ethnic movements or micro nationalisms. The paper examines primarily the examples of Oromo and Somali identity in this context.     

Mercury in the Southern Ocean

We present here the first mercury speciation study in the water column of the Southern Ocean, using a high-resolution south-to-north section (27 stations from 65.50°S to 44.00°S) with up to 15 depths (0-4440 m) between Antarctica and Tasmania (Australia) along the 140°E meridian. In addition, in order to explore the role of sea ice in Hg cycling, a study of mercury speciation in the “snow-sea ice-seawater” continuum was conducted at a coastal site, near the Australian Casey station (66.40°S; 101.14°E). In the open ocean waters, total Hg (Hg_T) concentrations varied from 0.63 to 2.76 pmol L⁻¹ with “transient-type” vertical profiles and a latitudinal distribution suggesting an atmospheric mercury source south of the Southern Polar Front (SPF) and a surface removal north of the Subantartic Front (SAF). Slightly higher mean Hg_T concentrations (1.35 ± 0.39 pmol L⁻¹) were measured in Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) compared to Antarctic Intermediate water (AAIW) (1.15 ± 0.22 pmol L⁻¹). Labile Hg (Hg_R) concentrations varied from 0.01 to 2.28 pmol L⁻¹, with a distribution showing that the Hg_T enrichment south of the SPF consisted mainly of Hg_R (67 ± 23%), whereas, in contrast, the percentage was half that in surface waters north of PFZ (33 ± 23%). Methylated mercury species (MeHg_T) concentrations ranged from 0.02 to 0.86 pmol L⁻¹. All vertical MeHg_T profiles exhibited roughly the same pattern, with low concentrations observed in the surface layer and increasing concentrations with depth up to an intermediate depth maximum. As for Hg_T, low mean MeHg_T concentrations were associated with AAIW, and higher ones with AABW. The maximum of MeHg_T concentration at each station was systematically observed within the oxygen minimum zone, with a statistically significant MeHg_Tvs Apparent Oxygen Utilization (AOU) relationship (p < 0.001). The proportion of Hg_T as methylated species was lower than 5% in the surface waters, around 50% in deep waters below 1000 m, reaching a maximum of 78% south of the SPF. At Casey coastal station Hg_T and Hg_R concentrations found in the “snow-sea ice-seawater” continuum were one order of magnitude higher than those measured in open ocean waters. The distribution of Hg_T there suggests an atmospheric Hg deposition with snow and a fractionation process during sea ice formation, which excludes Hg from the ice with a parallel Hg enrichment of brine, probably concurring with the Hg enrichment of AABW observed in the open ocean waters. Contrastingly, MeHg_T concentrations in the sea ice environment were in the same range as in the open ocean waters, remaining below 0.45 pmol L⁻¹. The MeHg_T vertical profile through the continuum suggests different sources, including atmosphere, seawater and methylation in basal ice. Whereas Hg_T concentrations in the water samples collected between the Antarctic continent and Tasmania are comparable to recent measurements made in the other parts of the World Ocean (e.g., Soerensen et al., 2010), the Hg species distribution suggests distinct features in the Southern Ocean Hg cycle: (i) a net atmospheric Hg deposition on surface water near the ice edge, (ii) the Hg enrichment in brine during sea ice formation, and (iii) a net methylation of Hg south of the SPF.     

羌塘及南缘地区的地壳结构

通过对INDEPTH III宽频地震资料的处理,采用最新发展的接收函数深度偏移叠加方法,获取羌塘盆地南部及与拉萨地块北侧的剖面。偏移图像勾画了羌塘地区的两盆夹一隆的基底,以及羌塘下地壳内存在的北倾构造序列。冈底斯的基底与羌塘地区有一定的延续性,而拉萨地块的上地壳则完全不同。同时通过与人工深反射地震剖面,发现主要大型的断裂构造在接收函数剖面上均可进行追踪对比,对于羌中隆起和和羌塘南北凹陷的深部成因有启示作用。同时发现班公-怒江缝合带Moho面错断并不明显,而在拉萨地块下方呈现的双Moho在色林错下方进行了合并。在南羌塘Moho面转换波强度不大,而北羌塘又重新恢复正常,推测这是拉萨地块向北的推挤造成羌塘下地壳部分地区重新分异的结果。双Moho的成因有待进一步分析,应该与拉萨地块下方大规模低速物质活动和MHT拆离断层的延伸有关。
