阿根廷海域重点盆地油气地质条件对比及勘探方向

阿根廷油气资源丰富,并且油气财税条款较为优越,与国外大型油公司和中国油公司均有油气勘探资产合作,适合我国海外油气勘探投资。阿根廷海域13个盆地以转换断层为界,可划分为南部盆地群和北部盆地群,南部、北部盆地群在早期裂谷盆地的基础上分别逐渐演化为前陆盆地和被动大陆边缘盆地。南北盆地群由于盆地类型不同、构造演化不同,导致其构造特征、地层充填特征和油气成藏条件等方面具有一定的差异性特征。通过对阿根廷海域南部前陆盆地群和北部被动大陆边缘盆地群构造演化、地层充填、烃源岩条件、储层条件和圈闭条件对比研究,对阿根廷海域盆地石油地质特征有了进一步的认识,指出南部的前陆盆地成藏条件要优于北部被动大陆边缘盆地。分析表明,南部盆地群中的马尔维纳斯前陆盆地为剩余有利勘探区,该盆地勘探程度低,已证实具有油气发现,推测盆地中南部为有利构造带,或许将成为阿根廷未来的勘探热点。     

Comparative petroleum systems analysis of the interior basins of Turkey: Implications for petroleum potential

The interior basins of Turkey remain effectively unexplored and their petroleum systems are poorly understood. This paper presents a comparative summary of the geological evolution, petroleum potential and prospectivity of the Central (Tuz Gölü, Sivas and Çankırı) and East Anatolian (Muş-Hınıs, Pasinler-Horasan and Tercan-Aşkale) basins using geological, seismic, geochemical and petrophysical data, and a series of quantitative basin models. The studied basins are ranked on the basis of source effectiveness, reservoir quality, seal efficiency, and the timing of hydrocarbon expulsion and migration relative to trap formation. A qualitative risk assessment, based on the elements of the petroleum system, is used to evaluate the likelihood of hydrocarbon discovery in each of the basins. This study shows that the chance of hydrocarbon discovery in the East Anatolian basins is unlikely-very unlikely and Tuz Gölü, Sivas and Çankırı basins are equally likely/unlikely-unlikely, likely and unlikely, respectively. Heavy oil and minor gas associated with two mature petroleum systems were discovered in the Tuz Gölü basin. Various trap forming mechanisms such as salt tectonics and Middle Eocene compression, accompanied by the effective sealing capacity of the Eocene evaporites favor the hydrocarbon exploration potential of the Tuz Gölü basin. The highest exploration risk in the Tuz Gölü basin arises from the poor quality sandstone reservoirs. The biggest risk factor in the Eastern Anatolian basins is insufficient thermal maturity, despite the presence of good quality source rocks. The Sivas basin is one of the most promising interior basins of Turkey due to the presence of multiple mature petroleum systems and high quality reservoirs. There is a high chance of accumulation of multi-phase hydrocarbons in the Eocene and Miocene traps. The major problem in the Sivas basin is the lack of an efficient seal rock. The Çankırı basin contains all of the necessary elements of an ideal petroleum system except the presence of an organic-rich source rock. Thus, the chance of hydrocarbon discovery in the Çankırı basin is low.     

Relating petroleum system and play development to basin evolution: West African South Atlantic basins

Sedimentary basins can be classified according to their structural genesis and evolutionary history and the latter can be linked to petroleum system and play development. We propose an approach in which we use the established concepts in a new way: breaking basins down into their natural basin cycle division, then defining the characteristics of each basin cycle (including the type of petroleum systems and plays they may contain) and comparing them with similar basin cycles in other basins, thereby providing a means to learn through a greater population of (perhaps not immediately obvious) analogues. Furthermore, we introduce the use of the trajectory plot as a new tool in such an analysis. This methodology has been applied to the West African South Atlantic marginal basins between Cameroon and Angola, and we demonstrate that the similar tectonostratigraphic evolution of the individual basins along this margin has led to the development of similar types of petroleum systems and play (level)s. Consequently, we can make analogue comparisons among these basins in order to evaluate and predict the presence of potential, yet undiscovered, hydrocarbon accumulations in less well explored parts of the margin.     

The link between tectonics and sedimentation in asymmetric extensional basins: Inferences from the study of the Sarajevo-Zenica Basin

The coupled tectonic and depositional history of extensional basins is usually described in terms of stratigraphic sequences linked with the activity of normal faults. This depositional-kinematic interplay is less understood in basins bounded by major extensional detachments or normal fault systems associated with significant exhumation of footwalls. Of particular interest is the link between tectonics and sedimentation during the migration of normal faulting in time and space across the basin. One area where such coupled depositional-kinematic history can be optimally studied is the Late Oligocene - Miocene Sarajevo-Zenica Basin, located in the Dinarides Mountains of Bosnia and Herzegovina. This intra-montane basin recorded Oligocene – Pliocene sedimentation in an endemic and isolated lake environment. We use field kinematic and sedimentological mapping in outcrops correlated with existing local and regional studies to derive a high-resolution evolutionary model of the basin. The novel results demonstrate a close correlation between moments of normal faulting and high-order sedimentological cycles, while the overall extensional basin was filled by a largely uni-directional sediment supply from the neighbouring mountain chain. The migration in time and space of listric NE-dipping normal faults was associated with a gradual shift of the sedimentological environment. Transgressive-regressive cycles reflect sequential displacements on normal faults and their footwall exhumation, defining a new sedimentological model for such basins. This Early - Middle Miocene extension affected the central part of the Dinarides and was associated with the larger opening of the neighbouring Pannonian Basin. The extension was preceded and followed by two phases of contraction. The Oligocene - Early Miocene thrusting took place during the final stages of the Dinarides collision, while the post-Middle Miocene contraction is correlated with the regional indentation of the Adriatic continental unit. This latter phase inverted the extensional basin by reactivating the inherited basal listric detachment.     

Seismic stratigraphy and subsidence analysis of the southern Brazilian margin (Campos,Santos and Pelotas basins)

The Campos, Santos and Pelotas basins have been investigated in terms of 2D seismo-stratigraphy and subsidence. The processes controlling accommodation space (e.g. eustacy, subsidence, sediment input) and the evolution of the three basins are discussed. Depositional seismic sequences in the syn-rift Barremian to the drift Holocene basin fill have been identified. In addition, the subsidence/uplift history has been numerically modeled including (i) sediment flux, (ii) sedimentary basin framework, (iii) relation to plate-tectonic reconfigurations, and (iv) mechanism of crustal extension. Although the initial rift development of the three basins is very similar, basin architecture, sedimentary infill and distribution differ considerably during the syn-rift sag to the drift basin stages. After widespread late Aptian–early Albian salt and carbonate deposition, shelf retrogradation dominated in the Campos Basin, whereas shelf progradation occurred in the Santos Basin. In the Tertiary, these basin fill styles were reversed: since the Paleogene, shelf progradation in the Campos Basin contrasts with overall retrogradation in the Santos Basin. In contrast, long-term Cretaceous–Paleogene shelf retrogradation and intense Neogene progradation characterize the Pelotas Basin. Its specific basin fill and architecture mainly resulted from the absence of salt deposition and deformation. These temporally and spatially varying successions were controlled by specific long-term subsidence/uplift trends. Onshore and offshore tectonism in the Campos and Santos basins affected the sediment flux history, distribution of the main depocenters and occurrence of hydrocarbon stratigraphic–structural traps. This is highlighted by the exhumation and erosion of the Serra do Mar, Serra da Mantiqueira and Ponta Grossa Arch in the hinterland, as well as salt tectonics in the offshore domain. The Pelotas Basin was less affected by changes in structural regimes until the Eocene, when the Andean orogeny caused uplift of the source areas. Flexural loading largely controlled its development and potential hydrocarbon traps are mainly stratigraphic.

Phases of compression during the evolution of the Pannonian Basin and its bearing on hydrocarbon exploration

Progress in understanding the structural evolution of the Pannonian Basin is reported. This has been driven by the application of seismic stratigraphy constrained by magnetostratigraphic data and the recent release of a great amount of hydrocarbon exploration data. This has led to a redefinition and better understanding of the syn-rift period and style of rifting. In addition, a complex structural evolution history during the post-rift phase has been recognized. Two compressive events are defined: one in the early stage and another in the late stage of evolution. The importance of these findings for hydrocarbon exploration includes an improved knowledge of the timing of trap formations and a possible explanation for remarkably variable reservoir pressures in pools of the Great Hungarian Plain.

Role of the shale tectonics on the evolution of the Eastern Venezuelan Cenozoic thrust and fold belt

This paper presents a structural and stratigraphic analysis of the foreland-fold-belt of the Eastern Venezuelan Basin and the main conclusions about shale tectonic mechanisms in the area. The deformation of the foreland-fold-belt has been investigated analyzing the growth strata architecture preserved on the structure fold limbs. Three contractional episodes are proposed for the Eastern Venezuelan Basin: 1) Oligocene to middle Miocene, 2) late Miocene to Pliocene and 3) Pleistocene. The first episode produced contractional listric faults inside the shale and long displacement blind thrusts in the underlying Cretaceous units. The second episode produced the deformation of the Cenozoic strata into overlapping east-west-trending, convex northward anticlines that covers more than 200 kilometers in length and 40 kilometers wide, break-through normal faults product of a high sedimentary load that overcomes contraction and the formation of short-displacement blind thrusts in the underlying Cretaceous units. The last episode is related to an oblique compression and the formation of high angle extensional faults with dextral movement and NW-SE strike. The role of the shale tectonics in the evolution implies that shale deforms in two stages: 1) folding and 2) normal faulting of the crest of the anticline (Break through normal faulting). Folding controlled the sediment distribution during most of the Neogene strata, while the normal faulting of the anticlines represent basin potential for hydrocarbon. The best potential hydrocarbon plays in the basin are related to oblique-collision restricted basins and controlled by break-through normal faults and the presence of NW-SE strike faults that connect the HC source with the reservoirs. Results from this research imply that the role of sedimentation is fundamental for the overburden sand distribution and tectonic constrain of the folds.     

南大西洋被动陆缘共轭盆地烃源岩分布与油气富集规律——以巴西桑托斯盆地和西非纳米贝盆地为例

巴西桑托斯盆地与西非纳米贝盆地属于南大西洋中部被动大陆边缘共轭盆地,其构造演化可划分为3个阶段:裂谷期、过渡期和后裂谷期,过渡期发育阿普特阶盐。南大西洋不对称裂开控制了桑托斯盆地和纳米贝盆地在盐下早白垩世裂谷地堑、盐发育和盐上晚白垩世地层厚度等方面的差异,这些差异控制了桑托斯盆地和纳米贝盆地盐下早白垩世湖相烃源岩发育及盐上晚白垩世海相烃源岩成熟度,进而控制了桑托斯盆地和纳米贝盆地油气富集规律。桑托斯盆地深水区盐下下白垩统构造或岩性圈闭是寻找巨型油气田的有利勘探方向;浅水区盐上上白垩统地堑深凹陷盐活动相关构造或岩性圈闭是寻找大中型油气田的有利勘探方向。     

阿尤恩盆地沉积特征、构造背景及油气资源

阿尤恩盆地成盆受控于非洲板块和南美板块,也曾受到北美板块的强烈影响,后期又受到阿特拉斯山系等造山运动影响。阿尤恩盆地成岩、成藏过程复杂,多期次叠加。自泛非构造运动以来,阿尤恩盆地沉积连续,不同层系中均发育有机质含量高的地层,为优质烃源岩;不同层系均发育有厚度大、分布稳定的碎屑岩,孔隙度、渗透率高,亦发育有碳酸盐岩台地、生物礁等,为优质的储集层;不同层系中的页岩、盐岩等,均可成为优质的盖层。烃源岩、储集层、盖层等配置好。目前阿尤恩盆地油气资源勘探开发投入较西非其他盆地少,但只要加强生、储、盖层配置研究,有针对性地开展地质勘探,在油气资源开发中采用先进技术等,未来将具勘探潜力与经济价值。

基于盆地模拟技术的潮汕坳陷油气勘探前景预测

潮汕坳陷是以中生界为目标的新的油气勘探领域,其地层时代、产状、岩性以及构造特征等都与珠江口盆地其他坳陷差别很大。鉴于该坳陷内尚无探井,该文充分利用地震资料,结合区域研究成果合理选择参数,利用Basin2盆地模拟软件,对该坳陷沉积充填史、温压场演化史和有机质演化史进行了正演模拟,模拟结果显示坳陷内中生界白垩系经历的二次成烃作用提供了主要烃源,而且由于新生代的构造运动,形成了良好的构造圈闭,因此该含油气系统生储盖的时空配置有利于在晚白垩世地层中形成自生自储或下生上储的岩性圈闭和构造圈闭油气藏,应作为该坳陷油气勘探的主要目的层。     

东海陆架盆地南部构造演化及对油气的控制作用

通过对东海陆架盆地形成的动力学机制研究,分析了动力学机制控制下的盆地南部构造演化特征,提出构造演化对油气成藏的四个控制作用：（1）构造运动控制了盆地演化阶段与凹陷结构;（2）构造运动控制了盆地沉降中心迁移与地层分布;（3）构造运动决定了油气成藏关键时期和油气分带的差异性;（4）构造运动控制了油气聚集与分布。构造运动是盆地演化及油气成藏的主导因素,盆地构造演化结合油气地质综合研究是东海陆架盆地南部油气勘探工作的重点。     

Thermal evolution of the lithosphere of buried structures of the deep-water basin of the Black Sea

The GALO system for basin modeling is applied for numerical reconstruction of the thermal history of the lithosphere of the Western Basin and the Shatsky and Andrusov rises in the Black Sea. The modeling showed that the variant of the thermal evolution of the lithosphere of the region that was used by us for the Eastern Basin in our previous study is also applicable to the thermal evolution of the lithosphere of various tectonically different structures of the deep-water part of the Black Sea. These structures include both the Western and Eastern basins of the sea characterized by a granite-free crust formed in the course of the back-arc spreading and the Shatsky and Andrusov rises with the continental type of crust. The proposed version of the lithosphere evolution in the deep-water part of the Black Sea implies the initial stage of quasi-rift heating in the Upper Cretaceous and the three-staged thermal activation of the plate in the Cenozoic accompanied by three successive stages of crustal thinning. The latter resulted in the gradual deepening of the sea down to the present-day depth of 2.2 km.     

下刚果盆地油气成藏条件及勘探潜力分析

下刚果盆地油气资源非常丰富,有较大勘探前景。但由于其储层是碳酸盐岩储层,受复杂的盐岩活动影响,其构造特征及油气成藏特征也非常复杂,因此给地质认识带来了很大的困难。此文通过对该区区域地质背景、油气成藏条件和勘探潜力的综合分析,认为下刚果盆地构造演化经历了前裂谷期、同裂谷期、过渡期和漂移期四个时期。主要发育盐下和盐上两套主力烃源岩。盐上及盐下地层均具有良好的储盖组合。盐上地层构造经历了三期构造演化和两个演化序列。研究区主要发育盐下生-盐下储、盐下生-盐上储、盐上生-盐上储共三种成藏组合。认为白垩系碳酸盐岩构造具有良好的勘探前景,盐上地层是下一步勘探需要重点关注的区域,盐下构造也是较好的潜在勘探领域。研究成果对我国石油公司参与下刚果盆地或类似盆地的研究和油气勘探具有一定的借鉴意义。

Inversion tectonics in Central Africa Rift System: Evidence from the Heglig Field

The Mesozoic-Cenozoic tectonic history of the Muglad Basin, is dominated by extension and inversion tectonics, but evidence of the inversion tectonics has not been well documented yet. In some other rift basins of CARS and WARS the phase of the inversion tectonics is well documented by several authors.This paper presents a structural study of the Heglig field area located on the eastern flank of the Muglad Basin. Detailed 3D seismic interpretation allows a better understanding of the structural style of the Heglig field. The new structural analysis has shown that the Heglig field has a complex structural framework reflected in the presence of a combination of two structural styles. The extensional structure is influenced by inversion tectonics during the Santonian time that creates four-way dip anticline structure, overprinted by the subsequent extensional movement that creates tilted fault block. The presence of inversion tectonics has supported by different means including seismic reflection, velocity, and source rock maturity data. The authors attributed the trapping of oil in the Lower Bentiu reservoir, that requires a horizontal seal, to the presence of the four-way dip anticline structure created by the inversion tectonics.The current interpretation of the Heglig field 3D seismic data sheds new light on the development and evolution of a key structure in the Muglad Basin. The results help to resolve long-standing discussion concerning hydrocarbon accumulation of the lower part of Bentiu Formation that lacks horizontal sealing.     

东海陆架盆地南部中生代构造-沉积演化与油气勘探方向

东海陆架盆地位于欧亚板块东南缘,中生代以来盆地形成和演化过程受到古太平洋板块多期洋壳俯冲及其多构造体系叠加改造,其盆地原型、构造-沉积演化与油气成藏关系一直是研究的热点。本文综合应用东海陆架盆地南部最新地震调查、钻井和临近陆域资料,通过海陆对比、中生界层序地层建立、构造-沉积演化过程重塑,探讨中生界油气成藏的关键问题和勘探方向。研究结果认为东海陆架盆地南部中生界存在2个超层序7个层序,中生代以来演化表现为晚三叠世前的被动大陆边缘基底、晚三叠世—中侏罗世活动大陆边缘拗陷、白垩纪活动陆缘断陷盆地;早期基底NE向格架控制中生代盆地结构与宏观含油气性,中生代两期构造演化造就了两套生储盖组合,基隆运动、渔山运动和雁荡运动控制早期油气的生成、聚集,龙井运动主要控制早期油气藏调整与改造、再成藏;继承性隆起（斜坡）闽江斜坡和“凹中凸”台北转折带是中生界油气主要勘探方向。     

Geologic evolution and hydrocarbon habitat of the ‘Arctic Alaska Microplate’

Depositional sequence mapping has been used to analyse the late Devonian to Recent geologic evolution and hydrocarbon habitat of north Alaska and northwest Canada. Eight depositional megasequences have been identified, each of which records a discrete, major phase of basin evolution. The three oldest megasequences are named the Ellesmerian and reflect deposition on a subsiding fold belt terrane. We name the subsequent two megasequences of early Jurassic to Aptian age, the Beaufortian. They record a 100 m.y. period of extension during which a Jurassic failed rift episode was followed by onset of the successful rift episode in the Hauterivian. This extension led to the opening of the oceanic Canada Basin. The final three megasequences record geographically distinct pulses of Brookian orogenesis.The major proven hydrocarbon habitat occurs on the Barrow Arch of north Alaska. This is a volumetrically large, but greatly restricted, hydrocarbon province, which developed as a result of constructive interference between Beaufortian rift and Brookian orogenic tectonics. Two other, relatively minor, hydrocarbon provinces have also been discovered. They are the Mackenzie Delta and Kugmallit Trough provinces of northwest Canada, which developed in passively subsided basins, located just beyond the influence of Brookian orogenic uplift.
