鲍玛序列各段的不同成因解释

<正> 关于浊流沉积垂向上的结构构造特征的鲍玛序列(1962)已大多数学者所接受,认为这是鉴别经典浊积岩的标准层序。随着人们对深水异地沉积的另一重要领域——深水牵引流沉积的深入研究,鲍玛序列的多解性显得越来越明显。目前,对鲍玛序列各阶段存在的不同成因解释如表1所示。鲍玛序列各段部存在不同的成因解释,沉积物重力流及深水牵引流理论的发展要求重新审视鲍玛序列所代表的真正含义。等深流、内波流及内潮汐流等深水牵引流、沉积物重力流引发的牵引流对早期重力流沉积进行改造,可形成不同类型的沉积物重力流—深水牵引流沉积组合,该组合类似于鲍玛序列的沉积特征,因而在实际解释中极可能将其归为具鲍     

库车坳陷上三叠统的浊流沉积及石油地质意义

库车坳陷中部上三叠统发育了一套的典型的浊积岩系，既有代表浊流沉积特征的多种底痕构造，又有特征的鲍玛序列，浊流沉积通过坳陷东北部的辫状河三角洲前缘陡坡带进入盆地中心，由于晚三叠世处在稳定的坳陷沉降阶段，加之湖盆底部地形平缓，因而浊积岩系相对较薄，仅发育Ｄ相一个浊积岩相，显然这是一种典型的远源浊积岩。与浊积岩共生的深湖相烃源岩和辫状河三角洲相储集层及盖层十分发育，从而证实本区中生界有着良好的油气勘探远景。     

深水沉积研究前缘问题

深水沉积研究经历了50年,争论也持续了50年。从浊流及鲍玛序列开始,随着对浊流定义的过分使用,到今天对鲍玛序列作为浊积岩相序及相关的扇模式普遍持否定态度,深水沉积研究经历了一个认识的旋回。主要问题和争论的焦点是：是否所有深水砂岩都是浊流成因,鲍玛序列能否代表浊积岩相序;是否所有的深水扇水道下方都能形成席状的、平行的、加厚的、具有丘状外形的浊积砂岩沉积;是否可以利用地震方法识别深水扇的砂岩储层。对“浊流”概念的过分使用把深水扇模式内几乎所有深水沉积都解释成浊流成因,导致了曾经为之建立模式的学者纷纷撰文抛弃原有扇模式。深水沉积研究面临着对过往认识的否定和如何建立新的理论模式。尽管浊流及相关的深水扇模式研究走向穷途末路,石油工业却从浊流理论和相关模式中获得了许多油气发现,勘探家们仍然希望通过这些模式寻找更多的油气,科学理论和应用出现了分化。对深水沉积过程和流态的认识及沉积模式的建立是当今深水沉积研究的难点,实现深水砂岩储层的有效预测是深水沉积研究的主要目的。我国深海油气勘探在即,深水沉积的科学问题同样不可逾越。     

深水重力流沉积研究进展

深水重力流沉积研究经历了半个多世纪发展,从浊流及鲍马序列开始,到把深水砂岩普遍解释为浊流成因以及海底扇模式的建立,再到今天学者们对鲍马序列的质疑,深水重力流沉积的研究经历了认识上的螺旋式上升旋回。目前关于深水重力流沉积争议的焦点在于高密度浊流是否属于浊流的范畴,深水砂岩是否都是浊流成因。以Shanmugam为代表的学者认为,绝大多数的深水砂岩都是碎屑流成因而非浊流成因,并且提出了重力流分类新方案,同时建立了与其匹配的深水斜坡沉积模式。通过对前人成果的广泛调研,经过对比总结,认为:1根据流变学和沉积物搬运机制,重力流分为碎屑流(砂质碎屑流和泥质碎屑流)、颗粒流、浊流;2浊流的韵律结构特征为明显的正粒序且没有漂浮的碎屑颗粒,碎屑流自下而上呈逆-正粒序的两套韵律变化且发育有漂浮的碎屑颗粒;3Walker的综合扇模式与Shanmugam的斜坡沉积模式,二者是可以共存的,只是在某一地区适用性不同而已。     

右江盆地深水沉积层序地层学研究

以右江地区泥盆-三叠纪深水盆地相地层为研究对象,①详细讨论了深水浊流沉积的层序划分及特征,结果表明浊流沉积的层序界面特征明显,主要表现为界面不规则,LST期砂岩底面具大量侵蚀充填构造及塑性流动变形构造等,层序的体系域构成与浊积扇演化关系密切,即从低水位体系域→海侵体系域→高水位体系域的演化浊积扇经历了进积→退积→加积→进积演化过程;②详细讨论了深水硅泥质沉积的层序划分及特征,即可根据硅质岩、泥质岩 (包括粉砂岩 )相对含量变化及成因特征来识别层序及体系域组成特征。     

内波单独作用形成的深水沉积物波

深水沉积物波是一种海底普遍发育、规模较大的波状沉积体,大多数学者将它们解释为等深流沉积或浊流沉积。本文结合内波理论的研究进展，考虑内波沉积作用的水动力学特征，探讨了深水沉积物波的内波成因机制。得出以下几点认识：①海底流动单独作用无法满足沉积物波形成所需的流动层厚度及流动速度，较难解释沉积物波的迁移方向及规则的内部及外部形态。②内波可以引起海底流动，内波比表面波更容易形成更大规模范围内的沉积床形。③内波可以形成大型沉积物波，用内波可以较合理地解释内波的对称波形单元、非对称波形单元及上攀波形单元的成因。波动面离海底距离较大的行进内波及内驻波可以形成对称波形的沉积物波；波动面离海底距离较近的行进内波及内孤立波可以形成非对称波形的沉积物波；内波引起的海底流动进一步增强时，可形成上攀波形沉积物波。④行进内波可以形成向内波传播相反方向迁移的沉积物波，向海盆内部传播的内波可以形成向上坡方向迁移的沉积物波。     

鄂尔多斯盆地东缘中生代延长组浊流沉积的发现与意义

作者在鄂尔多斯盆地东缘发现了一套典型的浊积岩系．在露头剖面上连续发育的厚约２０ｍ的浊流沉积可划分为６４个鲍玛层序，既广泛发育有代表浊流沉积特征的递交砂和多种底痕构造，又有Ｔａ—Ｔｅ都发育的典型层序，在层序组合上呈周期性变化。浊流沉积形成于晚三叠世，其上被下侏罗统富县组和中侏罗统延安组所覆，与邻区对比，其间缺少一套三角洲前缘及三角洲平原沉积．表明印支运动使鄂尔多斯盆地抬升造成差异剥蚀和在深水－半深水湖盆条件下与三角洲发育有关的浊流沉积类型出现的广泛性．     

东营凹陷史112区块沙三中亚段深水重力流体系精细刻画及在开发中的意义

深水重力流作为一种重要的、特殊类型的沉积体系,自发现以来就得到了学术界的广泛关注,并在油气勘探中日益受到重视。东营凹陷古近系沙三中段发育深水重力流体系,综合地震、岩心、测录井等资料,对郝家油田史112区块深水重力流体系的沉积类型、特征及在不同层序中的发育演化进行了精细刻画,总结了该区重力流沉积模式,为开发区储层预测提供重要参考。研究表明,本区深水重力流体系发育于三级层序的高位域,从下至上可划分出4个四级层序(SQQ^1-4),主要发育滑塌沉积、碎屑流沉积和浊流沉积3种成因类型,可识别出12种岩相组合。四级层序SQQ₃³时期重力流规模较小,SQQ₃³时期随着东营三角洲向湖盆中心推进,重力流规模扩大。滑塌沉积主要发育在三角洲前缘或前三角洲斜坡根部,在滑塌沉积前方形成碎屑流沉积,碎屑流向前搬运的过程中,逐渐转化成浊流沉积。三角洲前缘及前三角洲的浊流和碎屑流是开发井区进一步寻找储层的有利部位。     

浊流沉积研究的新进展:鲍马序列、海底扇的重新审视

本文在总结前人对浊流沉积研究的基础上,分析前人对浊流与浊积岩、浊流沉积与浊流相模式的对应关系之间的认识,并对鲍马序列进行重新审视。在海底扇研究过程中,鲍马序列已经不能充分反映浊流沉积的全过程。鲍马序列所反应的沉积模式其实是由碎屑流、浊流、底流等多种形式流体组合和改造后的结果,海底扇沉积模式不能笼统归结为浊流沉积作用的结果。在完善重力流、底流等沉积作用的同时,建立一个与沉积作用相互联系的深海沉积系统,以对深海研究提供更好地指导和预测。     

Recognition of cyclic steps in sandy and gravelly turbidite sequences,and consequences for the Bouma facies model

Preservation of cyclic steps contrasts markedly with that of subcritical‐flow bedforms, because cyclic steps migrate upslope eroding their lee face and preserving their stoss side. Such bedforms have not been described from turbidite outcrops and cores as yet. A conceptual block diagram for recognition of cyclic steps in outcrop has been constructed and is tested by outcrop studies of deep water submarine fan deposits of the Tabernas Basin in south‐eastern Spain. Experimental data indicate that depositional processes on the stoss side of a cyclic step are controlled by a hydraulic jump, which decelerates the flow and by subsequent waxing of the flow up to supercritical conditions once more. The hydraulic jump produces a large scour with soft‐sediment deformation (flames) preserved in coarse‐tail normal‐graded structureless deposits (Bouma Ta), while near‐horizontal, massive to stratified top‐cut‐out turbidite beds are found further down the stoss side of the bedform. The architecture of cyclic steps can best be described as large, up to hundreds of metres, lens‐shaped bodies that are truncated by erosive surfaces representing the set boundaries and that consist of nearly horizontal lying stacks of top‐cut‐out turbidite beds. The facies that characterize these bedforms have traditionally been described as turbidite units in idealized vertical sequences of high‐density turbidity currents, but have not yet been interpreted to represent bedforms produced by supercritical flow. Their large size, which is in the order of 20 m for gravelly and up to hundreds of metres for sandy steps, is likely to have hindered their recognition in outcrop so far.

Subaqueous sediment density flows: Depositional processes and deposit types

Submarine sediment density flows are one of the most important processes for moving sediment across our planet, yet they are extremely difficult to monitor directly. The speed of long run‐out submarine density flows has been measured directly in just five locations worldwide and their sediment concentration has never been measured directly. The only record of most density flows is their sediment deposit. This article summarizes the processes by which density flows deposit sediment and proposes a new single classification for the resulting types of deposit. Colloidal properties of fine cohesive mud ensure that mud deposition is complex, and large volumes of mud can sometimes pond or drain‐back for long distances into basinal lows. Deposition of ungraded mud (T_E‐3) most probably finally results from en masse consolidation in relatively thin and dense flows, although initial size sorting of mud indicates earlier stages of dilute and expanded flow. Graded mud (T_E‐2) and finely laminated mud (T_E‐1) most probably result from floc settling at lower mud concentrations. Grain‐size breaks beneath mud intervals are commonplace, and record bypass of intermediate grain sizes due to colloidal mud behaviour. Planar‐laminated (T_D) and ripple cross‐laminated (T_C) non‐cohesive silt or fine sand is deposited by dilute flow, and the external deposit shape is consistent with previous models of spatial decelerating (dissipative) dilute flow. A grain‐size break beneath the ripple cross‐laminated (T_C) interval is common, and records a period of sediment reworking (sometimes into dunes) or bypass. Finely planar‐laminated sand can be deposited by low‐amplitude bed waves in dilute flow (T_B‐1), but it is most likely to be deposited mainly by high‐concentration near‐bed layers beneath high‐density flows (T_B‐2). More widely spaced planar lamination (T_B‐3) occurs beneath massive clean sand (T_A), and is also formed by high‐density turbidity currents. High‐density turbidite deposits (T_A, T_B‐2 and T_B‐3) have a tabular shape consistent with hindered settling, and are typically overlain by a more extensive drape of low‐density turbidite (T_D and T_C,). This core and drape shape suggests that events sometimes comprise two distinct flow components. Massive clean sand is less commonly deposited en masse by liquefied debris flow (D_CS), in which case the clean sand is ungraded or has a patchy grain‐size texture. Clean‐sand debrites can extend for several tens of kilometres before pinching out abruptly. Up‐current transitions suggest that clean‐sand debris flows sometimes form via transformation from high‐density turbidity currents. Cohesive debris flows can deposit three types of ungraded muddy sand that may contain clasts. Thick cohesive debrites tend to occur in more proximal settings and extend from an initial slope failure. Thinner and highly mobile low‐strength cohesive debris flows produce extensive deposits restricted to distal areas. These low‐strength debris flows may contain clasts and travel long distances (D_M‐2), or result from more local flow transformation due to turbulence damping by cohesive mud (D_M‐1). Mapping of individual flow deposits (beds) emphasizes how a single event can contain several flow types, with transformations between flow types. Flow transformation may be from dilute to dense flow, as well as from dense to dilute flow. Flow state, deposit type and flow transformation are strongly dependent on the volume fraction of cohesive fine mud within a flow. Recent field observations show significant deviations from previous widely cited models, and many hypotheses linking flow type to deposit type are poorly tested. There is much still to learn about these remarkable flows.

贺兰山地区中奥陶统樱桃沟组深水牵引流沉积的发现及其意义

鄂尔多斯盆地西缘贺兰山地区的中奧陶统樱桃沟组发育一套夹有碳酸盐滑塌重力流沉积的陆源碎屑浊积岩,研究程度颇高。笔者在野外调查过程中于樱桃沟组浊流沉积体发育的环境中发现了相当数量的交错层理,如大型交错层理,板状交错层理,波状、脉状、透镜状层理和波痕等,曾一度被前人解释为浅水沉积环境的识别标志。本文结合当时的古地理背景、沉积环境和区域构造演化特征,通过对樱桃沟组野外露头的详细描述和岩石特征的精细刻画以及对该组沉积序列的详细分析,认为上述疑似浅水沉积环境的交错层理实为底流(深水牵引流)对浊流改造的结果,并分别形成了内波、内潮汐沉积和等深流沉积,这在研究区为首次发现。据此将其归纳为7种岩石类型:(1)双向交错层理粉砂岩;(2)束状透镜体叠加的交错纹理粉砂岩;(3)具波状层理粉砂岩;(4)单向交错层理砂岩;(5)水流波痕细砂岩;(6)平行层理细-中砂岩;(7)大型交错层理细砂岩。其中,前5种岩石类型为内波、内潮汐沉积,后两种为等深流沉积。研究表明樱桃沟组为深水牵引流沉积(内波、内潮汐沉积、等深流沉积)、重力流沉积(碳酸盐滑塌角砾岩、浊积岩)和原地沉积的复合沉积,并建立了该区水道型内波、内潮汐沉积模式。     

深海沉积理论发展及其在油气勘探中的意义

深海沉积理论的进展主要涉及“鲍玛序列”、浊流、砂质碎屑流和深海层序地层四方面。以Shanmugam为代表认为:“鲍玛序列”并非唯一浊流产物,可含有砂质碎屑流、浊流、内潮汐、内波、等深流多种流体作用的结果;过去识别的“鲍玛序列”A段有浊流也有相当部分是砂质碎屑流成因,B—D段交错层理则是底层牵引流沉积产生的;只有浊流的沉积物才能称为浊积岩;“高密度浊流”是指砂质碎屑流而不是浊流;浊流是一种有牛顿流和紊乱状态的沉积物重力流;浊积岩没有复杂的颗粒悬浮层和碎石浮层,不发育逆粒序。Shanmugam等关于“鲍玛序列”这一新解是深海沉积学理论的一个进步。深海牵引流过去数十年取得了较大进步,但理论与实践脱节。深海层序地层是深海沉积理论进展的另一个方面,层序界面类型、体系域沉积有自身的独特性:层序界面至少存在斜坡侵蚀面、低水位下超面和水下沉积间断面三种;当沉积背景以陆源碎屑为主时,LST主要为盆底扇,TST和早期HST表现为非钙质远洋沉积,晚期HST一般不发育;当碳酸盐沉积为沉积背景时,LST主体为碎屑流和跨塌蹦落沉积或淡水透镜体,TST和早期HST为钙质细粒沉积,晚期HST可能存在有较小规模的钙屑海底扇。建议慎重解释“鲍玛序列”,审视“浊积扇”理论,废弃“浊积扇”概念,加强深海牵引流沉积机理方面的研究;LST浊积砂体、砂质碎屑流形成的块状不规则砂体、深海牵引流砂体可在深海储层预测方面具有巨大潜势,深海沉积作用及其过程的精细研究在指导深海油气勘探方面将会发挥越来越为重要的作用。
