论煤层的加积方式

煤层成因是煤地质学的核心。煤层是一种沉积地层,它遵循沉积学、地层学、岩石学以及矿床学的基本规律,也有其特殊性,其成因并不同于煤的成因。传统煤地质学的核心观点是煤层由泥炭沼泽演化而成,其本质就是成煤物质的垂向加积。通过对煤层垂向和侧向加积的分析对比以及大面积稳定展布的厚煤层低自然伽马多峰现象、层理与条带结构等沉积特征的研究,认为成煤物质是机械沉积的,煤层像大多数沉积岩层一样是侧向加积形成的。对于厚煤层而言,多期侧向加积产生了次生垂向加积,其形成过程不是一个简单的、连续的、线性的垂向累加过程,而是一个复杂的、不连续的、非线性的侧向叠合过程,成煤物质是不连续的、多期多源的,厚煤层中普遍存在的夹矸便是其不连续的证据,同时厚煤层是穿时的。煤层侧向加积与较深水或海相沉积共生,是一个有机连续的整体,符合瓦尔特相律和古生态学原理,符合煤层厚度、形态多变及下伏地层沉积体系多种多样,也符合成煤物质超巨量工业富集、含煤地层灰色灰黑色、煤矿床质量优良的事实。     

Facies and architectural element analysis of a meandering fluvial succession: The Permian Warchha Sandstone, Salt Range, Pakistan

The 30 to 155 m thick Early Permian (Artinskian) Warchha Sandstone of the Salt Range, Pakistan is a conglomerate, sandstone and claystone succession within which seven lithofacies types (Gt, St, Sp, Sr, Sh, Fl and Fm) occur in a predictable order as repeated fining-upward cycles. Common sedimentary structures in the conglomerates and sandstones include planar and trough cross-bedding, planar lamination, soft sediment-deformed bedding, compound cosets of strata with low-angle inclined bounding surfaces and lags of imbricated pebbles. Structures in the finer-grained facies include desiccation cracks, raindrop imprints, caliche nodules and bioturbation. Groups of associated facies are arranged into nine distinct architectural elements (channels, gravel bars, sandy bedforms, downstream and laterally accreting barforms, sand sheets, crevasse splays, levees, floodplain units and shallow lakes), which is consistent with a fluvial origin for the succession. The types of architectural elements present and their relationship to each other demonstrate that the Warchha Sandstone preserves a record of a meandering river system that drained the northern margin of Gondwanaland. The dominance of fine-grained (floodplain) facies over gravel-grade (channel-base) facies and the widespread occurrence of large-scale lateral accretion elements supports the interpretation of a high-sinuosity, meandering fluvial system in which channel bodies accumulated via the lateral accretion of point bars but in which the active channels covered only a small part of a broad floodplain at any time instant. Although the regional and temporal distribution of these deposits is complex, in broad terms the lower part is dominated by stacked, multistorey channel bodies, whereas single-storey channel elements isolated in abundant fine-grained floodplain deposits dominate the middle and upper parts of the formation.     

Depositional environments of Lower Pennsylvanian coal-bearing siliciclastics of southeastern Tennessee, northwestern Georgia, and northeastern Alabama, U.S.A.

In the Cumberland Plateaus of southeastern Tennessee, northwestern Georgia, and northeast Alabama, Pennsylvanian strata are siliciclastics containing discontinuous coal seams. Above some of these coal seams, the shale deposits contain fossils of marine or brackish fauna. The entire sequence was deposited in an asymmetric foreland basin and is thickest in the southeast. Within this general trend there are locally thick deposits of lowermost Pennsylvanian Gizzard Group sequences that mark subbasins. Conglomeratic sandstone members of the Gizzard Group are discontinuous and tend to be thicker in the subbasins. In contrast, conglomeratic to sandy units are more laterally continuous in the overlying Crab Orchard Mountains Group. The Pennsylvanian sequence overlies paleosols with subjacent freshwater-neomorphosed shallow marine carbonates, or siliciclastics of the uppermost Mississippian Pennington Formation.A provenance discrimination diagram indicates that Pennsylvanian siliciclastics were derived from an orogenic source. Profile analysis of thick quartzose sandstone sequences indicates facies, architectural elements and bounding surfaces characteristic of braided stream deposits. A dominant southwest paleoflow direction is inferred from paleocurrent indicators in sandy braided and meandering stream deposits.     

Evolution and deposits of a gravelly braid bar, Sagavanirktok River, Alaska

The evolution, migration and deposits of a gravelly braid bar in the Sagavanirktok River, northern Alaska, are described in unprecedented detail using annual aerial photographs, ground‐penetrating radar (GPR) profiles, trenches and cores. Compound braid bars in the Sagavanirktok River form by chute cut‐off of point bars and by growth of mid‐channel unit bars. Subsequent growth is primarily by accretion of unit bars onto their lateral and downstream margins. The upstream ends of braid bars may be sites of erosion or unit bar deposition. Compound braid bar deposits vary in thickness laterally and are thickest in medial sections and near cut banks. Compound bar deposits are typically composed of three to seven sets of simple large‐scale inclined strata, each simple set formed by a unit bar. The simple large‐scale strata contain medium‐scale cross‐strata (from dune migration) and planar strata (from migration of bedload sheets). The upstream and medial parts of compound braid bar deposits show very little vertical variation in grain size, but downstream and lateral margins tend to fine upwards. The deposits are mostly poorly sorted sands and gravels, although sands tend to be deposited at the top of the braid bar, and open‐framework gravels preferentially occur near the top and base of the braid bar. The patterns of braid bar growth and migration, and the nature of the deposits, described from the Sagavanirktok River are generally similar to other sandy and gravelly braided rivers, and consistent with the theoretical braid bar model of Bridge (1993).     

Facies model of a fine‐grained,tide‐dominated delta: Lower Dir Abu Lifa Member (Eocene), Western Desert,Egypt

Existing facies models of tide‐dominated deltas largely omit fine‐grained, mud‐rich successions. Sedimentary facies and sequence stratigraphic analysis of the exceptionally well‐preserved Late Eocene Dir Abu Lifa Member (Western Desert, Egypt) aims to bridge this gap. The succession was deposited in a structurally controlled, shallow, macrotidal embayment and deposition was supplemented by fluvial processes but lacked wave influence. The succession contains two stacked, progradational parasequence sets bounded by regionally extensive flooding surfaces. Within this succession two main genetic elements are identified: non‐channelized tidal bars and tidal channels. Non‐channelized tidal bars comprise coarsening‐upward sandbodies, including large, downcurrent‐dipping accretion surfaces, sometimes capped by palaeosols indicating emergence. Tidal channels are preserved as single‐storey and multilateral bodies filled by: (i) laterally migrating, elongate tidal bars (inclined heterolithic strata, 5 to 25 m thick); (ii) forward‐facing lobate bars (sigmoidal heterolithic strata, up to 10 m thick); (iii) side bars displaying oblique to vertical accretion (4 to 7 m thick); or (iv) vertically‐accreting mud (1 to 4 m thick). Palaeocurrent data show that channels were swept by bidirectional tidal currents and typically were mutually evasive. Along‐strike variability defines a similar large‐scale architecture in both parasequence sets: a deeply scoured channel belt characterized by widespread inclined heterolithic strata is eroded from the parasequence‐set top, and flanked by stacked, non‐channelized tidal bars and smaller channelized bodies. The tide‐dominated delta is characterized by: (i) the regressive stratigraphic context; (ii) net‐progradational stratigraphic architecture within the succession; (iii) the absence of upward deepening trends and tidal ravinement surfaces; and (iv) architectural relations that demonstrate contemporaneous tidal distributary channel infill and tidal bar accretion at the delta front. The detailed facies analysis of this fine‐grained, tide‐dominated deltaic succession expands the range of depositional models available for the evaluation of ancient tidal successions, which are currently biased towards transgressive, valley‐confined estuarine and coarser grained deltaic depositional systems.

豫西荥巩——新密煤田太原组、山西组的沉积环境和聚煤规律

荥巩和新密煤田是豫西北部的两个相邻煤田。主要含煤地层为晚古生代晚石炭世太原组和早二叠世山西组,总厚100—150m;下石盒子组及晚二叠世的上石盒子组在本区仅偶含薄煤层。太原组位于含煤岩系最底部,为碳酸盐岩和碎屑岩交替沉积,灰岩形成于清澈、温暖、浅水的陆表海潮下环境,碎屑岩则为潮道和潮间带为主的潮道、潮坪沉积。太原组含有6—7层薄煤层,形成于咸水或半咸水的泥炭沼泽中。山西组几乎全由碎屑岩组成,下部发育本区的主要可采煤层二1煤。二1煤以下层位为潮坪和横向与之共生的潮道、潮沟及河口潮汐砂脊沉积,二1煤以上为河流作用为主的三角洲沉积,三角洲由北向南进积到半咸水的海湾中。二1煤形成于海退时期,它们堆积在滨海平原的淡水泥炭沼泽中,其厚度变化及发育程度主要受成煤前沉积环境控制,但在本区西部构造较复杂处,煤层厚度受后期构造影响较大。沉积环境对煤层原生厚度的影响主要表现在潮坪和废弃的潮道、潮沟、河口潮汐砂背沉积物之上,煤层发育好,而在二1煤之下有活动的潮道及河口潮汐砂脊发育时,煤层较薄或不发育。     

测井曲线在杭东勘查区煤炭普查煤岩层对比中的应用

杭东普查区煤层产状平缓,构造简单,但由于含煤地层为陆相沉积,煤层层数多、厚度、间距变化大,沉积岩相变化快、大范围内缺乏稳定的对比标志层,因此煤岩层对比是本区勘查需要重点解决的难题。通过对比杭东普查区与邻区200余孔的测井资料,分析煤岩层在各种测井曲线的异常特征与异常组合规律,确定了对煤岩层对比有重大意义的标志层,如延长组与上覆延安组的典型视电阻率异常分界;延安组在高视电阻率曲线上的“树杆”状凸起特征;安定组视电阻率曲线近直线的低值形态;4-1煤在视电阻率曲线上呈现出的“斜坡”状或“刀”状高异常,以及在自然伽玛曲线上的“凹坑”特征;侏罗系中统直罗组的高伽马异常,等等。这些典型特征保证了该区煤岩层对比可靠性,为提交优质地质勘查报告发挥了重要作用。

靖远煤田宝积山-红会矿区外围赋煤特征及勘查方向研究

靖远煤田宝积山、红会矿区含煤地层为中侏罗统窑街组,煤炭资源较丰富。由于多年开采,资源面临枯竭,解决资源接续问题已成当务之急。通过对区内主要控煤构造白土梁一马饮水复式向斜的展布方向和分布范围、F1h断层特征和煤系地层层序的研究．预测研究区有可采煤层存在．且煤层埋藏深度在1200～2000m。通过分析宝积山、红会两矿区赋煤地层及构造特征,认为研究区与两矿区应属同一山间聚煤坳陷,成煤环境为河湖沼泽相,岩相旋回以河流相开始,泛湖相结束,煤层位于旋回中上部,煤系地层薄,煤层层数少、厚度大,含煤性好,资源储量丰度大。根据已知矿区地质条件,结合以往地质工作程度的差别,提出宜采用不同的勘查方法分区分段开展地质找煤工作。

白布井田充水因素分析

通过对白布井田水文地质资料的分析研究,认为浅部6上、6中、7号煤层开采时充水水源为顶板进水的长兴组岩溶裂隙水、含煤地层裂隙水、滑坡体中的孔隙水;充水通道主要为裂隙、岩溶管道、导水裂隙带、断层带。井田深部低于白布河水位的各煤层除受上述充水水源影响外,也受河水的影响。开采东北、东南角深部28、33号煤层时,局部还会受下部茅口组岩溶水充水水源的影响。井田属以裂隙、孔隙含水层充水为主,水文地质条件中等的煤矿床。     

Facies and architecture of a coarse-grained alluvial-dominated incised valley fill: a case study from the Oligocene Gebel Ahmar Formation,Southern Tethyan-shelf (northern Egypt)

Exposures of multistorey, alluvial deposits from the Oligocene Gebel Ahmar Formation in the Cairo-Suez province (north Eastern Desert, Egypt) show the architecture of an up to 35 m thick continuously prograding fluvial/alluvial filling of an incised valley. The Oligocene base level fall resulted in cannibalization of the Eocene bedrock. Subsequent baselevel rise created accommodation space that was filled by deposition of four stacked storeys: lower storeys (1-2) of low sinuosity sandy braid plains and upper storeys (3-4) of gravelly braid plain. These braid plains were sourced from exposed Upper Cretaceous-Eocene and Paleozoic-Lower Cretaceous siliciclastic successions to the south. These successions dominate the Galala-Araba inverted structures. The sandy braid plain channel belts mainly downstream accretion (DA), downstream oblique accretion(DLA), lateral accretion (LA), sandy bedforms (SB), channel (CH), and Hollow (HO) elements, while the gravelly braid plain consists mainly of gravel bars and sheets (GB), gravel-sandstone foresets (GSF), gravel-sand couplets (GSC), and scour pool filling (SPF) architectures. Incised valley incision is potentially linked to a global drop of sea level caused by glaciation, although hinterland tectonism (i.e. Late Cretaceous-Paleogene tectonic inversion and Late Eocene-Oligocene crustal updoming in the source terrains) as well as Late Oligocene-Miocene rifting play a significant role in the subsequent filling. The hinterland tectonism as well as the climate controls the sediment supply. The understanding of the nature of the Oligocene incised valley fill helps in the constrain potential down depositional dip hydrocarbon reservoirs in Nile Delta, East Mediterranean basins, and similar settings in passive continental margins.     

甘肃北山地区下白垩统含煤地层沉积盆地及含煤性研究

通过对已完成勘探工作的吐鲁—驼马滩盆地和公婆泉盆地的资料分析研究,结合岩石学特征,对沉积旋回、沉积环境分析,认为下白垩统含煤沉积盆地是在印支运动及其以前发生的历次运动形成的复杂结晶基底上形成的内陆型沉积盆地,以NE向和NW向构造为主。含煤地层为下白垩统老树窝群下岩组,为一套内陆河流—沼泽碎屑岩含煤建造,旋回结构较为明显,属河流相序含煤建造的旋回结构。煤层多,厚度变化较大,煤层结构为较复杂含煤系数在5%~10%之间,煤质以褐煤为主。     

内蒙古贺兰山煤田二道岭矿区直罗组成煤环境分析

二道岭矿区侏罗系的成因属鄂尔多斯中生代盆地西缘的陆相碎屑沉积,岩石地层自下而上为富县组、延安组、直罗组和安定组。以往认为鄂尔多斯盆地的侏罗系延安组为含煤岩系,其他均为不含煤的地层,在近几年来的勘查中,发现直罗组也存在具有一定分布面积的可采煤层,笔者通过直罗组岩石露头、钻孔岩心和测井曲线的分析研究,划分了直罗组沉积相,并探索了直罗组的聚煤规律,对煤层进行了预测。研究认为,直罗组属典型的河流相沉积,进一步可细分为河床亚相、河漫滩亚相和漫滩沼泽亚相。煤层形成于漫滩沼泽亚相,富煤带的展布受控于河床亚相砂体。     

东胜煤田北部延安组沉积体系及聚煤特征

鄂尔多斯盆地延安组在全盆地发育,是盆地内最重要的含煤、油、气地层之一,依据大量的钻井、测井资料,运用沉积学的方法,对东胜煤田艾来五库沟-台吉召延安组沉积体系及聚煤特征进行了分析。研究认为延安组为辫状河、曲流河及辫状河三角洲沉积,沉积微相主要发育有辫状河体系的河床滞留沉积及心滩、河漫滩和河漫沼泽沉积;曲流河体系的河床滞留沉积、边滩、天然堤、河漫滩、河漫沼泽和河漫湖泊沉积;辫状河三角洲体系的分支河道、天然堤和河漫沼泽沉积等。辫状河及曲流河垂向上表现为下粗上细的间断性正韵律或正旋回,为典型的河流二元结构特征。聚煤特征分析认为,辫状河和曲流河体系河漫沼泽环境是有利成煤场所,由于河道的冲刷、下切作用,辫状河道和曲流河道形成的煤层厚度较小、侧向连续性差;三角洲体系的三角洲平原是有利的成煤带,其煤层具有厚度较大、结构较为简单、分布范围较广、连续性较好的特征。
