准噶尔盆地新生代构造应力对石炭纪火山岩构造裂缝发育的控制

构造裂缝的发育对改善储层的储渗条件有着重要的作用,特别是火山岩这种非传统储层,构造裂缝的发育是其成为有效储层的必要条件。本文主要借助构造应力场有限元数值模拟这一成熟的方法对准噶尔盆地石炭纪火山岩构造裂缝的发育状况进行预测。其两个主要的步骤是首先对区域构造应力场进行模拟计算,然后结合岩石的强度指标判断构造裂缝的发育状况。通过对准噶尔盆地地质背景和构造演化的分析,明确了新生代构造应力场的的决定性作用和石炭纪火山岩的分布区域(划分出六个区域),建立了数值模拟的计算模型、确定了边界条件与载荷。通过二维有限元数值模拟(应用Ansys软件)得到了新生代盆地应力场的分布特征和应力值。结合岩石强度指标,对火山岩构造裂缝(张裂缝和剪裂缝)的发育进行了预测并圈出相应的区域,主要为盆地西北缘、中央坳陷中部、滴西1东部,彩参2周缘、大井-将军庙等地区,对石炭纪火山岩的油气勘探战略选区, 优化勘探部署具有重要指导意义。     

东准噶尔滴西地区石炭系火成岩岩相特征及分布预测

含油气火成岩储层的研究为石油勘探开拓了更广阔的前景。东准噶尔滴西地区石炭系火成岩气藏是克拉美丽气田的主体部分,位于陆梁隆起东南部的滴南凸起西端。根据钻井取心、薄片观察及成像测井数据,对滴西地区石炭系的火成岩岩性进行了识别和类型划分; 结合测井、地震等资料,在单井相划分的基础上,以井震结合为方法,建立了不同岩相的地震相模式,并对其不同特征进行了分析; 通过建立地质-地震对应关系,运用时间切片、波形分类等地震属性分析技术对研究区岩相分布进行了预测。研究结果表明滴西地区火成岩发育火山通道相、爆发相、溢流相、火山沉积相和侵入相五种岩相; 研究区火山岩岩相分区性明显,整体呈现西北部以中-基性溢流相为主,中部以爆发相和火山沉积相为主、东南部以中-酸性溢流相为主的分布特点,滴西18井区为独立的侵入岩体,为浅成侵入相。     

塔北隆起二叠纪岩浆岩产状的地震解释及其侵位模式

塔北隆起西部发育大面积岩浆岩,岩浆岩发育产状的研究不仅对岩浆岩油气藏勘探具有重要意义,而且对塔北隆起碳酸盐岩油气藏研究具有重要意义。本文利用钻井和地震资料,提出塔北隆起二叠纪岩浆岩岩性主要为玄武岩、流纹岩、辉绿岩、正长岩、花岗岩和凝灰岩。岩浆岩发育模式与构造作用密切相关,在英买力低凸起北部地区,主要发育一条逆冲断层,地层受构造作用扰动较少,岩浆岩主要为玄武岩,通过近于垂直的通道到达地表; 英买2地区,构造挤压作用在盐上形成大量的构造裂缝,岩浆岩侵入其中,形成辉绿岩侵入体; 哈拉哈塘地区构造变形微弱,岩浆岩通过垂直的火山通道到达地表,在地表形成了一层平行分布的喷发岩; 而在塔北隆起的中部,由于受拉张作用的影响,地壳发育一定的减压熔融,形成中酸性岩浆,岩浆侵位产生了大量的中酸性侵入体和喷出岩。     

Attenuation characteristics of ground motions in northern China

Four recently developed attenuation models are calibrated by using a very limited amount of strong motion data recorded in China. The research shows that the attenuation characteristics of the earthquake shaking in northern China are similar to those in the western US. The supporting evidence includes Q factors, preliminary results of kappa values, stress drop, shear wave velocity profile in the shallow earth crust, areas enclosed by the isoseismals of Modified Mercalli Intensity V. From these comparisons of different attenuation models, it is recommended that the Crouse and McGuire spectral attenuation model could possibly be used for northern China.

Models for Polar Haze Formation in Jupiter's Stratosphere

We present coupled chemical-microphysical models for the formation, growth, and physical properties of the jovian polar haze based on a gas-phase photochemical model for the auroral regions developed by A. S. Wong et al. (2000, Astrophys. J.534, L215-217). In this model, auroral particle precipitation provides an important energy source for enhanced decomposition of methane and production of benzene and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). We find that at high altitude, A₄ (pyrene, a hydrocarbon consisting of four fused aromatic rings) should homogeneously nucleate to form tiny primary particles. At lower altitudes, A₃ (phenanthrene) and A₂ (naphthalene) heterogeneously nucleate on the A₄ nuclei. These particles subsequently grow by additional condensation of A₂ on the nucleated particles and by coagulation and eventually sediment out to the troposphere. We run different cases of the aerosol microphysical model for different assumptions regarding the fractal dimension of aggregate particles formed by the coagulation process. If coagulation is assumed to produce spherical particles (of dimensionality 3), then their mean radius at altitudes below the 20-mbar pressure level is computed to be approximately 0.1 μm. If coagulation produces fractal aggregates of dimension 2.1, then their equivalent mean radius below the 20-mbar level is much larger, of order 0.7 μm. Aggregates with fractal dimensions between 2.1 and 3 form with equivalent mean radii between 0.1 and 0.7 μm. In every case, mean particle radius is found to decrease with increasing altitude, as expected for a system approximately in sedimentation-coagulation equilibrium. The predicted range of altitudes where aerosol formation occurs and the mean size to which particles grow are found to be generally consistent with observations. However, our calculations cannot presently account for the large amount of total aerosol loading inferred by M. G. Tomasko et al. (1986, Icarus65, 218-243). We suggest that the primarily neutral chemical pathway to heavy hydrocarbon and PAH formation proposed by Wong et al. (2000) may proceed too slowly to produce a sufficient amount of condensible material. Inclusion of ion and ion-neutral reactions in the chemical scheme could potentially lead to the prediction of higher PAH production rates, higher nucleation rates, and greater aerosol loading, producing better agreement with the observations.     

Laboratory studies on the reactions between Chlorine,Sulfur Dioxide,and Oxygen: Implications for the Venus Stratosphere

The title reaction was studied by photolyzing mixtures of Cl₂ and SO₂ with and without O₂ present in an atmosphere of N₂, using Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometry to monitor reactants and products. In the absence of oxygen, sulfur dioxide is quantitatively converted to sulfuryl chloride. With 10 to 150 Torr O₂ present H₂SO₄ is produced as well as SO₂Cl₂. When a number of speculative reactions inferred from these experiments are added to a published model for Venus stratospheric chemistry, it emerges that SO₂Cl₂ is a key reservoir species for chlorine and that the reaction between Cl and So₂ provides an important cycle for destroying O₂ and converting SO₂ to H₂So₄. The modified model could provide a possible solution to the photochemistry of the Venus stratosphere if the mixing ratio of chlorine on Venus were as high as 8 ppm.

Perturbation of regional ocean tides due to coastal dikes

The tidal regime modeling system for ocean tides in the seas bordering the Korean Peninsula is designed to cover an area that is broad in scope and size, yet provide a high degree of resolution in coastal development areas, including the Saemangeum area in the eastern Yellow Sea and the Ariake Sea in Japan, where serious environmental problems have occurred after the completion of interior tidal dikes. With this simulation system, we have estimated the changes in tidal regime due to barriers at Saemangeum and Isahaya Bay in the Ariake Sea. Some results in terms of perturbations in tidal elevations due to the construction of coastal dikes are presented and discussed.
