The worldwide character of the 1969–1970 impulse of the secular acceleration rate

This paper continues earlier studies to ascertain whether the distribution of the 1969–1970 jump of the secular variation rate has a worldwide character. The geometry of the jump presents some similarities with the geometry of the secular variation itself. We give a new estimation of the westward drift rate and information about spatial and temporal variations of the secular variation field.     

Modele circulaire de source sismique

Résumé On donne l'expression du déplacement dû à la propagation d'une dislocation uniforme partant du centre d'une faille circulaire, avec une vitesse de propagation finie ou infinie. Dans cedernier cas on se trouve dans une situation analogue à celle de la diffraction de Fraunhofer en Optique. Le spectre d'amplitude de l'ondeP est modulé dans son détail par la fonction de Bessel d'ordre1. Quand le rayon du cercle est relativement faible, on retrouve les expressions d'une source ponctuelle, dans lesquelles la densité surfacique de moment intégré est remplacé par le moment sismique total. On met en évidence une fréquence de coupure qui augmente avec la profondeur du foyer et diminue quand le rayon de la faille augmente. On donne enfin une expression du moment sismique total en fonction de l'amplitude spectrale aux basses fréquences.

Summary We have examined the case of the radial propagation of a uniform dislocation and stated in detail the expression of the displacement. The rupture velocity is assumed finite or infinite. The last case shows some analogies with the Fraunhofer diffraction. TheP wave amplitude spectrum is modulated in its detail by theJ ₁ Bessel function. With small values of the radius, one can obtain the displacement by replacing in the expression corresponding to point sources the integral of the moment density by the total seismic moment. The corner frequency increases with the focal depth, and decreased when the fault radius increases. Finally, we give an expression of the total seismic moment deduced from the low frequency spectral amplitude components.

     

柴达木盆地西部地区古近纪与新近纪沉积相

利用数十口井的电性、岩性及分析化验资料，将柴达木盆地西部地区古近纪与新近纪沉积相划分为七种相和亚相：洪积锥、水下冲积扇、河道和泛滥平原、滨湖、浅湖、较深湖和三角洲。沉积相的空间展布概括起来分为三大带：（1）阿尔金山前西段陡坡带洪积锥-水下冲积扇-扇三角洲-河道和泛滥平原-湖相 (2)阿尔金山前中段陡坡带洪积锥-水下冲积扇-湖相；（3）昆仑山前洪积锥-河道和泛滥平原-三角洲相。沉积相不仅影响着碎屑岩的成分和结构，而且也影响其物性与含油性。由洪积锥到水下冲积扇，到河道和泛滥平原，到三角洲，到湖相，石英和胶结物含量逐渐升高，岩屑和杂基含量逐渐降低，分选及磨圆变好，颗粒的粒级变细。浅层以河道和泛滥平原及三角洲相的物性最好，深层以三角洲相的物性最好，次为冲积扇，湖相最差。碎屑岩的油气富集以河道、泛滥平原和三角洲相最好，滨浅湖相油气富集最差。     

Electromagnetic fields in a steel-cased borehole

The development of an electromagnetic numerical modelling scheme for a magnetic dipole in an arbitrary casing segment in an inhomogeneous conductivity background has been difficult, due to the very high electrical conductivity and magnetic permeability contrasts between the steel casing and the background medium. To investigate the effect of steel casing efficiently, we have developed an accurate but simple finite‐element modelling scheme to simulate electromagnetic fields in a medium of cylindrically symmetric conductivity structures. In order to preserve the cylindrical symmetry in the resulting electromagnetic fields, a horizontal loop current source is used throughout. One of the main advantages of the approach is that the problem is scalar when formulated using the azimuthal electric field, even if the casing is both electrically conductive and magnetically permeable. Field calculations have been made inside the cased borehole as well as in another borehole which is not cased. Careful analyses of the numerical modelling results indicate that the anomaly observed in a cross‐borehole configuration is sensitive enough to be used for tomographic imaging.     

Geochemistry and origin of the giant Quaternary shallow gas accumulations in the eastern Qaidam Basin, NW China

This study provided an overview of the geological setting and geochemical characteristics of the Pleistocene shallow gas accumulations in the eastern Qaidam Basin, NW China. The five largest gas accumulations discovered in this region have a combined enclosure area of about 87 km² and 7.9 trillion cubic feet (tcf) of proven gas reserves. The dominance of methane (mostly more than 99.9%) and the δ¹³C and δD values of methane (−68.51 to −65.00‰ and −227.55 to −221.94‰, respectively) suggest that these gases are biogenic, derived from the degradation of sedimentary organic matter by methanogens under relatively low temperatures (<75 °C). A sufficient supply and adequate preservation of organic matter in the Pleistocene sediments was made possible by the lake basin’s high altitude (2600–3000 m), high water salinity (>15% TDS) and strong stratification. The deposition and extensive lateral occurrence of lacustrine – shoreline sands/silts in beach sand sheets and sand bars provided excellent reservoirs for the biogenic gas generated from adjacent rocks. Effective but dynamic gas seals are provided by a combination of factors, such as the intermittent vertical variation in the sediment lithologies, hydraulic trapping due to the mudstone water saturation, the hydrocarbon gradient created as the result of gas generation from potential caprocks, and the presence of a regional caprock consisting of 400–800 m of muds and evaporites. It appears that the most favorable traps for large gas accumulations occur on structural slopes near the major gas kitchen, and the prolific gas pools are often those large gentle anticlines with little faulting complication.
