Influence of fracture anisotropy on ground water ages and chemistry,Valley and Ridge province,Pennsylvania

Model ground water ages based on chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and tritium/helium-3 (³H/³He) data were obtained from two arrays of nested piezometers located on the north limb of an anticline in fractured sedimentary rocks in the Valley and Ridge geologic province of Pennsylvania. The fracture geometry of the gently east plunging fold is very regular and consists predominately of south dipping to subhorizontal to north dipping bedding-plane parting and east striking, steeply dipping axial-plane spaced cleavage. In the area of the piezometer arrays, which trend north-south on the north limb of the fold, north dipping bedding-plane parting is a more dominant fracture set than is steeply south dipping axial-plane cleavage. The dating of ground water from the piezometer arrays reveals that ground water traveling along paths parallel to the dip direction of bedding-plane parting has younger ³H/³He and CFC model ages, or a greater component of young water, than does ground water traveling along paths opposite to the dip direction. In predominantly unmixed samples there is a strong positive correlation between age of the young fraction of water and dissolved sodium concentration. The travel times inferred from the model ages are significantly longer than those previously calculated by a ground water flow model, which assumed isotropically fractured layers parallel to topography. A revised model factors in the directional anisotropy to produce longer travel times. Ground water travel times in the watershed therefore appear to be more influenced by anisotropic fracture geometry than previously realized. This could have significant implications for ground water models in other areas underlain by similarly tilted or folded sedimentary rock, such as elsewhere in the Valley and Ridge or the early Mesozoic basins.

Isotope geochemistry of ore fluids for the Dongsheng sandstone-type uranium deposit, China

The Dongsheng sandstone-type uranium deposit is one of the large-sized sandstone-type uranium deposits discovered in the northern part of the Ordos Basin of China in recent years. Geochemical characteristics of the Dongsheng uranium deposit are significantly different from those of the typical interlayered oxidized sandstone-type uranium ore deposits in the region of Middle Asia. Fluid inclusion studies of the uranium deposit showed that the uranium ore-forming temperatures are within the range of 150–160℃. Their 3He/4He ratios are within the range of 0.02–1.00 R/Ra, about 5–40 times those of the crust. Their 40Ar/36Ar ratios vary from 584 to 1243, much higher than the values of atmospheric argon. The δ18OH2O and δD values of fluid inclusions from the uranium deposit are -3.0‰– -8.75‰ and -55.8‰– -71.3‰, respectively, reflecting the characteristics of mixed fluid of meteoric water and magmatic water. The δ18OH2O and δD values of kaolinite layer at the bottom of the uranium ore deposit are 6.1‰ and -77‰, respectively, showing the characteristics of magmatic water. The δ13CV-PDB and δ18OH2O values of calcite veins in uranium ores are -8.0‰ and 5.76‰, respectively, showing the characteristics of mantle source. Geochemical characteristics of fluid inclusions indicated that the ore-formation fluid for the Dongsheng uranium deposit was a mixed fluid of meteoric water and deep-source fluid from the crust. It was proposed that the Jurassic-Cretaceous U-rich metamorphic rocks and granites widespread in the northern uplift area of the Ordos Basin had been weathered and denudated and the ore-forming elements, mainly uranium, were transported by meteoric waters to the Dongsheng region, where uranium ores were formed. Tectonothermal events and magmatic activities in the Ordos Basin during the Mesozoic made fluids in the deep interior and oil/gas at shallow levels upwarp along the fault zone and activated fractures, filling into U-bearing clastic sandstones, thus providing necessary energy for the formation of uranium ores.     

鄂尔多斯盆地西南地区蓟县系古地温演化历史及岩浆热事件的影响

深层油气成藏机理研究的首要前提是要明确烃源岩的热演化历史,这对区域油气勘探潜力的评价有着重要的指导意义。鄂尔多斯盆地西南缘蓟县系烃源岩在中生代以来的热演化史有何特征,是否受早白垩世岩浆热作用的影响,影响程度如何等问题的不明确,制约着人们对该地区中元古界烃源岩的生烃潜力的认识及进一步勘探开发的思路。通过对安口—铜城地区出露的三叠系、侏罗系及铜城岩体进行磷灰石裂变径迹、磷灰石/锆石(U-Th)/He测试,结合镜质组反射率数据,分别恢复了该地区沉积岩在中三叠世以来和侵入岩在早白垩世以来的冷却历史,结合岩浆岩体的空间分布特征和泥页岩镜质组反射率,估算蓟县系烃源岩古地温。热年代学模拟表明,蓟县系烃源岩自中生代以来先后经历了三叠纪—侏罗纪的正常埋深增温,达到了生烃温度门限,自早白垩世约130～110 Ma开始冷却,其中个别样品表现为自始新世中期至45 Ma微弱加速冷却,中新世晚期至8 Ma以来快速冷却。研究表明,中晚侏罗世是鄂尔多斯盆地西南缘蓟县系生烃的关键时期,烃源岩处于主生油温度范围,之后的早白垩世晚期岩浆侵入事件的热作用范围有限,对蓟县系烃源岩古地温的影响仅发生在局部地区。鄂尔多斯盆地西南缘...     

渭河盆地地热水水溶氦气成因与来源研究

渭河盆地地热水中含有丰富的水溶氦气,通过采集分析渭河盆地地热水水溶氦气成分和He同位素研究了氦气的成因与来源。分析结果表明,渭河盆地地热水水溶氦气体积分数普遍超过0.1%,最高达到3.395%。地热水水溶氦气的3He/4He比值介于(3.61±0.29)×10-8～(7.80±0.23)×10-7之间,氦气的R/Ra值小于1.00。天然气的4He/20Ne比值研究一致表明,渭河盆地地热水水溶氦气主要为壳源成因,混有微量的幔源氦。区域地质资料分析表明,富铀花岗岩放射性成因的氦气是渭河盆地地热水水溶氦气的主要来源,大面积出露于秦岭造山带以及隐伏于渭河盆地南缘新生代沉积层下的富铀花岗岩体为渭河盆地地热水水溶氦气的主要气源岩。     

大贵州滩二叠系-三叠系界线附近锶同位素组成特征

位于贵州南部的“大贵州滩”上,二叠系—三叠系界线附近地层为一套连续的发育完整的碳酸盐岩。二叠系顶部主要为厚层生物屑泥粒灰岩,而三叠系底部则主要为钙质微生物骨架灰岩及厚层粒泥灰岩。穿过二叠系—三叠系界线的取样累计厚度81m,二叠系和三叠系大致各占一半的厚度,共取样品91件,n(87Sr)/n(86Sr)值变化在0.707269～0.707409之间,平均为0.707327,低于现代海水的锶同位素比值的平均值（0.7090737）。锶同位素比值变化曲线表明从晚二叠世末期到早三叠世初期,同位素比值虽小幅度的起伏波动频繁,但总体上没有明显变化,三叠系底部的平均值（0.707330）略高于二叠系顶部的平均值（0.707323）。大贵州滩晚二叠世末至早三叠世初锶同位素组成的总体演化趋势与扬子台地及世界其它地方同时期的锶同位素组成的演化趋势（呈急剧的上升）不同,造成这种状况的原因可能是在全球事件控制的大背景下,由于大贵州滩特殊的环境条件,陆源物质对其影响小,导致了壳源锶对锶同位素组成的制约作用减弱,因而锶同位素组成未发生明显变化。     

渤海湾盆地晚古生代煤系烃源岩及其生烃性评价

黔西南地区早-中三叠世沉积岩相与Ladinian-Carnian期大海侵

扬子地块主体在中三叠世晚期出现了一次大规模的海退(即著名的拉丁期大海退)，但是位于扬子地块西南缘的黔西南地区在同期却出现了一次大规模的海侵，与之对应的沉积岩相也由以杨柳井组为代表的浅水碳酸盐岩沉积变为以竹竿坡组为代表的-套富含大量浮游生物和游泳生物的深水瘤状暗色灰泥岩和代表最大海泛面的瓦窑组黑色页岩和深海灰岩沉积。之后，扬子台地被一套深水陆源硅质碎屑浊积岩和一套巨厚的陆相含煤碎屑沉积岩覆盖，从此结束了其自晚元古代以来长达630Ma的碳酸盐岩台地生长演化历史。对比分析表明，黔西南地区这次大规模海侵与全球海平面变化同步，相当于全球海平面变化曲线的一级旋回Upper Absaroka旋回(megaeycle)的第三个二级超级旋回中的第一个三级旋回，具有全球对比性。     

渤中坳陷油气成藏规律

渤海坳陷下第三系砂岩普遍含有两类油气包裹体，即原生油气包裹体和次生油气包裹体，它们分别记录了本区两次油气运移、聚集成藏过程。次生油气包裹体个体大、分布广、含量明显高于原生油气包裹体，其主要充填分布在次生溶蚀孔隙和裂隙中。均一温度测量、包裹体成分和生物标志化合物分析结果综合表明，次生油气包裹体记录的第二次油气运移是区内最主要的一次油气聚集成藏过程，其油气来源于下第三系湖相泥质烃源岩。本区次生溶蚀孔隙是在早第三纪晚期构造抬升过程中，由大气淡水淋滤作用形成的。结合地质演化特征分析认为，渤中坳陷目前油气勘探的重点应是浅部下第三系地层，而不是深部其他地层。早第三纪晚期构造运动、沉积
