Distribution characteristics,exploration and development,geological theories research progress and exploration directions of shale gas in China

The shale gas resources in China have great potential and the geological resources of shale gas is over 100×10¹²m³,which includes about 20×10¹²m³ of recoverable resources.Organic-rich shales can be divided into three types according to their sedimentary environments,namely marine,marine-continental transitional,and continental shales,which are distributed in 13 stratigraphic systems from the Mesoproterozoic to the Cenozoic.The Sichuan Basin and its surrounding areas have the highest geological resources of shale gas,and the commercial development of shale gas has been achieved in the Upper Ordovician Wufeng Formation-Lower Silurian Longmaxi Formation in these areas,with a shale gas production of up to 20×10⁹m³ in 2020.China has seen rapid shale gas exploration and development over the last five years,successively achieving breakthroughs and important findings in many areas and strata.The details are as follows.(1)Large-scale development of middle-shallow shale gas(burial depth:less than 3500 m)has been realized,with the productivity having rapidly increased;(2)breakthroughs have been constantly made in the development of deep shale gas(burial depth:3500-4500 m),and the ultradeep shale gas(burial depth:greater than 4500 m)is under testing;(3)breakthroughs have been made in the development of normal-pressure shale gas,and the assessment of the shale gas in complex tectonic areas is being accelerated;(4)shale gas has been frequently discovered in new areas and new strata,exhibiting a great prospect.Based on the exploration and development practice,three aspects of consensus have been gradually reached on the research progress in the geological theories of shale gas achieved in China.(1)in terms of deep-water fine-grained sediments,organic-rich shales are the base for the formation of shale gas;(2)in terms of high-quality reservoirs,the development of micro-nano organic matter-hosted pores serves as the core of shale gas accumulation;(3)in terms of preservation conditions,weak structural transformation,a moderate degree of thermal evolution,and a high pressure coefficient are the key to shale gas enrichment.As a type of important low-carbon fossil energy,shale gas will play an increasingly important role in achieving the strategic goals of peak carbon dioxide emissions and carbon neutrality.Based on the in-depth study of shale gas geological conditions and current exploration progress,three important directions for shale gas exploration in China in the next five years are put forward.     

RELATIVE BRIGHTNESS INDEX AND IT‘S CLIMATIC SIGNIFICANCE FROM LACUSTRINE SEDIMENT OF NAPAHAI LAKE，NORTHWESTERN YUNNAN PLATEAU，CHINA

Information on the palaeoenvironment from Late Pleistocene to Holocene in northwestern Yannan Plateau has been deduced from a study of a 28.81m-long core taken from Napahai Lake.The results from Relative Brightness In-dex(RBI) as well as those from the lithological analyses of bulk sediments,total organic carbon and granulometric analy-ses have been used to reconstruct the environmental and climatic evolution of the area.The ages were provided by three ^14C datings.The record suggested a climate fluctuation between warm-dry and cool-wet from ca.57 to 32ka B.P.which led a shallowing and swamping of the lake.The water level again increased quickly at ca.32ka B.P.,reached itˊs peak during LGM(Last Glacial Maximum,ca.18-20kaB.P.)and remained relative high until ca.15kaB.P.The high wa-ter level at LGM is attributed to cold-wet conditions.The area experienced an abrupt and unstable climatic changes dur-ing the transition period form 15 to 10ka B.P.with a dominated littoral environment.Awarm-dry climate led to the contrac-tion of the lake during the Holocene and reed-swamps became dominant..After a minor wet-cool pulse during the Late Holocene,the modern climate became to be established.     

鲁东前寒武纪岩石地层清理意见

厘定后的鲁东前寒武纪地层分区以王台－五莲为界，分为胶北地层小区和胶南地层小区。胶北地层小区层（岩）序为：晚太古代胶东岩群、早元古代荆山群、粉子山群、芝罘群，震旦纪蓬莱群。胶南地层小区层（岩）序为：晚太古代大山沟岩组，早元古代胶南岩群，震旦系朋河石组。对原胶南群作了重新厘定：原甄家沟组因其岩石属变形变质的二长花岗岩而被废弃；大山沟组绝大部分为变形变质二长花岗岩体，而仅将原划大山沟组一段的部分斜长角闪岩和黑云变粒岩厘定为大山沟岩组，隶属晚大古代；原划邱官庄组底部变质含砾砂岩新建为朋河石组；邱官在岩组和于象岭岩组合称为新义的胶南岩群，荆山群与粉子山群和胶南宕群可能属同时异相沉积变质产物。五莲群与粉子山群为同物异名因而废弃。

基于历史地震数据的地震烈度与人员死亡率相关性研究

基于历史震例数据,通过对不同烈度的人员死亡率的分析发现,人员死亡率与地震烈度存在着正相关关系,即人员死亡率随烈度的增加而增大,不同烈度的人员死亡率有各自的分布区间范围,而通过对相邻烈度的人员死亡率的分析发现,相邻烈度人员死亡率存在着1个数量级的倍数关系,一般在10倍左右,在低烈度区域,倍数关系集中于偏向大于10倍的区间范围;在高烈度区域,倍数关系集中于小于10倍的区间范围。在此结果上,基于地震烈度、震级等因素构建了烈度人员死亡率模型,决定系数R²值为0.8667,拟合结果相对较好,能够为后续基于分烈度人员死亡率的地震人员死亡评估模型提供参考。     

辽代以前北京城址变迁初探

北京城历史悠久,辽代以后的城址位置变迁已基本考据清晰,而对于辽代以前的情况尚存在较多的模糊之处,当前一般认为是起源于广安门一带.重点对辽代以前的三期北京城(前期蓟城、后期蓟城、唐幽州)的城墙位置及变迁时间分别进行了一定的考证.首先对本区的历史自然地理条件进行了一定的分析,据此作为探讨北京城市发展变迁规律的基础.根据地铁施工的地层资料,发现了疑似"蓟丘",结合古文献分析认为本区最早出现的城市——前期蓟城应位于莲花池湖区域,推测后来由于莲花池的出现,大致于公元227—294年之间迁到广安门一带的后期蓟城.分析认为后期蓟城与唐幽州并非以往所认为的前后一致,而是有过扩城.根据前人研究成果及墓志铭中相关的方位记载,对后期蓟城与唐幽州的城墙位置分别进行了推定,对城墙方位发生改变的时间进行了界定,初步得出约在公元752年,时任幽州节度使安禄山进行了一次扩城.

Quantitative assessment of the impact of an inter-basin surface-water transfer project on the groundwater flow and groundwater-dependent eco-environment in an oasis in arid northwestern China

Inter-basin water transfer projects (IBWTPs) can involve basins as water donors and water receivers. In contrast to most studies on IBWTPs, which mainly impact the surface-water eco-environment, this study focuses on the impacts of an IBWTP on groundwater and its eco-environment in a water donor basin in an arid area, where surface water and groundwater are exchanged. Surface water is assumed to recharge groundwater and a groundwater numerical simulation model was constructed using MODFLOW. The model was used to quantitatively evaluate the impact of an IBWTP located in the upstream portion of Nalenggele River (the biggest river in the Qaidam basin, Northwest China). The impact involved decrease in spring flow, drawdown of groundwater, reduction in oasis area, and an increase in species replacement of oasis vegetation in the midstream and downstream of the river. Results show that the emergence sites of springs at the front of the oasis will move 2–5 km downstream, and the outflow of springs will decrease by 42 million m³/a. The maximum drawdown of groundwater level at the front of the oasis will be 3.6 m and the area across which groundwater drawdown exceeds 2.0 m will be about 59.02 km², accounting for 2.71% of the total area of the oasis. Under such conditions, reeds will gradually be replaced by Tamarix, shrubs, and other alternative plant species. These findings have important implications for the optimization of water resource allocation and protection of the eco-environment in arid regions.     

A disaggregation approach for estimating high spatial resolution broadband emissivity for bare soils from Landsat surface reflectance

High spatial resolution land surface broadband emissivity (BBE) is not only useful for surface energy balance studies at local scales, but also can bridge the gap between existing coarser resolution BBE products and point-based field measurements. This study proposes a disaggregation approach that utilizes the established BBE–reflectance relationship for estimating high spatial resolution BBE for bare soils from Landsat surface reflectance data. The disaggregated BBE is compared to the BBE calculated from spatial–temporal matched Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflectance Radiometer emissivity product. Comparison results show that better agreement is achieved over relative homogeneous areas, but deteriorated over heterogeneous and cloud-contaminated areas. In addition, field-measured emissivity data over large homogeneous desert were also used to validate the disaggregated BBE, and the bias is 0.005. The comparison and validation results indicated that the disaggregation approach can obtain high spatial resolution BBE with better accuracy for homogeneous area.
