A Quantitative Evaluation of Shale Gas Content in Different Occurrence States of the Longmaxi Formation: A New Insight from Well JY-A in the Fuling Shale Gas Field,Sichuan Basin

Comprehensive quantitative evaluation of shale gas content and the controlling factors in different occurrence states is of great significance for accurately assessing gas-bearing capacity and providing effective well-production strategies. A total of 122 core samples from well JY-A in the Fuling shale gas field were studied to reveal the characteristics of S_1 l shale,15 of which were selected to further predict the shale gas content in different occurrence states, which are dependent on geological factors in the thermal evolution process. Geological parameters were researched by a number of laboratory programs, and the factors influential in controlling shale gas content were extracted by both PCA and GRA methods and prediction models were confirmed by the BE method using SPSS software. Results reveal that the adsorbed gas content is mainly controlled by TOC, Ro, SSA, PD and pyrite content, and the free gas content is mainly controlled by S_2, quartz content, gas saturation and formation pressure for S_1 l in well JY-A. Three methods, including the on-site gas desorption method, the empirical formula method, and the multiple regression analysis method were used in combination to evaluate the shale gas capacity of well JY-A, all of which show that the overall shale gas content of well JY-A is in the range of 2.0–5.0 m~3/t and that the free gas ratio is about 50%, lower than that of well JY-1. Cause analysis further confirms the tectonics and preservation conditions of S_1 l in the geological processes, especially the influence of eastern boundary faults on well JY-A, as the fundamental reasons for the differences in shale gas enrichment in the Jiaoshiba area.     

江苏丹阳千年“沸井”的地质成因与形成机理

通过采用无机和有机化学分析、可控源音频大地电磁测深、高密度电阻率和氡气测量等地质地球化学和地球物理方法,对江苏丹阳九里村六口相距30～200 cm不等的"沸腾"了2000多年的古井及其周围地质环境进行了详细勘查,研究发现:①"沸井"沸腾的气体主要为CO_2,此外,还有微量氡气和总挥发性有机物(TVOC),这些气体组分在临近的非"沸井"的民用水井中均未检出。②"沸井"水样中游离二氧化碳、钙、铁、锰、总溶解固体、总硬度、重碳酸根、稀土元素等含量均明显高于"沸井"周围其他民用水井和湖水。③"沸井"井水温度(夏天约19℃)与周围其他民用水井基本一致,未见异常情况。④"沸井"地下深部存在玄武岩岩体和茅东断裂的次级断裂,在这些断裂地表出露处氡气含量明显高于其他地方。⑤"沸井"的存在与茅东活动断裂有着密切的联系,"沸井"中沸腾的气体主要来源于地壳深部或上地幔,气体沿断裂带上升而逸出地表。⑥六口"沸井"井水味道各不相同,系因各"沸井"井水中游离二氧化碳、钙、铁、锰等含量及pH值不一所致。"沸井"井水"三清三浊",主要与井水中铁含量高低有关,三口铁含量高的井水因暴露于空气中氧化为三价铁沉淀,是井水浑浊的主要原因。     

对福建李坊重晶石矿床成因的新认识——来自矿石构造、矿物学和流体包裹体的证据

福建李坊重晶石矿床是东南沿海地区发现的一个大型独立重晶石矿床,已有30余年的开采历史,在沉积重晶石矿床中占有重要地位,然而对该矿床的成因和成矿时代仍众说纷纭。本文通过对福建李坊重晶石矿床中矿石组构的野外调查、电子探针分析和重晶石的流体包裹体测温,取得如下发现和认识:①首次在重晶石矿石中发现了管孔状构造、角砾状构造、蜂窝状构造等热水喷流通道相沉积构造;②首次在重晶石矿石中发现具有热水成因指示意义的同生钡冰长石矿物;③140个重晶石的流体包裹体均一温度值为89.3～208.5℃,均值为162.7℃,表明李坊重晶石矿床属于低温热水沉积矿床;综合矿石构造、矿物学和流体包裹体测温等证据,提出李坊重晶石矿床为"白烟囱型"热水沉积矿床的新认识,为华南地区早古生代热水沉积矿床的研究和找矿勘探提供了重要新资料。     

Seismic Activity in the Himalayan Orogenic Belt and Its Related Geohazards

Himalayan orogenic belt is the highest and largest continental collision and subduction zone on the Earth. The Himalayan orogenic belt has produced frequent large earthquakes and caused several geohazards due to landslides and housing collapse, having an impact on the safety of life and property along a length of over 2500 km. Here we took three earthquake clusters as examples, which occurred at Nepal Himalaya, eastern Himalayan syntaxis and western Himalayan syntaxis, respectively. Here we calculated the earthquake locations and fault plane solutions based on the waveform data recorded by seismic stations deployed in source areas by the Institute of Tibetan Plateau Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences. We found that at the Nepal Himalayan, the Main Himalayan Thrust is the major tectonic structure for large earthquakes to occur. At the eastern Himalayan syntaxis, most earthquakes are of the reverse or strike-slip faulting. The major tectonic feature is the combination of the NE-dipping thrust with the southeastern escape of the Tibetan plateau. At the western Himalayan syntaxis, intermediate-depth earthquakes are active. These observations reveal the geometry of the deep subduction of the continental plate with steep dipping angle.     

湖南临湘虎形山矿区蚀变地球化学过程研究

湖南省临湘市虎形山钨矿是近年来新发现的大型钨铍矿床。矿区内围岩蚀变类型较多,主要有云英岩化、硅化、绢云母化、碳酸盐化、绿泥石化等。为了探究矿区围岩蚀变与成矿的关系,对蚀变硅质板岩分别作了主微量元素分析,通过元素相关性分析探究了各元素的迁移特征,并探讨了主要蚀变过程中出现的矿化类型以及矿化过程中一些金属矿物的生成顺序;利用标准化Isocon图解法,对围岩蚀变过程中组分的带入带出进行质量平衡计算。研究结果表明,板岩中组分迁移受绢云母化影响强烈,其中云英岩化与成矿关系最为密切,碳酸盐化与钨矿化也有一定联系。通过对湘东北地区、虎形山矿区冷家溪群和上地壳W、Cu、Pb、Zn、As、Sb丰度值的对比,反映了矿区地层富含成矿物质,但并未给成矿提供物质来源。

蟒岭地区西部地处秦岭腹心,位于不同构造单位结合处,构造变动剧烈,岩浆活动频繁,多数矿产与中酸性岩体息息相关。综合物探工作通过地面高精度磁测、激发极化法和高精度重力测量三种地球物理综合测量方法,开展了研究区的磁场、重力场、极化率和电阻率的分布特征研究。深入分析了地质和地球物理特征的异同,并结合物性工作总结了中酸性岩体与地层的差异,了解了深部隐伏岩体的信息,圈定了岩体在地表的位置,推断出地下深层空间的地质结构,为进一步查找岩体以及其他与之有关的工程勘查活动提供借鉴,为该地区及类似地质背景下隐伏岩体定位预测提供了可靠的方法。     

甘肃金川矿区构造应力场与构造演化研究

文章统计分析了金川矿区内地层和侵入体中的节理构造,对矿区内的共轭剪节理进行配套、分期,综合区域构造演化史后分析了矿区构造应力场。研究表明,金川矿区从新太古代到古生代至少受到4期古构造应力的作用。第一期构造应力场为NS向的挤压,由阴山陆块与鄂尔多斯陆块碰撞形成华北古陆西部陆块引起。第二期构造应力场为NE-SW向的挤压,与华北克拉通东、西陆块碰撞拼合并参与Columbia超大陆拼合事件有关;其后阿拉善陆块与华南陆块参与Rodinia超大陆拼合事件,应力场持续作用。第三期构造应力场为近NS向的挤压,由祁连洋不断向北俯冲引起。第四期构造应力场为NNE-SSW向的挤压,与祁连造山带发生的强烈造山运动有关。     

元素地球化学揭示的长江中游鄱阳湖地区中更新世以来粉尘堆积的物源特征及其环境意义

位于长江中游的鄱阳湖地区深受东亚季风影响,因其特殊的地理、地貌与水文、水系特征,自中更新世以来随着冬季风的加强,在大姑组、九江组砾石层之上风成堆积广泛发育。该区域中、上更新统表现为网纹红土、均质红土和下蜀黄土的独特沉积序列,厘清这三套独特沉积序列的物质来源对于我们认识东亚季风演化及其区域环境响应至关重要。本文选择了长江中游鄱阳湖地区10个典型剖面,基于<20μm颗粒组分的元素地球化学特征,研究了该地区中、上更新统粉尘堆积的特点,并将其与黄土高原西峰黄土和东秦岭黄土做了对比分析。研究认为,长江中游鄱阳湖地区这套独特的沉积序列,元素特征基本相似,具有贫Co、Pb,富Zr、Hf,低Eu/Eu^*(0.53~0.62)、LaN/YbN(4~8)、Ta/Zr(0~0.006)、Nb/Zr(0~0.09),高Y/Ho(28~30)、Zr/Hf(36~48)等特点,与黄土高原与东秦岭黄土有显著区别。基于Hf-Th-Co、Th-Sc-Zr/10和Th-Sc-La蜘蛛图投影分析,鄱阳湖地区第四纪粉尘物质的源岩接近于石英岩类,为被动大陆边缘构造背景下的产物,显著区别于黄土高原与东秦岭黄土(源岩接近于页岩,形成于大陆岛弧构造背景)。进一步分析认为,网纹红土、均质红土的母质均与区域下蜀黄土类似,推测它们均来自于其冬季风上风方向的长江或赣江的古河谷漫滩,这套独特的沉积序列是第四纪以来长江中游现代格局的水系贯通后,冬季风增强,吹蚀大江大河广阔的古河谷漫滩而形成的区域粉尘堆积的结果;是湿热的亚热带季风区对于中更新世以来在轨道尺度上冬夏季风均加强的背景下独特的区域响应。
