Mesoproterozoic–Neoproterozoic transition: Geochemistry, provenance and tectonic setting of clastic sedimentary rocks on the SE margin of the Yangtze Block, South China

The SE margin of the Yangtze Block, South China is composed of the Mesoproterozoic Lengjiaxi Group and the Neoproterozoic Banxi Group, with Sinian- and post-Sinian-cover. A geochemical study was undertaken on the Mesoproterozoic–Neoproterozoic clastic sediments in order to delineate the characteristics of the sediment source and to constrain the tectonic development and crustal evolution of South China.Our results show that the Mesoproterozoic clastic sediments have a dominant component derived from a metavolcanic-plutonic terrane, with a large of mafic component. There is a minor contribution of mafic rocks and older upper crustal rocks to the provenance. Strong chemical weathering in the source area occurred before transport and deposition. The provenance for the Neoproterozoic clastic sediments was most likely old upper continental crust composed of tonalite–granodiorite-dominated, tonalite–granodiorite–granite source rocks, which had undergone strong weathering and/or recycling. A minor component of older K-rich granitic plutonic rocks and younger volcanogenic bimodal rocks is also indicated.Based on the regional geology, the geochemical data and the inferred provenance, the Mesoproterozoic Group is interpreted as a successive sedimentary sequence, deposited in an extensional/rifting back-arc basin, adjacent to a >1.80 Ga continental margin arc-terrane. The progressive extension/rifting of the back-arc basin was followed by increasing subsidence and regional uplift during continental marginal arc-continent (the Cathaysian Block) collision at 1.0 Ga caused the deposition of the Neoproterozoic Group into back-arc to retro-arc foreland basin. Therefore, the depositional setting of the Proterozoic clastic sediments and associated volcanic rocks within the back-arc basin reflected basin development from an active continental margin (back-arc basin), with extension or rifting of the back-arc basin, to a passive continental margin.     

赞比亚东北部班韦乌卢地块泛非期以来构造演化的裂变径迹约束

本文利用锆石和磷灰石裂变径迹方法探讨了班韦乌卢地块泛非期以来的主要构造演化时间。为研究班韦乌卢地块的构造活动,本文从班韦乌卢地块中部卡帕图地区的沉积盖层姆波罗科索群的姆巴拉组、萨马组和卡布韦卢马组中采集多件新鲜的岩石样品,并获得5件锆石和2件磷灰石样品裂变径迹分析结果。5件锆石裂变径迹年龄介于575±35～380±22 Ma之间,其峰值年龄组为600～572 Ma和420～390 Ma。2件磷灰石裂变径迹年龄介于59±6～27±4 Ma之间,其峰值年龄组为99～80 Ma和19～11 Ma。它们的峰值年龄组分别对应的主要时代为新元古代的埃迪卡拉纪、早泥盆世、晚白垩世和中新世。对比区域上已有的年龄数据可知,南部非洲地区新元古代的埃迪卡拉纪、早泥盆世和晚白垩世的构造活动是一个区域性的构造事件,仅中新世(19～11 Ma)的构造活动在区域上的表现尚不明确。综合前人成果资料,自泛非构造运动以来,班韦乌卢地块至少经历600～572 Ma、488～441 Ma、420～390 Ma、375～293 Ma、99～80 Ma及19～11 Ma六个构造事件。班韦乌卢地块泛非期以来的构造演化研究程度很低,...     

Toluene sorption behavior on soil organic matter and its composition using three typical soils in China

The effect of soil organic matter (SOM) content and composition on sorption behavior of toluene for fluvo-aquic, red and black soils in China was investigated in batch experiments. Tested SOM was fractionated into two primary sorptive domains (‘soft’ and ‘hard’) to explain the dependence of sorption behavior on SOM composition. All the tested soils exhibited similar sorption kinetics and nonlinear sorption isotherms. Soils with high SOM content possessed a high sorptive capacity. Clay minerals also contributed to the sorptive capacity, especially for fluvo-aquic and red soils with low SOM content. In comparison, after removing most ‘soft’ SOM fraction from soils through hydrogen peroxide treatment, the residual ‘hard’ SOM fraction of three soil samples exhibited a slower sorption rate and a less sorption capacity compared to the untreated soil samples. The nonlinear degree of sorption was positively correlated with the content of ‘hard’ SOM for all soil samples. This is explained by the combined effect of SOM content and the composition on toluene sorption rates, sorption capacity and nonlinear degree of sorption of three typical soils in China.     

Neural networks and their derivatives for history matching and reservoir optimization problems

In geosciences, complex forward problems met in geophysics, petroleum system analysis, and reservoir engineering problems often require replacing these forward problems by proxies, and these proxies are used for optimizations problems. For instance, history matching of observed field data requires a so large number of reservoir simulation runs (especially when using geostatistical geological models) that it is often impossible to use the full reservoir simulator. Therefore, several techniques have been proposed to mimic the reservoir simulations using proxies. Due to the use of experimental approach, most authors propose to use second-order polynomials. In this paper, we demonstrate that (1) neural networks can also be second-order polynomials. Therefore, the use of a neural network as a proxy is much more flexible and adaptable to the nonlinearity of the problem to be solved; (2) first-order and second-order derivatives of the neural network can be obtained providing gradients and Hessian for optimizers. For inverse problems met in seismic inversion, well by well production data, optimal well locations, source rock generation, etc., most of the time, gradient methods are used for finding an optimal solution. The paper will describe how to calculate these gradients from a neural network built as a proxy. When needed, the Hessian can also be obtained from the neural network approach. On a real case study, the ability of neural networks to reproduce complex phenomena (water cuts, production rates, etc.) is shown. Comparisons with second polynomials (and kriging methods) will be done demonstrating the superiority of the neural network approach as soon as nonlinearity behaviors are present in the responses of the simulator. The gradients and the Hessian of the neural network will be compared to those of the real response function.

Fault growth and main controlling factors in deep area of Gaoyou SagEI北大核心CSCD

Study of fault growth in deep area of the Gaoyou Sag has great significance for the understanding of the structural evolution and hydrocarbon accumulation of the Gaoyou Sag. Based on high-precision 3D seismic data, the displacement-length relationship and throw data of faults are integrated to reconstruct the growth of the boundary fault and secondary faults in the eastern deep area of the Gaoyou Sag and controlling factors of the fault growth are discussed by analyzing the tectonic stress field and numerical simulation. This study revealed that the Zhen 2 boundary fault had six segments which grew independently in the Eocene Dainan Period and subsequently linked into four segments in the Eocene Sanduo Period. The Zhen 2 fault growth included two phases: short rapid lateral lengthening initially in Dainan Period, followed by a longer phase of slip accumulation and linkage of segments in the Sanduo Period. The strike of Zhen 2 fault which is widely and gently undulate kept in step with Zhen1 extensional boundary fault that controlled the structural evolution of the Subei Basin. The structure of Zhen 2 fault tips is contributed to interaction of fault segments. Two segments overlapped and linked with its neighbor by relay zone, otherwise the segments kept away from the fault and linked near the tip of the fault which interacting the growth progress. The secondary faults are linked alternatively by segments of NEE strike and EW strike and the segments of NEE strike are developed initially in the Dainan Period. Numerical simulation demonstrated that the extensional direction in the area of secondary faults is parallel to the extensional direction of the region and barely influenced by the Zhen 2 boundary fault. The orientational change of the tectonic stress field between the Paleocene and Eocene led to the linkage of secondary faults, which means that the segments of NEE strike are developed by pre-existing fabrics of the Paleocene and the segments of EW strike linked the NEE segments later in the Eocene. ©, 2015, Science Press.
