Experimental Simulation Study of the Dominant Enrichment Area of Terrestrial Organic Matter in the Shallow-Delta Sedimentary System of the Yacheng Formation in the Qiongdongnan Basin

Shallow-delta sedimentary systems receive both terrestrial and marine organic matter. As oil and gas exploration activities determine that the source rocks of the deep-water area of the Qiongdongnan Basin, northern South China Sea, are generally rich in and even dominated by terrestrial organic matter, this has led many researchers to examine the rules governing terrestrial organic matter enrichment in shallow-delta sea sedimentary systems. However, the deep burial of source rocks in deep-water areas and the relatively small amount of drilling undertaken have greatly restricted the study of these rules. In this study, the ‘forward modeling’ research method was used to observe and analyze the deposition and preservation of terrestrial organic matter through flume experiments, where the depositional results were carefully depicted and sampled. The total organic carbon content of selected samples was measured and when combined with qualitative observations and quantitative comparison results, the dominant enrichment areas of terrestrial organic matter were identified. The experimental results show that the overbank parts of the delta front, the dune countercurrent surface, the low-lying parts, the delta front slope area and the shallow-prodelta sea area are where terrestrial organic matter is predominantly enriched. This provides an important basis and guidance for the prediction of the development areas of marine source rocks with terrestrial input in the deep-water areas of the Qiongdongnan Basin.     

Numerical simulation of deep-hole resistivity anomaly caused by drilling construction in Xinfengjiang geoelectric station

The Xinfengjiang reservoir in Guangdong Province, is one of the large reservoirs that have triggered earthquakes of magnitude greater than 6. Numerous earthquakes have occurred since the impoundment of the reservoir, making it one of the most active seismic zones in south China. In 2015, a set of deep-hole resistivity anomalies was observed in the Heping geoelectric station in Dongyuan county, located near the Xinfengjiang reservoir. After a field investigation, we found that a planned well drilling construction of new measuring channels was being carried out during that corresponding period of time. After careful comparison and analysis on the basis of the collected raw data, we had a reason to believe that drilling construction, rather than the inducement of the Xinfengjiang reservoir, was the main culprit for those unusual georesistivity values. So as to verify the above conjecture, we constructed a series of 3D finite element models based on the geological and hydrological information around Heping station and analyzed the drilling disturbances, respectively. Some significant conclusions were finally drawn according to the precise numerical simulation. This study gives a good example by combining numerical simulation with engineering practice as a way to understand the root cause of georesistivity anomalies in reality.     

贵州六盘水地区早二叠世岩石地层之再认识

贵州六盘水地区早二叠世发育一套层序完整、相区分异明显的沉积记录。通过普立幅等1∶5万区域地质调查和前人对该区地层划分对比研究,认为其岩石地层划分仍有商榷之处。为了更好的反映研究区早二叠世岩石地层的时空展布关系,建立区域地层格架,本文将区内早二叠世地层拟定为三个岩石地层单位及三个非正式岩石地层单位:即龙吟组、包磨山组、平川组和薄板灰岩、鱼塘灰岩、肖坪灰岩。该成果对研究NW向裂陷槽早二叠时期在六盘水地区的充填序列、岩相古地理特征等提供了新的基础资料。     

基于3D-DIC的砂岩裂纹扩展及损伤监测试验研究

裂纹监测对岩石损伤演化的认识至关重要。为研究岩石裂纹扩展及损伤变形特性,开展了含不同倾角（0°～90°）预制裂隙的标准细黄砂岩样的单轴压缩试验。利用三维数字图像相关技术（3D-DIC）获取岩样三维空间坐标下的应变分布,并结合声发射从光学与声学的角度监测了裂纹的扩展演化。由此提出了一种裂纹主应变的计算方法,定量表征岩石劣化的损伤变量D值。最后,探讨了由声发射与损伤变量D值确定岩样特征强度的影响因素。结论如下：（1）裂纹主应变反映了岩样受荷过程中同源裂纹在时间上的变化速率与空间上的扩展趋势,能较好地表征岩石的开裂行为;（2）声发射适用于确定岩样的起裂应力,不适用于损伤应力的确定,损伤变量D值所确定的起裂应力滞后于声发射,但适用于损伤应力特征值的确定;（3）结合声发射与DIC技术确定的归一化起裂应力范围为0.63～0.94、归一化损伤应力的范围为0.83～0.99;（4）预有裂隙会影响岩石的材料力学性能。随着倾角的增加,岩石的起裂应力、损伤应力及峰值应力呈增长的趋势,由于难以形成局部应变场聚集,裂纹的萌生与起裂更加困难。结果表明,3D-DIC技术的利用可以提高对岩石开裂行为的理解,对岩石的损伤监测与判识更有重要的意义。

利用X射线粉晶衍射和电感耦合等离子体质谱法研究江西西华山钨矿床中黑钨矿的矿物学特征及指示意义

目前针对江西大型黑钨矿石英脉型钨矿床西华山的黑钨矿矿物学特征及指示意义研究较少。本文利用X射线粉晶衍射分析和电感耦合等离子体质谱分析技术对黑钨矿晶体结构、化学成分特征及空间变化规律开展研究。获得黑钨矿晶胞参数为a0=0.477 nm,b0=0.573 nm,c0=0.498 nm,β=90°21',属于锰钨铁矿,与前人得出的黑钨矿晶胞参数略有不同,代表不同元素对铁锰的类质同象替代。主要化学成分WO3、Fe O、Mn O的含量在空间上具有一定的变化规律,反映了成矿物质的运移特征。微量元素Sc、Y、Nb、Ta在垂向含量变化大,说明矿液运移具有复杂性。稀土总量ΣREEs较高(397.16×10-6~1071.11×10-6),具有强烈的Eu负异常,具重稀土富集左倾的"躺椅式"球粒陨石标准化配分模式。将西华山、盘古山、淘锡坑、大吉山4个典型矿床的黑钨矿稀土元素特征进行对比,反映产在花岗岩内接触带的黑钨矿的稀土总量(ΣREEs)相对最高,分馏最明显;产在花岗岩内及其外接触带的黑钨矿的稀土总量(ΣREEs)相对较低,分馏程度最不明显;而产在花岗岩外接触带的黑钨矿的稀土总量(ΣREEs)有高有低,分馏程度有强有弱。因此,黑钨矿的化学成分变化特征,可以有效地指示成矿物质空间运移特征、物质来源和矿床成因。     

西沙石岛生物礁的矿物组成及其环境指示意义

通过对西科1井岩心碳酸盐岩样品进行矿物组成分析, 来研究礁体的发育过程和古海洋环境的变化.初步研究结果表明: 西科1井岩心碳酸盐岩的矿物由低镁方解石、高镁方解石、文石和白云石组成.矿物组成特征表明, 井深35.4 m处为一重要的地层界面或环境变化界面.在岩心(井深0~748 m)中共识别出5个白云岩层, 其中上新统莺歌海组一层(井深: 289.3~312.3 m, 厚约23 m), 上中新统黄流组三层(分别位于井深: 373.3~412.7 m, 厚约39.4 m; 424.7~450.6 m, 厚约26.1 m; 469.70~564.96 m, 厚约95.2 m), 中中新统梅山组一层(井深: 615.20~636.96 m, 厚约21.7 m).各层的白云岩化程度不尽相同, 5层白云岩中白云石矿物含量的最大值在79.3%~100%之间.生物礁的发育主要受控于古海洋环境的变化, 与古气候变化有关的海平面升降间接地控制了岛礁碳酸盐岩的白云岩化作用.石岛西科1井中的5层白云岩应该是在较长时间稳定环境条件下发育而成, 主要应该是蒸发泻湖渗透回流作用下早期形成的方解石类碳酸岩白云岩化的结果, 但并不排除混合水白云岩化作用的可能性.
