Prediction methods of spudcan penetration for jack-up units

Jack-up units are extensively playing a successful role in drilling engineering around the world, and their safety and efficiency take more and more attraction in both research and engineering practice. An accurate prediction of the spudcan penetration depth is quite instrumental in deciding on whether a jack-up unit is feasible to operate at the site. The prediction of a too large penetration depth may lead to the hesitation or even rejection of a site due to potential difficulties in the subsequent extraction process; the same is true of a too small depth prediction due to the problem of possible instability during operation. However, a deviation between predictive results and final field data usually exists, especially when a strong-over-soft soil is included in the strata. The ultimate decision sometimes to a great extent depends on the practical experience, not the predictive results given by the guideline. It is somewhat risky, but no choice. Therefore, a feasible predictive method for the spudcan penetration depth, especially in strata with strong-over-soft soil profile, is urgently needed by the jack-up industry. In view of this, a comprehensive investigation on methods of predicting spudcan penetration is executed. For types of different soil profiles, predictive methods for spudcan penetration depth are proposed, and the corresponding experiment is also conducted to validate these methods. In addition, to further verify the feasibility of the proposed methods, a practical engineering case encountered in the South China Sea is also presented, and the corresponding numerical and experimental results are also presented and discussed.     

三个文蛤家系双列杂交设计在两种环境下的配合力及杂种优势分析

A 3×3 complete diallel cross comprising three families of the clam Meretrix meretrix(P1, P2 and P3) was used to determine the combining ability of parental families and heterosis of F1 under indoor and openair environments for growth traits. Analysis of variance for shell length and whole body weight indicated highly significant cross effects, environment effects and the interaction of cross by environment. General combining ability(GCA) and specific combing ability exhibited great variation among crosses and between two environments. Pooled over environments, P2 was the top combiner among the three parental families for both traits studied. The cross of P1 and P3 had the highest SCA. Additionally, significant reciprocal effects were observed. For individual environment, about half of the crossbred combinations showed favorable Mid-parent heterosis(MPH)(1%) for the shell length and whole body weight. Our data has shown that non-additive genetic and reciprocal effects constituted the major sources of genetic variation for both shell length and whole body weight, which indicates that crossbreeding among selective families could further explore the heterotic effects.     

大别—苏鲁超高压榴辉岩中高钛石榴子石的成分特征及其与金红石包裹体的成因联系

石榴子石是榴辉岩中的基本造岩矿物。本文对苏鲁地体中的毛北榴辉岩和大别地体中的双河榴辉岩中的石榴子石进行了研究。结果显示,石榴子石都表现出中心“富”钛特征,即石榴子石颗粒的中心部位的TiO₂含量（0.10%~0.50%）明显高于正常榴辉岩中石榴子石的钛含量(TiO₂ 一般<0.1%)。另外,在石榴子石中心部位含有大量金红石及其它钛矿物包裹体,其定向分布特征揭示其出溶成因模式。计算结果显示,出溶金红石的原始石榴子石大约含1.7% TiO₂,揭示其超深源特征。此外,在石榴子石中发现了一颗TiO₂含量达8%~9%的钙铝榴石,具超深源成因特征。因此,本文认为超钛钙铝榴石也是超高压变质作用的标志矿物。

关于金刚石钻进规程参数合理配合的分析研究

机械钻速、钻头进尺和每米钻探成本通常称之为是钻探工程的主要技术经济指标。这些技术经济指标均与选用的钻头、所用钻进规程参数和操作技术紧密相关。选用的钻头应与所钻地层的硬度、研磨性（可钻性）相适应。操作技术主要取决于司钻人员的技术、经验和水平。而钻进规程参数的选取和确定及其合理配合则是非常重要的一个因素,不可忽视。提出了临界钻进规程的概念。临界规程是一条红线,不可逾越,否则就会发生事故。正常钻进规程时,钻压和钻头转速应该合理配合,冲洗液量宜保证岩粉处于正常规程状态,以得到理想的钻探工程技术经济指标。建议根据功率表读数变化来调整钻压和钻头转速的合理配合,利用流量计监控孔底的冲洗液数量,严格控制临界规程的形成,把经验打钻和科学打钻结合起来。     

北淮阳东段卢镇关群和佛子岭群地层含矿性地球化学评价

卢镇关群和佛子岭群广泛分布于北淮阳成矿带内,但是对其含矿性研究一直较为薄弱。文章通过对卢镇关群和佛子岭群成矿元素的地球化学特征研究,评价地层含矿性。成矿元素富集系数(K)分析表明卢镇关群和佛子岭群各组中Mo元素均富集,W、Pb、Ag、Cu元素也存在不同程度的富集,存在潜在成矿可能;成矿元素后期叠加强度(D)分析表明本区的Mo、Ag、Cu等元素存在不同程度的后期叠加作用;成矿元素变异系数(CV)分析表明本区成矿元素具有一定的成矿潜力。对卢镇关群和佛子岭群成矿能力评序得出最优势矿种为Mo元素,并且卢镇关群和佛子岭群是北淮阳钼矿的理想矿源层,为区内钼矿提供了成矿物质。成矿元素与主微量元素的相关性分析表明Cu、W、Ag、Pb、Zn等元素受碎屑岩特征和氧化还原环境控制。

马扎拉Au-Sb矿床和沙拉岗Sb矿床是藏南金锑成矿带中典型的造山型矿床。马扎拉Au-Sb矿床中矿体以含金辉锑矿石英脉的形式产于下中侏罗统陆热组地层中,主要组成矿物有自然金、辉锑矿、石英和碳酸盐矿物;沙拉岗Sb矿床中矿体主要以辉锑矿石英脉的形式产于下白垩统多久组地层和辉长岩体中,主要组成矿物为辉锑矿、辰砂、锑华、石英和少量碳酸盐矿物。在两个矿床的矿脉石英和辉锑矿中均发现有三类原生和假次生包裹体:水溶液包裹体、CO2-水溶液包裹体和有机包裹体。流体包裹体显微测温结果显示:马扎拉Au-Sb矿床的成矿温度为160～280℃,沙拉岗Sb矿床的成矿温度为140～240℃。He-Ar同位素分析显示马扎拉Au-Sb矿辉锑矿石英脉矿石中辉锑矿和石英以及赋矿地层中沉积层状硫化物中黄铁矿的流体包裹体均具有低的3He/4He比值,分别为0. 01382～0. 05642Ra和0. 03353～0. 08744Ra,40Ar/36Ar比值具有比较大的变化范围,分别为346. 8～4770. 1和349. 4～2689. 1;沙拉岗Sb矿床中辉锑矿样品的3He/4He比值为0. 02385～0. 11488Ra,40Ar/36Ar比值变化小,为300. 6～537. 5。与藏南Au-Sb成矿带中造山型Au矿床成矿流体中含一定量的幔源挥发份相对比,马扎拉AuSb矿床和沙拉岗Sb矿床成矿流体中均无幔源流体的参与,马扎拉Au-Sb矿床成矿流体为壳源变质流体与改造型饱和大气水形成的混合流体;沙拉岗Sb矿床成矿流体以改造型饱和大气水为主,并有壳源变质流体的加入。     

桂东北平乐县沙子煌斑岩年代学及锆石Hf同位素特征

正在中生代,华南地区经历了印支与燕山两期构造事件,并完成了由特提斯构造域向太平洋构造域的转换,构造应力场也由总体的挤压变为拉伸体制(Jia et al., 2004)。然而华南中生代构造属性还存在着较大分歧,对华南地区中生代岩石成因及构造背景的认识也尚存争议(周新民,2003)。南岭被认为是华南中生代构造体制转换的转换区(Shu et al.,2009),桂东北地区位于南岭西段,岩浆活动频繁,
