The Seismic Induced Soft Sediment Deformation Structures in the Middle Jurassic of Western Qaidamu Basin

Intervals of soft-sediment deformation structures are well-exposed in Jurassic lacustrine deposits in the western Qaidamu basin. Through field observation, many soft-sediment deformation structures can be identified, such as convoluted bedding, liquefied sand veins, load and flame structures, slump structures and sliding-overlapping structures. Based on their genesis, soft-sediment deformation structures can be classified as three types: seismic induced structures, vertical loading structures, and horizontal shear structures. Based on their geometry and genesis analysis, they are seismic-induced structures. According to the characteristics of convoluted bedding structures and liquefied sand veins, it can be inferred that there were earthquakes greater than magnitude 6 in the study area during the middle Jurassic. Furthermore, the study of the slump structures and sliding-overlapping structures indicates that there was a southeastern slope during the middle Jurassic. Since the distance from the study area to the Altyn Mountain and the Altyn fault is no more than 10km, it can be also inferred that the Altyn Mountain existed then and that the Altyn strike-slip fault was active during the middle Jurassic.     

The 12 May Wenchuan earthquake-induced landslide lakes: distribution and preliminary risk evaluation

The Wenchuan earthquake, measured at M _s 8.0 according to the China Earthquake Administration, occurred at 14:28 on 12 May 2008 in the Sichuan Province of China. It brought overwhelming destruction to eight provinces and cities. Landslides and rock avalanches triggered by the earthquake produced 257 landslide lakes which were distributed along the fault rupture zone and river channels. The authors traveled to the disaster zone immediately after the earthquake to examine some of the features of the debris dams and performed a quick evaluation of the potential for outburst of earthquake-induced landslide lakes for the purpose of disaster relief. The preliminary analysis indicated that the landslide lakes could be classified as those exhibiting extremely high risk, medium risk, and low risk according to field observations and remote sensing, to determine material composition, dam structure, dam height, maximum water storage capacity, and size of the population potentially affected area. The failure risk of 21 debris dams were evaluated as follows: one dam with an extremely high danger risk, seven dams with a high danger, five dams with a medium danger, and eight dams of low danger. More concern was given to the Tangjiashan Lake and different scenarios for the potential sudden failure of its dam were assessed. The risk evaluation result was accepted in full, by the earthquake disaster relief office. A successful emergency dam treatment for risk reduction was planned, based on our assessments, and these measures were quickly carried out. According to this research, the earthquake destabilized the surrounding mountains, resulting in a prolonged geohazard for the area. Landslides and debris flows will continue to develop for at least 5 to 10 years after the Wenchuan earthquake and will produce additional dammed lakes. Recommendations and plans for earthquake–landslide lake mitigation were proposed, based on past successful practices.

灵山岛背来石剖面发育了非常典型的湖泊风暴岩和风暴作用。非常典型的丘、洼状构造发育在火山岩底部的砂页岩中。丘状构造呈典型的丘状,规模不一,小者高数厘米,宽数十厘米;大者高2. 4m,宽12. 48m;具有典型的二元结构：底部为灰色或浅灰色的砂砾岩或砂岩;顶部为深灰色 黑色泥岩、页岩或薄层砂岩互层。砂砾岩分选磨圆均很差,砾石主要为片麻岩,直径多在数毫米到3~4cm,呈悬浮式胶结。砾岩底部为凹凸不平的侵蚀面,砾岩向丘状构造两翼变薄甚至尖灭,与下部侵蚀面呈典型的角度交切。丘状构造的上部的细粒层有四个要素：①上凸形态;②丘状交错层理;③下细上粗的二元结构;④底部具侵蚀面。洼状构造也具有典型的洼状,规模也不一,小者高数厘米,宽十余厘米;大者高2. 4m,宽18. 70m,具有下细上粗的（反)二元结构,但底部多为深灰 灰黑色、甚至黑色的泥岩、页岩或夹薄层砂岩,上部多为砂岩、砂砾岩或砾岩。完整的洼状构造也有四个要素：①下凹形态;②或有洼状交错层理;③下细上粗的（反)二元结构;④底部具侵蚀面。丘状构造与洼状构造在空间上相邻共生,但不是同时形成的,一个连续的完整序列是丘状构造形成在先,洼状构造形成在后,其间由一个粒度较细的薄层分隔开（风暴最高水位时的“静”水沉积)。基于实验和丘洼构造参数计算了风暴浪的相关参数。     

Characteristics of stable isotope and hydrochemistry of the groundwater around Qinghai Lake, NE Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, China

The integrated use of isotopic and hydrochemical tracers is an effective approach for investigating complex hydrological processes of groundwater. The stable isotope composition and hydrochemistry of the groundwater around Qinghai Lake were investigated to study the sources and recharge areas. Most of the groundwater points lie close to the local meteoric water line, indicating that the ground waters were recharged primarily from precipitation in the basin, though it had undergone varying degrees of evaporation. The hydrochemical analysis showed that the groundwater was mainly freshwater and that the hydrochemical type was Ca–Mg–HCO₃; the results of the boomerang envelope model and solutes calculated indicated that the groundwater chemistry was mainly controlled by carbonate dissolution around Qinghai Lake. The recharge altitudes of groundwater were relatively low (at 3,400 m.a.s.l) on the northern shore of Qinghai Lake (locations G1 and G5), relatively high (above 3,900 m.a.s.l) on the southern shore (locations G3 and G4), and approximately 3,700 m.a.s.l on the western shore (location G2). Furthermore, groundwater samples from the fault zone (e.g., G3) would be recharged in part from fissure or inter-basin water. High salinity of groundwater on the western shore (location G2) was related with the evaporite dissolution, the groundwater is unsuitable for drinking, and the drinking water should be improved and enhanced in this area. Knowledge of our research can promote effective management of water resources in this cold and semiarid region and add new data to global groundwater database.

塔河油田奥陶系生物扰动型储集层的三维重构及启示意义*

塔河油田奥陶系鹰山组和一间房组生物扰动型储集层发育。在岩心观测的基础上,通过典型岩样切片、偏光显微镜、阴极发光显微镜和X射线显微镜观测以及XRD测试分析,对研究区奥陶系生物扰动型储集层的发育特征进行了研究。研究区奥陶系可识别的生物扰动分为2类,分别是 Thalassinoides和Helminthopsis,但以Thalassinoides最为发育,扰动体积可达90%;生物潜穴充填物以白云石颗粒为主,可达90%以上;宿主围岩为泥晶灰岩。随着塔河油田早—中奥陶世海侵、海退沉积环境的变化,生物潜穴的发育呈现出明显的周期性演化规律。在综合提取生物扰动型储集层特征信息的基础上,以沉积学和遗迹学理论为指导,应用3ds Max软件对研究区奥陶系生物扰动型储集层进行了三维重构。该研究虚拟再现了塔河油田生物扰动型储集层的内部结构与微观特征,不仅为后续研究这类储集层的宏观非均质性与微观各向异性、定量表征该类储集层微观尺度上的渗流特征奠定了基础,而且还为完善塔河油田奥陶系油藏模型提供了一种新思路。     

青岛灵山岛南背来石下白垩统大型砂脉的发现及其形成动力学研究

青岛灵山岛南背来石剖面发育了两层大型不规则砂脉。其主要特征如下：上层大型不规则砂脉呈分散团块状顺黄褐色凝灰质泥岩分布,断续延伸约60 m,宽数米;有17个侵入砂团块。砂团块多呈浅灰色,主要岩性为砂岩、砂砾岩;砂团块直径在1~2 m。砂团块的形态非常复杂,侧向极易尖灭或突然中止。边界与围岩多突变,某些地方与节理发育方向相同。下层大型不规则砂脉浅灰色,主要底部为砂岩、顶部为砂砾岩,呈透镜状顺层产于灰黑色薄层砂泥岩中,均一团块状和边缘含大量泥砾;厚18 m,宽度和高度不详;上层砂脉发育在浅湖中;下层大型不规则砂脉发育在三角洲前缘。与此同时还探讨了上层砂脉的形成的动力学机制,建立了顺层砂脉的形成深度与液化层的深度之间的关系式（h=0.29H）。该公式可以用来预测顺层的侵位深度和寻找砂脉,为含油气盆地砂脉储层预测提供理论依据和新方法。通过流化公式计算获得了形成上层砂脉的流体上侵速度为1.26 m/s。通过本文的论述,进一步为理解灵山岛地区下白垩统的沉积环境和沉积动力学特征提供了新的岩石学证据。     

驼路沟喷气沉积型钴(金)矿床的地质-地球化学

驼路沟矿床是容矿于震旦－寒武纪富钠火山－沉积岩系中的钴（金）矿床。矿床地质－地球化学特征,矿体的产态,矿石结构构造以及金属矿物的标型表明,驼路沟钴（金）矿床主要与震旦－－寒武纪海底喷气沉积成矿作用有关,在加里东和晚华力西－印支碰撞造山过程中,喷气沉积型矿体被构造改造,并导致金在局部地段进一步富集。元素地球化学研究揭示,Au,As,Pb,Cu,Zn,Mo,Co是圈定含矿层的化探异常元素组合,而Co-Ni-Au-Pb-Mo-As组合异常可以指示矿体。建议在矿床勘查的初期注意可能出现于喷气沉积成矿中心附近的铜钴矿。     

惠民凹陷古近系砂岩储层物性控制因素评价

影响惠民凹陷古近系砂岩储集层物性主要因素有沉积条件、压实、碳酸盐胶结和溶蚀作用。沉积条件对物性的影响主要表现在对原生孔隙的发育程度和对溶蚀、胶结等成岩作用的控制方面;压实作用对孔隙度的影响主要表现在埋藏早期或碳酸盐胶结程度低的阶段,埋深每增加1 000 ｍ,孔隙度降低约8%~9%;胶结作用对储集层性质影响与成岩演化阶段有关,成岩演化程度越高,胶结对物性的影响越大;溶蚀作用对储集层性质改善很大,产生的次生孔隙最大可达20%。溶蚀作用在宏观上受区域构造背景和生油洼陷平面位置控制,断层较发育和临近生油中心（临南洼陷）的南部斜坡带和中央隆起带溶蚀最发育;微观上受岩石的粒度、分选及杂基含量控制,粒度越粗、分选越好、杂基越少的砂岩溶蚀作用越强。
