近年来我国发现大气田的地质特征和存在问题

2001年以来我国天然气勘探事业发展迅速,探明储量快速增长,大气田发现速度加快。大气田主要分布在六大气区:鄂尔多斯气区、四川气区、塔里木气区、柴达木气区、松辽气区、珠江口气区。总结了大气田烃源岩、储层和圈闭方面的特点,即:中国天然气勘探指导理论已进入“多元论”时代,有机气以煤成气为主,烃源岩热演化各阶段皆可形成大气田; 大气田在碎屑岩储层、碳酸盐岩储层和火山岩储层均有分布,以碎屑岩储层为主,碳酸盐岩储层次之; 圈闭类型以构造－岩性复合型为主,少量为构造圈闭。分析了大气田烃源岩、储层、成藏方面存在的问题,认为这些问题的解决将极大地有利于天然气勘探的进一步开展。

近年来，烃源岩生烃热模拟实验与生烃动力学研究主要采用封闭体系。然而，在某些地质条件下，烃源岩所处的地质环境更接近于开放体系。应用美国加里福尼亚州理工学院环境能源研究中心多冷阱热解气相色谱仪，结合Kinetics生烃动力学专用软件，对取自东营凹陷的1块ES3页岩生油岩在开放体系条件下进行了生烃动力学研究。结果表明，该生油岩C1-5、C13^ 、C6-12及C1^-生成活化能分别为：238～339、205～268、222～272和251～285kJ／mol。在此基础上，结合利津洼陷埋藏史与受热史，对烃源岩生烃史、生成烃类油气比等成烃特征进行了研究。本研究为生烃动力学方法在油气评价中的应用提供了一个范例。

烃源岩催化酯生烃动力学研究——以东营凹陷沙河街组三、四段烃源岩为例

烃源岩生烃动力学广泛应用于含油气盆地烃源岩评价与勘探中。为模拟低成熟烃源岩的实际沉积环境,实验选取了抽提有机质后的东营凹陷下第三系沙河街组三、四段烃源岩为矿物催化剂,以十八烷酸甲酯为模型化合物,在高压下做矿物低温催化脂肪酸酯脱羧生烃动力学实验。求取了化学反应的动力学参数,并分析了烃源岩层段的pH值与Eh值。结果表明,矿物对脂肪酸酯的脱羧生烃具有明显的催化作用,用连串反应模型处理脂肪酸酯的水解反应基本上为一级反应,而生烃反应则基本上为零级反应。认为对于同一类型的烃源岩,其所处的氧化还原环境对有机质的生烃有较大的影响;而对于不同的烃源岩,矿物的组成则起着非常重要的作用。

A numerical investigation of bedrock groundwater recharge and exfiltration on soil mantled hillslopes

Here we use Richards Equation models of variably saturated soil and bedrock groundwater flow to investigate first-order patterns of the coupling between soil and bedrock flow systems. We utilize a Monte Carlo sensitivity analysis to identify important hillslope parameters controlling bedrock recharge and then model the transient response of bedrock and soil flow to seasonal precipitation. Our results suggest that hillslopes can be divided into three conceptual zones of groundwater interaction, (a) the zone of lateral unsaturated soil moisture accumulation (upper portion of hillslope), (b) the zone of soil saturation and bedrock recharge (middle of hillslope) and (c) the zone of saturated-soil lateral flow and bedrock groundwater exfiltration (bottom of hillslope). Zones of groundwater interaction expand upslope during periods of precipitation and drain downslope during dry periods. The amount of water partitioned to the bedrock groundwater system a can be predicted by the ratio of bedrock to soil saturated hydraulic conductivity across a variety of hillslope configurations. Our modelled processes are qualitatively consistent with observations of shallow subsurface saturation and groundwater fluctuation on hillslopes studied in our two experimental watersheds and support a conceptual model of tightly coupled shallow and deep subsurface circulation where groundwater recharge and discharge continuously stores and releases water from longer residence time storage.     

On the contribution of groundwater to streamflow in laterite catchments of the Darling Range,south-western Australia

In deeply weathered laterite catchments of the Darling Range in south-western Australia, the direct contribution (i.e., discharge) of permanent groundwater to streamflow has long been considered as minor. Instead, downslope shallow throughflow was thought to dominate, generating more than 90% of streamflow. We used a chemical hydrograph separation approach to estimate annual groundwater discharge for three catchments over periods of up to 39 years, and found that direct groundwater contributions to streamflow were far more variable across catchments and through time than has previously been acknowledged. The estimated proportion of annual streamflow sourced directly from groundwater ranged from 0 to 93% and was related linearly to the size of the groundwater discharge area in the catchment valley floor. In contrast, contributions from shallow sources including shallow throughflow varied primarily and linearly with annual rainfall. However, the response to rainfall was “amplified” in a predictable way by the size of the groundwater discharge area, consistent with the variable source area concept. We derived a functional relationship between catchment annual rainfall-runoff ratio and groundwater discharge area and successfully applied this to a further four catchments, inferring that the results were broadly applicable across the Darling Range. The implications for an improved understanding of streamflow generating processes in the study region, and for laterite catchments generally, are discussed.     

Hydrograph separation using tracers and digital filters to quantify runoff components in a semi‐arid mesoscale catchment

Chemical hydrograph separation using electrical conductivity and digital filters is applied to quantify runoff components in the 1,640 km² semi‐arid Kaap River catchment and its subcatchments in South Africa. A rich data set of weekly to monthly water quality data ranging from 1978 to 2012 (450 to 940 samples per site) was analysed at 4 sampling locations in the catchment. The data were routinely collected by South Africa's national Department of Water and Sanitation, using standard sampling procedures. Chemical hydrograph separation using electrical conductivity (EC) as a tracer was used as reference and a recursive digital filter was then calibrated for the catchment. Results of the two‐component hydrograph separation indicate the dominance of baseflow in the low flow regime, with a contribution of about 90% of total flow; however, during the wet season, baseflow accounts for 50% of total flow. The digital filter parameters were very sensitive and required calibration, using chemical hydrograph separation as a reference. Calibrated baseflow estimates ranged from 40% of total flow at the catchment outlet to 70% in the tributaries. The study demonstrates that routinely monitored water quality data, especially EC, can be used as a meaningful tracer, which could also aid in the calibration of a digital filter method and reduce uncertainty of estimated flow components. This information enhances our understanding of how baseflow is generated and contributed to streamflow throughout the year, which can aid in quantification of environmental flows, as well as to better parameterize hydrological models used for water resources planning and management. Baseflow estimates can also be useful for groundwater and water quality management.
