鄂尔多斯盆地延长期富烃坳陷形成的动力学环境与构造属性

鄂尔多斯盆地丰富的石油资源来自盆地南部中晚三叠世延长期富烃坳陷,其中贡献最大的长7段页状优质烃源岩以富铀、夹多层凝灰岩为特征。延长期大型富烃坳陷具南深北浅的坳陷型结构,内部接受统一的湖相沉积。在富烃坳陷的深湖-较深湖区,为优质烃源岩发育区;亦为烃源岩中较高铀含量(测井高伽马异常)和凝灰岩夹层较厚分布区,在位置上三位一体、彼此交互叠置。盆地上古生界-中侏罗统多层系高热演化区上下同位,早-中侏罗世多期持续沉降区先后叠置,均位于延长期富烃坳陷范围内。综合调查研究揭示,在延长期,特别是长7段沉积期间,各类深部物质上拱挤入构造(如砂岩墙(脉)、泥岩脊和热液碳酸盐岩结核)、同沉积变形构造(如断裂、褶皱、揉皱、滑塌、滑坡等(软)地层变形)和事件沉积(如浊流沉积、震积岩及湖底扇等)发育,主要分布在富烃坳陷深湖-较深湖区。在烃源岩等地层中,检测出多种指示深部热流体活动的岩石矿物和地球化学异常。深部探测显示,在富烃坳陷深部400km以上壳幔各界面呈上拱的结构特征。这表明延长期富烃坳陷和其中优质烃源岩是在构造活动明显、深部作用活跃的地球动力学环境中形成演化的,从深层次揭示了其形成条件与发育环境。延长期富烃坳陷与印支期秦岭造山带的形成演化及其岩浆活动,在空间上相邻、发育时限相当、演化阶段响应、活动兴衰同步,是在华北-扬子两大陆块汇聚碰撞,进而向板内构造环境转换的动力学环境中进行的。延长期富烃坳陷两次较长距离的沉积-沉降中心迁移,是对秦岭碰撞造山环境重大变革始发的响应和纪录。在南北两大陆汇聚碰撞过程中,在仰冲华北板块后陆地带深部积聚的巨量俯冲物质发生熔融和热量转换,促使该区深部物质过饱和聚集、热能及压力超常骤增,形成较小尺度地幔对流,熔融物质与热能上拱,引发地壳表浅层拱张破裂和侧向扩展,于是发生沉降,形成延长期具热-张性特性的富烃坳陷,称其为后陆盆地。后陆盆地与前陆盆地分别位于碰撞造山带两侧仰冲和俯冲板块临山一侧,但其构造属性有质的不同,油气赋存和成藏特征也差别较大。     

Cymrite as mineral clathrate: An overlooked redox insensitive transporter of nitrogen in the mantle

We study the phase relations and mineral chemistry in the systems muscovite–NH₃–N₂-H₂O and eclogite + muscovite–NH₃–N₂-H₂O at 6.3–7.8 GPa, 1000–1200 °C, and oxygen fugacity (fO₂) from ∼IW (Fe–FeO) to ∼ NNO (Ni–NiO) equilibria. The quenched H₂O-bearing fluids differ in nitrogen speciation from NH₃-rich to N₂–rich, and the respective N₂/(NH₃+N₂) ratio varies from <0.1 to ∼ 1. N-bearing K-cymrite is obtained in association with a kyanite-garnet-jadeite ± muscovite ± corundum assemblage in the muscovite–NH₃–N₂-H₂O system and coexists with pyrope-almandine garnet and omphacite in the eclogite + muscovite–NH₃–N₂-H₂O system. The presence of an N-bearing fluid in the studied systems stabilizes the K-cymrite structure. Muscovite does not convert to K-cymrite in the absence of NH₃–N₂-bearing fluid up to 7.8 GPa and 1070–1120 °C. According to FTIR and Raman spectroscopy, K-cymrite in equilibrium with an N-rich fluid can capture a huge amount of nitrogen in cages of its framework, mainly as N₂ molecules at fO₂ ∼NNO and predominantly as NH₃ molecules at fO₂ ∼IW. The storage capacity of K-cymrite with respect to nitrogen increases from 2.9 to 6.3 wt% with increase of fO₂. FTIR spectroscopy of muscovite equilibrated with K-cymrite shows that the clathrate mechanism of nitrogen entrapment by aluminosilicates (as neutral N₂ and NH₃ molecules) is much more efficient than the K⁺ → (NH₄)⁺ substitution. The structure of N-bearing K-cymrite (K,(NH₄⁺))[AlSi₃O₈]·(N₂,NH₃,H₂O) determined using X-ray single-crystal diffraction is very similar to that of H₂O-bearing K- and Ba-cymrites. It includes aluminosilicate layers consisting of double six-membered tetrahedral rings and cation sites statistically occupied with K⁺, Ba²⁺ and (NH₄)⁺ on the six-fold symmetry axis in interlayer space. The N₂ and NH₃ molecules are located near the cage centers and, unlike H₂O molecules, are included in the coordination environment of the cations. Our study confirms that NH₃- and N₂-rich K-cymrite may be stable in metapelites and can act as a redox insensitive carrier of nitrogen to >250 km mantle depths in downgoing slabs. The stability field of N-rich K-cymrite in the presence of an N₂–H₂O–NH₃-bearing fluid is inferred to be P ≥ 4 GPa in metasediments rich in K-feldspar and P ≥ 6 GPa in those containing phengite. As the slab material sinks deeper than 250–300 km where N-bearing K-cymrite may lose stability, the releasing nitrogen may migrate to metal-saturated mantle and become stored there in γ−Fe, Fe₃C, metal melt, or even iron nitride phases.

The reflection of regular and irregular waves by a partially perforated caisson breakwater on a step bed

This study examines the reflection of regular and irregular waves from a partially perforated caisson breakwater located on a step bed. The step bed is treated as an idealized rubble mound foundation. Based on the linear potential theory, an analytical solution is developed to calculate the reflection coefficient of the structure subjected to regular waves. The matched eigenfunction expansion method is used for the solution. The regular wave method is also extended to irregular waves using a linear transfer function. The calculated results obtained for limiting cases are exactly the same as corresponding results given by the previous researchers. The present predictions also agree well with experimental data in the published literatures. Numerical experiments are conducted to examine the variations of the reflection coefficient versus its main effect factors, and some interesting results are presented.     

Sediment deposition in the northern basins of the North Atlantic and characteristic variations in shelf sedimentation along the East Greenland margin

New seismic data off East Greenland were acquired in the summer of 2002, between 77°N and 81°N, north of the Greenland Fracture zone. The data were combined with results from the Greenland Basin and ODP site 909, and indicate a pronounced middle Miocene unconformity within the deep sea basins between 72°N and 81°N. Seismic unit NA-1 consists of sediments older than middle Miocene age and unit NA-2 contains sediments younger than the middle Miocene. Classification of a thinly bedded succession in the Molloy Basin resulted in a subdivision into four units (unit I, unit II, unit IIIA and unit IIIB). A comparison of volume estimations and sediment thickness maps between 72°N and 81°N indicates differences in sediment accumulation in the Greenland, Boreas and Molloy basins. Important controls on the variation of accumulation included different opening times of the basins, as well as tectonic conditions and varying sources of sediment transport.Due to prominent basement structures and the varying reflection character of the sediments along the entire East Greenland margin, we defined an age model of shelf sediments on the basis of similar sediment deposit geometry and known results from other regions. The seismic sequences on the shelf up to an age of middle Miocene are divided into three sub-units along the East Greenland margin: middle Miocene–middle late Miocene (SU-3), middle late Miocene–Pleistocene (SU-2), Pleistocene (SU-1). The differences in the geometry of the sequences show more ice stream related sedimentation between 72°N and 77°N and more ice sheet related sedimentation north of 78°N. The region south of 68°N is dominated by more aggradational sedimentary strata so that a glacio-fluvial drainage seems the main transport mechanism. Due to the Greenland Inland–ice borderlines, we assume the glaciers between the Scoresby Sund and 68°N did not reach the shelf break. A first comparison of the sediment structure of the Northeast Greenland margin with the Southeast Greenland margin made it possible to demonstrate significant differences in sedimentation along this margin.     

Unique problems associated with seismic analysis of partially gas-saturated unconsolidated sediments

Gas hydrate stability conditions restrict the occurrence of gas hydrate to unconsolidated and high water-content sediments at shallow depths. Because of these host sediments properties, seismic and well log data acquired for the detection of free gas and associated gas hydrate-bearing sediments often require nonconventional analysis. For example, a conventional method of identifying free gas using the compressional/shear-wave velocity (V_p/V_s) ratio at the logging frequency will not work, unless the free-gas saturations are more than about 40%. The P-wave velocity dispersion of partially gas-saturated sediments causes a problem in interpreting well log velocities and seismic data. Using the White, J.E. [1975. Computed seismic speeds and attenuation in rocks with partial gas saturation. Geophysics 40, 224–232] model for partially gas-saturated sediments, the difference between well log and seismic velocities can be reconciled. The inclusion of P-wave velocity dispersion in interpreting well log data is, therefore, essential to identify free gas and to tie surface seismic data to synthetic seismograms.     

Water masses and currents of deep circulation southwest of the Shatsky Rise in the western North Pacific

We conducted full-depth hydrographic observations in the southwestern region of the Northwest Pacific Basin in September 2004 and November 2005. Deep-circulation currents crossed the observation line between the East Mariana Ridge and the Shatsky Rise, carrying Lower Circumpolar Deep Water westward in the lower deep layer (θ<1.2 °C) and Upper Circumpolar Deep Water (UCDW) and North Pacific Deep Water (NPDW) eastward in the upper deep layer (1.3–2.2 °C). In the lower deep layer at depths greater than approximately 3500 m, the eastern branch current of the deep circulation was located south of the Shatsky Rise at 30°24′–30°59′N with volume transport of 3.9 Sv (1 Sv=10⁶ m³ s⁻¹) in 2004 and at 30°06′–31°15′N with 1.6 Sv in 2005. The western branch current of the deep circulation was located north of the Ogasawara Plateau at 26°27′–27°03′N with almost 2.1 Sv in 2004 and at 26°27′–26°45′N with 2.7 Sv in 2005. Integrating past and present results, volume transport southwest of the Shatsky Rise is concluded to be a little less than 4 Sv for the eastern branch current and a little more than 2 Sv for the western branch current. In the upper deep layer at depths of approximately 2000–3500 m, UCDW and NPDW, characterized by high and low dissolved oxygen, respectively, were carried eastward at the observation line by the return flow of the deep circulation composing meridional overturning circulation. UCDW was confined between the East Mariana Ridge and the Ogasawara Plateau (22°03′–25°33′N) in 2004, whereas it extended to 26°45′N north of the Ogasawara Plateau in 2005. NPDW existed over the foot and slope of the Shatsky Rise from 29°48′N in 2004 and 30°06′N in 2005 to at least 32°30′N at the top of the Shatsky Rise. Volume transport of UCDW was estimated to be 4.6 Sv in 2004, whereas that of NPDW was 1.4 Sv in 2004 and 2.6 Sv in 2005, although the values for NPDW may be slightly underestimated, because they do not include the component north of the top of the Shatsky Rise. Volume transport of UCDW and NPDW southwest of the Shatsky Rise is concluded to be approximately 5 and 3 Sv, respectively. The pathways of UCDW and NPDW are new findings and suggest a correction for the past view of the deep circulation in the Pacific Ocean.

Strike-slip systems as the main tectonic features in the Plio-Quaternary kinematics of the Calabrian Arc

The oblique and diachronous collision of the Apennine-Maghrebian Chain with the Apulian (in the north-east) and Pelagian (in the south) continental forelands, has determined the characteristic arcuate structure of this orogen. The effects of Plio-Pleistocene deformation of the Calabrian Arc have been analysed on the basis of available reflection seismic profiles and using local time-structural maps reconstructed along the main structures. During this period, internal sectors of the Tertiary chain migrated forward on the oceanic Ionian foreland, and were cut by important strike-slip systems. These last have an orientation approximately coincident with that of the migration of the front, allowing differential movement of the different sectors of the arc, towards the weakly buoyant Ionian oceanic domain. The dataset suggests a clear connection between the development of the strike-slip systems cutting the chain and the direction of tectonic transport, towards the East during Late Messinian/Early Pliocene time, to the ESE during Late Pliocene/Early Pleistocene time, finally to the SSE during the Middle/Late Pleistocene to Present, showing a clockwise rotation in well defined stages during the kinematic evolution of the chain. The origin of the Strait of Messina during the different phases is also interpreted in the context of the analysed regional tectonic setting.
