天然气水合物在油气藏形成过程中的封盖作用——谈造山带中烃源岩对盆地区油气资源的贡献

在中国的造山带中普遍发育优质烃源岩,它们形成于海槽环境,而海槽环境也是形成天然气水合物的有利环境。水合物有良好的封盖作用,其下的油气受到封盖会向相邻的台地区运移,即油气从古海槽区(现今为造山带)向台地区(现今为盆地区)转移。因此造山带中的烃源岩对盆地区油气资源应有积极贡献。认为现今台西南海域的水合物与相邻油气藏具有同源性,这是水合物的封盖作用与油气藏形成之间具有密切联系的生动实例。四川盆地有限的烃源岩分布不能提供巨大的天然气储量,周边造山带可能也提供了相当的资源量。建议在四川盆地和秦岭造山带中系统采集气-液包裹体,以对比它们的亲缘关系,借以验证造山带中的烃源岩是否对盆地区的天然气成藏具有贡献。     

亚洲特提斯域岩相古地理与油气聚集地质特征

亚洲特提斯域油气在地理上主要分布于西亚段南带,其次为西亚段北带、东南亚段中带,再次为中亚段。对古、中、新特提斯域的岩相古地理特征作了分析研究,并编制了相关的岩相古地理图。认为油气分布在盆地类型上主要与前陆盆地、克拉通边缘盆地相关,盆地形态主要与台地、环形坳陷、线形坳陷等沉积—构造环境相关,其成烃物质的沉积-构造环境多位于古赤道与45°古纬度之间。提出盆地保存是盆地油气评价的先决条件。指出了亚洲特提斯域南带、中带和北带的油气勘探新领域。     

油气资源评价的多参数约束改进油气田(藏)规模序列法及其应用

油气田(藏)规模序列法是油气资源评价常用的方法之一,其优点是不但可以给出总的资源量,而且还可以给出各油气田(藏)的规模和序列,不足是其预测结果带有多解性。在多年的资评工作中,形成了一套求取规模序列中关键参数的科学方法:依据其他方法(成因法等)求取的资源量来约束规模序列法求取的地质资源量;依据高勘探区地质资源量与最大单一油气田(藏)规模统计关系来约束评价区最大单一油气田(藏)规模;根据预测单元可能存在的圈闭数(包含隐蔽圈闭)来限制预测的油气田(藏)个数。通过采用总量约束、最大单一规模约束和油气田(藏)个数约束,获得的结果克服了原方法存在的一些问题,使评价结果更科学,更符合地质实际。以该方法在黄河口凹陷等地区的应用实例证明了评价结果与勘探认识吻合较好。     

Detection of hydrocarbons in clay soils: A laboratory experiment using spectroscopy in the mid- and thermal infrared

Remote sensing has been used for direct and indirect detection of hydrocarbons. Most studies so far focused on indirect detection in vegetated areas. We investigated in this research the possibility of detecting hydrocarbons in bare soil through spectral analysis of laboratory samples in the short wave and thermal infrared regions. Soil/oil mixtures were spectrally measured in the laboratory. Analysis of spectra showed development of hydrocarbon absorption features as soils became progressively more contaminated. The future application of these results airborne seems to be a challenge as present and future sensors only cover the diagnostic regions to a limited extent.     

塔河油田十二区奥陶系油气分布规律及控制因素

塔河油田十二区奥陶系油藏为碳酸盐岩岩溶缝洞型油藏,油气水分布规律复杂。对原油的物理性质、平面及纵向上的分布特征、油水界面等的分析表明,区内主要为高黏度、含蜡、高含硫的超重质原油。平面上密度分布呈西部和东部低、中部高的特点;纵向上原油密度与深度关系不大。高产油区多沿主断裂带分布。油水界面不统一,但从东向西随中奥陶统顶面的降低而降低。认为该区油气分布不受现今构造位置高低的控制,而是受区域构造背景、断裂带的分布、储集层的发育程度、成藏演化过程以及不整合面等因素综合控制。     

下扬子地区中-新生代的挤压变形与伸展改造及其油气勘探意义

以地表变形特征、地层厚度变化和地震剖面为约束,构建了贯穿下扬子地区主要构造单元的三条地质大剖面。剖面展示了研究区早期褶皱逆冲、晚期伸展断陷的构造格局,并揭示了变形的空间差异。通过对褶皱卷入的层位、断层与地层的切割关系及不整合类型和发育特征的梳理,得出研究区北侧的褶皱逆冲主要形成于中-晚三叠世,南侧的褶皱逆冲主要形成 于中-晚侏罗世。两侧的挤压构造在晚白垩世开始都经历了强烈的拉张作用,北侧的断陷一直持续到古近纪,新近纪以拗陷为主,而南侧古近纪断陷规模较小,新近纪拗陷不发育。苏州-无锡地区的下古生界受后期改造作用较弱,是油气勘探的有利地区。

碳酸盐岩烃源岩判识与实践——以四川盆地为例

碳酸盐岩可以成为烃源岩,并为油气藏提供丰富的烃源,但不是所有碳酸盐岩都可以视为烃源岩。碳酸盐岩在成藏进程中,往往作为输导层或储集层,并常有外源有机质的干扰。碳酸盐岩烃源岩应该是有机质原生赋存(与矿物结合成为沉积的一部分),具有一定丰度值,在适宜的热成熟阶段,同样可以形成液态烃和气态烃。碳酸盐岩烃源岩发育于低能环境的沉积相——开阔海台地相、局限海台地相、生物泥丘相、斜坡相,等等。泥质泥晶灰岩,生物泥—粒泥岩—泥粒岩微相,应该是碳酸盐岩烃源岩的主要岩类。碳酸盐岩烃源岩与油系泥质烃源岩比较,具有油窗凸显且高峰期前移、气态烃峰期不明显且有后延、液态烃产率高的特点。据对碳酸盐岩烃源潜量的评估,它在四川盆地烃源中占20%～25%,为油气成藏作出了重要贡献。     

Kinetic simulation of hydrocarbon generation from lacustrine type I kerogen from the Songliao Basin: Model comparison and geological application

Eight lacustrine Type I kerogen samples from the Songliao Basin were pyrolyzed using the Rock-Eval equipment, and parallel first-order reaction models including the model with a single frequency factor and a discrete distribution of activation energies (SFF model) and the model with multiple frequency factors and a discrete distribution of activation energies (MFF model) were adopted to analyze kinetic characteristics of hydrocarbon generation of the Type I kerogen samples. The results show that the MFF and SFF models can satisfactory simulate hydrocarbon generation under laboratory conditions and the Type I kerogen shows relatively concentrated activation energy distributions (activation energies of MFF model range from 190 kJ/mol to 250 kJ/mol, activation energies of SFF model range from 220 kJ/mol to 240 kJ/mol), which indicates a homogeneous chemical bond structure of the Type I kerogen. The hydrocarbon generated curves from Type I kerogen were calculated by using the two models with a linear heating rate (3.3 K/Ma). It indicates that the hydrocarbon generation potentials (reaction fractions) are underestimated by using the SFF model during the kerogen thermal degradation for the components with chemical bond of lower and higher activation energies, while this problem can be avoided by using the MFF model. The calculated temperatures for 50% transformation ratio (TR) of all samples differ by as much as 20 °C. For the SFF model, the hydrocarbon generation curve obtained by using the weighted averaged kinetic parameters and the SFF model almost includes every curve calculated by using its own kinetic parameters. While the curve obtained by using the weighted averaged kinetic parameters and the MFF model cannot include every curve for all samples, it lies at the position of the averaged curve of all samples. The application of the MFF model in Songliao Basin shows that if TR 10% is taken as the onset of hydrocarbon generation, the threshold depth of hydrocarbon generation is about 1700 m, which is consistent with other geochemical parameters, such as S₁/TOC, S₁/(S₁ + S₂) and HC/TOC.     

Oil-oil and oil-source rock correlations in the Alpine Foreland Basin of Austria: Insights from biomarker and stable carbon isotope studies

The Alpine Foreland Basin is a minor oil and moderate gas province in central Europe. In the Austrian part of the Alpine Foreland Basin, oil and minor thermal gas are thought to be predominantly sourced from Lower Oligocene horizons (Schöneck and Eggerding formations). The source rocks are immature where the oil fields are located and enter the oil window at ca. 4 km depth beneath the Alpine nappes indicating long-distance lateral migration. Most important reservoirs are Upper Cretaceous and Eocene basal sandstones.Stable carbon isotope and biomarker ratios of oils from different reservoirs indicate compositional trends in W-E direction which reflect differences in source, depositional environment (facies), and maturity of potential source rocks. Thermal maturity parameters from oils of different fields are only in the western part consistent with northward displacement of immature oils by subsequently generated oils. In the eastern part of the basin different migration pathways must be assumed. The trend in S/(S + R) isomerisation of ααα-C₂₉ steranes versus the αββ (20R)/ααα (20R) C₂₉ steranes ratio from oil samples can be explained by differences in thermal maturation without involving long-distance migration. The results argue for hydrocarbon migration through highly permeable carrier beds or open faults rather than relatively short migration distances from the source. The lateral distance of oil fields to the position of mature source rocks beneath the Alpine nappes in the south suggests minimum migration distances between less than 20 km and more than 50 km.Biomarker compositions of the oils suggest Oligocene shaly to marly successions (i.e. Schoeneck, Dynow, and Eggerding formations) as potential source rocks, taking into account their immature character. Best matches are obtained between the oils and units a/b (marly shale) and c (black shale) of the “normal” Schöneck Formation, as well as with the so-called “Oberhofen Facies”. Results from open system pyrolysis-gas chromatography of potential source rocks indicate slightly higher sulphur content of the resulting pyrolysate from unit b. The enhanced dibenzothiophene/phenanthrene ratios of oils from the western part of the basin would be consistent with a higher contribution of unit b to hydrocarbon expulsion in this area. Differences in the relative contribution of sedimentary units to oil generation are inherited from thickness variations of respective units in the overthrusted sediments. The observed trend towards lighter δ¹³C values of hydrocarbon fractions from oil fields in a W-E direction are consistent with lower δ¹³C values of organic matter in unit c.
