Clustering of groundwater chemistry data with implications for reservoir appraisal in West Siberia

Division of sedimentary strata according to groundwater chemistry is discussed with implications for petroleum reservoir potential. It is suggested to process multiparametric water chemistry data from West Siberia using formalized clustering techniques. The efficiency of this approach has been tested for Neocomian clinoform reservoirs with reference to regional-scale appraisal and subregional petroleum division.     

Tameike灌溉池塘农业文化遗产:以大分县国东半岛为例（英文）

本文以于2013年5月被认定为全球重要农业文化遗产(GIAHS)试点的国东半岛为例,探讨了日本tameike灌溉池塘成为农业文化遗产的潜力。"tameike"是这个地区主要用来储存泉水或者短小急流的一种小型池塘。国东的tameike建造与当地的水稻种植和林业发展关系密切。许多现存的灌溉池塘均建于江户时期(1603–1867),直到战后这些池塘都是通过传统农业技术进行管理。然而,随着经济发展,这些灌溉池塘的用途和生态系统功能迅速减少。目前,灌溉池塘的总数只有明治维新前的近三分之一。GIAHS项目试图重新评估这些灌溉池塘的生态系统功能和相关知识体系以振兴当地农业。本文基于文献调查和实地研究,提出合理管理灌溉池塘可以成功使这种资源循环利用的文化恢复生机,而这正是国东地区作为农业文化遗产的意义。     

Decreasing trend of sediment transfer function of the Upper Yellow River,China, in response to human activity and climate change

Abstract

An index (F_s) for sediment transfer function is introduced, based on the sediment budget at the channel scale. The purpose of this study is two-fold: to gain a deeper insight into how F_s is influenced by natural and human factors, and to provide some new knowledge for decision making in the management of the Upper Yellow River, China. Since 1960, the F_s of the Lanzhou to Toudaoguai reach of the Upper Yellow River shows a decreasing trend. At the drainage basin level, the decreased F_s can be explained by changes in precipitation and air temperature, as well as by a number of variables describing human activity, such as reservoir regulation, water diversion, and soil and water conservation. The higher temperature reduces the transfer function, while the larger runoff coefficient increases it. At the channel level, the decreased F_s can be explained by a number of variables of flow and sediment input. Three countermeasures for restoration of the F_s are suggested.

砂岩储层中原生孔隙的破坏与保存机制研究进展

埋藏条件下原生孔隙的破坏与保存机制是含油气盆地砂岩储层质量研究的一个核心领域,其在油气地质学研究中的意义不言而喻。与次生孔隙的形成与保存机制相比,影响原生孔隙破坏与保存的因素有着其特殊的复杂性和多样性。在总结国内外研究进展的基础上,试图深入理解不同成岩机制在砂岩储层原生孔隙破坏与保存中的意义和作用,包括破坏机制（如机械压实、胶结作用等）和保存机制（如地层超压、颗粒包膜、盐体侵位和烃类占位等）。目前难以实现砂岩储层质量钻前准确预测的一个困难在于无法明确原生孔隙演化的动力和过程,将来成岩作用、流体作用、沉积过程和盆地演化的更紧密结合可能是解决砂岩储层原生孔隙破坏与保存机制研究中最有希望的发展方向之一。     

The genetic relationship between hydrocarbon systems and Mississippi Valley-type Zn–Pb deposits along the SW margin of Sichuan Basin,China

The Chipu Mississippi Valley-type (MVT) deposit is located on the southwest (SW) margin of the Sichuan Basin. Occurrence of plentiful organic matter (bitumen) at this deposit and abundant hydrocarbon reservoirs in the SW Sichuan Basin implies a link between lead–zinc mineralization and hydrocarbon systems in this area. The high δ³⁴S values of most metal sulphides from the different ore stages suggest that H₂S-bearing gases and/or thermochemical sulphate reduction (TSR) by organic matter could have been the source of reduced sulphur involved in ore formation. Sulphides with small positive to negative δ³⁴S values can be attributed to organically bound sulphur at the Chipu deposit. Carbon and oxygen isotopic compositions from sparry carbonates suggest mixing of organic carbon with seawater-derived carbon in the mineralization process. From the early to the later ore stages, δ¹³C_PDB values of ore-hosting carbonates are increasingly more negative, which indicates strengthening of the TSR role during mineralization. Hydrogen and oxygen isotopes in fluid inclusions in the quartz gangue indicate the provenance of the ore-forming fluids in the hydrocarbons. Moreover, some extremely low hydrogen isotope values suggest the addition of hydrogen from the same source. The low H/C ratios and high non-hydrocarbon component of the bitumen (Zhang et al. 2010 Zhang, C.Q., Yu, J.J., Mao, J.W., Yu, H. and Li, H.M. 2010. Research on the biomarker from Chipu Pb-Zn Deposit, Sichuan. Acta Sedimentologica Sinica, 28: 832–844. v.p.in Chinese with English abstract [Google Scholar]) also suggest that the organic matter may have been involved in TSR and subjected to a strong oxidation by ore-bearing fluids. This study attempts to explain the lead–zinc mineralization process and the role of organic matter in it. As there is a demonstrable relationship between the evolution of the hydrocarbons and regional lead–zinc mineralization along the SW edge of the Sichuan Basin, we propose a possible model in which the MVT mineralization coincided with the degradation of hydrocarbon reservoirs due to the large-scale migration of basinal fluids, most likely driven by the late Indosinian orogeny in response to the closure of the Palaeo-Tethys Ocean.

基于分数阶Fourier变换的声波测井全波列特征时频分析

目前,阵列声波测井信号处理大多在时间域或频率域中进行。但是,单纯的时间域或频率域方法有很大的局限性。为了打破这些局限性,笔者将分数阶Fourier变换方法用于阵列声波测井信号的分析之中,研究了不同性质储集层中信号幅度随分数阶Fourier变换阶数变化的规律。实验结果表明:在干层,幅度呈"1"型分布;在水层,幅度呈"Y"型分布,"Y"的两支开口较小,在阶数大于0.3的区域中,幅度较大;在油层,幅度呈"Y"型分布,"Y"的两支开口较大,在阶数大于0.6的区域中,幅度较大。因此,分数阶Fourier变换在提取阵列声波测井蕴含的储集层流体性质信息方面具有很好的前景。

Influence of background heterogeneity on traveltime shifts for compacting reservoirs

Compaction induced by pore‐pressure decrease inside a reservoir can be monitored by measuring traveltime shifts of reflection events on time‐lapse seismic data. Recently we introduced a perturbation‐based formalism to describe traveltime shifts caused by the 3D stress‐induced velocity field around a compacting reservoir. Application of this method to homogeneous background models showed that the offset variation of traveltime shifts is controlled primarily by the anisotropic velocity perturbations and can provide valuable information about the shear and deviatoric stresses. Here, we model and analyse traveltime shifts for compacting reservoirs whose elastic properties are different from those of the surrounding medium. For such models, the excess stress is influenced primarily by the contrast in the rigidity modulus μ across the reservoir boundaries. Synthetic examples demonstrate that a significant (25% or more) contrast in μ enhances the isotropic velocity perturbations outside the reservoir. Nevertheless, the influence of background heterogeneity is mostly confined to the reservoir and its immediate vicinity and the anisotropic velocity changes are still largely responsible for the offset dependence of traveltime shifts. If the reservoir is stiffer than the host rock, the background heterogeneity reduces anisotropic velocity perturbations inside the reservoir but increases them in the overburden. As a result, in this case, the magnitude of the offset variation of traveltime shifts is generally higher for reflections from interfaces above the reservoir. We also study compaction‐induced stress/strain and traveltime shifts for a stiff reservoir embedded in a softer layered model based on velocity profiles from the Valhall Field in the North Sea. Despite producing discontinuities in strain across medium interfaces, horizontal layering does not substantially alter the overall behaviour of traveltime shifts. The most pronounced offset variation of traveltime shifts is observed for overburden events recorded at common midpoints close to the reservoir edges. On the whole, prestack analysis of traveltime shifts should help better constrain compaction‐induced velocity perturbations in the presence of realistic background heterogeneity.
