古巴前陆盆地三区块油气成藏条件及有利区带预测

古巴前陆盆地三区块是2005年中国石油化工股份有限公司登记的风险勘探开发合同区块,位于墨西哥湾西南部,属古巴西部前陆盆地中租赁区块之一。结合该盆地的勘探现状及盆地内的钻井、物探以及地球化学等相关资料,分析了该盆地的油气成藏条件及其勘探潜力,预测了有利区带。三区块主要发育上侏罗统—下白垩统泥灰岩、泥质灰岩和中—下侏罗统泥页岩两套主要烃源岩,储层以泥晶灰岩、灰岩和砂砾岩为主,区内早期形成的圈闭在造山期基本遭到破坏,有效的圈闭主要形成于古近纪晚期,圈闭类型以背斜、断鼻、断块为主,推测可能发育多套储盖组合。盆地内有两大潜力勘探区域:北部前陆冲断带发育古近系盖层,是下一步勘探的首选区域;南部盆地北缘发育较厚的古近系和新近系,属南部盆地系统,推测是有利远景区。     

山东东营凹陷新近系地层水化学场特征及油气意义*

为揭示中国东部新生代浅部地层水化学场响应及油气意义,在东营凹陷新近系试油资料统计分析的基础上,对东营凹陷新近系的水化学场特征进行了研究。结果表明,与古近系沙河街组三段与四段封闭性滞留型水化学场特征明显不同,新近系馆陶组和明化镇组总体以低矿化度的NaHCO₃型地层水为主体（矿化度小于5 g/L）;其水化学剖面宏观上具有一定的分带性,大致可以划分为3种水文环境：强开放性水文流畅带(0～0.7km)、弱开放性水文阻滞过渡带(0.7～1.1km)和相对封闭性水文迟缓带(＞1.1km);在不同的水化学作用带,水岩作用和地层水矿化度、离子和离子参数具有不同的响应;东营凹陷新近系Ca相对海水富集(Ca_excess)和Na相对海水亏损(Na_deficient)的定量关系Ca_excess≤0.2367Na_deficient-0.6261,显示出明显的钠亏损特征,钙富集量也远低于世界盆地流体线(Basin Fluid Line,BFL;Davisson,1996)所代表的富集量,与同凹陷古近系沙三、沙四段封闭性水文地质系统中钠相对富集特征也明显不同,反映了地层水蒸发浓缩作用弱及与地表水交替活动强烈的水文地质作用特征;地层水化学场的分布影响了原油密度和天然气的分布规律,使得东营凹陷新近系原油密度与天然气相对密度在剖面上的分布规律与地层水分有良好的一致性。     

A population of very young brown dwarfs and free-floating planets in Orion

We describe the results of a very deep imaging survey of the Trapezium cluster in the IJH bands, using the UKIRT high-resolution camera UFTI. Approximately 32 per cent of the 515 point sources detected are brown dwarf candidates, including several free-floating objects with masses below the deuterium-burning (planetary) threshold at 0.013 M_⊙, which are detectable because of their extreme youth. We have confidence that almost all the sources detected are cluster members, since foreground contamination is minimal in the 33-arcmin² area surveyed, and the dense backdrop of OMC-1 obscures all background stars at these wavelengths. Extinction is calculated from the ( J − H ) colours, permitting accurate luminosity estimates, and temperatures are derived from the dereddened ( I − J ) colours. There is some evidence for a cut-off in the luminosity function below the level corresponding to several Jupiter masses, which may represent the bottom end of the initial mass function . Since star formation is complete in the Trapezium, this limit could have wide significance, if confirmed. However, it could well be an effect of the dispersal of the molecular cloud by the central O-type stars, a process for which the time-scale will vary between star formation regions.     

东营凹陷高青-平南断裂带幔源流体活动特征及其成藏效应

东营凹陷高青-平南断裂带为幔源流体运移的主要通道,该幔源流体主要为岩浆(岩)和CO2气体。高青-平南断裂带幔源流体活动方式和活动强度存在着时间和空间上的差异,该断裂带在古近纪-新近纪至少经历了四期富CO2幔源流体活动。高青-平南断裂带富CO2幔源流体对油气成藏的影响主要表现在：①直接形成无机CO2气藏;②通过能量——热的作用和物质,即CO2的加入,影响水-岩相互作用的强度和方向,从而改善油气储集层的物性;③在一定程度上提高源岩的排烃效率,增加油气的运移速率。     

The near-infrared variable source IRAS 04000+5052 is a small, compact star forming region

The near-infrared variable source, IRAS 04000+5052, was observed using the Italian 1.5 m TIRGO infrared telescope, located in the Gornergrat Observatory, Switzerland. High-resolution images were obtained in the JHK broad bands and H₂ S(1) 1-0, Br_γ narrow bands. Photometry and astrometry were also carried out. From the observations, it is found that IRAS source is not a single young object, but a small-sized, compact star-forming region with many young objects. Even in such a small and compact region, stars are not formed at the same time.     

Numerical simulation of crack formation process in clays during drying and wetting

Clays generally crack upon drying and the cracks gradually close up because of expansion of the clays induced by rainfall infiltration. Based on the concept of air drainage ratio, we introduce an improved simplified consolidation theory for unsaturated soils and apply it to solve the crack formation problem. We present initial conditions, special consideration, and finite-element (FEM) formulations for simulation of cracks under axisymmetric conditions. Similar to finding solutions for sand-well consolidation problems, a prism of clays surrounded by polygonal distributed cracks is simplified as a cylinder. Numerical simulations using the FEM formulations are performed on the processes of crack occurrence, propagation, and closure during drying and wetting. To investigate the influence of air drainage ratio distribution, three different schemes are adopted for computation. It is found that the behaviour of cracks in clays during drying and wetting can be well represented using the approach proposed in the paper. The simplified consolidation theory used in the paper for unsaturated soils is more suitable for crack analysis than the general consolidation theory currently applied.
