乍得Bongor盆地基岩潜山储层特征与影响因素研究

基岩潜山油气藏是油气勘探的重要领域。本文以覆盖Bongor盆地主要潜山构造带的高精度三维地震资料,近百口基岩钻井的岩心资料和系统解释成果为基础,对基岩储层的特征、展布规律及影响因素进行精细研究。通过开展岩心观察和镜下分析,明确了Bongor盆地基岩以花岗岩、正长岩和二长岩等岩浆岩和混合花岗岩、片麻岩等变质岩为主,基岩储集空间以破碎的粒间孔、构造裂缝和溶蚀孔洞为主。主要潜山带上的基岩钻井揭示潜山储层纵向上具有分带性,位于潜山顶部的风化壳和破碎带储集条件好,向下进入潜山内部储集条件逐步变差,平面上基岩储层分布广泛,但非均质性强,不同构造部位储层厚度和品质差异较大。通过对潜山构造带的构造恢复和地震、测井、岩心综合研究,明确Bongor盆地潜山储层主要受古构造位置、基岩岩性与矿物成分及构造活动的影响。位于构造高部位的潜山较低部位潜山基岩储层更为发育。长英质矿物较铁镁质矿物脆性强,应力作用下容易产生裂缝,沿着裂缝发生溶蚀而形成孔洞,富长英质矿物层段比铁镁质矿物层段储层品质更好。受构造活动的影响,主要断裂带附近构造裂缝发育,现今最大主应力方向与主要裂缝方向接近,有利于裂缝的张开与保存。基岩储层特征与影响因素的研究为潜山目标评价和钻前储层预测提供了可能。     

Integrated remote sensing and GIS techniques for biogeochemical characterization of the Tinto-Odiel estuary system,SW Spain

The Tinto-Odiel estuary area in SW Spain presents a high concentration of industrial, agricultural and mining activities that seriously affect water quality, producing significant concentrations in trace metals and other contaminant elements. Previous studies have highlighted the important environmental effect of these contaminated waters discharged into the Gulf of Cadiz, contributing in a marked way to trace-metal concentrations in the Mediterranean Sea by water inflow through the Strait of Gibraltar. A global biogeochemical characterization of these waters was the main objective of a multidisciplinary research study funded by the European Union, in which remote sensing and GIS techniques, among other methodologies, were jointly applied. The main results confirmed the usefulness of this integrated methodological approach as an effective tool for the assessment of current biogeochemical conditions. Digital image processing provided valuable thematic information for temporal hydrodynamic analysis and water quality parameters mapping, which was integrated into a GIS database together with experimental information sampled in oceanographic cruises.     

Impact of Mining Activities upon Environment in Panzhihua Region, Southwestern China

Mining activities have left huge uncovered slopes, large areas of gangue ground and extensive railings dams. In this paper, we studied some impacts of mining activities upon environment in Panzhihua region, southwestern China. The environmental impacts include ecological destruction, geological disasters, environmental pollution, land damage, solid waste and occupational health effect in study area. The author suggested that local government should take some measure to reduce environmental impact in Panzhihua City. First, the countermeasure of reducing environmental impact is to set up ecological rehabilitation and environmental management system, which ensure the sustainable development of resources, environment, economy and society in this region. Second, the area needs to be monitored regularly for trace metal and other pollutants to forewarn urban eco-environmental safety.     

Deep sea diapirs and bottom simulating reflector in Fairway Basin (SW Pacific)

A recent swath-bathymetry and geophysical survey of the R/V L'Atalante in the Fairway Basin between Australia and New Caledonia allowed to confirm the Cretaceous age of the creation of the basin by continental stretching. This first stage of opening of the Fairway Basin is associated with the deposition of a continuous salt/mud layer feeding today numerous diapirs, some of them piercing the 3 to 4 km thick sedimentary cover and reaching the seafloor. In close link with this salt/mud layer a Bottom Simulating Reflector indicator of gas hydrates level occupies a 70000 km² surface at about 500 to 600 m-depth beneath the sea floor. The coexistence of both BSR and diapirs suggests a thermogenic better than biogenic origin for the gas hydrates horizon.     

Sedimentation rates off SW Africa since the late Miocene deciphered from spectral analyses of borehole and GRA bulk density profiles: ODP Sites 1081–1084

Sedimentation rates (SRs) off SW Africa were calculated by performing spectral analyses in the depth domain on borehole and gamma-ray attenuation (GRA) bulk density data from ODP Sites 1081–1084. Inversion and integration of SRs versus depth from spectral analysis yielded detailed SR profiles in the time domain. Our technique allowed the detection of excursions in calculated SRs that not only often differed from those established through coarse-scaled biostratigraphic data, but also revealed a greater regional variability in the sediment accumulation over time. High-resolution bulk density data exhibited distinct periodicity in the waveband of Milankovitch cycles (precession at 19–23 kyr; obliquity at 41 kyr; eccentricity at 100 kyr). The pronounced Milankovitch cyclicity suggests that climate variability and trends in SRs along the Benguela Current System (BCS) were responding to insolation patterns during the past 6 Myr. We find relatively low SRs when evolutive amplitude spectra are dominated by obliquity and eccentricity periods. In contrast, significant SR peaks at all sites often occur when strong precessional amplitudes coexist with obliquity and eccentricity cycles. Episodes of high SRs often coincide with peaks in organic carbon mass accumulation rates (MAR C_org) and reduced sea surface temperature (SST) in the southern Walvis Basin, which have been associated with increased regional upwelling. This suggests that the high SRs reflect high productivity (high MAR C_org) attributed to strong wind and upwelling intensity during cool climate periods (low SSTs) in accordance with orbital forcing patterns observed in our spectra.     

南海西南次海盆声呐浮标地震测深资料研究

利用声纳浮标资料，得到了南海西南次海盆地壳的速度结构。确定海盆中沉积物的速度为1．6～3．9km／s，基底顶面速度为4．2～6．8km／s。确定海盆中存在洋壳。海盆中基底起伏较大，埋深为4400～5700m，很多地方的基底上只有一层300～500m厚的低速沉积层，而缺少其它上第三系的沉积物。海盆中沉积物的厚度为300～1500m，时代为晚渐新世～第四纪，由此推测西南次海盆的扩张开始时间应该为早渐新世。     

Short-term responses to sewage discharge and storms of subtidal sand-bottom macrozoobenthic assemblages off Mar del Plata City, Argentina (SW Atlantic)

This work describes short-term responses of sandy-bottom infaunal macrobenthic communities to environmental disturbances, such as episodic storms and the intertidal sewage discharge of the Mar del Plata City (38° S, 57° W, Argentina). Sewage discharge increases by up to 60% every summer due to tourism pressure. Episodic storms affect the area during autumn-winter and arguably have a cleaning effect on the water and sediment quality. Quantitative data on benthic communities (based on Van Veen grab samples), water and sediment variables were obtained in November 1999 and March 2000. During March the sampling was carried out before and after a storm. Parametric and non- parametric tests showed highly significant differences in both environmental (pH, dissolved oxygen, salinity, temperature, grain size and total organic carbon of sediments) and biological data (species distribution and abundances, density, species number, diversity and evenness), reflecting changes that might be related to increasing sewage discharge between November and March, and to storm effects of March. High values of pH and dissolved oxygen, including a slight stratification in the water column, as well as high values of mean grain size and total organic carbon were observed in March with the increasing sewage volume. Nevertheless, diversity and evenness showed low values, but higher density. The ratio crustacean/polychaetes + molluscs also showed low values compared to November data. Maldanid polychaetes (indicator of low content of organic matter in sediments) dominated in November, but they were replaced by the polychaete Prionospio spp. (indicator of organic enrichment in subtidal areas) and the tanaidacean Kalliapseudes schubarti in March. Before the storm event, values of both environmental and biological data returned to relatively normal conditions, but without reaching the November values, reflecting the disturbance produced by a moderate northern storm. In spite of an inappropriate replication in time, the present results strongly suggest that these changes were related to both sewage disturbance and storm effects. These data are in agreement with and explain the pattern observed in shallow-shelf benthic communities of the SW Atlantic. Implications for environmental management and decision making are discussed, because a pulse disturbance (storms) becomes a press disturbance, keeping the environment healthy in spite of strong pressure and pulse sewage-disturbances.     

Doppler tomography of accretion regions in algols

The technique of Doppler Tomography has been used to image the accretion regions in five short-period Algols. There is clear evidence of gas flows along the predicted free-fall path of the gas stream as well as asymmetric disk-like structures around the mass gainer. Another source of H emission is associated with the cool magnetically active star.
