Structure and Fluid Transportation Performance of Faults in the Changxing-Feixianguan Formation,Xuanhan County,Northeastern Sichuan Basin

On the basis of field observations, microscopic thin-sections and laboratory data analysis of ten faults in Xuanhan County area, northeastern Sichuan Basin, central China, the internal and megascopic structures and tectonite development characteristics are mainly controlled by the geomechanical quality in brittle formation of the Changxing-Feixianguan Formation. The fluid transportation performance difference between the faults formed by different geomechanics or different structural parts of the same fault are controlled by the mcgascopic structure and tectonite development characteristics. For instance, the extension fault structure consists of a tectonite breccia zone and an extension fracture zone. Good fluid transportation performance zones are the extension fracture zone adjacent to the tectonite breccia zone and the breccia zone formed at the early evolutionary stage. The typical compression fault structure consists of a boulder-clay zone or zones of grinding gravel rock, compression foliation, tectonite lens, and dense fracture development. The dense fracture development zone is the best fluid transporting area at a certain scale of the compression fault, and then the lens, grinding gravel rock zone and compression foliation zones are the worst areas for hydrocarbon migration. The typical tensor-shear fault with a certain scale can be divided into boulder-clay or grinding gravel rock zones of the fault, as well as a pinnate fractures zone and a derivative fractures zone. The grinding gravel rock zone is the worst one for fluid transportation. Because of the fracture mesh connectivity and better penetration ability, the pinnate fractures zone provides the dominant pathway for hydrocarbon vertical migration along the tensor-shear fault.     

Li_2S─B_2O_3（─LiBr）玻璃的结构表征

用ＮＭＲ和ＸＰＳ技术研究了Ｌｉ２Ｓ─Ｂ２Ｏ３（─ＬｉＢｒ）体系硫氧化物玻璃的结构，结果指出，４─配位硼分数Ｎ４仅仅由玻璃Ｌｉ２Ｓ／Ｂ２Ｏ３摩尔比决定．而与ＬｉＢｒ含量无关，这表明Ｌｉ２Ｓ作为变形剂参与了玻璃网络形成，而ＬｉＢｒ仅作为参杂剂溶解于玻璃基体中，并进入网络间隙。含ＬｉＢｒ玻璃７ＬｉＮＭＲ谱运动变窄说明Ｌｉ＋离子是移迁离子．Ｓ２ｐ的ＸＰＳ解析谱证实了玻璃中桥硫和非桥硫的存在．Ｌｉｌｓ结合能值显示出Ｌｉ＋离了迁移的化学环境。     

中生代之前柴达木的演化研究

现今柴达木盆地的形成,中生代以来的构造运动起到了关键性作用,但是柴达木地块在中生代以前的演化也具有重要的意义。基于前人的研究,系统论述了柴达木在中生代以前的发展演化。柴达木盆地存在一个统一的前震旦系克拉通基底,基底存在双重结构,包括元古宙结晶基底和古生代褶皱基底。柴盆周边古老山体出露有下元古界区域热变质作用形成的达肯大坂群和金水口群,以及中上元古界的小庙群、冰沟群和丘吉东沟群。柴盆基底多登—小柴旦一线可能存在一个东西向的"中央断裂带",断裂带西北部的基底塑型强、埋深大,新生界地层发育;而东南部基底具刚性,埋深较浅,第三系不发育,地表主要为第四系盖层。自显生宙以来柴达木的演化,是与新元古代联合古陆的裂解,再到二叠纪中期北半球劳亚古陆形成的大地构造演化背景一致的;寒武纪时,柴达木地块还处于南半球低纬度,后逐渐向北漂移,至二叠纪时已位于北纬12.7°。关于柴达木盆地的形成,特别是中生代后逐渐演化为现今盆—山模式,主要是受到周边断裂带的控制,即柴北缘断裂带、东昆仑断裂带和阿尔金断裂带。因此,柴达木地块的演化,是在与周边地块不断适应、调整过程中实现的。     

滇西腾冲新生代花岗岩：成因类型与构造意义

滇西腾冲地区位于喜马拉雅造山带东构造结的东南弧形构造带内,发育的新生代花岗岩,记录了大量印度-亚洲大陆碰撞的时间信息和东部碰撞带区域构造演化及大陆动力学信息.本区新生代花岗岩可划分出二长花岗岩、正长花岗岩、白云母花岗岩和白云母钠长花岗岩等四种主要岩相类型.最早期侵位的二长花岗岩和白云母花岗岩,^40Ar/^39Ar年龄为66～58Ma,大规模侵位的正长花岗岩和二长花岗岩,同位素年龄集中在两个时段,即54～52Ma和43～41Ma.二长花岗岩和正长花岗岩ASI（铝饱和指数）接近于1,属偏铝到过铝之间的高钾钙碱性花岗岩,白云母（钠长）花岗岩ASI变化于1.02～2.63,属过铝到强过铝花岗岩;这些花岗岩的K2O/Na2O＞1,且K2O/Na2O比值和SiO2含量依次增加;微量元素含量前者具相对高Sr、Ba而低Rb,后者具明显的高Rb和异常的低Sr、Ba,其中,白云母花岗岩以异常高Y为特征,白云母钠长花岗岩以异常高Rb为标志;稀土元素前者REE配分型式具有右倾的LREE富集型,负Eu异常明显,后者具有“燕式”REE配分型式,暗示不同类型之间有着不尽相同的岩浆源岩或熔融机制.这些新生代花岗岩的岩浆序列和岩石组合揭示,青藏高原东部地区碰撞造山经历了复杂的演化历程：（1）印度大陆与亚洲大陆于66～59Ma发生对接并强烈碰撞,导致地壳大幅度加厚和地壳深融;（2）经过大约5Ma的应力调整,于54～52Ma发生碰撞高峰期后的短暂张弛和正长花岗岩浅成侵位;（3）于43～41Ma,张弛加剧,地壳伸展,伴随着二长花岗岩和正长花岗岩的形成发育.     

Isothermal annealing of partially metamict zircon: evidence for a three-stage recovery process

 Raman spectroscopy and the powder diffraction technique have been used to monitor the recovery process of two partially metamict zircons (2.6 and 4.8 × 10¹⁸ α-decays g⁻¹) from Sri Lanka during a series of isothermal annealing experiments in the temperature range from 870 to 1622 K. These experiments show for the first time that structural recovery in partially metamict zircon proceeds via three distinct recovery stages, each of which occurs within a distinct time-temperature regime. Whereas the first two stages have previously been recognized (recovery of damaged crystalline remnants and epitaxial recrystallization), the third stage has not yet been identified as a single activated process. It is suggested that anisotropic defect annealing during the first stage at low temperatures, where the structure recovers preferentially along the a(b) plane, produces a geometrical situation where large structural rearrangements are necessary to remove the remaining defects inside the crystalline material. This situation is approximately reached when the amorphous domains start to recrystallize. The reason for anisotropic annealing can be found in a different connectivity between polyhedral linkages in both directions of the zircon lattice. High apparent activation energies, in the range of 6.4 to 7.9 eV, were determined for the third recovery stage from the Raman data, which are interpreted to reflect large structural rearrangements (i.e. polyhedral tilting) associated with the final recovery of the c axis. This explains the occurrence of a distinct recrystallization stage without defect annealing. Finally, it should be mentioned that the first recovery stage is not necessarily expected to occur in less damaged zircon crystals (<∼2 × 10¹⁸ α-decays g⁻¹), since less stable defects along the basal plane might have already been self-annealed during radiation damage accumulation under ambient temperatures.

秋里塔格构造带位于库车前陆逆冲带前锋,区域构造位置介于库车坳陷三叠-侏罗系烃源岩生排烃中心与塔北前缘隆起带之间,第三系广泛分布两套膏盐岩层,发育多套储盖组合和复杂的构造样式,石油地质条件非常优越.本文在分析3个区带的变形特征基础上,探讨了盐上层和盐下层的构造成因,认为盐上层的构造成因与盐层的流动性有关,西段变形比东段强烈;盐下层构造成因东、西差异较大,东段与盐层的塑性变形无关,西段则受其影响.     

孟加拉湾若开海域晚新生代构造变形及其对油气的控制作用

利用钻井、二维和三维地震资料,剖析了孟加拉湾若开海域晚新生代的构造变形特征,探讨了构造变形对油气的控制作用。区域深度地质剖面揭示,研究区南部仅发育底部滑脱层(深度10 km),而北部则发育底部滑脱层(深度12 km)和中部滑脱层(深度4 km);受滑脱层的控制,研究区南部仅发育一套构造层,而北部则发育变形不协调的上、下两套构造层;南部背斜的南北向延伸距离、波长及背斜间隔距离均明显大于北部。通过北部局部构造精细解析表明,研究区北部变形相对较复杂,上构造层主要发育近南北向的背斜和次级张扭性右旋走滑断层,二者形成时间分别为晚第四纪和晚第四纪末。若开海域晚新生代的构造变形对圈闭形成、油气运聚和保存条件具有重要的控制作用。指出研究区南部平缓褶皱带构造—岩性复合圈闭具备形成大油气田的条件,是下一步油气勘探的重要目标。     

鄱阳盆地构造—沉积特征及其演化史

 鄱阳盆地是发育在江南—九岭和怀玉—官帽基底拆离造山带上的白垩-古近纪张扭性断陷盆地,明显受近南北走向的赣江走滑断裂系和前白垩系逆冲断裂系晚期反转的双重因素控制,呈“两坳夹一隆”的区域构造格局。受赣江、进贤—石门街走滑断裂夹持的南昌凹陷,呈近南北向凹凸相间展布格局。进贤—石门街走滑断裂以东地区,“南断北超”型断陷自南而北由北东走向渐转为北北东向展布,其源于晚印支-燕山期北东向逆冲断裂在晚期的反转作用,西缘和北部受赣江断裂系东枝走滑断裂影响明显而发生转向。鄱阳盆地经历了早白垩世晚期(冷水坞组沉积期)拉分盆地、晚白垩世早-中期(周家店组—南雄组沉积早期)走滑张扭断(坳)陷盆地、晚白垩世晚期(南雄组沉积中-晚期)走滑伸展盆地和古近纪坳陷盆地等演化阶段,东南部断陷区(江埠—二甲村凹陷)由于喜马拉雅期的隆升剥蚀而只残存周家店组早期坳陷和周家店组中期—南雄组中期断陷两个发育阶段的沉积。

This paper presents the results of a set of numerical models focussing on structural controls on hydrothermal mineralization.We first give an overview of natural phenomena of structurally-controlled ore formation and the background theory and mechanisms for such controls. We then provide the results of a group of simple 2D numerical models validated through comparison with Cu-vein structure observed near the Shilu Copper deposit(Yangchun,Guangdong Province, China) and finally a case study of 3D numerical modelling applied to the Hodgkinson Province in North Queensland(Australia).Two modelling approaches,discrete deformation modelling and continuum coupled deformation and fluid flow modelling,are involved.The 2D model-derived patterns are remarkably consistent with the Cu-vein structure from the Shilu Copper deposit,and show that both modelling approaches can realistically simulate the mechanical behaviours of shear and dilatant fractures.The continuum coupled deformation and fluid flow model indicates that pattern of the Cuveins near the Shilu deposit is the result of shear strain localization,development of dilation and fluid focussing into the dilatant fracture segments.The 3D case-study models(with deformation and fluid flow coupling) on the Hodgkinson Province generated a number of potential gold mineralization targets.
