断陷湖盆中强制湖退沉积作用及其成因机制

断陷湖盆中相对湖平面下降引起的湖退作用称之为强制湖退作用。强制湖退作用时期若存在沉积物供给盆地,将加速湖退作用,并形成一套具有明显前积结构的强制湖退前积体。强制湖退前积体的顶积层不发育,地震剖面上具斜交前积反射结构。强制湖退前积体的顶界面为层序界面,且伴随有下切谷的形成。气候变化、构造抬升和边界断层的幕式断陷活动引起的盆地缓坡带基底差异沉降运动均可引起断陷湖盆中相对湖平面的下降,也是引起强制湖退作用的三大成因机制。强制湖退前积体具有良好的油气成藏条件,是隐蔽油气藏有利勘探目标。     

Lacustrine stromatolites: Useful structures for environmental interpretation – an example from the Miocene Ebro Basin

The significance of stromatolites as depositional environmental indicators and the underlying causes of lamination in the lacustrine realm are poorly understood. Stromatolites in a ca 600 m thick Miocene succession in the Ebro Basin are good candidates to shed light on these issues because they are intimately related to other lacustrine carbonate and sulphate facies, grew under variable environmental conditions and show distinct lamination patterns. These stromatolites are associated with wave‐related, clastic‐carbonate laminated limestones. Both facies consist of calcite and variable amounts of dolomite. Thin planar stromatolites (up to 10 cm thick and less than 6 m long) occurred in very shallow water. These stromatolites represented first biological colonization after: (i) subaerial exposure in the palustrine environment (i.e. at the beginning of deepening cycles); or (ii) erosion due to surge action, then coating very irregular surfaces on laminated limestones (i.e. through shallowing or deepening cycles). Sometimes they are associated with evaporative pumping. Stratiform stromatolites (10 to 30 cm high and tens of metres long) and domed stromatolites (10 to 30 cm high and long) developed in deeper settings, between the surge periods that produced hummocky cross‐stratification and horizontal lamination offshore. Changes in stromatolite lamina shape, and thus in the growth forms through time, can be attributed to changes in water depth, whereas variations in lamina continuity are linked to water energy and sediment supply. Growth of the stromatolites resulted from in situ calcite precipitation and capture of minor amounts of fine‐grained carbonate particles. Based on texture, four types of simple laminae are distinguished. The simple micrite and microsparite laminae can be grouped into light and dark composite laminae, which represent, respectively, high and low Precipitation/Evaporation ratio periods. Different lamination patterns provide new ideas for the interpretation of microbial laminations as a function of variations in climate‐dependent parameters (primarily the Precipitation/Evaporation ratio) over variable timescales.     

Formation of magnesium‐smectite during lacustrine carbonates early diagenesis: Study case of the volcanic crater lake Dziani Dzaha (Mayotte – Indian Ocean)

The volcanic crater lake of Dziani Dzaha in Mayotte is studied to constrain the geochemical settings and the diagenetic processes at the origin of Mg‐phyllosilicates associated with carbonate rocks. The Dziani Dzaha is characterized by intense primary productivity, volcanic gases bubbling in three locations and a volcanic catchment of phonolitic/alkaline composition. The lake water has an alkalinity of ca 0·2 mol l^?1 and pH values of ca 9·3. Cores of the lake sediments reaching up to one metre in length were collected and studied by means of carbon–hydrogen–nitrogen elemental analyzer, X‐ray fluorescence spectrometry and X‐ray powder diffraction. In surface sediments, the content of total organic carbon reaches up to 20 weight %. The mineral content consists of aragonite and hydromagnesite with minor amounts of alkaline feldspar and clinopyroxene from the volcanic catchment. Below 30 cm depth, X‐ray diffraction analyses of the <2 μm clay fraction indicate the presence of a saponite‐like mineral, a Mg‐rich smectite. The saponite‐like mineral accumulates at depth to reach up to ca 30 weight %, concurrent with a decrease of the contents of hydromagnesite and organic matter. Thermodynamic considerations and mineral assemblages suggest that the evolution of the sediment composition resulted from early diagenetic reactions. The formation of the saponite‐like mineral instead of Al‐free Mg‐silicates resulted from high aluminum availability, which is favoured in restricted lacustrine environments hosted in alkaline volcanic terrains commonly emplaced during early stages of continental rifting. Supersaturation of the lake water relative to saponite is especially due to high pH values, themselves derived from high primary productivity. This suggests that a genetic link may exist between saponite and the development of organic‐rich carbonate rocks, which may be fuelled by the input of CO₂‐rich volcanic gases. This provides novel insights into the composition and formation of saponite‐rich deposits under a specific geodynamic context such as the Cretaceous South Atlantic carbonate reservoirs.

Paleogene and Early Neogene Lacustrine Reefs in the WesternQaidam Basin, China

Typical reefs in the Paleogene and early Neogene strata of the Qaidam Basin, Tibetan Plateau, China, reveal their internal structures and sedimentation environments and consist mainly of algal reef, stromatolite reef and thrombolite reef with distinct reef structures, fore-reef, back-reef and reef-plateau. The fore-reef is characterized by a combination of pinnacle reef, thrombolite and algal reef. The back reef is composed of stromatolite reef and algal reef. The pinnacle reefs (micro-atoll), most of which are several tens of centimeters in diameter (whereas some exceptionally big ones are over 200 cm in diameter), and several tens of centimeter to 2 m in height, are situated on the far front-edge of the reef; the pinnacle reef is also often of recumbent form with a gravel-filled circular hole in the center. The algal reef is in the form of dome and irregular beds, and filled with algal detritus, ostracodes, spirorbis fossils, ooid and terrigenous debris, and worm traces; cavities and scour marks are of     

河套盆地西山咀凸起区湖相地层的发现及其测年

在位于河套盆地内部的西山咀凸起区发现了典型的湖滩岩、湖蚀平台和一套较完整的湖相沉积地层。基于海拔高程的推断,地貌和地层沉积记录指示西山咀地区曾经存在过一个海拔达到1080 m上下的古湖面。完整的沉积地层反映西山咀凸起区经历了深湖相-滨湖相-冲洪积相-风成堆积的演变过程。光释光测年结果表明,在距今65 ka 前后,“吉兰泰-河套”古大湖在西山咀地区曾经连通;但在距今约50~30 ka 湖面再没有上涨。这一研究表明：在MIS 3 阶段某一时期,该地区的古湖面发生衰退。随后,再没有发育高于“吉兰泰-河套”古大湖最高湖面的湖泊。     

地堑式断陷盆地储层流体综合识别——以伊通盆地岔路河断陷为例

伊通盆地岔路河断陷古近系为地堑式断陷盆地沉积,其储层主要为重力流成因的湖泊水下扇,具有物源近、堆积速率快、岩性复杂多变的特征,加之后期成岩作用的影响,造成这类砂体物性变异系数大,非均质程度高。储层内部含流体时,流体性质难以识别,易造成测井解释上油气水层的误判。为了能够应用常规测井资料评价此类油气储层,提高测井解释的成功率,通过综合分析本区储层岩性、物性和含油气性特征,结合试油结果建立了本区岩性、物性及含油气性解释模型。岔路河断陷测井解释参数交汇图版可以明显区分出气层、油层、气水同层、油水同层、水层和干层等不同的地层油气产状。图版显示:岔路河断陷产油气储层含油饱和度下限为20%,并且产气层比产油层具有更高的深浅双侧向电阻率差值;纯水层虽然具有较好的物性条件,但含油饱和度均小于20%;干层泥质体积分数均大于22%,总孔隙度小于10.5%,物性变差,一般为无效储层。

Highstands in the interior of the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau since the last interglacial: evidence from grain‐size analysis of lacustrine core sediments in Zabuye Salt Lake

Highstands in the Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 3 based on ¹⁴C dating in the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau (QTP) are widely documented. Recent records from shoreline sediments dated using U‐series and/or optically stimulated luminescence (OSL), however, reveal that the highstands originally dated in MIS 3 should now be considered to fall in MIS 5. This paper provides new evidence from the interior of the QTP, based on the grain‐size from a continuous lake core in the Zabuye Salt Lake, to verify the MIS 5 highstand in the QTP. Grain‐size analysis of the core sediments also distinguishes two other highstands in MIS 3 and MIS 2, respectively. The MIS 5 highstand is considered as the maximum lake level since the Last Interglacial, as cored sediments contain very low values of Median Diameter (Md) during MIS 5. Compared with the discontinuous records from lake shorelines sediments, the grain‐size records from the continuous lake centre core sediments provide a more complete dataset to infer lake level variations, and make it possible to make wider palaeoclimatic and palaeoenvironmental interpretation. In the interior of the QTP, highstands might have continued into cold climate periods due to the reduced evaporation rates in the latter. The influence of the moisture‐bearing southerly‐shifted Westerly wind pathway may also have contributed to the highstands in the glacial period. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
