Reservoir-forming features of abiotic origin gas in Songliao Basin

The vertical structure of the crustal block of the Songliao Basin can be divided into upper, middle and low Earth’s crust according to density. There is an about 3-km-thick low density interval between the upper crust and the middle crust. This interval may be a magma chamber accumulated in crust by “fluid phase” which is precipitated and separated from upper mantle meltmass. The abiogenetic natural gas, other gaseous mass and hydrothermal fluids are provided to the Songliao rifted basin through crustal faults and natural earthquakes. This is a basic condition to form an abiogenetic gas reservoir in the Songliao Basin. On both flanks of the upper crust (or named basin basement) fault there are structural traps in and above the basement and unconformity surface or lateral extended sand, which contains communicated pores, as migration pathway and natural gas reservoir; up to gas reservoirs there is shale as enclosed cap rock, and the suitable arrangement of these conditions is the basic features of abiogenetic gas reservoir.

Particle accumulation in a cylindrical sediment trap under laminar and turbulent steady flow: An experimental approach

The hydrodynamical, fluid and particle parameters which control flushing rates, flow cells, and accumulation rates of particulate matter in cylindrical (MultiPIT) sediment traps were quantified in a flume simulation using a seeding technique for 25–45 µm particles. Particle collection was found to be a trap- and particle-specific filtering process encompassing advective and gravitational entry of particles over a reduced trap aperture area, and gravitational-turbulent removal of particles at the bottom of the internal flow cell. Trapping efficiency increased up to 10-fold with increasing horizontal flow velocity (1–30 cm · s^–1). For given flow velocity, the trap over-and undercollected particles relative to their weight, i.e. (theoretical) Stokes settling velocity. The trapping efficiency increased with increasing trap Reynolds number Re_T, changed by the approaching velocity in our experiments. Opposite findings from earlier experiments using the flume seeding technique and changing Re_T by altering the trap diameter (Butman, 1986) are discussed. Semi-empirical equations are derived for the accumulation process of light, heavy and intermediate particles. From these, measured trap fluxes can be converted into in-situ verticle particle flux except for light particles.     

塔里木盆地满加尔坳陷的演化过程及石油地质特征

以盆地演化为背景，将满加尔坳陷的盖层演化过程划分为三大构造旋回、五个演化阶段：１．震旦－泥盆纪克拉通盆地旋回，２．石炭－二叠纪类前陆盆地旋回，３．中新生代前陆盆地和再生前陆盆地旋回；①震旦纪－早奥陶世克拉通裂解伸展阶段，②中奥陶世－泥盆纪挤压挠曲盆地阶段，③石炭－二叠纪克拉通内坳陷盆地阶段；④三叠－侏罗纪前陆盆地阶段，⑤白垩纪－新生代再生前陆盆地阶段．通过对“三套两类”生油岩（寒武－奥陶系、石炭系、三叠－侏罗系）及局部构造特征的研究，认为满加尔坳陷是烃类的生成供给区，而不是烃类聚集成藏的有利地区。油气勘探的重点是南、北及西侧斜坡地带的地层圈闭。

Anomalous Large Scavenging of 230Th and 231Pa Controlled by Particle Composition in the Northwestern North Pacific

We report the role of particle composition and lateral particle movement that influences the oceanic distribution of ²³¹Pa and ²³⁰Th. Settling particles were collected during sediment trap experiments. These and surface sediments were obtained from five stations along 38 to 44°N in the northwestern North Pacific. The high total mass flux and seasonal variations in the marginal area of the western North Pacific are controlled by the supply of lithogenic materials and primary productivity. The high content of the lithogenic material in the settling particles in this area contributes to ²³⁰Th_ex fluxes that exceed the local rate of supply. The lithogenic materials are important as a carrier of ²³⁰Th and contribute to the fractionation between ²³⁰Th and ²³¹Pa in the ocean, as the ²³¹Pa_ex/²³⁰Th_ex ratio in the settling particles decreases with increasing ²³²Th concentration. The ²³¹Pa_ex/²³⁰Th_ex ratio in the settling particles collected in the abyssal basin decreases with water depth, which indicates that lateral transport of the lithogenic particles from the marginal area and/or shallower depth plays an important role in determining the ²³¹Pa_ex/²³⁰Th_ex ratio in a population of settling particles and remineralization. This indicates that lateral redistribution of particles and sediment focusing influence the ²³¹Pa_ex/²³⁰Th_ex ratios in surface sediments. Thus, the observations reported here mean that the use of the sediment ²³¹Pa_ex/²³⁰Th_ex ratio as a paleoproductivity proxy will be problematic in the northwestern North Pacific. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

The effect of a submarine canyon on the river sediment dispersal and inner shelf sediment movements in southern Taiwan

This study examines the influence of a submarine canyon on the dispersal of sediments discharged by a nearby river and on the sediment movement on the inner shelf. The study area includes the head region of the Kao-ping Submarine Canyon whose landward terminus is located approximately 1 km seaward from the mouth of the Kao-ping River in southern Taiwan. Within the study area 143 surficial sediment samples were taken from the seafloor. Six hydrographic surveys along the axis of the submarine canyon were also conducted over the span of 1 yr. Three different approaches were used in the analysis of grain-size distribution pattern. They include (1) a combination of ‘filtering’ and the empirical orthogonal (eigen) function (EOF) analysis technique, (2) the McLaren Model, and (3) the ‘transport vector’ technique. The results of the three methods not only agree with one another, they also complement one another. This study reveals that the Kao-ping Submarine Canyon is relatively a stratified and statically stable environment. The hydrographic characteristics of the canyon display seasonal variability controlled primarily by the temperature field and the effluent of the Kao-ping River. The hydrographic condition and the bottom topography in the canyon suggest the propagation of internal tides during the flood season (summer) of the Kao-ping River. The submarine canyon acts as a trap and conduit for mud exchange between the Kao-ping River and offshore. Near the head of the canyon there is a region of sediment transport convergence. This region is also characterized by high mud abundance on the seafloor that coincides with the presence of high suspended sediment concentration (SSC) spots in the bottom nepheloid layer. Outside the submarine canyon on the shelf where the evidence of wave reworking is strong, the northwestward alongshore transport dominates over the southeastward transport, which is a common theme on the west coast in southern Taiwan.
