Deep sea circulation of particulate organic carbon in the Japan Sea

Seasonal and spatial variations of particulate organic carbon (POC) flux were observed with sediment traps at three sites in the Japan Sea (western and eastern Japan Basin and Yamato Basin). In order to investigate the transport processes of POC, radiocarbon (¹⁴C) measurements were also carried out. Annual mean POC flux at 1 km depth was 30.7 mg m⁻²day⁻¹ in the western Japan Basin, 12.0 mg m⁻²day⁻¹ in the eastern Japan Basin and 23.8 mg m⁻²day⁻¹ in the Yamato Basin. At all stations, notably higher POC flux was observed in spring (March–May), indicating biological production and rapid sinking of POC in this season. Sinking POC in the high flux season showed modern Δ¹⁴C values (>0‰) and aged POC (Δ¹⁴C < −40‰) was observed in winter (December–January). The Δ¹⁴C values in sinking POC were negatively correlated with aluminum concentration, indicating that Δ¹⁴C is strongly related to the lateral supply of lithogenic materials. The Δ¹⁴C values also showed correlations with excess manganese (Mn_xs) concentrations in sinking particles. The Δ¹⁴C-Mn_xs relationship suggested that (1) the majority of the aged POC was advected by bottom currents and incorporated into sinking particles, and (2) some of the aged POC might be supplied from the sea surface at the trap site as part of terrestrial POC. From the difference in the Δ¹⁴C-Mn_xs relationships between the Japan Basin and the Yamato Basin, we consider that basin-scale transport processes of POC occur in the Japan Sea.     

Sulfur stable isotopes indicate the source of sinking materials in a coastal bay: Otsuchi Bay,Sanriku, Japan

Through 2004 and 2005, δ ³⁴S of sinking material from Otsuchi Bay was measured at the center and rocky shore of the bay. At the center of the bay δ ³⁴S was high (18∼21‰) in the material collected from April to November. However, δ ³⁴S was low (9∼14‰) in the material collected from December to March. The increase in δ ³⁴S in April was attributed to an increase in phytoplankton biomass because marine phytoplanktonic δ ³⁴S is high. When δ ³⁴S of sinking material was low, input of riverine material or bottom sediment resuspension were considered as the probable causes, because their δ ³⁴S is low. Marine sulfur was always high (more than 70%) at both stations. The difference between the δ ³⁴S of sinking material collected from the different sampling stations indicates that marine macroalgae contribute to sinking material near the shore when phytoplankton is scarce. In conclusion, the relative influence of different material sources to sinking materials could be successfully estimated using δ ³⁴S.     

断层圈闭形成机制及时空配置有效性评价——以歧口凹陷歧南斜坡为例

断层的分段生长和连接控制着断层圈闭的形成,为了研究断层形成过程对圈闭形成的控制作用,应用位移/离距法和位移梯度比法判别断层相互作用阶段,落实断层圈闭的空间匹配有效性。针对空间匹配的断层圈闭,应用最大断距相减法开展断层圈闭形成时期的研究,在成藏关键时期前形成的断层圈闭是油气有利聚集的部位。本文以歧口凹陷歧南斜坡的南大港同向断层与扣村反向断层为例,开展断层圈闭时空配置有效性评价,研究结果表明油气多分布在同时具备空间和时间匹配有效的断层圈闭内,仅具备空间或时间匹配有效性的断层圈闭中未见油气聚集。因此,通过对未钻探断层圈闭开展时空匹配有效性评价,能够有效地降低勘探开发的风险。     

塔里木盆地车尔臣断裂带构造--岩相特征及形成机理探讨

车尔臣断裂带的构造特征、寒武系-下奥陶统地层地震相特征与沉积相展布、构造与岩相之间关系的研究表明,车尔臣断裂构造带具有“三段式”结构。西段与东段相似,为巨厚的碳酸盐岩建造,刚性强,以断裂形式释放应力,所形成的构造带成排发育,圈闭面积小而个数多;中段塔东低凸起以泥岩建造为主,岩层刚性弱,以塑性变形为主,构造带不发育,构造样式主要为古生界的宽缓背斜,圈闭面积大而个数少。通过沉积相和构造综合研究证实存在2个岩性圈闭带：古城奥陶系礁滩相岩性圈闭带和罗布泊奥陶系礁滩相构造-岩性复合圈闭带。

博兴洼陷油气勘探已进入隐蔽油气藏为主的勘探阶段,储集砂体的分布,尤其是能够形成地层岩性油藏的有利储集砂体的分布,是油气勘探的关键.研究区主要发育有浊积扇、辫状三角洲前缘和近岸水下扇三种类型的储集砂体,其中浊积扇扇体是岩性圈闭勘探的最有利砂体.通过已发现油气藏的地层位置分析,发现MSC8、MSC7、MSC6、MSC5、MSC2旋回的上升半旋回是有利储集砂体发育的主要层段,浊积扇砂体发育,且具有有利的油气成藏条件.平面上,MSC8旋回的有利储集砂体主要发育在高青断层东南侧的狭长区域内,MSC5、MSC6、MSC7旋回的有利储集砂体发育在坡折带之下的洼陷区.综合上述分析,预测了坡折带下部洼陷区、高青断裂下降盘和高24-高27井间区域3个岩性和构造-岩性圈闭勘探有利区.

试论“临界成矿地质条件”

“临界成矿地质条件”系指具有“临界性质”的成矿地质条件。沉积或受变质沉积矿床的临界成矿地质条件主要是古地理和水动力条件 ;内生矿床的临界成矿地质条件主要是构造条件 ;石油的生油和贮油条件所表现出的临界性质十分明显 ;风化矿床的临界成矿地质条件主要是水文地质条件、构造条件。临界成矿地质条件应该是各类矿床都具备的 ,但在不同矿床中的表现形式不同。深入研究临界成矿地质条件可以促进矿床学的进展 ,达到定量化的境地 ,同时成矿预测不应只是简单地据其某些大致相似的条件去类比、预测 ,而要努力寻找并发现最关键的具有临界性质的成矿地质条件 ,这样才不致使预测工作陷于盲目。

塔里木盆地塔中地区主要构造圈闭形成期分布及成藏意义

通过对塔中地区钻遇奥陶系的60余口井过井地震剖面的精细解释及地震反射截切—上超关系、沉积厚度变化分析,识别出最初形成于晚奥陶世—泥盆纪、石炭纪—早二叠世、早二叠世晚期及中、新生代的四期奥陶系内幕构造圈闭,以及最初形成于石炭纪—早二叠世、早二叠世晚期、晚二叠世、中—晚三叠世及早第三纪末以来的五期石炭系内幕构造圈闭;发现了塔中地区主要构造圈闭的首次形成期呈现由南向北逐渐变晚的总体趋势。构造圈闭形成与成藏配套综合分析表明,该区现今工业性油藏的主要成藏期为二叠纪—早三叠世,而中—晚三叠世及其以后所形成的构造圈闭不利于油藏的形成。认为塔中地区的主力烃源应该来自近邻的满加尔凹陷中—上奥陶统相当于黑土凹组—萨尔干组的层段。
