储集层中高压流体引爆强地震的机理——以5.12汶川地震为例

目前产生地震的机制仍以弹性回跳说为主:地震是因为断层错断使岩层的弹性能释放而引发.但越来越多的学者开始质疑,仅断层错断后的弹性能,是否真能达到实际地震所释放的巨大能量.因此,有必要探讨地震初动后破坏性强震的性质及其真正的能量来源.文章根据沉积地层中的储集层及其压力的特点分析得出,储集层内含有大量的高压流体,其压力在一定...     

东海西湖凹陷温压系统与油气成藏

针对西湖凹陷存在异常温压系统的现象,利用钻井测温资料、测井声波时差压力、流体包裹体、镜质体反射率和磷灰石裂变径迹等资料对西湖凹陷的温压系统特征、类型及其对油气成藏的影响进行了系统研究。结果表明,西湖凹陷不同构造单元具有各异的温压场特征;西湖凹陷不同构造单元的温压系统类型不尽相同,其中保俶斜坡带和三潭深凹为高压型温压系统,浙东背斜带为常压型温压系统;西湖凹陷不同温压系统具有各异的流体流动样式和油气运聚规律;浙东中央背斜带内的流体能量相对最低,是研究区内有利的油气运聚区域。     

准噶尔盆地腹部盆1井西凹陷超压研究

准噶尔盆地腹部盆1井西凹陷存在明显的深部超压系统(4400m以下)。通过对超压段地质、钻井、地球物理特征的研究发现,超压段多为砂、泥岩互层,泥岩段大多几米到十几米厚,孔隙度在8%以下,已经过充分的压实,进入超压段,泥浆密度大幅增加,远大于1.2g/cm~3,砂岩、泥岩段同时具有高声波时差和低电阻率特征,井旁地震速度具有异常低值特征,超压顶面形态不规则,穿层分布,并且宏观上往往在一定的深度范围内。经过分析,欠压实以及煤层不是超压带低速的原因,烃类生成尤其是天然气生成对现今超压贡献最大。

Numerical modelling and analysis of temperature controlled density currents in Tomales Bay, California

The coastal region adjacent to Tomales Bay, California is dominated by wind-driven upwelling during spring and summer and the cold, upwelled water is moved towards Tomales Bay, entering the estuary with the flood tide. If the tidal excursion is ≥6 km and the cold water subducts beneath the warmer, less dense estuarine water, a temperature controlled density current may form and intrude towards the head of the estuary as a thermally stratified bottom layer. The numerical modelling was aimed at determining the capability of the Delft3D-FLOW model to reproduce the cold ocean water intrusion events, the response (development and progression) of these intrusions to differing physical scenarios and the comparative importance of the parameters to the intrusions. The numerical model successfully reproduced the density intrusions and showed that the persistence and break down of the density intrusions were affected by a number of physical parameters, to varying degrees. The sensitivity analysis showed that density intrusion formation is controlled by tidal conditions and ocean water temperature. The strength and persistence of the developed density intrusions are influenced by wind, insolation and estuary depth. Fresh water inflow at the head of the estuary had no impact on the density intrusions. Three-dimensional numerical modelling is thus a valuable tool in understanding the estuary and its functioning.     

Pressure cells and pressure seals in the UK Central Graben

The Central Graben of the North Sea is characterised by high levels of overpressure (up to 40 MPa overpressure at 4500 m depth). We present pressure data for Cenozoic and Mesozoic reservoirs. Palaeocene sandstones control pressures in Tertiary mudstones and Cretaceous Chalk by acting as a regional ‘drain’. We divide the Jurassic into 18 pressure cells. The rift structure of the Graben controls the magnitude of pressure in each cell. Lateral hydraulic communication exists over 10 km distance between deeply-buried terraces (> 5000 m depth) and shallow structural highs (< 4500 m depth). Lateral communication increases pressure in the structurally-elevated sandstones to the minimum stress. This dynamic process produces zones of vertical fluid flow on the Forties-Montrose High, termed Leak Points. Vertical flow at Leak Points produces a 20 MWm⁻² heat flow anomaly and controls hydrocarbon retention. Leak Points are water-wet, while deep terraces in hydraulic communication with Leak Points are condensate-bearing. The Kimmeridge Clay Fm. forms the pressure seal in deep terraces.     

Evaluating fine sediment mobilization and storage in a gravel‐bed river using controlled reservoir releases

Two controlled flow events were generated by releasing water from a reservoir into the Olewiger Bach, located near Trier, Germany. This controlled release of near bank‐full flows allowed an investigation of the fine sediment (<63 µm) mobilized from channel storage. Both a winter (November) and a summer (June) release event were generated, each having very different antecedent flow conditions. The characteristics of the release hydrographs and the associated sediment transport indicated a reverse hysteresis with more mass, but smaller grain sizes, moving on the falling limb. Fine sediment stored to a depth of 10 cm in the gravels decreased following the release events, indicating the dynamic nature and importance of channel‐stored sediments as source materials during high flow events. Sediment traps, filled with clean natural gravel, were buried in riffles before the release of the reservoir water and the total mass of fine sediment collected by the traps was measured following the events. Twice the mass of fine sediment was retained by the gravel traps compared with the natural gravels, which may be due to their altered porosity. Although the amount of fine sediment collected by the traps was not significantly related to measures of gravel structure, it was found to be significantly correlated to measures of local flow velocity and Froude number. A portion of the traps were fitted with lids to restrict surface exchange of water and sediment. These collected the highest amounts of event‐mobilized sediments, indicating that inter‐gravel lateral flows, not just surface infiltration of sediments, are important in replenishing and redistributing the channel‐stored fines. These findings regarding the magnitude and direction of fine sediment movement in gravel beds are significant in both a geomorphic and a biological context.

渤海湾盆地渤中19- 6凝析气田凝析油成熟度判定及成因意义

关于渤海湾盆地渤中19- 6凝析气田凝析油成熟度存在成熟与高成熟两种截然不同观点,尚未达到统一定论。本文综合利用轻烃、饱和烃和芳烃成熟度参数对凝析油成熟度进行了综合判定,并深入分析了凝析油和天然气的成因关系及凝析气藏形成机制。结果表明：异庚烷值与庚烷值、Ts/（Ts+Tm）与C29Ts/（C29Ts+C29H）、甲基单金刚烷指数与甲基双金刚烷指数、甲基菲指数、二苯并噻吩类成熟度参数和TNR2显示渤中19- 6凝析气田凝析油处于成熟阶段。结合天然气成熟度和储层流体包裹体特征,可知渤中19- 6凝析气田的原油成藏期早于天然气,随着晚期大量天然气的充注,油气会发生相控混溶作用形成含液态烃的气流体,当温度和压力达到混溶后烃类体系的露点以上,则形成凝析气藏。     

超压释放及其对油气运移和聚集的意义

从增压作用和减压作用相互关系的角度，探讨了超压释放的定义－超压趋向于静水压力降低的作用，根据超压释放的结果，超压释放可分为不完全释压和完全释压，依突破压力封闭的动力，超压释放可分为主动释压和被动释压。有两类不同的成因的超压释放通道，分别是自振通道和它拓普通，超压释放的主要机制有断裂活动，水力压裂，底辟作用，渗透性岩层输导作用，渗透作用，剥蚀作用和人为作用。超压释放提供了油气运移的现实动力，开拓了油气运移的通道，促进了生烃作用，有利于超压系统内的油气成藏，影响油气的分布。超压释放分析为探讨超压与油气的运聚提供了有效的方法。
