Effects of Deep Fluids on Hydrocarbon Generation and Accumulation in Chinese Petroliferous Basins

Deep fluids in a petroliferous basin generally come from the deep crust or mantle beneath the basin basement, and they transport deep substances(gases and aqueous solutions) as well as heat to sedimentary strata through deep faults. These deep fluids not only lead to large-scale accumulations of CO_2, CH_4, H_2, He and other gases, but also significantly impact hydrocarbon generation and accumulation through organic-inorganic interactions. With the development of deep faults and magmatic-volcanic activities in different periods, most Chinese petroliferous basins have experienced strong impacts associated with deep fluid activity. In the Songliao, Bohai Bay, Northern Jiangsu, Sanshui, Yinggehai and Pearl Mouth Basins in China, a series of CO_2 reservoirs have been discovered. The CO_2 content is up to 99%, with δ~(13)C_(CO2) values ranging from-4.1‰ to-0.37‰ and ~3He/~4He ratios of up to 5.5 Ra. The abiogenic hydrocarbon gas reservoirs with commercial reserves, such as the Changde, Wanjinta, Zhaozhou, and Chaoyanggou reservoirs, are mainly distributed in the Xujiaweizi faulted depression of the Songliao Basin. The δ~(13)CCH4 values of the abiogenic alkane gases are generally -30‰ and exhibit an inverse carbon isotope sequence of δ~(13)C_(CH4)δ~(13)C_(C2H6)δ~(13)C_(C3H8)δ~(13)C_(C4H10). According to laboratory experiments, introducing external H_2 can improve the rate of hydrocarbon generation by up to 147% through the kerogen hydrogenation process. During the migration from deep to shallow depth, CO_2 can significantly alter reservoir rocks. In clastic reservoirs, feldspar is easily altered by CO_2-rich fluids, leading to the formation of dawsonite, a typical mineral in high CO_2 partial pressure environments, as well as the creation of secondary porosity. In carbonate reservoirs, CO_2-rich fluids predominately cause dissolution or precipitation of carbonate minerals. The minerals, e.g., calcite and dolomite, show some typical features, such as higher homogenization temperatures than the burial temperature, relatively high concentrations of Fe and Mn, positive Eu anomalies, depletion of 18 O and enrichment of radiogenic ~(87)Sr. Due to CO_2-rich fluids, the development of high-quality carbonate reservoirs is extended to deep strata. For example, the Well TS1 in the northern Tarim Basin revealed a high-quality Cambrian dolomite reservoir with a porosity of 9.1% at 8408 m, and the Well ZS1 C in the central Tarim Basin revealed a large petroleum reserve in a Cambrian dolomite reservoir at ~6900 m. During the upward migration from deep to shallow basin strata, large volumes of supercritical CO_2 may extract petroleum components from hydrocarbon source rocks or deep reservoirs and facilitate their migration to shallow reservoirs, where the petroleum accumulates with the CO_2. Many reservoirs containing both supercritical CO_2 and petroleum have been discovered in the Songliao, Bohaiwan, Northern Jiangsu, Pearl River Mouth and Yinggehai Basins. The components of the petroleum trapped with CO_2 are dominated by low molecular weight saturated hydrocarbons.     

塔里木盆地西南地区早中寒武世岩相古地理

塔里木盆地西南地区早中寒武世岩相古地理存在一定争议,这制约了该区的勘探评价。综合利用露头、钻井和地震资料,开展沉积相、地震相分析,并结合区域构造背景,恢复了岩相古地理格局,提出了相应的沉积模式。中下寒武统发育陆棚相、开阔台地相、局限台地相、蒸发台地相和缓坡相。震旦纪末期麦盖提斜坡南部形成水下低隆起,向南在西南坳陷区残留部分被动陆缘,主要发育缓坡相、陆棚相;麦盖提斜坡区地势较高,地层较薄,主要发育局限台地和蒸发台地潮坪;巴楚隆起区水体局限,在干燥炎热气候下形成了厚度较大的蒸发台地膏盐湖沉积。巴楚隆起区和麦盖提斜坡区中下寒武统膏盐岩分布广泛,与下伏碳酸盐岩可构成良好的储盖组合,西南坳陷区残留部分被动陆缘,烃源岩发育条件较好,这表明塔西南具有较好的油气前景。     

Fractures: Finite-size scaling and multifractals

The distributions of contact area and void space in single fractures in granite rock have been determined experimentally by making metal casts of the void spaces between the fracture surfaces under normal loads. The resulting metal casts on 52 cm diameter core samples show a complex geometry for the flow paths through the fracture. This geometry is analyzed using finite-size scaling. The spanning probabilities and percolation probabilities of the metal casts are calculted as functions of observation scale. Under the highest stresses of 33 MPa and 85 MPa there is a significant size-dependence of the geometric flow properties for observation scales smaller than 2 mm. Based on this data, the macroscopic percolation properties of the extended fracture can be well represented by relatively small core samples, even under normal stresses larger than 33 MPa. The metal casts also have rich multifractal structure that changes with changing stress.

火山岩盖层类型及封气能力——以松辽盆地徐家围子断陷为例

利用钻井、测井和分析测试资料,对徐家围子断陷火山岩盖层类型、识别标志、分布、封闭能力和对天然气成藏与分布的控制作用进行了研究,认为徐家围子断陷火山岩盖层分为火山碎屑岩和火山熔岩盖层2种。火山碎屑岩盖层主要是凝灰岩和火山角砾岩,具有井径扩容、电阻率小和高声波时差特征;火山熔岩盖层主要为流纹岩、凝灰岩和安山岩,具有井径不扩容、电阻率中等和低声波时差特征。利用高声波时差和声波时差值小于56 μs/ft可以分别识别火山碎屑岩盖层和火山熔岩盖层。火山碎屑岩盖层区域分布在断陷南部下白垩统营城组一段火山岩体的顶部,火山熔岩盖层局部分布在营一段和营三段火山岩体内部。火山碎屑岩盖层较火山熔岩盖层具有更强的封气能力,火山碎屑岩盖层控制着徐家围子断陷火山岩中天然气的区域聚集与分布,火山熔岩盖层仅控制着天然气在火山岩体中的局部聚集与分布。

三峡水库碳酸盐岩区岩溶作用与斜坡破坏

三峡水库峡谷区矗立着大量岩溶不稳定库岸,危及长江黄金水道安全。采用野外勘查和力学分析,对三峡库区碳酸盐岩区岩溶作用与斜坡破坏关系进行深入研究。野外勘查发现,三峡库区碳酸盐岩库岸存在许多与溶洞、溶隙、溶蚀带、溶槽、溶沟等表层岩溶作用有关的斜坡不稳定现象。巫峡段库岸内共发育岩溶地质灾害及隐患点186处,其中滑坡隐患点37处,大型以上危岩体6个。岩体力学分析表明：强降雨、蓄水和岩体劣化会因为有效应力减少、强度下降而造成破裂的节理/裂隙逐渐扩大。同时,水位变动带岩体劣化的裂缝扩展速率比三峡的平均溶蚀率高出约1 300倍,极大地加快了已经进入屈服状态的不稳定岩体的演化进程。溶蚀作用是岩溶岸坡中最基本的作用,库水长期波动加快了岩溶岸坡演化。本次研究将为三峡库区峡谷段不稳定库岸识别和防灾减灾提供技术支撑。     

三峡工程库区岩溶岸坡岩体劣化及其灾变效应

三峡工程库区175 m试验性蓄水10 多年后,峡谷区岩溶岸坡水位变动带岩体劣化强烈,新生或加速形成了大量地质灾害,引起研究人员和政府的广泛关注。文章从微细观到宏观、由点到面,采用野外调查、室内试验分析了三峡库区岩溶岸坡岩体劣化及其灾变效应。野外调查显示,溶蚀岩体劣化集中发育于三峡、大宁河等干支流峡谷区域,其中以巫峡共约10 km长的岸坡最为典型。溶蚀岩体劣化机制包括以机械搬运为主的物理机制、以溶蚀/溶解为主的化学机制和以应力腐蚀断裂为主的力学机制。岩体劣化导致溶蚀岩体结构降级,岸坡局部持续形变。岩体劣化、岩溶水动力作用、岸坡形变相互促进,推动了岸坡灾变的发生。大量案例表明,岩溶岸坡岩体劣化引起灾变效应早期,破坏浅表层、岸坡不断后退。岩体劣化影响下岩溶岸坡破坏模式包括崩塌、滑移和倾倒3种主要类型。库水位长期变动导致的溶蚀岩体劣化带来了前所未有的高陡岸坡灾变威胁,可能将三峡库区地质灾害带入新的发育阶段。本研究将为三峡库区岩溶地质灾害隐患点识别与防灾减灾提供技术支撑。
