塔里木古生界残余盆地的油气资源及勘探前景

塔里木盆地是多旋回叠合盆地,主要烃源岩为奥陶系和寒武系,其古生界盆地经历过海西早期、海西晚期和燕山晚期等三期主要构造运动,现今具典型的残余盆地性质。开发了三维油气盆地定量描述和动态模拟软件系统,对塔里木盆地进行了全面研究。三期构造运动所剥蚀的(古生界)排油气损失量之和约占累积排油气量的12%左右。其中以海西早期剥蚀的排油气损失量最大,达263×10~8t;奥陶系排油气损失最严重,其次为寒武系。塔里木盆地的油气资源潜量仍十分巨大,油127×10~8t,气68×10~8t 油当量。含四个石油资源潜量富集区,按强度依次为满加尔蚴陷、唐古巴斯坳陷、阿瓦提坳陷和巴楚隆起;天然气资源潜量富集区三个,依次为满加尔坳陷、唐古巴斯坳陷和阿瓦提坳陷。且末北部有一个从石炭纪以来长期继承性发育的鼻状隆起带,是满加尔坳陷的油气运移指向地区,有可能形成大型复合油气田。     

MODELING SEDIMENT PROCESSES ON SMALL WATERSHEDS:A CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK Ⅰ. BROAD SHALLOW FLOW PROCESSE

A conceptual modeling framework for developing process-based mathematical models of sediment generation, transport, and deposition on broad shallow flow areas is presented. The governing equations relevant to process-based modeling of broad shallow flow sediment processes on small watersheds are presented and the effects of space and time averaging on the predictive equations are described. Starting from the most general one-dimensional, unsteady model of sediment processes, simpler model structures are obtained and the successive simplifications made on the governing equations in order to obtain simpler and less detailed formulations are described. Specific model formulations are given for illustrative purposes and applications of these models to erosion and sediment yield prediction from broad shallow flow areas are shown using sediment data from rainfall simulator plots. In spite of some progress made in the development of process-based erosion and sediment yield models from broad shallow flow areas, further developmental modeling efforts must be based on a clear separation between hydrologic and hydraulic processes, and the soil properties which are significant for each.     

Hillslope erosion by rainstorms–a magnitude-frequency analysis

Daily rainfall data for four stations in Europe and east Africa are used to obtain, by means of magnitude-frequency analysis, a measure of the Cumulative Erosion Potential (CEP) that takes into account rainfall characteristics, soil water storage, and granulometric properties of soils. The CEP has the advantage of being calculated from generally available published rainfall data, so that wide regional coverage is possible. Together with additional data on the surface configuration and on seasonal variations of rainfall and plant cover, the CEP can provide a basis for estimating hillslope erosion by overland flow.     

Relationships between deflation and near surface wind velocity in a coastal dune blowout

Detailed field measurements were made of the degree of surface level change in a blowout, situated in the coastal dune area of Meijendel, The Netherlands. A formula was established to express the erosivity of the wind for the corresponding 34 measurement intervals, over a period of about 3 years. Having established, for 12 wind sectors, the relationship between wind velocity at the nearest standard weather station and at five locations in the blowout, correlations were derived between the deflation rate in the blowout and the wind erosivity using standard hourly wind data. The winter season, although the most windy, is by far the least effective season: the threshold shear wind velocity is disproportionally increased because the moisture content of the surface sand is high. The soil moisture conditions are described as a function of the daily precipitation and evaporation rate. The two most relevant upper and lower threshold shear wind velocities are determined empirically. During the summer season, deflation rate is even higher than indicated by the net surface level change because deflation is partly compensated by deposition of sand transported by rainwash from the blowout margin. With regard to spatial variation in the deflation rate within the blowout, it appears that locations with relatively high velocities coincide with higher deflation rates. However, the spatial variation is commonly less than is expected from the horizontal wind velocity distribution. In view of this the role of wind direction, blowout morphology and algal coverage of the soil in the deflation rate is discussed.     

Erosion processes and rates for gullies in granitic soils bathurst,new south wales,australia

Soil movement rates from fluted gully sides in New South Wales were measured over three years by erosion pins and survey. Erosion rates varied considerably over short distances from 0 to 53 mm yr^?1 with an average removal rate of 19-8 mm yr^?1.     

Characteristics of coastal erosion geometry under regular and irregular waves

An experimental investigation of coastal erosion generated by the action of regular and irregular waves was carried out in laboratory channels. Natural beach sand, with medium diameter of 0.35 mm and specific gravity of 2.63, was used in this study. A 1:5 initial beach slope was selected for the model tests. Different wave groups were generated over the initially flat beach, and the characteristics of coastal erosion geometry such as erosion lengths, erosion depths, location of maximum erosion point, and total erosion areas were measured. The most important parameters governing coastal erosion were evaluated by using earlier investigations and experimental results. These parameters were expressed as a dimensionless group by using π theory. The empirical relationships between the geometric characteristics of coastal erosion and the dimensionless group are proposed through regression analysis for pure regular waves, pure irregular waves, and regular-irregular waves. The parameters, which were used to define geometric characteristics of coastal erosion, were evaluated and some ratios of these parameters gave a constant value.     

Differential subsidence driving the formation of mounded stratigraphy in deep-water sediments; Palaeocene, central North Sea

Deep-water Palaeocene strata of the East Central Graben, UK North Sea, are characterised by elongate depressions and elevations parallel with the palaeotransport direction and with underlying structural lineaments. Palaeozoic and mesozoic faults underlying the basin were briefly re-activated during the Palaeocene, affecting the seabed topography in the form of gentle folding, faulting and slope instability. Two types of mounded features formed in response to the tectonically induced seabed structuration: (i) deformational mounded morphology, a product of syndepositional faulting and mass wasting, (ii) non-deformational mounded morphology, interpreted to result from changing flow dynamics as flows travelled over the deformed sea floor, accentuating the structural topography by means of localised erosion and deposition. This study shows how differential subsidence acted as the ultimate control behind a range of processes leading to mounded stratigraphy. The models of the origin of the mounded morphologies are novel in the context of the North-Sea Palaeocene and have implications for the prediction of lithology in mounded basinal deposits, in the North Sea and elsewhere.     

海河口地区全新世海侵层的相变与海面波动的对应关系

B_2孔揭示海河口地区全新世海侵层厚达19.2m,自下往上依次出现潮间滩、近岸浅海、前三角洲、三角洲湾、河口砂坝及河口边滩六个亚相,下部两个亚相呈海进层序,上部四个亚相呈海退层序。除河口边滩亚相底界外,其他所有亚相间的界面均为不连续面,显示海侵层为不连续沉积。研究表明该不连续沉积与海面波动有关.在全新世海侵高峰后,海面一直处于幅度不大(约1m 左右)的振荡运动状态,一次振荡波就在海岸线上留下一道贝壳堤,近5000余年来发生了5次振荡波,在海退平原中就有5道贝克堤与之对应。B_2孔海退层序中曲不连续面与贝壳堤基底侵蚀面相对应,也与振荡波的上升坡段相对应。海退层序所表现出来的海岸向海推进现象不是海面大幅度下降的反映,而主要是河口区沉积物迅速加积的结果。
