Dating formation of natural gas pools using fluid inclusion data from reservoirs

A method has been suggested which is based on the homogenization temperatures and other data of fluid inclusions from a reservoir rock, with the combination of burial and geothermal history of the hosted rock, to date the gas reservoir formation. On the basis of this, a case study of the Carboniferous-Permiangas pools in the Ordos Basin has been conducted. The results have shown that the reservoir sandstones of the gas pool were filled by gases during 125-150 Ma, earlier in the southern area and later in the northern area, which is consistentwith the basin's geological and geochemical background under which the gas pools formed.     

盆地数值模拟的研究现状及发展

盆地数值模拟是目前世界上评价沉积盆地的油气资源远景的重要方法,它的产生标志着油气资源评价工作由传统的定性描述上升到定量描述的新高度。通过计算机技术把地质、地球物理、地球化学等多方面的概念模型变为数学模型,得到定量的结果。虽然由于石油地质理论尚有一些不成熟之处,获得参数的精度也存在一定问题,但它仍然是一种很有发展前景的定量评价方法。文中指出了这种方法的发展方向。     

Control of coupling among three major factors for formation of high-efficiency gas reservoir A case study on the oolitic beach gas reservoir in Feixianguan Formation in the northeast Sichuan Basin

Through a case study of the high-efficiency gas reservoir in Feixianguan Formation in the northeast Sichuan Basin, quantitative and semi-quantitative analyses of key elements such as hydrocarbon generation, migration and accumulation, and reservoir evolution as well as their interplay in the critical moment of reservoir formation controlled by the energy field were carried out, by means of numerical modeling of the energy field. It was found that the climax time for Permian hydrocarbon generation was Late Triassic-Early Jurassic and accumulation of oil and gas has resulted in large-scale paleoreservoirs in paleostructural traps in Feixianguan Formation, a process facilitated by fractures connecting the sources. The paleoreservoirs have been turned into high-efficiency gas kitchens due to pyrolysis, which resulted from deep burial at a temperature of 170-210℃ as induced by tremendously thick sedimentation in the foreland basin of Daba Mountain in Late Jurassic-Cretaceous period. Meanwhile, abundant acid gas like H2S produced from thermo-chemical sulfate reduction （TSR） at high temperatures leads to extensive dissolution of dolostone in the paleoreservoirs, which may in turn result in modification of the reservoirs and preservation of the reservoir rock porosity. The present distribution of gas reservoirs was ultimately determined in the processes of adjustment, cooling and decompression of the paleoreservoirs resulting from intense deformation in the front of Daba Mountain during the Himalayan orogeny.     

柴达木盆地三湖坳陷浅层生物气成藏模式分析

柴达木盆地三湖地区第四系浅层生物气一直被认为完全是由第四系腐殖型有机质生成的.最新研究结果表明:(1)第四系生物气藏探明储量与源岩条件之间不匹配;(2)高分辨率地震剖面特征表明三湖坳陷气田区域第四系发育了大量的气烟囱;(3)生物气组分特征表明有热成因气混入的可能性;(4)乙烷等重烃气碳同位素特征表明三湖坳陷第四系气藏有腐泥型生物气混入;(5)三湖坳陷上第三系狮子沟组发育偏腐泥型有机质.笔者认为第四系浅层生物气藏的形成机理比较复杂,包括“下生上储”和“自生自储”两种模式,第四系的浅生物气由上第三系狮子沟组生物气与第四系生物气混合而成.

Geothermal field and its relation with coalbed methane distribution of the Qinshui Basin

The average geothermal gradient in the Qin-shui Basin, Shanxi Province, North China, estimated from temperature logging data of 20 boreholes is 28.2±1.03℃/km. The thermal conductivities of 39 rock samples are measured and 20 heat flow values are obtained. The estimated heat flow ranges from 44.75 mW7m2 to 101.81 mW/m2, with a mean of 62.69±15.20 mW/m2. The thermal history reconstruction from the inversion of vitrinite data, using Ther-model for Windows 2004, reveals that the average paleo-heat flow at the time of maximum burial in late Jurassic to early Cretaceous is 158.41 mW/m2 for the north part, 119.57 mW/m2 for the central part and 169.43 mW/m2for the south part of the basin respectively. The reconstruction of the buried history of the strata indicates that the age for the end of sedimentation and the beginning of erosion for the basin is 108-156 Ma, and that the eroded thickness of the strata is 2603 m in the north, 2291 m in the central, and 2528.9 m in the south of the basin respectively. The "higher in the north and the south, lower in the central" distribution pattern of the paleo-heat flow coincides with the distribution of the coal-bed methane spatially and temporally, which shows that the coal-bed methane is controlled by the paleo-geotem-perature field in the basin.     

淮河流域参考蒸散发量变化分析

利用淮河流域26个气象观测站的观测资料,采用Penman-Monteith法计算流域的参考蒸散发量,结合参考蒸散发对气象因子的敏感性分析以及气象因子在1960—2008年的变化,定量评估气象因子变化对蒸散发的贡献程度,进而分析流域近50 a来参考蒸散发量的变化及其原因.结果表明:淮河流域绝大部分地区的年参考蒸散发总量呈下降趋势,淮河以北地区的下降趋势比淮河以南地区更为显著.造成这种变化的主要原因是太阳辐射量的减少和风速的降低,淮河以南地区受相对湿度变化的影响,下降幅度小.

塔北西部岩浆热液–地层水流体系统及碳酸盐岩储层的成岩作用响应

通过对塔北地区多个碳酸盐岩露头的深入研究,认为该区域碳酸盐岩依次经历了硅化→热液白云石化→方解石化3个主要的后期成岩作用改造。通过对包裹体、同位素及稀土元素地球化学的研究,发现硅化流体具有高温度、高盐度特征;热液白云石化流体具有相对基质白云石明显的Eu正异常以及更高的轻重REE的分异度,而对方解石化流体的平衡水的计算可知,δ18OSMOW主要分布在+5.5‰～+12‰区间内,与岩浆热液流体的同位素值相一致。综合分析认为,存在岩浆热液对塔北地区碳酸盐岩的后期成岩改造。此外,通过对各露头碳、氧、锶同位素等的分析发现,后期成岩流体具有复杂性和叠加性,存在有机碳的影响以及大气淡水、壳源富87Sr地层水的混溶。岩浆活动为热液循环提供了大量的热源,异常的热事件驱动成岩流体进行广泛的循环流动,对碳酸盐岩地层进行热液成岩改造,同时岩浆热液也为成岩流体提供了诸如Si,REE等物质组分。晶洞内大量石英、硬石膏的发现说明研究区域的碳酸盐岩经历了广泛的酸性溶蚀作用,具有岩浆活动背景的开启性断层发育带成为有利的勘探靶区。
