Abstract:
Helium content in natural gas reservoirs is very low,usually smaller than 0.1%.Gas helium not only has inmportant industrial values,but also is a major differential mark for the origin of natural gas especially nonhydrocarbons natural gas.In Hua-501 gas reservoir discovered in the Upper Tertiary Minghuazhen Formation(N
m)of Huagou area,the Jiyang Depression,the gas He content is up to 3.08%.The gas components of the gas reservoir is complex.It has not only nonhydrocarbons gas layers dominated by N
2and CO
2,but also gas layers dominated by CH
4.It is a special gas reservoir of multiple and composite origins.δ
13C
CO2 is equal to-8.3‰,and
3He/
4He is 4.47×10
-6.These representative indexes reveal that N
2,CO
2,He and other nonhydrocarbons gases are mainly of mantle-source origins.δ
13 C
l is equal to -48.8‰.This shows that gas CH
4 is organic genetic oil-type gas generated in the Lower Tertiary.The gas reservoir is located in the joint of the Jiyang Depression and the Luxi Uplift.It is controlled by the Gaoqing Fault which is a deep and large rift long activated since the Mesozoic,and is closely related to muti-stage magmatic activities.CH
4 gas layers and N
2,CO
2,He and other nonhydrocarbons gas layers are the products of two stages of accumulation.CH
4 accumulated early,and the accumulation of helium-enriched nonhydrocarbons gases happened within 3Ma from now.
