TANG Liangjie, JIN Zhijun, JIA Chengzao, MA Zongjin, QU Guosheng
2001, 23(3): 251-255. doi: 10.11781/sysydz200103251
Abstract:
Major petroliferous basins in China are characterized by poly-stage superimposition.The evolution of basins is stepwise.Different evolutionary stages have different geotectonic environment,continental oceanic distribution and proto tpye basins.The important features of superimposed basins in China are interfracture emplacement and intermountain emplacement.This reflects that the basins have experinced poly-stage extension cracking,subduction,collision closure and the extension compressional cycles in post-collisional periods.In the tectonic analysis of superimposed basins,more attention must be paid to the study of the Paleozoic untypical craton,the Meso-Cenozoic untypical foreland basin and their superimposition history.So, the key tectonic periods of cransformation and their effects on the transition of basin types are determined,the deformed styles in the different tectonic periods of basins and their changing in plane and in section are analysed,the basement-cover united tectonic deformation history is revealed,and the forming course and coupling history of basin systems are restored.This privides background information for the hydrocarbon generation,migration and accumulation in superimposed basins.

LIAN Mingxiang, XUE Bing, YANG Shengliang
2001, 23(3): 256-260. doi: 10.11781/sysydz200103256
Abstract:
The Cenozoic Basin in North Jiangsu province consists of numerous depressions and rifts which develop on the Meso-Paleozoic thrust nappe and whose structure,size and regional distribution are controlled by the thrust nappe.The formation of rifts is the result of faultshards on the backedge of the thrust nappe backgliding under the background of regional extension which forms the "backedge sags" of the thrust nappe.In the North Jiangsu Basin,not only longitudinal rift-depression transformation exists in different periods,but also rifts and depressions coexist laterally in the same period.

QIAN Yixiong, JI Rangshou, LIU Guangxiang, PAN Wenlei, QIN Deyu
2001, 23(3): 261-266. doi: 10.11781/sysydz200103261
Abstract:
By comprehensive analysis on the petroleum charging conditions,migration and entrapment patterns,and space distribution rules of the Mesozoic petroleum systems in Northwest China,they are classified by geneses into 24 petroleum systems. Based on system types,hydrocarbon resource amount,trap styles,target stratum depth,petroleum accumulation and shows as well as the other factors,the petroleum systems are evaluated preliminarily. It is suggested that the Jurassic petroleum system in the southwest of the Tarim Basin,the composite petroleum system in the guasi southeast of China and the Jurassic petroleum system in the northern edge of the Qaidam Basin should be taken as emphases for the strategic area-selection of petroleum exploration.

ZHAO Mifu, XIN Quanlin, LIU Zerong
2001, 23(3): 267-271. doi: 10.11781/sysydz200103267
Abstract(1882) PDF-CN(366)
Abstract:
According to the tectonic background of the Linnan Sag and the distribution characteristics of fluxoturbidite, it was systematically advanced for the first time that the formation and development of fluxoturbidite are mainly restricted by the open degree of sag zones, the features of sedimentary paleotopography, the conditions of hydrodynamics, the scale and high constructive property (i.e. the developing degree of inheritability) of deltas, the space variation of delta systems and the evolutionary stages of basins. On this basis, the authors suggested that there maybe exist turbidite fans nearby Yingzixiang and well Xia 103 on the downthrown side of the Linshang Fracture, and there should distribute small scale of fluxoturbidite fans on the wide and gentle slope from the Xiakou Fracture to the Yingzijie fracture system and along the Jiangjiadian Nose to the Yuhuangmiao Fault. It was also pointed out that lithologic upclined pinchout will easily take place when there is a certain intersection angle between the tectonic contour and the prograding direction of the delta because of the strong oscillation of the Shuangfeng Delta.

GEOCHEMICAL PROCESSES IN PETROLEUM MIGRATION AND ACCUMULATION
HUANG Haiping, ZHANG Shuichang, SU Aiguo
2001, 23(3): 278-284. doi: 10.11781/sysydz200103278
Abstract:
The composition of crude oil, although initially controled by the types and maturity of organic matter in source rocks, will be changed thoroughly by the secondary modification during migration and after pool-formation. The dissolution and adsorption subjected by crude oil after expulsion have certain effects on the cpmposition of accumulated crude oil, but the influences of migration fractionation caused by the changing of temperature and pressure conditions in reservoirs, fault activties, denudation, earthquakes or the micropercolation of covers on the composition of crude oil are particularly important. Migration fractionation can form derived condensate and residual oil. Light components are very enriched in derived condensate and usually accumulate in shallower reservoirs, while high molecular weight compounds are enriched in residual oil which is characterized by the more obvious increase of wax content.It is thus clear that the formation of condensate and a high-wax oil is not simply controled by parent sources and maturity. Understanding the effects of migration fractionation will be helpful to avoid the mistaken interpretation of geochemical data.

JIN Qiang, TIAN Haiqin, DAI Junsheng
2001, 23(3): 285-290. doi: 10.11781/sysydz200103285
Abstract:
There distributes a lot of destroyed old oil pools in the carbonate rock areas of South China. Former dissolvable bitumen or crude oil has been changed into insoluble vein or mottled solid bitumen through hundreds of millions of weathering, Bacause of the insolubility of solid bitumen, it is difficult to make oil source correlation and further researches using many effective conventional methods. It is discovered that the relationship between crude oil and source rocks is similar to that between ore occurrence and provenance (or ore solution) in the course of deposit formation. The ore source correlation is usually conducted by microelements. That,will the microelements in organic source rocks be carried out when crude oil or bitumen migrates away from source rocks? For this reason,the authors attempted to measure the microelements in solid bitumen and potential source rocks. By combining carbon isotopic and other analysis, the true source rocks of solid bitumen are discovered. On this basis, the genesis of old oil pools in the study area is studied successfully.
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE CHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF FORMATION WATER AND HYDROCARBON ACCUMULATION IN THE DONGYING SAG
SUN Xiangyang, XIE Xinong
2001, 23(3): 291-296. doi: 10.11781/sysydz200103291
Abstract:
It was discovered by study on the chemical field of the Shahejie formation water in the Dongying Sag that the total dissolved solid (TDS) of formation water has explicit vertical zonality.The value of TDS is the highest in the Sha-4 Member,and reduces gradually upward. According to the feature that the Ca2+ and K++Na+ contents in formation water get higher with the increasing of Cl- concentration,it is suggested that the chemical components of formation water in this area come from the dissolution of subsoil rock salt.Among CaCl2, NaHCO3, MgCl2 and Na2SO4 four water types,the specific gravity of NaHCO3-typed water has inverse correlation relationship with the TDS of formation water.The characteristics of vertical and lateral TDS distribution show that the flow of formation water within the Dongying Sag is controlled by faults and sedimentary sand bodies.Formation water is a major component of basin fluid,and its revolution reflects the rules of hydrocarbon migration and accumulation in the basin.The flow styles of formation water provide a powerful evidence for the formation of "self-generation,self-accumulation" and "lower-generation,upper-accumulation" two patterns of hydrocarbon pools in the basin.

2001, 23(3): 297-300. doi: 10.11781/sysydz200103297
Abstract:
Based on the comparison experiments of a large number of surface, downhole and subsurface samples, the authors pointed out that surface weathering mainly has serious impacts on the organic matter abundance of hydrocarbon surce rocks, and the weathering degrees of samples with different lithology and different parameters are significantly different. In this paper, some weathering correction coefficients of organic carbon for the surface samples from the Qinghai Tibet Plateau are suggested. In is indicated that the effects on soluble organic matter such as bitumen "A", total hydrocarbon, pyrolysis free hydrocarbon S1 and cracking hydrocarbon S2 as well as pyrolysis IH are great, thus they are difficult to be corrected.Also, some primary control factors about the impacts of surface weathering on organic matter abundance are discussed.

APPLICATION OF GINI COEFFICIENT ON THE ANALYSIS OF VITRINITE REFLECTANCE MEASUREMENT
SUN Lichung, YANG Chunglin, TSAI Louis L.
2001, 23(3): 338-340. doi: 10.11781/sysydz200103338
Abstract:
In order to evaluate the distribution of measured vitrinite reflectance data,Gini coefficient was applied in this study.Three groups of coal samples were prepared for the measurement of vitrinite reflectance,namely the original sample(Y1),water washed sample (Y2) and exinite enriched sample(Y3) after denstty centrifuge separation.Gini coefficients were calculated and compared among them afterwards. The smaller Gini coefficient of Y2 indicates a better kurtosis in the distribution of vitrinite reflectance,which can be explained by the effect of washing.On the other hand,the larger Gini coefficient of Y3,a worse kurtosis in reflectance distribution,can be explained by both water-washing (right shift) and exinite enrichment (left shift).The Gini coefficient is expected to be applied further to sedimentary source and provenance studies in the future.

AN APPROACH TO THE DECISION METHOD OF STEPWISE EXPLORATION FOR LOCAL TECTONICS
WANG Chuan, PENG Suping
2001, 23(3): 348-350. doi: 10.11781/sysydz200103348
Abstract:
The decision tree method is frequently used to make exploration decision at present.But the application of this method in practice is not easy because it always considers the whole process of exploration.The exploration of hydrocarbon resources is step-by-step,and each step has its own targets.Only if hydrocarbon exploration best realizes the targets of each step by the least cost,can the whole process of it obtain the best results by the least cost.In this paper,an exploration decision method aiming at getting the most reserves by the least cost in the exploration stage is suggested.
A DISCUSSIOM ABOUT THE METHOD OF DECOMPACTION CORRECTION
QI Jiafu, YANG Qiao
2001, 23(3): 351-356. doi: 10.11781/sysydz200103351
Abstract:
The main problem of decompaction correction is how to found a reliable porosity depth function or density-depth function which expresses the compaction process of clastic rock. Because the present day relationship between porosity and depth usually is measured from different layers in one well or poly wells, it couldn't reflect the compaction path of a given layer during burying history. A function found on the data of porosity depth or density-depth from a given layer in one well or poly wells could be more reliable so that it can figure out a satisfying decompaction thickness. Because the grain density of rock keep a constant in any depth, the relationship between porosity depth function and density-depth function should be a linear complement and the initial value and compaction coefficient in the Athy's porosity depth function also could be resolved from two or more sets of porosity depth and density-depth data measured in the same layer.

LI Shaohu
2001, 23(3): 357-360. doi: 10.11781/sysydz200103357
Abstract:
The paper titled "a new method for compaction correction", which was issued on Experimental Petroleum Geology (2000,Vol.22,No.2),has arosed some attention.In order to make the method more clear and more understandable,the related principle,concepts,calculating methods and characteristics of density-depth curves wers explicated.In processing of compaction correction,the paleo-porosity-depth function is not the same of the present porosity depth function,and the density-depth function shows same property.Parameter Δ γ is very important to the mew method for compaction correction,which is based on the principle keeping the formation grain volume and mass constant.
