2004, 26(1): 3-10. doi: 10.11781/sysydz200401003
Abstract(805) PDF-CN(561)
Abstract:
The critical controlling factors of subtle reservoir formation was researched systematically from the viewpoint of explorative practice for subtle oil pools in fault basins. The model of fault slopes controlling sandbodies in fault basins was built based on the analysis of the controlling effects of tectonic activities, which took faulting as the main behavior form, on reservoirs. By studying on the types and constitutional elements of transportation systems in fault basins, four types of transportation systems were pointed out, that is, the meshwork-carpet type, the T type, the ladder type and the fracture type. And their vertical and lateral multiple transportation relations were also described. After analysing on the effects of sedimentary facies zones and fluid potential on pool formation and their coupling relations, it was considered that sedimentary facies zones and fluid potential controlled pool formation in fault basins.

2004, 26(1): 11-16. doi: 10.11781/sysydz200401011
Abstract(750) PDF-CN(400)
Abstract:
In this article, the Yanqi Basin was divided into three structural deformation regions from south to north-southern decollement nappe region, central thrust folded region and northern strike-slip adjustment region according to the characteristics of inherited compressional inverse deformation getting strengthened from north to south in the Mesozoic Yanqi Prototype Basin during the Yanshanian and the Ximalayan periods. The compressional structures with NWW trend (close to EW trend) and the shear structures with NW trend crossed each other to form a "lozenge grid" structural pattern. The distribution features of secondary structural belts and local structures were controlled by this structural pattern. On the basis of structural and depositional distribution in the south and north depressions of the prototype basin, the zonation was further strengthened through paulopost reformation, and the north and south paleogeothermal field regions and the relatively independent petroleum systems were formed. In the residual basin, it created different oil-controlling structural combinations and different oil-gas accumulation patterns due to its three basic and unique deformation styles. Based on the reformation styles and pool-forming characteristics of the residual basin, it was predicted that the pool-forming units of "inheritance and regeneration" and "reformation and regeneration" in the northern depression were the favorable regions to discover reserves recently.

LI Yong-hong, YAN Xiang-bin, ZHANG Tao, ZHANG Sheng-gen, LIU Wen
2004, 26(1): 17-22. doi: 10.11781/sysydz200401017
Abstract(607) PDF-CN(392)
Abstract:
The developing degree of reservoirs is the major controlling factor of hydrocarbon accumulation of the Carboniferous Karashayi Formation, an important oil reservoir bed in Tahe oilfield. The physical properties of reservoirs are mainly controlled by sedimentary microfacies and diagenesis. The lithology of branch channel sandbodies of braided river delta and medium-bedded tidal channel sandbodies are mainly medium-coarse-grained sandstone which develops intergranular pore-space and residual intergranular space, and have well accumulation features. The lithology of sandbodies of river mouth bar of braided river delta-front, interchannel, sand flat and sand bar of intertidal zones are mainly silt sandstone and fine-grained sandstone which have worse accumulation properties. In general, sandrocks are low-medium porosity and low-medium permeability reservoirs in this area. The sand-shale segment of the Karashayi Formation can be divided into five sand sets in depth, and the sandbodies of Ⅰ, Ⅱ sand set and Ⅲ sand set have well accumulation properties. The available reservoirs developed in three areas such as 3rd, 4th and 6th block of Tahe oilfield.

LU Ming-guo, TONG Xiao-lan, WANG Bi-jin
2004, 26(1): 28-30. doi: 10.11781/sysydz200401028
Abstract(707) PDF-CN(378)
Abstract:
Based on the guidance of petroleum system theory and oil-source rock correlation, there are 2 known petroleum systems in Jiangling Depression: upper Shashi formation-lower Xinggouzhui formation and Qian-jiang formation. The major period of reservoir formation for the former one was in the time of sedimentation of Qianjiang-Jinghezhen Formation, after which, it was modified. The petroleum system is characterized by multiple horizons of contemporaneously formed reservoirs because the extensively developed faults act as the important pass in hydrocarbon transmission system. Therefore, the exploration strategy in the depression should be focused on both the primary and the secondary hydrocarbon reservoirs and pay some attention to the upper Xinggouzhui formation, Jingsha formation, Qianjiang formation. Qianjiang formation petroleum system belongs to immature-premature petroleum system, which should be the new exploration area.

2004, 26(1): 31-34. doi: 10.11781/sysydz200401031
Abstract(762) PDF-CN(321)
Abstract:
Using the principle of tilt variation, this paper analyzed the structures in the eastern part of the Linqing Depression, and summarized the basic structural characteristics of caprock sequences in the Paleogene and the controlling function of tilt variation to deposit. The research showed that the tilted fault blocks were the primary structure units in the basin and tilt variation not only controlled the evolution of the basin but also affected the development of paleogeomorphology in source areas. In the meantime, they also played an important role in controlling the types, distuibution and evolution of sedimentary systems in the basin. The fault troughs and the down slops close to the master controlling fault are the favorable positions for the development of oil-generating sags, while the up slopes and fault ridge areas far away from the fault are the main direction areas of hydrocarbon migration.

2004, 26(1): 47-52. doi: 10.11781/sysydz200401047
Abstract(701) PDF-CN(405)
Abstract:
Lithologic oil reservoir of the conglomerate fan-body developed in deep sag stage is the important target of oil-gas exploration in the mid-later term exploration in petroliferous basin, and it's oil-bearing potential is mainly dependent on the hydrocarbon expelling intensity of effective source rocks, the reservoir condition of gravel-sand fan-body and the result of their inter-action. It is found that the oil-gas full-up degree of fan-body has important relativity with the hydrocarbon expelling intensity, and it's accumulation effect is mainly affected by the reservoir condition if there is enough oil-gas resource in deep Dongying sag. The gravel-sand fan-body of displacement efficiency index over 15% and the hydrocarbon expelling intensity over 20×104t/km2is prone to form reservoir of high oil-gas full-up degree, and that the sand body of thickness over 2m and porosity over 12% is suitable for forming reservoir. The method has been applied to the oil-gas exploration of the gravel-sand fan-body in deep Dongying sag stage and has obtained better effect, Therefore it can be used to guide the exploration of lithologic oil reservoir in deep sag stage of continental basin.

2004, 26(1): 68-72. doi: 10.11781/sysydz200401068
Abstract(913) PDF-CN(375)
Abstract:
It is very important to find oil shows in surface samples for a new oil and gas exploration area. Rock-Eval, chloroform extract, fluorescence observation, and element analysis of filling matter in pores can be used to determine whether surface sandstone is oil-bearing .If the fluorescence exist and carbon content is 75% and O/C atom ratio is 0.5 in pore filling matter, the surface oil-bearing sandstone will be characterized qualitatively in Tibet area. Meanwhile, pyrolysis hydrocarbon content can be used to calculate original oil-bearing saturation. In Tibet area oil-bearing level originally was from oil saturated to oil-showing if original oil-bearing saturated is 45% and chloroform extract is 120×10-6. It was oil immersed to oil spot while oil-bearing saturation is 20%-45% and extracts is(60-120)×10-6.It was only oil trace if they respectively are<20% and<60×10-6. Surface oil-bearing sandstones have been found in 4 basins of Tibet, that is, 3 in Cuoqin, 4 in Kekexili, 3 in Biru, and 4 in Changdu basins. Among them the best is C163 sandstone in Cuoqin basin. The pyrolysis hydrocarbon is 28.36mg/g and saturation is 51.8% and chloroform extracts is 123×10-6. Finally, Cuoqin and Kekexili basins are considered as oil-bearing basins, and Biru and Changdu basin natural gas-bearing ones.

Abstract(738) PDF-CN(399)
Abstract:
Be aimed at oil filling conditions in reservoir and taking the Ordovician reservoir in Tahe Oilfield as an example, the authors attempt to conduct an artificial partitioning experiment of mixed crude oils by double filling into the reservoir using individual filling oils as the end-member of artificial mixed oil samples. By mains of data processing soft-ware in the GC working station, the GC peak area ratios R/U between resolved components and unresolved complex mixture (UCM) can be measured on the gas chromatograms of all artificial mixed oil samples, the conversion diagram of double filling ratios of subsurface mixed crude oils were established based on the correlation curve between the partitioning ratios of artificial mixed oil samples and their R/U values. Owing to the heavy biodegradation only on the early filled oil, the R/U ratios can also be measured on the GC of subsurface crude oil samples, which can characterize the double filling ratios of hydrocarbons in the mixed crude oils, and then the double filling ratios of subsurface crude oils were obtained from above-mentioned conversion diagram and the R/U values.
