2004, 26(4): 315-318. doi: 10.11781/sysydz200404315
Abstract:
The Jurassic distribution was controlled by NW-trending and near EW-trending structures in the west part of the northern margin of the Qaidam Plate.Near EW-trending structures zoned the Jurassic from north to south,and NW-trending structures divided the Jurassic into some blocks from west to east.Several thickness centers formed because of the controlling of NW-trending and near EW-trending structures.The Early-Middle Jurassic basin was an extensional faulted basin,in which major hydrocarbon source rocks were deposited.And the Late Jurassic-Cretaceous basin was a compressional basin.From the Early Jurassic to the Cretaceous,strata deposition migrated from south to north and from west to east.The deposition of the Cenozoic basin superposed on the Jurassic basin played an important role in the pre-servation of the Jurassic,and promoted oil and gas generation.Structure deformation and combination of the Cenozoic provided favorable conditions for the oil and gas pool formation of the study area.

2004, 26(4): 324-327. doi: 10.11781/sysydz200404324
Abstract:
The slope belt in the south of Dongying Sag is a typical graben-like depression.During the 30 years of exploration,10 oil-and-gas fields have been discovered.By analyzing the relationship among tectonic setting,sedimentary system and reservoir formation,it is deemed that,there exists close relationship between the large-sized successive normal structure,high system tract and the distribution of hydrocarbon reservoir.And then,the reservoir types and the crude properties of this kind of slope zone,from the edge to the center of the subsag,are summarized.The inspiration,from exploration of the slope belt in the Dongying Sag,is very important for such oil-and-gas exploration of the slope belt in the graben basin.

2004, 26(4): 328-332. doi: 10.11781/sysydz200404328
Abstract:
In the West Sichuan Depression with tight sand,the formation mechanism of traps and gas reservoir is quite complicated,resulted from the basin's complex evolution.Even in different structural part or horizon of the same structural deformation band,there exists distinct difference in both oil-and-gas bearing condition and geological factors restricting trap and gas enrichment.There are structural traps where structural activities enrich oil and gas.There are also non-structural stratum and lithologic traps,such as palaeostructural-lithologic trap,palaeostructural-diagenetic trap,and structural-lithologic trap,where structural activities cooperate with lithology,lithofacies,and sedimentary environment.

Abstract:
Based on the comprehensive using of outcrop,borehole,logging and seismic data and the boundary characteristics of depositional system tracts,the Carboniferous of West Majiaer area,Tarim Basin were divided into six sedimentary sequences.And development of the lowstand,trangressive and highstand system tracts was ascertained.The study area was located on the continental shelf during Carboniferous.The major depositional systems were composed of 1) river system;2) littoral system;3) shallow marine shelf system;4) shallow carbonate system;5) fan-deltaic system;6) coastal plain system;7) lagoon system;and 8) mixed clastic-carbonate system.Lowstand system tracts were characterized by river system;and shallow marine shelf,shallow carbonate platform,coastal plain and mixed clastic-carbonate systems were developed in trangressive system tracts.Except for river system,all other systems were developed in highstand system tracts.The reservoirs were mainly developed in the littoral system of highstand system tracts.

Abstract:
As we know,the geologic background of buried-hill traps is very intricate,and the study and exploration of buried-hill oil pools are quite difficult.The paper discussed the characteristics and complexity of buried-hill traps and analyzed the elements of buried-hill trap petroleum systems and their action processes based on the conception of petroleum systems.According to the contrast of formation time between source rock strata and buried-hillbasement and spatial-matching relationshipbetween them,three petroleum system or subsystem models of buried-hill traps were suggested,that is,the new source-old reservoir type,the old source-new reservoir type and the old source-old reservoir type.Associated with the examples and based on the three models,the authors also analyzed the characteristics of single and compound petroleum systems,discussed the methods of description and exploration and suggesed the ways of work.This would be of important theoretical and practical significance to the study and exploration of buried-hill pools,and also can be used as references for the study of petroleum systems in other known oil-pool traps.

WEI Fu-jun, HE Fa-qi, PU Ren-hai
2004, 26(4): 344-348. doi: 10.11781/sysydz200404344
Abstract:
Although the Carboniferous Kalashayi sandstone reservoirs of Tahe Oilfield in Tarim Basin are buried at the depth of 4 800-5 200 m,they have fairly good petrophysical property.The porosities range generally from 8% to 12%,with the maximum of 20%;and the permeabilities vary typically from 10×10-3 to 100×10-3μm2,with the maximum of over 1 000×10-3μm2.Mercury injection data indicate that,the reservoir is characterized by medium-pore-coarse-throat structure with coarse skew in pore size distribution.Thin sections with blue epoxy impregnation and electron microscope scanning photograph show that' the main pore types are intergranular and intragranular pores from dissolved feldspar and residual original intergranular pores,while the smaller part of porosity is contributed by interstitial microcrystalline to very fine crystalline limestone intercrystalline pores and fissure pores.It is obvious that the depositional facies and distance from the source area affect porosity and permeability which increase conspicuously approaching to source area along with the enhancement in quantity and thickness of channel sandstones.The present reservoir prediction is still mainly relied on sand bodies forecast by means of analysis of seismic data and depositional facies due to the lack of method for spatially predicting the dissolution of feldspars.

2004, 26(4): 349-358. doi: 10.11781/sysydz200404349
Abstract:
The Yinggehai Basin is a Cenozoic high-heat basin developed on the passive continental margin of the northern part of the South China Sea.Its high geotemperature field and high geothermal flux are mainly concentrated in the mud-diapir structural zone of the Yinggehai Depression in the central part of the basin.So,the upintrusion of thermal fluid in the mud diapirs,especially the thermal fluid action in the late stage controlled the migration,accumulation and enrichment rules of natural gas and CO2.Meanwhile,the local intrusion of thermal fluid by different layers,different blocks and different districts resulted in the migration,accumulation and enrichment differences of crust-sourced CO2 and hydrocarbon gases and the characters of local enrichment by different layers,different blocks and different districts.In a word,the upintrusion of thermal fluid in the mud diapirs was the key factor controlling the migration and accumulation of natural gas and CO2.According to the geochemical characteristics of CO2 and hydrocarbon gases and their controlling factors,the migration and accumulation rules of CO2 and hydrocarbon gases can be analysed and predicted.This will provide decision basis for the exploration of natural gas.

2004, 26(4): 359-364. doi: 10.11781/sysydz200404359
Abstract:
The Qaidam Basin is an important Mesozoic-Cenozoic petroliferous basin in west China.18 oil fields have been found in the western and northern Qaidam Basin since oil was first discovered in the late 1950s,and the western Qaidam Basin contains more oil fields compared to the northern Qaidam Basin.Geneses of crude oil in these 2 areas are significantly different.Hydrocarbon biomarkers in 16 crude oil samples from 13 oil fields of the 2 areas are analyzed and their geochemical characteristics are studied.The distribution and composition of biomarkers indicate that,crude oils in the western area originated from source-rocks under weak oxidation and freshwater-marsh lacustrine environment.Crude oils in the western area derived mainly from bacteria and algae;however,those in the northern area from terrestrine high plants.According to the characteristics of biomarkers and the compositions of carbon isotope,crude oils in the Qaidam Basin can be divided into 2 genetic groups and 7 genetic subgroups.

Abstract:
In order to study the geochemical characteristics of natural gas during diffusion,an experimental simulation under stratigraphic condition (70 ℃,8 MPa) has been performed on a solid sample.During the diffusion of natural gas,the relative percentage of methane in reservoir gas gradually decreases,but the relative percentages of ethane and propane increase correspondingly.The diffusive gas shows the same compositional varying tendency as the reservoir gas,but the relative percentage of methane in diffusive gas is higher than that in reservoir gas at the same time,and the relative percentages of ethane and propane in diffusive gas are lower than those in reservoir gas.These phenomena are all caused by stratigraphic chromatographic effect.The relative percentage of normal butane in reservoir gas is higher than that in diffusive gas at the same time,and the relative percentage of isobutane in reservoir gas is lower than that in diffusive gas.This is also the result of stratigraphic chromatographic effect.The C1/(C2+C3) and iC4/nC4 values may be used as the geochemical indexes of natural gas migration.There exist a logarithmic linear correlative relation between the relative percentage of compositions of reservoir gas and the diffusive gas percentage and a quadratic relation between the relative percentage of compositions of diffusive gas and the diffusive gas percentage.These relations may be helpful for calculating the amount of diffusive gas,evaluating the reservoir gas resource prospect,deeply understanding into the variation of compositions of natural gas during diffusion and predicting the total resources of natural gas derived from the same source rock but preserved in reservoirs with different ages.

2004, 26(4): 370-374. doi: 10.11781/sysydz200404370
Abstract:
Based on genetic analysis of the Silurian bitumen from Yaogou and Devonian bitumen from Dangduogou in Songpan-Aba area,it was indicated that these bitumen samples were high maturated solid bitumen which sourced from the Silurian or Cambrian mudstones.They were the relict of the old oil pools which were destructed during the Early Hercynian movement.Formation of the bitumen was very complex.It might be the result of co-activity of cooling metamorphism and debitumination.Hydrocarbon could be generated from the bitumen as they were deeply re-buried.

Abstract:
The study of petroleum generation,based on pyrolysis experiments and by means of reaction kinetics,is a systematical method combined closely with geologic conditions.Based on the summarization of present works on pyrolysis and kinetics,the outlook and prospects were discussed in this paper,and some conclusions and aspects worthy to further studies were proposed:1) up to date,hydrous pyrolysis was one of the best technique for simulating oil formation,and the confined system pyrolysis was still an excellent experiment technique of oil and gas generation/cracking and can be used to carry out hydrous pyrolysis experiments;2) the pyrolysis equipment with the episodic expulsion of hydrocarbon remained to be deve-loped;3) it was sure that pressure affected organic matter maturation,hydrocarbon generation and oil cracking,but the effects were possibly different;4) the kinetic study based on the pyrolysis experiments at single heating rate would not be accepted in the future;5) the kinetic models with the effects of pressure,including hydrocarbon generation and stable isotopic modelling,were expected in further studies;6) most geologic catalysts,except water-soluble,had few influences on oil and gas formation,but they possibly affected petroleum cracking in reservoirs;7) natural gas components and isotopic composition were closely related to accumulation history,to which much attention was expected to pay;8) the study of inorganic matter and its hydrous pyrolysis and the kinetics of non-hydrocarbon gas generation and isotopic evolution were of potential values for scientific research.

2004, 26(4): 383-388. doi: 10.11781/sysydz200404383
Abstract:
Physical simulation experiment indicates that,pressure of the deep basin gas accumulation and its high-permeability gas-rich zone are not invariable,but change periodically with the geologic conditions (gas providing intensity and quantity).During the construction period of deep basin gas accumulation,the high-permeability gas-rich zone of deep basin gas accumulation and the compact sand body around form 2 independent positive pressure systems respectively,due to the permeability difference between them.During the dispersing period of deep basin gas accumulation,both pressure system decrease to negative pressure state and become an united pressure system.The evolution is of the characteristics of sinusoidal curve.Negative pressure is not the basic charateristic of deep basin gas accumulation,but one characteristic of the dispersing period during the formation and evolution of deep basin gas accumulation.The formation and evolution of deep basin gas accumulation experience 6 stages:gas entrance,critical touching time,"dessert" fornning,connection of 2 gases,expansion of gas accumulation,and adjust-mix.The controlling forces include gas expanding force,capillary pressure and buoyancy,which play different roles during different stages.Thus,relatively complete accumulation succession and mechanism model of deep basin gas accumulation and its high-permeability gas-rich zone under physical laboratory condition are established.

2004, 26(4): 389-393. doi: 10.11781/sysydz200404389
Abstract:
The key problem for developing the Sulige gas field with high efficiency is the identification of the relatively high permeability of sandbodies in low efficient gas reservoirs.In Sulige gas field,with the characteristics of typical coal measure strata,many primary pores have disappeared due to severe diagenesis.As a result,the relatively high permeable sandbodies are mainly developed in coarse sandstone facies with secondary pores.It is known that different log curves,such as density log and acoustic log,reflect different pore structure and lithofacies.Based on this,an interpretation model of secondary porosity index for the reservoir is established.After the calibration with the core lithology of key wells,the sensitive logs to lithology,such as GR,PE,and DEN are used to identify lithofacies by utilizing cluster analysis.The results show that the relatively high permeable sandbodies identified by this log interpretation model of secondary pores and lithofacies are consistent with core analysis and production capacity tests of gas wells.

2004, 26(4): 394-396. doi: 10.11781/sysydz200404394
Abstract:
Based on the theory of hydrocarbon exploration by thermoluminescence (TL),it was considered that the formation of radioactivity abnormal areas over oil and gas pools was related to hydrocarbon migration.By thermoluminescence determination on ground sandy soil,this kind of abnormal areas with weak radioactivity can be effectively discovered,and the corresponding underground oil and gas pools can then be found.In order to further prove the reliability of the theory,an indoor simulation experiment was designed especially.The results revealed that 1)hydrocarbon migration can be going on under the condition of normal temperature and pressure by means of gaseous diffusion,2)sample oil also generated thermoluminescence signals,and 3)the thermoluminescence signals generated from hydrocarbon were enhanced on the top of diffusion layers.

2004, 26(4): 397-400. doi: 10.11781/sysydz200404397
Abstract:
In long-term waterflooding developed oilfields,the long-term immersion and displacement of developing fluid to reservoirs made minute spaces connecting multiple micropores with porethroats dynamically changed,and rock framework,porethroat network and clay mineral also changed dynamically.These changes affected the distribution of underground residual oil.Aimed at the delta reservoirs in the 8th sand formation of the Sha-2 Member in shengtuo oilfield,a dynamic micromodel of reservoirs was established from rock framework,porethroat network and clay mineral three respects,and the relationship between microchanges and residual oil studied.It was suggested that these changes were dynamic and continuous,and made the distribution of residual oil further complicated.

2004, 26(4): 401-403. doi: 10.11781/sysydz200404401
Abstract:
The formation of oil reservoirs in buried hills is very complex.This makes it difficult to confirm oil-play distribution.While studying buried hills in the East Huanghua Depression,the authors suggested a new way to find out oil plays.First,the logging response characteristics of an oil play were used to synthesize the characteristic curves.Then,the comprehensive seismic reservoir characteristic inversion restrained by wells was done to obtain the seismic inversion body of the oil play.At last,by geological ana-lysis,the oil play was recognized directly from the inversion body,and the distribution range of oil pools was determined.This will provide geological bases for the development of oilfields.

2004, 26(4): 404-408. doi: 10.11781/sysydz200404404
Abstract:
In this paper,by combining elements,galaxies,the earth and the original and evolutionary history of organism with the original and evolutionary history of hydrocarbon,it was considered that hydrocarbon began to generate after the occurrence of carbon and hydrogen elements in the cosmos,and evolved till present,that is,the formation of hydrocarbon can be traced back to the astronomical period and can continue to the geologic period even the humane period.In no matter which oil-generating hypothesis,hydrocarbon cannot be formed without hydrocarbon antecedent matter or hydrocarbon-generating original matter.Hydrocarbon antecedent matter is organic matter of various sources,including lipin,protein,carbohydrate,lignin,hydrocarbon and the material needed by the synthesis of carbon and hydrogen elements.It was suggested that hydrocarbon antecedent matter was formed before the formation of life,accompanying the evolution from elements to inorganic matter to galaxies,the evolution from inorganic matter to simple organic matter and the evolution from simple organic matter to life origin.The hydrocarbon resource eva-luation system should be based on the hydrocarbon historical origin hypothesis.
