珠江口盆地惠北地区煤系烃源岩新认识与勘探实践

珠江口盆地恩平组煤系烃源岩因分布主控因素认识不清、发育规模不明确,导致勘探潜力被忽视。以煤系烃源岩发育区惠北地区作为研究靶区,利用地震、钻井和地化等资料,系统分析了煤系烃源岩分布主控因素,据此确定煤系烃源岩发育规模和资源潜力,从而有效指导勘探。研究表明:①纵向上,从恩四段到恩一二段沉积期,惠北地区古气候温暖湿润,古水深逐渐变浅,古构造活动强度逐渐减弱,恩一二段和恩三段有利于煤层的发育和聚集,恩四段沉积期煤层不发育;②横向上,受古沉积条件的控制,煤系烃源岩主要分布于惠州14洼北部缓坡带辫状河三角洲河道间的河漫沼泽和洼陷带滨浅湖内的湖沼范围内。基于煤系烃源岩分布规律,预测惠北地区煤系烃源岩资源量约2亿方油当量,带动了惠北地区周边勘探,也展示了珠江口盆地煤系烃源岩勘探前景。

Petroleum Geology in Deepwater Settings in a Passive Continental Margin of a Marginal Sea:A Case Study from the South China Sea

Deepwater oil and gas exploration has become a global hotspot in recent years and the study of the deep waters of marginal seas is an important frontier research area.The South China Sea(SCS)is a typical marginal sea that includes Paleo SCS and New SCS tectonic cycles.The latter includes continental marginal rifting,intercontinental oceanic expansion and oceanic shrinking,which controlled the evolution of basins,and the generation,migration and accumulation of hydrocarbons in the deepwater basins on the continental margin of the northern SCS.In the Paleogene,the basins rifted along the margin of the continent and were filled mainly with sediments in marine-continental transitional environments.In the Neogene–Quaternary,due to thermal subsidence,neritic-abyssal facies sediments from the passive continental margin of the SCS mainly filled the basins.The source rocks include mainly Oligocene coal-bearing deltaic and marine mudstones,which were heated by multiple events with high geothermal temperature and terrestrial heat flow,resulting in the generation of gas and oil.The faults,diapirs and sandstones controlled the migration of hydrocarbons that accumulated principally in a large canyon channel,a continental deepwater fan,and a shelf-margin delta.

琼东南盆地乐东—陵水凹陷底辟构造及其油气地质意义

琼东南盆地乐东—陵水凹陷主要发育泥—流体底辟构造,根据地震资料解释成果,对乐东—陵水凹陷及周缘底辟构造的几何形态特征及成因机制进行了分析,同时探讨了底辟构造与油气聚集成藏的关系。乐东—陵水凹陷的底辟构造发育演化是区域构造应力场变化和超压系统形成演化的结果,超压系统对底辟形成起主要控制作用。两类泄压模式控制了底辟的类型和分布,根据泄压方式不同,可划分为裂缝输导泄压型底辟和断裂输导泄压型底辟。裂缝输导泄压型底辟主要沿中央峡谷水道下方呈带状分布,下超压带和中央峡谷水道的空间耦合是该底辟带形成的主要因素。断裂输导泄压型底辟主要沿乐东—陵水凹陷南、北两侧断裂带分布,下超压带和基底断层活动导致塑性岩层和流体集中流动上拱是该类型底辟的主要成因。乐东—陵水凹陷勘探实践表明,底辟和断裂是油气垂向运移的主要通道,底辟作用形成的相关构造圈闭和岩性圈闭是该地区值得关注的有利勘探目标。

分频倾角相干融合技术在琼东南盆地深水区断裂解释中的应用

琼东南盆地深水区松南宝岛凹陷晚中新世受区域张扭应力影响,发育NWW向走滑断裂带,断裂发育复杂,规模差异大,常规相干切片难以准确识别断裂的平面连接关系和延展情况,因而降低了资料的解释效率和准确度,影响了圈闭刻画和油气运聚规律研究。针对研究区断裂特征,基于构造滤波、构造平滑、频谱分解和RGB融合的单一技术优势,采用叠后地震分频倾角相干融合技术刻画断裂特征及展布规律,指导断裂解释。应用结果表明:基于保留断裂构造滤波和平滑处理的分频倾角相干融合技术,能够有效去除地震数据体中的随机噪声,提高断裂的分辨能力,弄清断裂的平面连接关系和延展情况,提高复杂断裂精细解释的效率和准确性,为勘探阶段构造精细解释提供一种识别多尺度断裂的有效方法。

Source-sink System and Sedimentary Model of Progradational Fan Delta Controlled by Restricted Ancient Gully:An Example in the Enping Formation in the Southern Baiyun Sag,Pearl River Mouth Basin,Northern South China Sea

Tectonic activity occurred during the depositional period of the Enping Formation in the southern Baiyun Sag in the Pearl River Mouth Basin,with a series of synsedimentary faults and a set of large fan delta reservoir bodies developing.There is no data from drilling,cores,etc.for this area,so this paper applies three-dimensional seismic data to study the structural style of the steep slope zone,the seismic facies characteristics of fan deltas,and the source-sink system and sedimentary model of the Enping Formation.The control action of tectonic activity on fan deltaic sedimentary systems is studied by combining interpretation of fault systems,dissection of structural styles,seismic reflection structure,seismic facies geometry,and seismic attribute analysis,together with theoretical analysis of the source-sink deposition process.The Baiyun Sag has experienced tectonic activity since the Eocene,and a series of synsedimentary faults are developed in the southern steep slope zone.Under the common control of multiple large synsedimentary faults,a large ancient gully formed in the steep slope zone in the south,which gradually widened from south to north.The uplift area in the southern part of the sag was exposed for a long time during the deposition of the Enping Formation and consequently suffered weathering and erosion.The resulting sediments were transported through a system of provenance channels composed of slopes and an ancient gully to the depression area,where they were deposited and eventually converged to form a large fan delta.The fan delta presents the overall characteristics of NS strong wedge reflection and EW strong domal reflection—thick in the middle part and thin in the wings.It displays a lobe-shaped distribution on the plane,with the fan root pointing to the south slope.According to differences in reflection intensity from bottom to top,it can be subdivided into three stages of progradational sedimentary bodies—the southern uplift and denudation zone,the large ancient gully,and the fan delta—which together constitute a complete source-sink system.This represents a sedimentary model of progradational fan delta under the overall joint control of the re stricted ancient gully and syndepositional faults.

南海北部超深水区兴宁—靖海凹陷中—新生代构造演化及其油气勘探意义

兴宁—靖海凹陷是南海北部超深水区洋陆过渡壳上的中—新生代叠合凹陷,是南海北部以中生界为目的层的油气勘探新领域。利用二维、三维地震资料联合精细解释,综合分析了兴宁—靖海凹陷的中—新生代凹陷结构特征、构造演化史和烃源岩特征。研究认为:兴宁—靖海凹陷中—新生代经历了中生代坳陷挤压剥蚀期、新生代以来的伸展断陷期和热沉降坳陷期三大构造演化阶段。受构造演化控制,兴宁—靖海凹陷发育三叠系、侏罗系及白垩系3套中生界烃源岩,海相泥岩是主力烃源岩;发育2套有利储盖组合,即中生界侏罗系与白垩系滨浅海相、滨浅湖相砂泥岩互层构成的储盖组合,以及新生界恩平组滨浅海相、三角洲相砂岩与珠海组海相泥岩构成的储盖组合;形成多种类型的圈闭,近凹圈闭带是有利勘探区带。

Petroleum Migration Characteristics in the Northeastern Part of the Baiyun Depression,Pearl River Mouth Basin,South China Sea

This paper investigates the origin and migration characteristics of petroleum in the northeastern part of the Baiyun Depression,Pearl River Mouth Basin(PRMB).The discovered petroleum in the study area is mainly located in the Lower Zhujiang Member(N_(1)z^(2))and mainly originated from the Enping Formation source rocks in the eastern sag.Active faults(vertical migration)and N_(1)z^(2)sandstones(lateral migration)acted as the petroleum migration systems.The fault activities in the Dongsha event controlled the episodic petroleum migration.Fractures in the fault zones provided effective conduits,and overpressure was the driving force.The vertical migration could not cross the fault zones laterally.The petroleum injection areas in the carrier beds were the contact zones of petroleum-migration faults and carrier beds.The lateral migration was steady-state migration,and buoyancy was the driving force.The migration pathways in the carrier beds were controlled by the structural morphology.Secondary petroleum migration in the study area could be divided into two parts:vertical migration along the fractures in the fault zones and lateral migration through preferential petroleum migration pathways(PPMPs)in the carrier beds.The petroleum migration behaviors,including migrating direction,driving force,and migration pattern,in the faults and sandstone carrier beds were quite different.This study provides a typical example for comprehending secondary migration processes and has great importance for determining future exploration targets in the deep-water area of the PRMB.

白云凹陷恩平组南部物源研究及其油气地质意义

恩平组是珠江口盆地白云凹陷已经获得勘探证实的主要烃源层系。对其物源的清晰认识是潜力烃源和有利储层发育研究的重要基础。基于大量的三维地震解释和有限的钻井资料分析,提出白云凹陷恩平组时期不仅有来自北部盆外物源的输入,同时存在来自南部隆起的物源贡献。已钻井岩石学特征、古地貌分析、地震剖面特征和碎屑锆石年代学特征表明,白云凹陷西南部恩平组具有砂地比超过80%、粒度较粗、发育NE向大规模高角度"S"型前积地震相、具有物源通道的古地貌以及碎屑锆石以中生代岩浆锆石为主的特征,这与凹陷北部盆外具有NW向较平缓的"叠瓦状"前积地震相和较老的前寒武纪—古生代的碎屑锆石年龄的特征截然不同。综合分析认为,恩平组时期白云凹陷的南部隆起物源为白云凹陷西南部提供了充足的陆源物质供给,对白云西南部的优质陆源海相烃源岩的发育有重要作用;同时云开低凸起恩平组砂体埋深浅,粒度粗,是重要的潜在优质储层,具有重要的勘探意义。

Chemical kinetics evaluation and its application of natural gas generation derived from the Yacheng Formation in the deep-water area of the Qiongdongnan Basin,China

The natural gas generation process is simulated by heating source rocks of the Yacheng Formation, including the onshore-offshore mudstone and coal with kerogens of Type II2-III in the Qiongdongnan Basin. The aim is to quantify the natural gas generation from the Yacheng Formation and to evaluate the geological prediction and kinetic parameters using an optimization procedure based on the basin modeling of the shallow-water area. For this, the hydrocarbons produced have been grouped into four classes（C1, C2, C3 and C4-6）. The results show that the onset temperature of methane generation is predicted to occur at 110℃ during the thermal history of sediments since 5.3 Ma by using data extrapolation. The hydrocarbon potential for ethane, propane and heavy gaseous hydrocarbons（C4-6） is found to be almost exhausted at geological temperature of 200℃ when the transformation ratio（TR） is over 0.8, but for which methane is determined to be about 0.5 in the shallow-water area. In contrast, the end temperature of the methane generation in the deep-water area was over 300℃ with a TR over 0.8. It plays an important role in the natural gas exploration of the deep-water basin and other basins in the broad ocean areas of China. Therefore, the natural gas exploration for the deep-water area in the Qiongdongnan Basin shall first aim at the structural traps in the Ledong, Lingshui and Beijiao sags, and in the forward direction of the structure around the sags, and then gradually develop toward the non-structural trap in the deep-water area basin of the broad ocean areas of China.

Structural Characteristics and its Significances on Hydrocarbon Accumulation in the Yunkai Low Uplift,Pearl River Mouth Basin

The Yunkai low uplift with low exploration degree is close to the Baiyun sag,and has hydrocarbon exploration potential in the deepwater area of the Pearl River Mouth Basin.Based on seismic and drilling data,balanced profiles and growth strata,this paper mainly discusses geological structures and formation processes of the Yunkai low uplift,and also analyzes the characteristics of fault system and their influence on hydrocarbon migration and accumulation.The EWtrending basement faults divide the Yunkai low uplift into two parts,i.e.the southern sector and the northern sector.The northern sector is a relatively wide and gentle uplift,while the southern sector is composed of two secondary half-grabens with faulting in the south and overlapping in the north.The Yunkai low uplift experienced three major formation stages,including the rapid uplifting stage during the deposition period of the Eocene Wenchang Formation,the slow uplifting stage during the deposition period of the Late Eocene-Middle Miocene Enping-Hanjiang formations,and the whole burial stage from the Middle Miocene to present.The extensional faults in the Yunkai low uplift and its adjacent areas strike mainly along the NW,NWW and near-EW directions.Also,the strikes of faults present a clockwise rotation from the deep to the shallow strata.According to effects of faults on hydrocarbon accumulation the faults in the Yunkai low uplift and its adjacent areas can be divided into trap-controlled faults and source-controlled faults.The trap-controlled faults control trap development and can effectively seal oil and gas.The source-controlled faults connect directly source rocks and reservoirs,which are highly active during the rifting stage and weakly active since the Miocene.This activity features of the source-controlled faults is beneficial to migration of the early crude oil from the Baiyun sag to the high part of the Yunkai low uplift,but is not good for migration of the late natural gas.In the Yunkai low uplift and its adjacent areas,the traps in the deep Zhuhai and Enping formations that are close to source rocks in the Baiyun sag should be the favorable exploration objectives.

珠江口盆地深水区开平凹陷拆离型裂陷石油形成条件与勘探方向

开平凹陷已经证实为生油凹陷,但经过二十多年勘探没有获得重大油气发现。凹陷形成机制复杂、石油形成条件不清、油气运移聚集方向不明是制约勘探重大突破的关键问题。围绕这3个关键问题,开展了构造解析、沉积分析、油源对比、油气运移等方面研究。研究认为,开平凹陷为中—小规模的拆离型凹陷,具有低角度正断层系、多期次岩浆活动和拆离上叠洼陷等典型拆离特征;开平主洼历经裂陷I幕的断陷和Ⅱ幕的拆离作用,形成了"中间深、两侧缓"洼陷结构,将来自凹陷南北两侧隆起的三角洲粗碎屑卸载于主洼两侧的断阶带和洼陷,使主洼发育规模半深湖亚相烃源岩;烃源岩的TOC含量与C304-甲基甾烷关系图版指示主洼发育优质生油岩,石油资源量为5.7×108m3;南部断阶带的泵吸作用可为洼陷南部石油运移量增加约30%,突破了前人基于分隔槽认为向南部断阶带运移量有限的认识;断层相关泥岩的"脆-韧"性分析表明,3600 m以深脆性泥岩发育,脆性域内断层易于输导,3600 m以浅韧性泥岩发育,韧性域内的断层易于封闭,开平凹陷主洼内断层垂向运移油气的顶板为恩平组下段—文昌组上段。综合油气运聚、圈闭条件、储-盖条件等认为开平凹陷主洼南部断阶带是最有利勘探区,主洼北部斜坡带近洼槽区是重要的勘探区。研究成果指导了南部断阶带钻井获得超百米油层发现,开辟了南海深水区大—中型油田勘探的新局面。
