Geochemical Characteristics of the Upper Permian Longtan Formation from Northeastern Sichuan Basin:Implications for the Depositional Environment and Organic Matter Enrichment

A set of organic-rich shales of the upper Permian Longtan Formation,which is widely developed in the northeastern part of the Sichuan Basin,is a key formation for the next step of exploration and development.At present,most studies on this set of formations have focused on the reservoir characteristics and reservoir formation mechanism of the shales,and basic studies on the palaeoenvironment and organic matter(OM)enrichment mechanism have not been fully carried out.In this paper,we recovered the sedimentary palaeoenvironment by mineralogical,elemental geochemical and organic geochemical analyses,and explored the enrichment mechanism of OM under the constraints of palaeoenvironmental evolution.The shales can be divided into two stages of sedimentary evolution:compared with the shales of the Lower Longtan Formation,the shales of the Upper Longtan Formation are relatively rich in quartz,poor in clay and carbonate minerals,and the OM type changes from typeⅢto typeⅡ_(2).The depositional environment has undergone a change from sea level rise,from warm and wet climate to dry and cold climate,and from oxygen-poor condition restricted to open reduction environment;the land source input has decreased,the siliceous mineral content has increased,the biological productivity has improved,and the deposition rate has changed from high to low.A depositional model was established for the shales of the Longtan Formation,reflecting the differential reservoir formation pattern of organic matter.For the Lower Longtan Formation shales,the most important factors controlling OM content are terrestrial source input and deposition rate,followed by paleoclimate and paleooxygen conditions.For the Upper Longtan Formation shales,the most important controlling factor is paleo-productivity,followed by sedimentation rate.The depositional model constructed for the Upper and Lower Longtan Formation shales can reproduce the enrichment of organic matter and provide a basis for later exploration and development.

Geochemical characteristics of the Permian Changxing Formation reef dolomites,northeastern Sichuan Basin,China

The recent discovery of deep and ultra-deep gas reservoirs in the Permian Changxing Formation reefs, northeastern Sichuan Basin is a significant development in marine carbonate oil ＆ gas exploration in China. Reef dolomites and their origins have been major research topics for sedimentologists and oil ＆ gas geologists. The petrography, trace element and isotope geochemistry of the reef dolomites indicated that the dolomites are characterized by low Sr and Mn contents, relatively low Fe contents, very similar δ13C and 6180 values and very different 87Sr/86Sr ratios. Although the calculated results of the fluid mixing suggested that a mixture with 85%-95% meteoric water and 50/o- 15% seawater seemed to be the dolomitizing fluids of the reef dolomites, the low Mn contents, relatively low Fe contents, high δ13c values and high homogenization temperatures of the dolomites did not support that there were large proportions of meteoric water in the dolomitization process, and the 87Sr/86Sr ratios which were close to coeval seawater also did not support the possibility of the mixture of deep-burial circulated fluids from clastic rocks. High temperature deep-burial circulated seawater with low Mn and Fe contents, high Sr content and high δ13C values from the dissolution of widely distributed Triassic evaporites during the burial diagenetic processes （including dehydration of water-bearing evaporites） could have been the dolomitizing fluids of the reef dolomites.

Temperatures of dolomitizing fluids in the Feixianguan Formation from the Northeastern Sichuan Basin

The discovery of natural gas reservoirs from the Triassic Feixianguan Formation in the Northeastern Sichuan Basin is an important breakthrough in the field of marine carbonate rocks for Chinese oil and gas exploration in recent years.Because of the dolomite-hosted reservoirs in the Feixianguan Formation,these dolomites and their formation mechanisms have been a research focus for sedimentary geologists and petroleum geologists.Based on the homogenization temperatures of fluid inclusions,oxygen isotopic composition and their calculated temperatures,and the burial and thermal history of the typical well,it is considered that the majority of dolomites are formed by low-temperature dolomitizing fluids in the Triassic Feixianguan Formation,Northeastern Sichuan Basin.Only a minority of dolomites are formed by high-temperature dolomitizing fluids.The ending depth interval of low-temperature dolomitizing fluids was about 1000-2500 m,of which the correspondingly ending timing interval was approximately from early-middle Middle Triassic to early-middle Late Triassic.The main depth interval of high-temperature dolomitizing fluids was about 3200-4500 m,of which the correspondingly main timing interval was approximately early-middle Middle Jurassic.The low-temperature and high-temperature dolomitizing fluids have different meanings to the formation and evolution of the pore volumes of dolomite reservoirs in the Feixianguan Formation,Northeastern Sichuan Basin.

Isotopic evidence of TSR origin for natural gas bearing high H_2S contents within the Feixianguan Formation of the northeastern Sichuan Basin, southwestern China

The northeastern area of Sichuan Basin, southwestern China, is the area with the maximal reserve of natural gas containing higher hydrogen sulphide (H2S) that has been found among the petroliferous basins of China, with the proven and controlled gas reserve of more than 200 billion cubic meters. These gas pools, with higher H2S contents averaging 9%, some 17%, are mainly distributed on structural belts of Dukouhe, Tieshanpo, Luojiazhai, Puguang, etc., while the oolitic-shoal dolomite of the Triassic Feixianguan Fm. (T1f) is the reservoir. Although many scholars regard the plentiful accumulation of H2S within the deep carbonate reservoir as the re-sult of Thermochemical Sulfate Reduction (TSR), however, the process of TSR as well as its residual geological and geochemical evidence is still not quite clear. Based on the carbon iso-topic analysis of carbonate strata and secondary calcite, etc., together with the analysis of sulfur isotopes within H2S, sulphur, gypsum, iron pyrites, etc., as well as other aspects including the natural gas composition, carbon isotopes of hydrocarbons reservoir petrology, etc., it has been proved that the above natural gas is a product of TSR. The H2S, sulphur and calcite result from the participation of TSR reactions by hydrocarbon gas. During the process for hydrocarbons be-ing consumed due to TSR, the carbons within the hydrocarbon gas participate in the reactions and finally are transferred into the secondary calcite, and become the carbon source of secon-dary calcite, consequently causing the carbon isotopes of the secondary calcite to be lower (?18.2‰). As for both the intermediate product of TSR, i.e. sulfur, and its final products, i.e. H2S and iron pyrites, their sulfur elements are all sourced from the sulfate within the Feixianguan Fm. During the fractional processes of sulfur isotopes, the bond energy leads to the 32S being re-leased firstly, and the earlier it is released, the lower δ 34S values for the generated sulphide (H2S) or sulfur will be. However, for the anhydrite that participates in reactions, the higher the reaction degree, the more 32S is released, while the less 32S remains and the more δ 34S is increased. The testing results have proved the process of the dynamic fractionation of sulfur isotopes.

Three Episodes of Hydrocarbon Generation and Accumulation of Marine Carbonate Strata in Eastern Sichuan Basin,China

It is concluded that there are three hydrocarbon generation and accumulation processes in northeastern Sichuan on the basis of the characteristics of solid bitumen, gas-light oils-heavy oils, homogenization temperature of fluid inclusions and diagenesis for beach- and reef-facies dolomite gas- bearing reservoirs in the Puguang Gas Field, northeastern Sichuan Basin, southern China. The first hydrocarbon generation and accumulation episode occurred in the Indosinian movement （late Middle Triassic）. The sapropelic source rocks of the O3w （Upper Ordovician Wufeng Formation）-S1l （Lower Silurian Longmaxi Formation） were buried at depths of 2500 m to 3000 m with the paleogeothermal temperature ranging from 70℃ to 95℃, which yielded heavy oil with lower maturity. At the same time, intercrystalline pores, framework pores and corrosion caused by organic acid were formed within the organic reef facies of P2ch （Upper Permian Changxing Formation）. And the first stage of hydrocarbon reservoir occurred, the level of surface porosity of residual solid bitumen {solid bitumen/ （solid bitumen ＋ residual porosity）} was higher than 60%. The second episode occurred during the Middle Yanshanian movement （late Middle Jurassic）. During that period, the mixed organic source rocks were deposited in an intra-platform sag during the Permian and sapropelic source rocks of O3w-S1l experienced a peak stage of crude oil or light oil and gas generation because they were buried at depths of 3500 m to 6800 m with paleogeothermal temperatures of 96-168℃. At that time, the level of surface porosity of residual solid bitumen of the T1f shoal facies reservoirs was between 25% and 35%, and the homogenization temperatures of the first and second stages of fluid inclusions varied from 100℃ to 150℃. The third episode occurred during the Late Yanshanian （Late Cretaceous） to the Himalayan movement. The hydrocarbon reservoirs formed during the T1f and P2ch had the deepest burial of 7700 m to 8700 m and paleogeotemperatures of 177℃ to 220℃. They could be cracked into dry gas （methane）, and the same with the source rocks of the Permian and O3w-S1l because they all reached the pyrolysis stage under such conditions. Consequently, the present natural gas （methane） reservoirs were developed.

Types and genesis of sweet spots in the tight sandstone gas reservoirs:Insights from the Xujiahe Formation,northern Sichuan Basin,China

Through comprehensively applying geological and geophysical data,as well as core and thin section observation,the characteristics of reservoirs and fractures in the second member of the Xujiahe Formation(hereinafter referred to as Xu2 Member)in the Yuanba area,northern Sichuan Basin,were studied.Combined with the analysis of the main controlling factors of production capacity,the types and characteristics of the sweet spots in the tight sandstone gas reservoir were determined.The evaluation standards and geological models of the sweet spots were established.The results are as follows:(1)There are bedding-parallel fracture-,fault-induced fracture-,and pore-dominated sweet spots in the tight sandstone gas reservoirs of the Xu2 Member.(2)The bedding parallel fracture-dominated sweet spots have developed in quartz sandstones with well-developed horizontal fractures and micro-fractures.They are characterized by high permeability and high gas output during production tests.This kind of sweet spots is thin and shows a limited distribution.Their logging responses show extremely low gamma-ray(GR)values and medium-high AC values.Moreover,the bedding parallel fracture-dominated sweet spots can be mapped using seismic methods.(3)The fault-induced fracture-dominated sweet spots have welldeveloped medium-and high-angle shear fractures.Their logging responses show an increase in peaks of AC values and total hydrocarbon content and a decrease in resistivity.Seismically,the areas with welldeveloped fault-induced fracture-dominated sweet spots can be effectively mapped using the properties such as seismic entropy and maximum likelihood.(4)The pore-dominated sweet spots are developed in medium-grained feldspathic litharenites with good reservoir properties.They are thick and widely distributed.(5)These three types of sweet spots are mainly determined by sedimentation,diagenesis,and tectonism.The bedding parallel fracture-dominated sweet spots are distributed in beachbar quartz sandstones on the top of the 1st sand layer group in the Xu2 Member,which develops in a shore-shallow lake environment.The fault-induced fracture-dominated sweet spots mainly occur near faults.They are increasingly developed in areas closer to faults.The pore-dominated sweet spots are primarily distributed in the 2nd and 3rd sand layer groups,which lie in the development areas of distributary channels near provenances at western Yuanba area.Based on the geological and seismic data,a comprehensive evaluation standard for these three types of sweet spots of the tight sandstone reservoirs in the Xu2 Member has been established,which,on the one hand,lays the foundation for the development and evaluation of the gas reservoir,and on the other hand,deepens the understanding of sweet spot in the tight sandstone gas reservoirs.

川东北宣汉地区海相“新型杂卤石钾盐矿”的发现、突破与前景

全球探明钾盐资源主体为古代海相可溶性固体钾盐矿床(氯化钾、光卤石),仅少量来自现代盐湖卤水钾矿。与国外不同的是,目前我国探明钾盐资源主体为现代陆相盐湖钾矿,古代海相可溶性固体钾盐找矿40余年,未获突破。四川盆地是我国主要大型海相成钾盆地之一,前人在中—下三叠统发现大量与硬石膏和白云石共伴生或互层的杂卤石,但绝大部分埋深超过2000 m,目前尚难以开发利用。2017年以来,笔者通过对四川盆地东北部宣汉盐盆普光地区卤水探井(恒成2、3井)岩芯复查,发现杂卤石主要与石盐共伴生,大量破碎的杂卤石碎屑颗粒分布于石盐基质中,KCl含量达边界工业品位以上,不同于钾石盐和光卤石,亦不同于前人发现的与硬石膏和白云石共伴生或互层的杂卤石(石膏型杂卤石),将之命名为“新型杂卤石钾盐矿”。小试和中试结果表明,该“新型杂卤石钾盐矿”可以采用对接井注水溶采,是能够得到规模化开发利用的“活矿”,是一种全新的硫酸盐+氯化物复合型海相可溶性固体钾盐矿床新类型。通过成钾条件、成矿规律综合研究,笔者提出了新型杂卤石钾盐矿“双控复合成矿”理论新认识、建立了“三高、两低、一大”综合测井识别新模型,创新理论技术指导设计部署“钾锂兼探”基准井——川宣地1井,探获厚29.46 m、氯化钾(KCl)平均含量12.03%(最高20.5%)的“新型杂卤石钾盐矿”厚层高品位工业矿层。与此同时,采用岩芯样品实测数据和测井解释数据拟合的方法,建立矿石K含量和密度参数的测井定量预测模型,结合“气钾兼探”,利用33口钻井数据,依据古代固体盐类勘查规范(2020),运用“几何法”,初步估算“新型杂卤石钾盐矿”氯化钾(KCl)资源规模:推断资源量2.45亿t(超大型)、潜在资源4.65亿t,合计7.1亿t,奠定了川东北达州市宣汉地区形成中国首个亿吨级海相钾盐基地的资源基础,取得了我国海相可溶性固体钾盐找矿的重大突破。

川东北地区二叠系大隆组发育一套海相优质页岩,页岩储层控制了页岩气的富集。以大隆组深水陆棚相页岩为研究对象,利用氩离子抛光扫描电镜、低温氮气吸附脱附法和高压压汞等测试资料,通过地球化学和矿物组成特征研究,与志留系龙马溪组、二叠系茅口组三段和吴家坪组二段等海相页岩储层进行差异性对比分析,提出了大隆组储层发育主控因素。研究结果表明:①深水陆棚相和盆地相区优质页岩发育,沿开江-梁平陆棚呈环带状分布,厚度介于20~35 m。川东北地区大隆组深水陆棚相页岩发育混合硅质页岩相和含灰硅质页岩相。南江地区深水陆棚相页岩厚度介于20~30 m,以混合硅质页岩相为主;在普光地区深水陆棚相页岩厚度相对较大,介于30~35 m,以含灰硅质页岩相为主;而靠近陆棚中间位置深水陆棚相页岩厚度略有减薄,在20 m左右,以硅质页岩相为主。②大隆组页岩储层具有“高碳、高脆、高孔、高含气”的“四高”特征。页岩为有机质发育的孔隙型储层,总体具有高孔-特低渗、微孔占比高和孔隙连通性较好的特征。③沉积环境控制了大隆组页岩储层孔隙发育程度及类型,流体超压使孔隙后期得以保存。④相比其他层系,海相页岩储层大隆组岩性组合以灰黑色硅质页岩夹薄层泥质灰岩为主,纵向灰岩夹层多,岩性非均质性强。不同层系页岩主要储集空间总体相似,均以有机质孔为主,但大隆组储层龙马溪组页岩储层孔隙度较其他层系页岩总体偏低。

川东北普光地区下三叠统蒸发岩沉积特征与演化及其对钾盐矿形成的控制作用

四川盆地中—下三叠统地层中发育大量膏-盐沉积,其中与石盐共伴生杂卤石(被命名为“新型杂卤石钾盐矿”)的大量发现和重新评估引起了近年来的广泛关注。但当前对此类杂卤石的研究主要集中在其矿物发育特征与成因类型等方面,对于其发育地层的沉积特征与演化规律的精细剖析及其对杂卤石形成的控制作用研究较少。本文利用川宣地1井连续取心的目的层段岩心资料进行了沉积微相和高精度层序地层学分析。共识别出14种沉积微相类型,并将其划分为6个微相组合,依次代表从局限台地到蒸发台地不同的沉积相带及能量、环境特征。在此基础上根据沉积微相的纵向发育演化、地层厚度以及典型诊断界面等信息,划分出4个四级沉积层序以及其内部的多个五级旋回。研究认为川东北地区与石盐共伴生的原生杂卤石是明显受不同级别海平面波动影响和控制的,主要发育在四级层序海退末期与五级旋回海侵的叠加时期,前者的强蒸发条件为杂卤石的形成提供了重要基础,但后者带来的海水补给则是其形成的必要条件。

川东北地区二叠系大隆组深层页岩气储层孔隙结构及其分形特征

页岩储层特性是影响页岩气富集和开采的关键因素之一。四川盆地北部发育的上二叠统大隆组是重要的海相优质烃源岩,而针对川东北地区大隆组页岩储层的研究还有待深入。以川东北地区大隆组深层页岩为研究对象,利用高分辨率场发射扫描电镜、二氧化碳吸附、氮吸附及高压压汞等技术,开展大隆组深层页岩储层不同孔径孔隙结构的定性—定量研究,并运用基于二氧化碳吸附的V-S模型、氮吸附的FHH模型和高压压汞的分形几何模型对不同孔径的孔隙进行分形拟合,表征页岩孔隙结构的复杂程度和非均质性特征。结果表明,川东北地区大隆组深层页岩储层发育丰富的纳米级有机孔和少量的无机孔,有机孔发育特征随有机质显微组分不同和分布形式差异而显示强的非均质性。大隆组深层页岩孔隙结构与龙马溪组深层页岩相似,以介孔和微孔为主,占总孔体积的90%以上;页岩孔隙结构主要受有机质丰度的影响。分形特征研究结果显示,深层页岩宏孔非均质性强于介孔和微孔。其原因可能为深层页岩微孔孔径较小,分布集中,成因单一,受成岩作用影响较小,孔隙结构较为简单,具有较小分形维数;而宏孔孔径较大,分布范围较广,成因多样,易受成岩作用影响,表现出强非均质性。深层页岩微孔—介孔因其丰富的储集空间和较强的自相似性,有利于页岩气的赋存、渗流和开采。

川东北地区二叠纪晚期古海洋环境与有机质富集

【目的】二叠纪晚期是一个关键的地质历史时期,地球系统在构造、火山活动、气候、古海洋环境和生物群落等方面都发生了巨大变化。重建这一时期的古地理、古气候、古海洋环境有助于理解不同地质因素的相互作用机制,及其对该时期富有机质岩系及生物演化的重要影响。【方法】通过对四川盆地建峰剖面上二叠统深水序列的沉积学和地球化学(主微量元素含量、有机碳同位素、总有机碳含量)研究,明确了该时期的古地理环境,重建了海洋初级生产力和氧化还原环境的时空演化,探讨了多种因素对有机质富集的控制作用。【结果】建峰剖面的氧化还原环境依次经历了氧化—铁化—硫化—氧化四个阶段(Ⅰ~Ⅳ),初级生产力和陆源输入均在阶段Ⅱ_(2)和阶段Ⅲ较高,上升流在阶段Ⅱ_(2)、Ⅱ_(3)、Ⅲ和Ⅳ较为发育,火山活动仅在阶段IV较为频繁。因此,建峰剖面高初级生产力可能主要受陆源物质输入的影响,而上升流的影响次之,火山活动的贡献较小。【结论】结合西北乡剖面,推测该时期川东北地区硫化水团的形成受高生产力的控制,其上侵、下退则与海平面的波动有关;大隆组沉积期间盆地中部的初级生产力受上升流影响更大,而盆地边缘的初级生产力受陆源输入影响更大;初级生产力对大隆组的有机质富集起主导作用。

2023年3月,四川盆地东北部(以下简称川东北地区)普光地区首口二叠系页岩气专探井——雷页1井在上二叠统大隆组页岩分段压裂后测试获日产42.66×104 m3的高产气流,实现了四川盆地二叠系大隆组新层系页岩气勘探突破。为了进一步推进二叠系页岩气的勘探开发,应用雷页1井钻探资料,系统分析了普光地区大隆组海相页岩气成藏条件和富集高产主控因素。研究结果表明:①普光地区雷页1井大隆组发育深水陆棚相优质页岩,岩性主要为硅质页岩、混合硅质页岩及含灰硅质页岩,具有优质页岩厚度大(33 m)、总有机碳含量高(5.82%)、孔隙度高(3.46%)、含气量高(5.37 m^(3)/t)、脆性指数高(90.7%)的“一大四高”特征;②雷页1井大隆组具有“高脆、低黏”和低水平应力差(9 MPa)特征,页岩可压性好;③研究区“厚层膏岩披覆+断层分层滑脱型”高陡构造区保存条件好,页岩气勘探潜力大。结论认为:①该区深水陆棚相优质页岩是大隆组页岩气富集的物质基础,“厚被子”膏岩披覆、顶底板条件及断层封闭性好是二叠系页岩气“超压富气”的关键;②开江—梁平陆棚大隆组、吴家坪组二段和茅口组三段3套优质页岩叠置连片发育,具备良好的立体勘探开发潜力;③基于雷页1井探索形成的二叠系海相深层页岩“穿层扩体”压裂技术,能产生大体积高导流的复杂裂缝系统,该技术可为复杂岩相页岩储层改造提供技术借鉴。

川东北元坝西部须家河组致密砂岩裂缝发育特征及控制因素

川东北元坝西部上三叠统须家河组受晚期构造活动影响小,裂缝发育程度较中东部低,前人对其重视不够,裂缝发育控制因素不清楚。通过岩心观察、薄片鉴定、测井解释、裂缝充填物包裹体分析等多种技术手段,对元坝西部须家河组致密砂岩裂缝发育特征及控制因素开展了系统研究,明确了裂缝类型和特征参数,建立了裂缝发育模式。结果表明:①元坝西部须家河组以低角度剪切缝和成岩收缩缝为主;须三段裂缝多为方解石充填,须二段裂缝以泥质充填为主。②元坝西部须家河组裂缝可划分为3期,分别对应晚侏罗世、早白垩世晚期和晚喜山期,前2期裂缝全充填-半充填,第三期未充填。③研究区裂缝发育程度受地层变形强度、至断裂距离、单层砂岩厚度和砂岩类型的控制。九龙山背斜枢纽部位和东南翼地层曲率较大部位以褶皱相关裂缝为主,在东南翼断裂附近以断层相关裂缝为主,2类裂缝区为开发评价有利区。须三段砾岩区发育由砾缘缝和穿砾平缝组合而成的、开度小、未充填的网状缝,须二段石英砂岩发育沿层理破裂的低角度剪切缝及微裂缝,也是元坝西部须家河组气藏下一步开发评价需关注的有利区。
