The natural gas is mainly composed of methane （88.99%-98.01%）, and the dryness coefficient varies between 0.908 and 0.997. The gas generally displays positive alkane carbon and hydrogen isotopic series. The geochemical characteristics and gas-source correlation indicate that the gases stored in the 5th member of the Upper Triassic Xujiahe Formation are coal-type gases which are derived from source rocks in the stratum itself. The gases reservoired in the 4th member of the Xujiahe Formation and Jurassic strata in the Xinchang gas field are also coal-type gases that are derived from source rocks in the 3rd and 4th members of the Xujiahe Formation. The gases reservoired in the 2nd member of the Upper Triassic Xujiahe Formation are mainly coal-type gases with small amounts of oil-type gas that is derived from source rocks in the stratum itself. This is accompanied by a small amount of contribution brought by source rocks in the Upper Triassic Ma＇antang and Xiaotangzi formations. The gases reservoired in the 4th member of the Middle Triassic Leikoupo Formation are oil-type gases and are believed to be derived from the secondary cracking of oil which is most likely to be generated from the Upper Permian source rocks.展开更多

We discuss the genetic and evolution mechanism of a low-permeability reservoir bed of the Xujiahe Formation in the western Sichuan Depression on the basis of the study of diagenesis, diagenetic reservoir facies and the diagenetic evolution sequence. The research indicated that this reservoir bed can be divided into five types of diagenetic reservoir facies, namely strong dissolution, chlorite-lined intergranular pores, compaction and pressure solution, carbonate cementation and secondary quartz increase. There are, however, just two diagenetic reservoir facies which provide low-permeability reservoir beds, namely strong dissolution and chlorite-lined intergranular pores. We also analyzed their diagenetic evolution sequences and the origin of the low-permeability reservoir bed. Besides, it was also indicated that the composition and structure of sandstones, types of sedimentary microfacies, diagenesis history as well as the tectonic reworking in later periods are the main factors controlling the formation of the low-permeability reservoir bed. The above- mentioned factors establish the foundation for the forecasting the distribution of high quality reservoir beds.展开更多

Electron microprobe analysis has been applied to detect the components of sulfide-melt inclusions. The result shows that the sulfide phases of inclusions are mainly pentlandite, and secondarily pyrrho- tite, The molar ratio of Ni to Fe, r_Ni,/r_Fe, of mineral phases in sulfide inclusions is related to olivine contents in host mantle xenoliths. The r_Ni/r_Ni, of sulfides from Xinchang samples has a possitive correlation to r_(Fe+Ni),/r_S. The r_(Fe+Ni),/r_S, becomes higher with the increasing of r_Ni/r_Fe In single sulfide-melt inclusions, r_Ni,/r_Fe, r_(Fe+Ni),/r, and Ni contents increase from the center to edge, reflecting a result of different cooling speed in an inclusion. A comparison between the data from Hannuoba, West Eifel of Germany and Nograd-Gomor of east Europe suggests that the composition of the inclusions is different for each area, which indicated that a regional differentiation of sulfide in mantle fluids.展开更多
