A Structural Interpretation Model and Restoration of the Mesozoic Proto-basin for the Kuqa Depression,Tarim Basin

A thrust-fold belt consisting of a series of thrusts and buckling folds developed in the Mesozoic and Cenozoic strata within the Kuqa Depression,Tarim Basin.In this study,a structural interpretation model of the Kuqa Depression is established and the Mesozoic proto-basin is reconstructed on the basis of outcrop geology along the basin margin,seismic,well-log and CEMP data.The model is called‘delaminate contractional deformation',which emphasizes the decoupling between the Cenozoic,Mesozoic,pre-Mesozoic and the basin-basement within the Kuqa Depression,but there is no unified detachment.The model has a shortening amount ranging from 12 km to 16 km and the depth involved in contractional deformation ranges from 21 km to 28 km.A prototype of the Mesozoic basin reconstructed by interpretation model is a subbasin superposed on the transitional zone between the uplift at the northern edge of the Tarim Craton and the southern Tianshan orogenic wedge formed in the Hercynian orogeny.Lithospheric thermal and crustal isostatic activity after the Hercynian orogeny maybe the controlling dynamic factors of basin subsidence during the Mesozoic and early Cenozoic,the difference in rock mechanical properties between different levels,craton and orogenic wedge being the major cause of the‘delaminate contractional deformation'during the Himalayan orogeny.

Relationship between Natural Fracture and Structural Style and its Implication for Tight Gas Enrichment:A Case Study of Deep Ahe Formation in the Dibei–Tuzi Area,Kuqa Depression

The deep Lower Jurassic Ahe Formation(J_(1a))in the Dibei–Tuzi area of the Kuqa Depression has not been extensively explored because of the complex distribution of fractures.A study was conducted to investigate the relationship between the natural fracture distribution and structural style.The J_(1a)fractures in this area were mainly high-angle shear fractures.A backward thrust structure(BTS)is favorable for gas migration and accumulation,probably because natural fractures are more developed in the middle and upper parts of a thick competent layer.The opposing thrust structure(OTS)was strongly compressed,and the natural fractures in the middle and lower parts of the thick competent layer around the fault were more intense.The vertical fracture distribution in the thick competent layers of an imbricate-thrust structure(ITS)differs from that of BTS and OTS.The intensity of the fractures in the ITS anticline is similar to that in the BTS.Fracture density in monoclinic strata in a ITS is controlled by faulting.Overall,the structural style controls the configuration of faults and anticlines,and the stress on the competent layers,which significantly affects deep gas reservoir fractures.The enrichment of deep tight sandstone gas is likely controlled by two closely spaced faults and a fault-related anticline.

Sedimentary Response of Different Fan Types to the Paleogene-Neogene Basin Transformation in the Kuqa Depression,Tarim Basin,Xinjiang Province

A group of alluvial fans formed in the early Paleogene represent marginal sedimentary facies at the foot of the South Tianshan Mountain, Kuqa Depression, Tarim Basin, Xinjiang province. Two types of fans occurred in the middle-late Paleogene Kumugeliemu and Suweiyi formations： one alluvial, and the other fan delta deposited in a lacustrine setting. Within the early Neogene Jidike Formation, coastal subaqueous fans developed, probably in a deeper water lacustrine setting. The three types of fans are stacked vertically in outcrop with the sequence in ascending order： bottom alluvial, middle fan-delta, and top suhaqueous. The subaqueous is a typical coarse-fan deposit occurring in the glutinite member of the Jidike Formation in some wells. Laterally, from the foreland to the lacustrine settings, the distribution pattern of sedimentary facies represents the same three fan types sequentially. The spatial distribution of these fans was controlled by the Paleogene-Neogene Basin transformation, and evolution with different types of fans developed in the Kuqa Depression in response. In the Paleogene, the Kuqa Depression was a rift basin where an alluvial fan was deposited in the foreland setting, which, by early Neogene, became a foreland basin when the lake level changed. With any rise in lake level, fan-deltas migrated from lacustrine to foreland settings, whereas when the lake level fell, fan migration was reversed. In the early Neogene, with increasing slope and rising lake level, fans progressed and covered the previous fan-delta and lacustrine mudstone. Eventually, subaqueous fans developed, forming the present spatial configuration of these three fan types.

Kinetic Parameters of Methane Generated from Source Rocks in the Kuqa Depression of Tarim Basin and Their Application

In a thermal simulation experiment of gold tubes of closed-system, calculating with the KINETICS and GOR-ISOTOPE KINETICS software, kinetic parameters of gas generation and methane carbon isotopic fractionation from Triassic-Jurassic hydrocarbon source rocks in the Kuqa depression of Tarim Basin are obtained. The activation energies of methane generated from Jurassic coal, Jurassic mudstone and Triassic mudstone in the Kuqa Depression are 197-268 kJ/mol, 180-260 kJ/mol and 214-289 kJ/mol, respectively, and their frequency factors are 5.265×10^13 s^-1, 9.761×10^11 s^-1 and 2.270×10^14 s^-1. This reflects their differences of hydrocarbon generation behaviors. The kinetic parameters of methane carbon isotopic fractionation are also different in Jurassic coal, Jurassic mudstone and Triassic mudstone, whose average activation energies are 228 kJ/mol, 205 kJ/mol and 231 kJ/mol, respectively. Combined with the geological background, the origin of natural gas in the Yinan-2 gas pool is discussed, and an accumulation model of natural gas is thus established. The Yinan- 2 gas is primarily derived from Jurassic coal-bearing source rocks in the Yangxia Sag. Main gas accumulation time is 5-0 Ma and the corresponding Ro is in the range from 1.25 %-1.95 %. The loss rate of natural gas is 25 %-30 %.

Geochemical analysis of mixed oil in the Ordovician reservoir of the Halahatang Depression,Tarim Basin,China

In this study,12 crude oil samples were collected and analyzed from the Ordovician reservoir in the Halahatang Depression,Tarim Basin,China.Although the density of oil samples varies considerably,based on saturated hydrocarbon gas chromatographic(GC),saturated and aromatic hydrocarbon gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric(GC/MS) and stable carbon isotopic composition analyses,all the samples are interpreted to represent a single oil population with similar characteristics in a source bed or a source kitchen,organic facies and even in oil charge history.The co-existence of a full suite of n-alkanes and acyclic isoprenoids with UCM and 25-norhopanes in the crude oil samples indicates mixing of biodegraded oil with fresher non-biodegraded oil in the Ordovician reservoir.Moreover,according to the conversion diagram of double filling ratios for subsurface mixed crude oils,biodegraded/non-biodegraded oil ratios were determined as in the range from 58/42 to 4/96.Based on oil density and oil mix ratio,the oils can be divided into two groups:Group 1,with specific density>0.88(g/cm3) and oil mix ratio>1,occurring in the north of the Upper Ordovician Lianglitage and Sangtamu Formation pinchout lines,and Group 2,with specific density<0.88(g/cm3) and oil mix ratio<1,occurring in the south of the pinchout lines.Obviously,Group 2 oils with low densities and being dominated by non-biodegraded oils are better than Group 1 oils with respect to quality.It is suggested that more attention should be paid to the area in the south of the Upper Ordovician Lianglitage and Sangtamu Formation pinchout lines for further exploration.

Genesis of Abnormally High Abundant Rearranged Hopanes in Condensates from the Kuqa Depression, Tarim Basin

Objective The Tarim Basin is China＇s largest ore-bearing interior basin, and contains mainly marine oils. The Kuqa depression, a secondary structural unit within the northem Tarim Basin, is composed of Mesozoic and Cenozoic clastic sedimentary rocks dominated by continental oil. Previous research suggests that the crude oils especially condensates in the Kuqa depression are rich in abnormally high abundant rearranged hopanes. On the basis of 41 condensate samples and five oil samples from the Kuqa depression, this work systematically discussed the relationship between biomarker parameters and rearranged hopanes and deeply investigated the influence of depositional environment, original source,

Dibenzofuran Series in Terrestrial Source Rocks and Crude Oils and Applications to Oil-Source Rock Correlations in the Kuche Depression of Tarim Basin, NW China

Ten series of aromatic hydrocarbon compounds (biphenyl, naphthalene, phenanthrene, anthracene, retene, chrysene, benzoanthracene, dibenzofuran, fluorene, dibenzothiophene) isolated from seven Triassic and Jurassic lacustrine mudstone samples and three swamp coal samples, as well as five crude oil samples collected in the Kuche depression of the Tarim Basin, NW China, have been analysed by GC-MS techniques. It is found that the relative abundances of dibenzofuran series are higher in the three swamp coal samples than those in the lacustrine mudstone samples. Based on the similar relative abundances of dibenzofuran series, especially dibenzofuran compound, in the TICs of aromatic hydrocarbons, crude oils from wells SA3 (K), YTK5 (E, K) and QL1 (E) are thought to have been derived predominantly from the coals of the Lower Jurassic Yangxia Formation or Middle Jurassic Kezilenuer Formation, whereas those from wells YM7 (O) and YH1 (E) were derived mainly from Triassic and Jurassic lacustrine mudstones in the Kuche depression. This is the first report about how to distinguish coal-generated oils from lacustrine mudstone-generated oils in the Kuche depression in terms of the dibenzofuran series. The present paper has enlightening and directive significance for further oil-source rock correlations and oil and/or gas exploration in the Kuche depression of the Tarim Basin.

Formation of the Neoproterozoic Rifting Depression Groups of the Tarim Basin and its Hydrocarbon Potential: Responded to the Initial Opening of the Proto-Tethy Ocean

The largest and superimposed Tarim basin developed on the one of the three bigger craton, Tarim Craton, in China.The early Paleozoic is the heyday of its development and cratonization, and then changes to the different property basin. The reserved sedimentary strata of Neoproterozoicare recognized mainly in the local of outcrops periphery orogenic belts, but drilling core in the basin reveals them seldom. The proto-type of the initial Tarim Basinis always a mystery. The vast desert, hugethickness of sedimentary strata, multiple tectonic movements, and a low quality of deep data are the keys to getting to know him. We comprehensive field outcrops, wells, seismic reflection profiles with higher SNRs and aeromagnetic data, recognized about 20 normal fault-controlled rifting depressions of the Cryogenian and Ediacaran, which scattered throughout the basin, and developed on the Precambrian metamorphic and crystalline basement. The structural framework is clearly different from that of the overlying Phanerozoic. The rifting depressions consist of mainly half grabens, symmetrical troughs and horst-grabens. From the northeast to southwest of the basin, they are divided into three rifting depression groups(RDG)with the WNW, ENE, and NW-trends that are mainly controlled by normal faults. From the Cryogenian to Ediacaran, most of the main inherited faults to active and eventually ceased at the end of the Ediacaran or Early Cambrian, while subsidence centers appeared and migrated eastward along the faults. They formed under the NNESSW oriented and NNW-SSE-oriented extensional paleo-stress fields(relative to the present) during the Neoproterozoic, and were accompanied by clockwise shearing. According to the analysis of the activities of syn-sedimentary faults, filling sediments, magmatic events, and coordination with aeromagnetic anomalies, the tectonic properties of the fault depressions are different and are primarily continental rifts or intra-continental fault-controlled basins. The formation of the rifting depression was associated with the initial opening of the South Altun-West Kunlun Ocean and the South Tianshan Ocean, which were located at the northern and southern margins of the Tarim Block, respectively, in response to the break-up of the Supercontinent Rodinia and the initial opening of the Proto-Tethys Ocean.Inthe RDG developedfluvial, shallow marine and carbonate platform facies, accompanied with multiple phases of magma activities and glaciations during the Cryogenian and Ediacaran. The structural architectures of interfaces between the Neoproterozoic and Cambrian are mainly angular and parallel unconformities in the RDG. Over the parallel unconformities in the RDGs are beneficial for the organic-rich and/or phosphorites of the Yuertus Formation of the Lower Cambrian. The main fault belts of RDGs also controlled the small platform margin and slope break belt of in the Cambrian. The Neoproterozoic and the Lower Cambrian petroleum systems of the basin might be controlled by the RDGs in the initiation of the Tarimcraton.

Composition and origin of molecular compounds in the condensate oils of the Dabei gas field, Tarim Basin, NW China

The Dabei gas field in the Kuqa Depression of the Tarim Basin is the most complex and deep continental condensate gas field in China. Comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography?time of flight mass spectrometer (GC×GC-TOFMS) analysis was conducted on five condensate oil samples from this field. The results show that the samples have n-alkane series in complete preservation and rich adamantanes. According to the methyladamantane index, the condensate oil is the product of the source rock with vitrinite reflectance (Ro) of 1.3%–1.6%. According to the gas maturity calculated through carbon isotope and vitrinite reflectance, the natural gas is corresponding to Ro of 1.3%–1.7%, reflecting that the natural gas and condensate oil are basically formed during the same period at the high maturity stage of source rock. The Dabei gas field has favorable geological conditions for hydrocarbon accumulation: thick salt rock in the Paleogene acts as a regional high-quality caprock directly overlying the high-quality sandstone reservoir of the Cretaceous, the coal source rocks have high hydrocarbon generation intensity and provide continuous oil and gas, and the subsalt thrust structures develop in rows with rich faults, providing migration pathways for oil and gas migration. These factors together controlled the formation of the Dabei gas field.

Three-dimensional discrete element numerical simulation of Paleogene salt structures in the western Kuqa foreland thrust belt

Taking the Paleogene salt strata in the west of Kuqa foreland thrust belt as study object, the deformation features of salt structure in the compression direction and perpendicular to the compression direction were examined to find out the control factors and formation mechanisms of the salt structures. By using the three-dimensional discrete element numerical simulation method, the formation mechanisms of typical salt structures of western Kuqa foreland thrust belt in Keshen and Dabei work areas were comprehensively analyzed. The simulation results show that the salt deformation in Keshen and Dabei work areas is of forward spread type, with deformation concentrated in the piedmont zone;the salt deformation is affected by the early uplift near the compression end, pre-existing basement faults, synsedimentary process and the initial salt depocenter;in the direction perpendicular to the compression direction, salt rocks near the compression end have strong lateral mobility with the velocity component moving towards the middle part, and the closer to the middle, the larger the velocity will be, so that salt rocks will aggregate towards the middle and deform intensely, forming complex folds and separation of salt structures from salt source, and local outcrop with thrust faults. Compared with 2 D simulation, 3 D simulation can analyze salt structures in the principal stress direction and direction perpendicular to the principal stress, give us a full view of the formation mechanisms of salt structures, and guide the exploration of oil and gas reservoirs related to salt structures.

塔里木盆地库车坳陷英买力地区白垩系巴什基奇克组中深层砂岩储层孔隙保存机制

塔里木盆地库车坳陷南部斜坡带英买力地区白垩系巴什基奇克组砂岩储层物性好,油气勘探潜力大,但其非均质性强、油气分布规律不明。综合利用岩心观察、系列薄片(普通、铸体、阴极发光及包裹体)、扫描电镜、物性测试和X射线衍射等分析测试资料和成岩过程重建与物性恢复技术,分析英买力地区中深层巴什基奇克组砂岩储层的岩性与物性,探寻其孔隙特征与保存机制,划分储层类型和明确有利储层分布规律及控制因素。该砂岩主要为长石岩屑砂岩和岩屑长石砂岩,杂基含量较低,其成分和结构成熟度均中等;储层孔隙类型主要为残余原生孔隙,其次为次生孔隙,主要为粒间溶孔和粒内溶孔,为中高孔—中高渗储层。巴什基奇克组中深层砂岩原生孔隙得以保存主要在于其形成的沉积环境与经历的成岩和成储演化:首先砂岩形成于高水动力的辫状河三角洲前缘水下分流河道微相,不断叠置的河道形成了厚度较大且分布稳定的水道复合砂体,强水动力使得砂岩碎屑颗粒含量高、分选较好,为原生孔隙形成提供了物质基础;其次早期长期浅埋和后期快速深埋的埋藏演化方式使砂岩经历了较弱的压实作用改造,同时晚期深层超压作用大大增强了砂体抗压实能力,残余原生孔隙得以保存;最后坳陷不断降低的古地温梯度使得残余原生孔隙得以有效保存。

However, on the basis of detailed field and indoorstudies on Kangsu section of Wuqia County and Wuyitake section of Arctau County,

Structural architecture of Neoproterozoic rifting depression groups in the Tarim Basin and their formation dynamics

The Tarim Basin is the largest, oil-bearing, superimposed basin in the northwest of China. The evolution and tectonic properties of the initial Tarim Basin have been hotly disputed and remain enigmatic. The Neoproterozoic basin is covered by a vast desert and a huge-thickness of sedimentary strata, has experienced multiple tectonic movements, had a low signal to noise ratios(SNRs) of deep seismic reflection data, all of which have posed critical obstacles to research. We analysed four field outcrops, 18 wells distributed throughout the basin, 27 reprocessed seismic reflection profiles with higher SNRs across the basin and many ancillary local 2D and 3D profiles and aeromagnetic data. We found about 20 normal fault-controlled rifting depressions of the Cryogenian and Ediacaran scattered throughout the basin, which developed on the Precambrian metamorphic and crystalline basement. The structural framework is clearly different from that of the overlying Phanerozoic. The rifting depressions consist of mainly half grabens, symmetrical troughs and horst-grabens. From the northeast to southwest of the basin,they are divided into three rifting depression groups with the WNW, ENE, and NW-trends that are mainly controlled by normal faults. The maximum thicknesses of the strata are up to 4100 m. From the Cryogenian to Ediacaran, most of the main inherited faults to active and eventually ceased at the end of the Ediacaran or Early Cambrian, while subsidence centres appeared and migrated eastward along the faults. They revealed that the different parts of the Tarim continental block were in NNE-SSWoriented and NNW-SSE-oriented extensional paleo-stress fields(relative to the present) during the Neoproterozoic, and were accompanied by clockwise shearing. According to the analysis of the activities of syn-sedimentary faults, filling sediments,magmatic events, and coordination with aeromagnetic anomalies, the tectonic properties of the fault depressions are different and are primarily continental rifts or intra-continental fault-controlled basins. The rifting phases mainly occurred from 0.8–0.61 Ga.The formation of the rifting depression was associated with the initial opening of the South Altun-West Kunlun Ocean and the South Tianshan Ocean, which were located at the northern and southern margins of the Tarim Block, respectively, in response to the break-up of the Supercontinent Rodinia and the initial opening of the Proto-Tethys Ocean.

塔里木盆地库车坳陷博孜区块超深层致密砂岩储层裂缝特征及其对油气产能的影响

天然裂缝是深层致密砂岩储层重要的油气运移通道和储集空间,对库车坳陷博孜区块油气产能具有重要意义。利用岩心、薄片、成像测井以及实际生产资料,在明确塔里木盆地库车坳陷博孜区块超深层致密砂岩储层天然裂缝发育特征的基础上,厘定了天然裂缝对油气产能的影响。研究结果表明:库车坳陷博孜区块超深层储层构造裂缝发育,其中主要发育未充填-半充填的高角度剪切缝,局部发育半充填-全充填张性缝,受多期构造运动影响,区内主要发育N-S向和NW-SE向天然裂缝,部分呈近EW向;裂缝是研究区重要的储集空间和渗流通道,通过成像测井资料和试油资料构建了裂缝发育系数和裂缝有效系数用以定量表征裂缝对油气产能的影响,并建立了这两项表征参数和油气产能的定量评价图版,通过验证说明裂缝发育系数和裂缝有效系数可以较好地评价研究区裂缝的有效性,实现了通过裂缝参数对裂缝性储层品质的分类预测。研究成果不仅为研究区油气高效勘探开发提供了地质依据,同时提供了一个致密砂岩储层裂缝对油气产能影响的实例。

塔里木盆地库车坳陷白垩系巴什基奇克组致密砂岩力学性质影响因素及其变化规律

为查明塔里木盆地库车坳陷白垩系巴什基奇克组致密砂岩力学特性,结合深层—超深层油气勘探开发的现场问题,采用三轴压缩实验定量研究了围压、流体和加载速率影响岩石力学性质变化的规律,并初步分析其原因。研究结果表明,砂岩试样最大主应力差、弹性模量均随着围压的增大而显著增大,其微观原因在于围压增大使岩石内部质点彼此之间距离缩短,增强了岩石的内聚力,颗粒之间不易离散;砂岩试样经历低围压脆性→脆—韧性转换→高围压韧性变形破裂演化的过程。与干燥砂岩试样相比,纯净水浸泡样、150 g/L溶液浸泡样、250 g/L溶液浸泡样和350 g/L溶液浸泡样弹性模量降低幅度分别为67.71%、61.45%、64.69%和57.32%,纯净水浸泡造成的降低幅度最大,流体矿化度的升高能够减弱岩石力学参数弱化的趋势;晶体表面结晶和双电层厚度变化是上述变化规律的重要控制因素。在较低的加载速率条件时,砂岩试样的最大主应力差、弹性模量和泊松比的值都较小,但随着加载速率的增大增速较快;当加载速率达到一定关键数值之后(本次实验为0.05 mm/min左右),岩石力学参数值增速变缓。

塔里木盆地库车坳陷克深气藏超深层致密砂岩储层天然裂缝发育特征及对水侵的影响

天然裂缝是影响塔里木盆地库车坳陷克深超深层致密砂岩气藏气井高产和水侵的重要因素,裂缝研究对明确气藏水侵规律及防控水政策的制定意义重大。通过岩心、铸体薄片、常规测井、成像测井、生产数据、试井等资料,研究了有效裂缝发育特征、分布规律及气藏水侵特征,探讨了不同缝网系统水侵的影响。高角度和近直立的剪切裂缝为该区最主要的裂缝类型。垂向上,巴什基奇克组一段多为全充填裂缝,为无效裂缝;巴二段和巴三段多为半—无充填裂缝,为有效裂缝。平面上,NNW—SSE向有效裂缝富集在气藏西部,且平均开度大;东部相对发育近E—W向、NWW—SEE向的有效裂缝,平均开度较小。有效裂缝越发育,开度越大,气井初期封存水的产出越低,多产出凝析水。从投产到见水,地层水呈封存水、凝析水、可动水、纯地层水等赋存形式产出。有效裂缝的发育程度,开度及走向是影响非均质水侵的重要因素。与水侵方向近平行的、密集的、高有效性的缝网系统会加快水侵速度,导致气井大量产水,严重降低气井产能。综合有效裂缝的发育特征和单井水侵特征,气藏呈现出边底水沿断裂/密集裂缝快速水窜型、边水沿稀疏裂缝缓慢锥进型、边底水缓慢抬升侵入型3种水侵模式。

Study on sedimentation distribution based on cooperative analysis of geologic-geophysical in less well area: A case study of Suweiyi sandstone in the DB area, Kuqa Depression in Tarim Basin

The Kuqa Depression in Tarim Basin develops fan deltaic,braided river deltaic,and lacustrine sedi-mentation,espeially extensive braided river deltaic sedimentation,in the Cretaceous-Paleogene Sys-tems.However,fine sedimentary pattern of the Kuqa Depression and North Tarim Uplift belt since the Middle Cenozoic still needs to be studied.As a combination zone of the Kuqa Depression and North Tarim Uplift,the sedimentary characteristics of the DB area in the southern margin of the east of the Kuqa depression have been paid more attention.To better understand the sedimentary framework in the Kuqa Depression and North Tarim Uplift in the Mesozoic and Cenozoic,through joint geologic-geophysical study,sedime ntation of sandstone at the bottom of the Paleogene Suweiyi Formation in the DB area and its peripheral area is investigated.Sedimentary facies and sandstone distribution in the area are identified through core observation,component analysis,logging interpretation and seismic inversion.Based on seismic facies analysis,sedimentary facies distribution in the area is delineated.Results show that sandstone at the bottom of the Paleogene Suweiyi Fommation in the DB area and its peripheral area is developed in shore shallow lacustrine beach-bar facies.The beach-bar arenaceous sediments are mainly distnibuted in the southern DB area and the shallow lacustrine mudstone is developed in northern DB area,showing obvious north south di ferentiation charactenistics.

盆-山耦合控制下塔里木盆地库车坳陷上三叠统黄山街组层序地层特征

前人对塔里木盆地库车坳陷上三叠统黄山街组三级层序划分方案不一,导致对其内部关键界面性质及沉积演化过程的认识各异。基于库车坳陷野外露头的精细观察与分析重新划分了黄山街组的三级层序。结果表明:(1)黄山街组的4个岩性段构成2个三级层序。黄(黄山街组)一段—黄三段构成东薄、西厚的三级层序SQ1,黄四段构成东厚、西薄三级层序SQ2。2个三级层序均发育低位体系域(LST)、水进体系域(TST)和高位体系域(HST)。(2)三级层序界面SB1,SB2和SB3分别对应于黄山街组底界、黄三段顶界及黄山街组顶界。SB1和SB3都为岩性和岩相突变转换面,SB3也是侵蚀与沉积间断面。SB2是区域抬升形成的沉积间断,有区域可对比的古土壤。(3)盆-山耦合变化控制了黄山街组所包含的2个三级层序的形成。古天山在SQ1低位体系域和高位体系域沉积之初分别经历了2幕强烈的快速隆升,在SQ1末期被侵蚀夷平。盆地沉积响应由强烈拗陷快速沉积充填过渡为稳定拗陷沉积充填,再次强烈拗陷快速沉积充填形成SQ1。发生沉积间断后,在弱拗陷背景下持续稳定沉积充填形成SQ2。
