Exploration of Laoyachen fault in Zheng-zhou and its activity investigation

In the paper, an exploration is made by the techniques of shallow seismic prospecting, borehole composite profile analysis, field morphological investigation, and new geological dating for the Laoyachen fault in Zhengzhou that was originally recognized as an active one. The result from shallow seismic prospecting indicates this fault only existed in the stratum prior to the Neogene, dislocations and activity traces of this fault could not be found in the Neogene stratum. At the same time, the surface morphological investigation reveals that the location of the so-called "fault scarp" is not consistent with that of Laoyachen fault. Moreover, seismic drilling and borehole composite profile analysis also indicate that the scarp only developed in Malan Loess. The stratum beneath it is gentle and no dislocation traces can be seen. Therefore, we propose that this scarp is not relevant to the Laoyachen fault, which might be resulted from the diverted course of Yellow River. Laoyachen fault is not an active one.

济源-开封坳陷西南部电性结构研究及地热资源远景区预测

应用大地电磁测深(MT)法对济源-开封坳陷西南部深部地层结构和隐伏断裂进行探测研究,共布设了4条MT剖面,获得了84个测深点。通过对大地电磁测深数据的处理、分析和反演,获得了研究区内6 km以浅的二维地电结构模型。结合以往地震和区域地质资料,地层由上至下依次划分为第四系-新近系、古近系、三叠系、二叠系-石炭系、下古生界-元古界。推断了老鸦陈断裂F1与推断断裂F2的位置、产状,其中F1断裂西侧缺失古近系沉积,二者可能对新生代地层沉积厚度有明显的控制作用。认为研究区内有利热储层位应为新近系馆陶组及断裂交汇处附近的三叠系地层。
