Sedimentary Processes and Depositional Characteristics of Coarse-grained Subaqueous Fans along Steep Slopes in a Lacustrine Rift Basin:A Case Study from the Dongying Depression,Bohai Bay Basin,China

Coarse-grained subaqueous fans are vital oil and gas exploration targets in the Bohai Bay basin,China.The insufficient understanding of their sedimentary processes,depositional patterns,and controlling factors restricts efficient exploration and development.Coarse-grained subaqueous fans in the Yong′an area,Dongying Depression,are investigated in this study.These fans include nearshore subaqueous fans,and sublacustrine fans,and their sedimentary processes,depositional patterns and distribution characteristics are mainly controlled by tectonic activity and paleogeomorphology.Nearshore subaqueous fans developed near the boundary fault during the early–middle deposition stage due to strong tectonic activity and large topographic subsidence.Early sublacustrine fans developed at the front of the nearshore subaqueous fans in the area where the topography changed from gentle to steep along the source direction.While the topography was gentle,sublacustrine fans did not develop.During the late weak tectonic activity stage,late sublacustrine fans developed with multiple stages superimposed.Frequent fault activity and related earthquakes steepened the basin margin,and the boundary fault slopes were 25.9°–34°.During the early–middle deposition stage,hyperpycnal flows triggered by outburst floods developed.During the late deposition stage,with weak tectonic activity,seasonal floods triggered hyperpycnal flows,and hybrid event beds developed distally.

Depositional process of hyperpycnal flow deposits:A case study on Lower Cretaceous Sangyuan outcrop in the Luanping Basin,Northeast China

Sedimentary process research is of great significance for understanding the distribution and characteristics of sediments.Through the detailed observation and measurement of the Sangyuan outcrop in Luanping Basin,this paper studies the depositional process of the hyperpycnal flow deposits,and divides their depositional process into three phases,namely,acceleration,erosion and deceleration.In the acceleration phase,hyperpycnal flow begins to enter the basin nearby,and then speeds up gradually.Deposits developed in the acceleration phase are reverse.In addition,the original deposits become unstable and are taken away by hyperpycnal flows under the eroding force.As a result,there are a lot of mixture of red mud pebbles outside the basin and gray mud pebbles within the basin.In the erosion phase,the reverse deposits are eroded and become thinner or even disappear.Therefore,no reverse grading characteristic is found in the proximal major channel that is closer to the source,but it is still preserved in the middle branch channel that is far from the source.After entering the deceleration phase,normally grading deposits appear and cover previous deposits.The final deposits in the basin are special.Some are reverse,and others are normal.They are superimposed with each other under the action of hyperpycnal flow.The analysis of the Sangyuan outcrop demonstrates the sedimentary process and distribution of hyperpycnites,and reasonably explain the sedimentary characteristics of hyperpycnites.It is helpful to the prediction of oil and gas exploration targets in gravity flow deposits.

Evaluation of Chang 2 Reservoir in Zichang Area, Ordos Basin

The main sedimentary microfacies of Chang 213 is braided river delta sedimentary system in geological history, and there are three main sedimentary microfacies types: swamp microfacies, distributary channel microfacies and natural embankment microfacies on land. The heterogeneity in the study area is as follows: Chang 212 formation has the strongest heterogeneity, followed by Chang 211 formation with strong heterogeneity, and finally Chang 213 formation with medium heterogeneity. The reservoirs of Chang 2 member in the study area are dominated by IIIa, IIb and IIIb, and the reservoirs are mainly composed of ultra-low porosity and low permeability reservoirs and low porosity and low permeability reservoirs.

Sedimentary and geochemical characteristics of the Triassic Chang 7 Member shale in the Southeastern Ordos Basin,Central China

The Ordos Basin is the largest petroliferous basin in China, where the Chang 7 Member shale serves as the major source rock in the basin, with an area of more than 100,000 km^2 So far, sedimentary and geochemical characterizations have rarely been conducted on the shale in shallow(< 1000 m) areas in the southeastern part of the basin, but such characterizations can help identify the genesis of organic-rich shale and promote the prediction and recovery of shale oil. In this paper,several outcrop sections of the Chang 7 Member in the Tongchuan area were observed and sampled, and sedimentary and geochemical characterizations were conducted for the well-outcropped YSC section. The study results show that the Chang7 Member shale is widely distributed laterally with variable thickness. The organic-rich shale is 7-25 m thick in total and exhibits obvious horizontal variation in mineral composition. In the eastern sections, the shale contains organic matter of TypeⅡ_2-Ⅲ and is low in thermal maturity, with high clay mineral content, low K-feldspar content, and no pyrite. In the western sections, the shale contains Type Ⅱ_1 organic matter and is low in thermal maturity, with high clay mineral, K-feldspar, and pyrite contents. The YSC section reveals three obvious intervals in vertical mineral composition and organic abundance.The Chang 7 Member organic-rich shale(TOC > 10%) contains mainly sapropelite and liptinite, with Type Ⅱ kerogen. It is generally characterized by a hydrocarbon potential of more than 70 mg/g, low maturity, and shallow-semideep lacustrine facies. In the western sections, the shale, still in a low maturity stage, has a higher hydrocarbon potential and is optional for shale oil recovery. However, the Chang 7 Member shale in the study area is highly heterogeneous and its shale oil recovery is practical only in the organic-rich intervals.

Sedimentary facies and depositional model of shallow water delta dominated by fluvial for Chang 8 oil-bearing group of Yanchang Formation in southwestern Ordos Basin,China

A systematic analysis of southwestern Ordos Basin's sedimentary characteristics,internal architectural element association styles and depositional model was illustrated through core statistics,well logging data and outcrop observations in Chang 8 oil-bearing group.This analysis indicates that shallow water delta sediments dominated by a fluvial system is the primary sedimentary system of the Chang 8 oil-bearing group of the Yanchang Formation in southwestern Ordos Basin.Four microfacies with fine grain sizes are identified: distributary channels,sheet sandstone,mouth bar and interdistributary fines.According to the sandbody's spatial distribution and internal architecture,two types of sandbody architectural element associations are identified: amalgamated distributary channels and thin-layer lobate sandstone.In this sedimentary system,net-like distributary channels at the delta with a narrow ribbon shape compose the skeleton of the sandbody that extends further into the delta front and shades into contiguous lobate distribution sheet sandstone in the distal delta front.The mouth bar is largely absent in this system.By analyzing the palaeogeomorphology,the palaeostructure background,sedimentary characteristics,sedimentary facies types and spatial distribution of sedimentary facies during the Chang 8 period,a distinctive depositional model of the Chang 8 shallow water fluvial-dominated delta was established,which primarily consists of straight multi-phase amalgamated distributary channels in the delta plain,net-like distributary channels frequently diverting and converging in the proximal delta front,sheet sandstones with dispersing contiguous lobate shapes in the distal delta front,and prodelta or shallow lake mudstones.

Geochemical characteristics of Dongsheng sandstone-type uranium deposit, Ordos Basin

Generally, sandstone-type uranium deposits can be divided into three zones according to their redox conditions: oxidized zone, ore zone and reduced zone. The Dongsheng uranium deposit belongs to this type. In order to study its geochemical characteristics, 11 samples were taken from the three zones of the Dongsheng uranium deposit. Five samples of them were collected from the oxidized zone, four samples from the ore zone and two samples from the reduced zone. These samples were analyzed using organic and inorganic geochemical methods. The results of GC traces and ICP-MASS indicate that the three zones show different organic and inorganic geochemical characteristics.

Features of Sandy Debris Flows of the Yanchang Formation in the Ordos Basin and Its Oil and Gas Exploration Significance

Sandy debris flow is a new genetic type of sand bodies,which has gained much attention in recent years and its corresponding theory is proved to be a significant improvement and even partial denial to the 'Bouma Sequence' and 'turbidite fan' deep-water sedimentary theories to some point. Oil exploration researchers are highly concerned with sandy debris flows for its key role in controlling oil and gas accumulation processes.In this article,by applying sandy debris flows theory and combining a lot work of core,outcrop observation and analysis plus seismic profile interpretation,we recognized three types of sedimentary gravity flows that are sandy debris flows,classic turbidites and slumping rocks in chang-6 member of Yanchang Formation in the deep-water area of central Ordos Basin.Among the three types,the sandy debris flows are the most prominent and possesses the best oil bearing conditions.On the contrary,the classic turbidites formed by turbidity currents are limited in distribution;therefore,previous Yanchang Formation deep-water sedimentary studies have exaggerated the importance of turbidite currents deposition.Further study showed that the area distribution of deep water gravity flow sand bodies in Yanchang Formation were controlled by the slope of the deep-water deposits and the flows had vast distribution,huge depth and prevalent advantages for oil forming,which make it one of the most favorable new areas for Ordos Basin prospecting.

鄂尔多斯盆地西南部环县地区砂岩型铀矿成矿要素遥感识别

鄂尔多斯盆地是中国重要的能源、矿产产出盆地,先后在盆地北缘发现多个大型砂岩铀矿床,但是在盆内坳陷的铀矿勘查上仍需突破。渗出理论的提出为盆缘找矿向盆内找矿提供了新的理论依据。研究表明:断层、次生还原矿物、磁异常的变化以及地表铀异常信息是渗出成矿作用在浅表的反映。对上述信息的识别可以为盆内砂岩型铀矿勘查提供数据支撑。以鄂尔多斯盆地西南部环县地区为研究区,利用ETM影像、航磁数据进行构造解译,利用ZY1E高光谱影像识别区内主要出露蚀变矿物,结合航磁、航放数据进行综合分析。结果表明:研究区内断层主要表现为NE、NNE走向,其次为NW和SN向,主要出露蚀变矿物为伊利石、碳酸盐岩,主要分布在沿断层与河流下切作用出露的下白垩统岩层中。航磁异常资料显示研究区出现多处磁异常的过渡区,表现为正的弱异常,可能与深部还原性流体的渗出有关。航放数据表明铀的富集与断层、蚀变矿物的分布在空间上有一定关系。综合高光谱影像、航磁航放资料识别出红杂色沉积建造中铀成矿有利的构造与蚀变矿物,在环县地区指出4处找矿有利区,对坳陷内部找矿具有指导意义。

川西南地区中二叠统茅口组一段沉积微相特征及有机质富集模式

为了研究四川盆地中二叠统茅口组一段(茅一段)沉积微相和有机质富集规律,开展了岩石学、沉积微相分析。将川西南乐山沙湾剖面茅一段划分为生物碎屑含灰泥岩(MF1)、生物碎屑泥灰岩(MF2)、生物碎屑含泥灰岩(MF3)、灰泥灰岩(MF4)、生物碎屑粒泥灰岩(MF5)、钙藻粒泥灰岩(MF6)、生物碎屑泥粒灰岩(MF7)和钙藻泥粒灰岩(MF8)共8个沉积微相。结合沉积古环境及地球化学分析认为:①茅一段早、中期,主要发育MF2沉积微相,其次为MF7和MF8沉积微相。该期整体为海侵、缺氧环境,发育上升洋流,初级生产力较高。中、晚期主要发育MF6、MF7和MF8沉积微相,为相对海退环境,含氧量略有上升,上升洋流强度减弱,初级生产力下降。末期以MF2沉积微相为主,含氧量略有上升,初级生产力增强。②茅一段的有机质富集主要受海洋初级生产力与缺氧环境的调控,同时受上升洋流的间接影响。较高的初级生产力与较低的含氧量有利于有机质富集与保存。上升洋流可带来深层营养成分,从而增强海洋初级生产力。③MF2与MF7沉积微相在区域上稳定分布,且具有较高初级生产力和较低含氧量沉积环境,是茅一段有机质富集的有利沉积微相。

鄂尔多斯盆地塔然高勒铀矿床铀矿物赋存状态及地球化学特征

塔然高勒铀矿床是鄂尔多斯盆地北部新发现的大型地浸砂岩型铀矿床。为研究该矿床铀的赋存状态及地球化学特征,并对地浸采铀条件进行初步评价,选取典型样品开展电子探针分析、常量和微量(稀土)元素地球化学分析等工作。研究结果表明,该矿床铀矿物主要为铀石,呈颗粒状、脉状、板状和胶状等赋存于伴生矿物边缘,其中少量铀石伴生硒铁矿、包裹硒铅矿,具生长环带。铀矿石与围岩相比,U、Y、Mo、V、LREE、HREE、ΣREE含量明显增多,而Nb、Ba、Ta、Sr含量明显减少;同时元素相关性分析发现,U含量与Y、V、LREE、HREE、ΣREE含量呈极显著正相关,说明铀成矿与围岩关系不大,主要与成矿流体有关。通过对本区铀成矿条件的分析,认为本区周边及深部找矿潜力巨大。另外由于该矿床铀矿物主要为易溶解的铀石且碳酸盐矿物含量少,易于地浸开采。
