Depositional features and sedimentary model of Buqu Stage in Mid-Jurassic in Qangtang Basin, Xizang (Tibet), China

The largest Mesozoic northward transgression in Qangtang Basin of Qinghai-Xizang (Tibet) Plateau occurred during the Buqu Stage, Middle Jurassic. Mainly filled with carbonate rocks, the whole basin is composed of transgression-regression sedimentary cycle. Field outcrops and indoor analysis revealed 8 types of sedimentary facies markers in this region. 4 types of sedimentary facies have been recognized: platform facies, platform marginal facies, foreslope facies and basin facies. Influenced by the northern Lazhuglung-Jinshajiang suture zone, central uplift region and southern Bangongco-Nujiang suture zone, these facies belts extended east-west. The sedimentary model was established based on observed depositional features. From their biological features and sedimentary characteristics, it is suggested that the paleoclimate was warm and humid at that time. The Buqu Formation is a promising target for oil and gas exploration in Shuanghu-Duoyong area in future.

羌塘盆地南部海相侏罗系古油藏例析

羌塘盆地具有良好的油气生储盖组合。盆地内已发现100多处油气显示,其中最典型的南羌塘坳陷“隆鄂尼古油藏”发现于中侏罗统布曲组,为一被断层切割的背斜构造,出露面积约10km^2。主要储层白云岩累计厚度达400.9m,孔隙度最高达15.5%,渗透率最高达283×10~3μm^2。分析结果显示油苗性质为“轻质油”,具有海相原油的特征,其烃源岩主要为中侏罗统夏里组页岩。据构造及烃源岩有机质热演化史分析,盆地内构造形成和烃类转化的高峰期同处于燕山运动晚期。该古油藏的发现,说明了羌塘盆地内确实发生过油气的生成、运移和聚集过程,特别是在盆地内三叠系一中侏罗统未出露的大量地区,具有良好的油气勘探前景。
