Calculating the formation period of fault lateral sealing and its application

The study aims to find out the formation period of fault traps near faults in petroliferous basins,based on an analysis of the formation period of fault lateral sealing and related influential factors.A method to calculate the formation period of fault lateral sealing(i.e.the time when displacement pressure of fault rock is equal to that of reservoir rock in fault wall with hydrocarbon migration)is established by comparing the relationship between displacement pressure and time for fault rock and reservoir rock.This method is then applied to the study on reservoirs in the 1^(st),2^(nd),and 3^(rd) members of Dongying Formation(E_(3)d^(1),E_(3)d^(2) and E_(3)d^(3))in terms of formation period of lateral sealing of F3 fault crossing the three reservoirs in the No.5 structure of Nanpu Sag in Bohai Bay Basin.The results indicate that the formation period of the lateral sealing in the studied reservoirs can date from 7.1 Ma,7.4 Ma and 9.2 Ma respectively,all prior to the hydrocarbon accumulation period(about 2.58 Ma).Hence,it can be concluded that these reservoirs are favorable for the accumulation and preservation of hydrocarbons generated from the underlying source rock E_(3)s^(3),and the method proposed is feasible in calculating the formation period of fault lateral sealing.

Multi-Stage Fluid Charging and Critical Period of Hydrocarbon Accumulation of the Sinian Dengying Formation in Central Sichuan Basin

Objective The natural gas exploration of the Sinian reservoirs in the central Sichuan Basin has made a significant breakthrough in recent years, and has thus attracted much attention among geologists. The Sichuan Basin is known to have complicated geological settings, which has experienced multiple stages of tectonic evolution, fluid charging and hydrocarbon accumulation. This research aims to determine the geochemical characteristics of each stage of fluids, the features and time interval of fluid activity in different geologic periods, and further to restore the critical period and geological age of the hydrocarbon accumulation.

The Drifting History of the China Main Blocks during Specific Periods and their Tectonic Constraints on Marine Potash Formation

1 Introduction Most of the world well know potash mines are deposited in marine environment.Regarding the serious potash shortage,no significant progress has been made in marine potash in China,while the terrestrial potash

A Seismic Facies Analysis to Determine the Relative Age and History of the Al Idrissi Mud Volcano from Offshore Larache Located in the NW Moroccan Atlantic Margin

Formed on top of the Gulf of Cadiz, the Al Idrissi mud volcano is the shallowest and largest mud volcano in the El Arraiche mud volcano field of the northwestern Moroccan margin. The development and morphology of mud volcanoes from the El Arraiche mud volcanoes group have been studied at a large scale. However, the time interval related to their formation period still needs to be better understood. In this regard, we interpreted and analyzed the seismic facies from the 2D reflection data of the GEOMARGEN-1 campaign, which took place in 2011. The aim was to identify the seismic sequences and draw the Al Idrissi mud volcano system to determine the formation period of the Al Idriss mud volcano. And as a result, the Al Idrissi mud volcano system is made of both buried and superficial bicone and was identified along with the Upper Tortonian to Messinian-Upper Pliocene facies. As the initial mud volcano extrusive edifice, the buried bicone was formed in the Late-Messinian to Early-Pliocene period. However, the superficial bicone, as the final extrusive edifice, was included in the Late Pliocene. In this case, the timing interval between the buried and superficial bicone is equivalent to the Late-Messinian to Upper-Pliocene period. Therefore, the latter corresponds to the Al Idrissi mud volcano formation period.

BM(book-to-market ratio) factor: mediumterm momentum and long-term reversal

To explain medium-term momentum and long-term reversal,we use the difference between the optional model and the CAPM model to construct a winner-loser portfolio.According to the CAPM model’s zero explanatory ability with respect to stock market anomalies,we obtain an anomaly interpretative model.This study shows that this anomaly interpretative model can explain stock market perceptions and medium-term momentum.Most importantly,BM is a critical factor in the model’s explanatory ability.We present a robustness test,which includes selecting new sample data,adding new auxiliary variables,changing sample years,and adding industry fixed effects.In general,the BM effect does have considerable explanatory power in medium-term momentum and long-term reversal.
