HUANG Hai-ping
2000, 22(4): 297-301. doi: 10.11781/sysydz200004297
Abstract:
High temperature GC analysis of high molecular weight hydrocarbons (HMWHCs) was performed on marginal mature source rock extractions from the Shahejie Formation, Damintun Depression, whose oil is particularly rich in wax. Organic composition and depositional environment are the main control factors for the formation of HMWHCs. The main maceral components in organic-rich samples (TOC>3.0%) are liptinite and exinite, deposited in relatively reduced environment. They contain high amount of waxes but dominated by macrocrystalline ones (centred at C29). Those organic-lean samples (TOC<2.0%) are dominated by vitrinite, deposited in a slightly oxidized environment. They contain lower amount of waxes but relatively rich in microcrystalline components. Besides normal alkanes, high amounts of branched/cyclic hydrocarbons have been detected in the region above C50.

Abstract:
An improved method to calculate denuded amount by the exponential model of sonic propagation time vs. depth is suggested in this paper. The method considered the physical range of sonic propagation time in rock matrix and the sonic propagation time in Earth's surface, and can well reflect geologic reality and predict compaction trend in shallow and great depths so as to improve the estimation of denuded amount. The improved method is applied to the Triassic strata of the Xihu Depression, the East China Sea by the authors to fit compaction trend and to calculate the denuded amount of major unconformity planes. The estimated denuded thickness of T10 interface at the end of the Miocene in well Donghai-1 is about 1750m.

Abstract:
On basis of studies of reservoir bitumen, liquid inclusion, saturation pressure/bubble point pressure of hydrocarbon pools, there are 4 stages of formation of hydrocarbon pools in Tahe Oilfield and its adjacent: (1) the destruction of pools was occurred in the Early Hercynian, pool-forming and modification in the Late Hercynian, formation of oil pools in the Yanshanian-Early Himalayan, and formation of light oil and gas pools in the Late Himalayan. The forming mechanism of hydrocarbon pools of the Tahe Oilfield can be superimposition, combination and modification of pools in the Tahe Oilfield were supported by the continuous supply of oil and gas from the Lower Paleozoic source rocks since the Hercynian; (2) the Tahe area was long located in a slope, where was the only way of hydrocarbon migration and provided basic condition for large scale of accumulation and multiple pool-forming; (3) efficient combination of reservoirs and seals in various level and the difference of hydrocarbon distribution in time and space resulted in multiple pool-forming and changes of oil and gas properties after pools were formed; (4) evolution of sealing system of pools played very important role in hydrocarbon preservation, destruction and modification. The formation and destruction of early sealing system provided clues for discovery of marine heavy primary oil reservoirs; and reconstruction of late sealing system was important factors for preservation of secondary and primary light oil reservoirs and especially gas reservoirs.

2000, 22(4): 319-324. doi: 10.11781/sysydz200004319
Abstract:
The author systematically evaluates the organic geochemical characteristics of five sets of hydrocarbon source rock series in the Bachu Uplift of the Tarim Basin, studies the distributive features of organic facies for the carbonate and argillaceous source rocks of various strata in plane and section, and discusses the oil/gas sources of the Bachu Uplift. The results show that the major hydrocarbon source rocks of the strdy area are the Cambrian-Ordovician high-mature marine carbonate source rocks in the deep part, while the Carboniferous marine and terrigenous mixed source rocks take second place. The oil and gas mainly comes from deep source rocks of the study area. It is clear that the oil-generating contribution of the east is greater than that of the west, and the contribution of the north is greater than that of the south. Meanwhile, there is the Carboniferous crude oil migrated laterally from the Southwest Depression.

Abstract:
This paper aims at ascertaining the geochemical environment of reservoirs, calculating the oil/gas prospects of reservoirs and establishing the identification indexes of hydrocarbon by the research of modern hydrogeologic characteristics and trackways. The Ordovician Majiagou formation water in the middle part gasfield of the Ordos Basin has high concentration and deep orthometamorphic degree, and is all CaCl2-typed. This indicates that it enters into the complete hydrologic exchanging-stagnant zone and has good sealing conditions. It experienced the evolutionary process of the hydrochemical field, from carbonate rock synsedimentary sea-water to the leached water in the weathering and denuding period, and from the condensed metamorphic water with high mineralization degree in the burial period to the gasfield associated water in the pool-forming period. Compared with sea-water in-house evaporating and condensing curves, M51 gasfield water enriches Cl- and Ca2+ and expends Na+ and Mg2+, showing that the completely isolated setting of reduction is favorable to the accumulation and preservation of natural gas. In this paper, the relationship between hydrochemical characteristic parameters and natural gas accumulation is discussed, and the index system to identify gas prospects by modern hydrochemical characteristics in M51 reservoir is set up.

Abstract:
The recent exploration of oil and gas in the south edge of the Junggar Basin shows that there is huge resource potential in this area. In this paper, the sequence stratigraphic theory based on base-level cycles is used to divide the Mesozoic and the Cenozoic strata of this area into five secular stratigraphic cycles, including LSC1.LSC2, LSC3, LSC4 and LSC5. The developing characters of these cycles are summarized. In the framework of cycles, the dist ribution of reservoirs and cap rocks and the developing characters of their assemblages are analysed. It is pointed out that the study st rata of this area mainly develop LSC5, LSC4, LSC2 and LSC1 four assemblages. Among them, LSC4 and LSC1 are the most favorable gas assemblages of reservoirs and cap rocks.Combined with oil-generating, tectonic and other pool-forming conditions, two favorable gas-accumulation belts in this area are suggested, i. e. the Shanqian gas-accumulation belt in the south edge whose major target stratum is the Jurassic and the Xihu-Manasi-Hutubi favorable gas-accumulation belt whose major target stratum is the Lower Tertiary.

Abstract:
Many buried hill reserviors in the paleozoic and Archaean were discovered in the Shengli Oilfield in recent years. It showed quite difficult for prediction of distribution of storage space and assessment of this kinds of reserviors. A fruitful progress was made during the reservior study on the buried hill namely Chengbei-30. The forming and evolution of the hill was illuminated firstly, then the detail description and distribution prediction of the secondary disoluted vugs, porosity and fractures of carbonates and metamorphite within the buried hill were made by using "integrated evaluation methoa for buried hill reserviors". Furthermore, the reservior features of dual-porosity media were summarized, which may provide some useful guidances for the study of the same reserviors.

Abstract:
The developed degree of the Caledonian weathering crust directly affects the developing of related reservoirs, and paleogeomorphology palys a decisive part in the development of secondary pores. In view of the importance of the Caledonian fossil weathering plane, the paleogeomorphology is divided into karst highland, karst slope and karst depression three paleogeomorphological units in this paper, and four shortcomings existing in the former paleogeomorphological restorstion methods such as the residual thickness method, the standard method, etc. are analysed. On this basis, the sequence stratigraphy method to restore paleogeomorphology whose kernel content is regional unconformable planes with isochroneity is suggested. The authors use this method to restore the Caledonian paleogeomorphology of Zhanhua area in the Jiyang Depression and analyse the karst development features of two different paleogeomorphological units in this area, 991 Buried Hill in karst highland and Gudao Buried Hill in karst depression. Results show that the sequence stratigraphy method can accurately restore the Caledonian paleogeomorphology and predict the developed zones of secondary pores, and at last direct hydrocarbon exploration related to karst.

Abstract:
The desorption time of coal bed gas is an important parameter in the production of coal bed gas. It directly affects the gas production rate of coal bed gas wells and determines if the gas production peak comes earlyor late. By analysis on the factors which affect desorption time, the authors considered that coal rank, ash content, temperature, microlithotypes, the developed degree of cleat and the grain size of coal samples are the most important factors to affect desorption time. The desorption time of major coal bed gas basins in China is generally 0.17~27.42 day. The sensibility of desorption time to gas production shows that the desorption time of coal bed gas in China has little influence over the monowell production of coal bed gas.

Abstract:
For quantitative evaluation of oil and gas resources of the Lower Triassic,the Permian and the Devonian strata for main source and reservoir beds, the fluid inclusion studies was carried out. The results demonstrated that the fluid inclusions trapped in the rocks can be assigned to seven stages in corresponding to different deposition-diagenesis-tectonic stages. Moreover, the thermodynamic parameters of oil and gas with relation to formation environment in the different stages herein be presented, and the history of generation-migration-accumulation of oil and gas in two areas be analyzed. The concerned evidence shows that the primary oil migration was related to the abnormal pressure. While the multiple oil migration to the tectonic movements, the main channels of oil-gas migration were tectonic fractures. The fluids containing oil and gas can be considered as the multiphase immiscible fluid. The data available can be summarized as: the Lower Triassic strata are the best oil-source rocks, and the Devonian strata belong to the gas-source rocks in this region. In addition, the pyroclastic rocks in the north of the region has a positive influence on the generation and evolution of oil and gas, and the granites occurred in the southeast has no affect on the oil and gas pools formation.
