Understanding the direct and indirect factors of these conversions from local studies in the tropics is essential to project the future impact of human activities on the preservation of tropical forests in general and the forests of the Republic of Congo in particular. This study, conducted in five localities with different socioeconomic contexts in the Republic of Congo, aims to analyze the variability of drivers of deforestation and forest degradation linked to urbanization in the Congo Basin. Using a series of land cover maps from the years 1986, 2003 and 2019 for the cities of Ouesso, Pokola, Ngombe, Impfondo and Dongou, as well as field data and socio-economic information collected from local and central administrations, a unique model has been developed to understand the explanatory patterns of forest loss. Deforestation around urban centers is mainly due to urban agriculture due to population growth, as well as the spatial expansion of cities, which have a major impact on the stability and integrity of forests. Shifting agriculture is the main direct cause of deforestation and forest degradation, representing 48% of the total sample, followed by the collection of wood fuel (22%), the collection of construction wood (19%), illegal logging (6%) and urban expansion (5%). Forecasts indicate that forest loss around major cities will increase by 487, 20 ha to 5266, 73 ha by 2050 compared to the base year of 2019. This study highlights the need for a new system of land management and poverty alleviation of local populations to ensure the stability of the Congo Basin tropical forests around large and small African cities.展开更多

文摘It is an important standard to judge the flood disaster in the basin whether the rainfall at the flood-inducing interface is reached.In this paper,the Xin'anjiang model,Topmodel model and SCS model were selected to calculate and compare the rainfall at the flood-inducing interface in the Zhanghe Reservoir basin in Hubei Province.The results showed that average relative error and average absolute error of Xin'anjiang model were-3.36%and-21.46×10^(5)m^(3),which were the minimum,followed by Topmodel model with 5.72%and 26.22×10^(5)m^(3),SCS model with 11.33%and 58.13×10^(5)m^(3).The minimum absolute error of the three hydrological models in calculating the rainfall at the critical interface was 3.26 mm,while the maximum was 49.24 mm.When the initial water level exceeded 120 m,the difference among the three models in calculating the rainfall at the critical interface became more and more obvious.When the reservoir water level was lower than 120 m,it mainly referred to the calculation results of Xin'anjiang model.When the reservoir water level was higher than 120 m,it mainly referred to the calculation results of Topmodel model.The research conclusion can provide reference for small and medium-sized basins selecting hydrological model to calculate the rainfall at the flood-inducing interface.
文摘The conversion of forest land to other types of land cover is one of the major issues in the global fight against climate change. Understanding the direct and indirect factors of these conversions from local studies in the tropics is essential to project the future impact of human activities on the preservation of tropical forests in general and the forests of the Republic of Congo in particular. This study, conducted in five localities with different socioeconomic contexts in the Republic of Congo, aims to analyze the variability of drivers of deforestation and forest degradation linked to urbanization in the Congo Basin. Using a series of land cover maps from the years 1986, 2003 and 2019 for the cities of Ouesso, Pokola, Ngombe, Impfondo and Dongou, as well as field data and socio-economic information collected from local and central administrations, a unique model has been developed to understand the explanatory patterns of forest loss. Deforestation around urban centers is mainly due to urban agriculture due to population growth, as well as the spatial expansion of cities, which have a major impact on the stability and integrity of forests. Shifting agriculture is the main direct cause of deforestation and forest degradation, representing 48% of the total sample, followed by the collection of wood fuel (22%), the collection of construction wood (19%), illegal logging (6%) and urban expansion (5%). Forecasts indicate that forest loss around major cities will increase by 487, 20 ha to 5266, 73 ha by 2050 compared to the base year of 2019. This study highlights the need for a new system of land management and poverty alleviation of local populations to ensure the stability of the Congo Basin tropical forests around large and small African cities.

文摘Research on the distribution and development of black shales in the Lianggaoshan Formation has been deficient,which has hindered exploration for lacustrine shale oil in the Sichuan Basin.Our study characterized the well logging data,core samples,outcrops,and geochemistry of black shales in the Lianggaoshan Formation in the Sichuan Basin.Our analysis focused on the lake basin evolution and the migration characteristics,paleoenvironmental features,formation mechanisms,and developmental model of the black shales.The results indicated that black shales in the Lianggaoshan Formation exhibited significant lateral migration,with an overall thickening trend from east to west.Within the 1st Member of the formation,black shale occurred as a single thick layer in the eastern region that gradually thinned toward the central region.Multiple sets of shale developed within the 2nd and 3rd members,and these had lower thicknesses than the 1st Member and migrated toward central Sichuan.Paleoproductivity and terrigenous input were the main factors controlling the deposition of black shales.A semi-humid climate influenced the deposition of black shales,bringing abundant freshwater,terrigenous debris,and nutrients into the basin.Decomposition of organic matter consumed oxygen in sediment and bottom water,causing localized oxygen deficiency in the strata.

文摘The occurrence types and controlling factors of organic matter in the sepiolite-containing successions of the first member of Mid-Permian Maokou Formation(Mao-1 Member for short)in the Eastern Sichuan Basin,SW China,have been investigated through outcrop section measurement,core observation,thin section identification,argon ion polishing-field scanning electron microscopy,energy spectrum analysis,X-ray diffraction,total organic carbon content(TOC),major and trace element analysis.Finally,the symbiotic adsorption model of sepiolite for organic matter enrichment has been established.The results show that the sepiolite-containing successions of the Mao-1 Member are composed of the rhythmite of mudstone,argillaceous limestone and limestone,with five depositional intervals vertically and the organic matter mostly developed in the mudstone and argillaceous limestone layers within the lower three intervals.The organic matter occurrence types are mostly layered or nodular in macro to meso-scale,blocky-vein-like under a microscope,but scattered,interstitial or adsorbed at a mesoscopic scale.It underwent transition processes from lower to higher salinity,from oxygen-poor and anoxic reduction to oxygen-poor and localized oxygen enrichment on the palaeo-environment of the Mao-1 Member.The first two intervals of the early depositional phase of Mao-1 Member constitute the cyclothems of mudstone,argillaceous limestone and limestone and quantities of fibrous-feathered sepiolite settle down within the Tongjiang-Changshou sag with continuous patchy organic matter from adsorption of alginate by sepiolite in intercrystalline,bedding surfaces and interlayer pores.The third and fourth intervals in the mid-depositional phase are mostly composed of the mudstone and argillaceous limestone alternations with the continuous patchy or banded organic matter in the surface and inter-crystalline pores of fibrous,feathered and flaky sepiolite.And the fifth interval in the late depositional phase of the Mao-1 Member comprises the cyclothems of extremely thin layered argillaceous limestone and thick-layered limestone with the fibrous sepiolite depositing in the argillaceous limestone and irregular organic matter dispersing around the sepiolite.Therefore,the symbiotic adsorption between organic matter and sepiolite effectively enhances the preservation efficiency of organic matter and improves the source rock quality of the Mao-1 Member,which enhances our understanding on the enrichment model of the depositional organic matter.

文摘This study employs the Long Short-Term Memory(LSTM)rainfall-runoff model to simulate and predict runoff in typical basins of the Jiziwan Region of the Yellow River,aiming to overcome the shortcomings of traditional hydrological models in complex nonlinear environments.The Jiziwan Region of the Yellow River is affected by human activities such as urbanization,agricultural development,and water resource management,leading to increasingly complex hydrological processes.Traditional hydrological models struggle to effectively capture the relationship between rainfall and runoff.The LSTM rainfall-runoff model,using deep learning techniques,automatically extracts features from data,identifies complex patterns and long-term dependency in time series,and provides more accurate and reliable runoff predictions.The results demonstrate that the LSTM rainfall-runoff model adapts well to the complex hydrological characteristics of the Jiziwan Region,showing superior performance over traditional hydrological models,especially in addressing the changing trends under the influence of climate change and human activities.By analyzing the interannual and within-year variations of runoff under different climate change scenarios,the model can predict the evolution trends of runoff under future climate conditions,providing a scientific basis for water resource management and decision-making.The results indicate that under different climate change scenarios,the runoff in several typical basins of the Jiziwan Region exhibits different variation trends.Under SSP1-2.6 and SSP2-4.5,some basins,such as the Wuding River Basin,Tuwei River Basin,and Gushanchuan Basin,show a decreasing trend in annual runoff.For example,in the Wuding River Basin,the average runoff from 2025 to 2040 is 12.48 m^(3)/s(SSP1-2.6),with an annual decrease of 0.10 m^(3)/s;in the Tuwei River Basin,the runoff from 2025 to 2040 is 12.96 m^(3)/s(SSP1-2.6),with an annual decrease of 0.10 m^(3)/s.In contrast,under SSP3-7.0 and SSP5-8.5,with climate warming and changes in precipitation patterns,runoff in some basins shows an increasing trend,particularly during the snowmelt period and with increased summer precipitation,leading to a significant rise in runoff.

文摘The northwestern margin of Junggar Basin is the region with the richest oil sand resources in China.For better understanding the enrichment rules and deployment of exploration and development of regional oil sand,it is of great scientific significance to study the accumulation conditions of oil sand in different strata and mining areas of the Junggar Basin.Through a large number of field investigations,drilling verification and sampling tests,it is found that the oil sand in the region covers an area of 2000 km^(2),with shallow and thick reservoir,and predicted resource of 180 million tons.The oil sand resources are mainly distributed in four geological strata,namely the Middle Triassic Karamay Formation,Early Jurassic Badaowan Formation,Late Jurassic Qigu Formation,and Early Cretaceous Qingshuihe Formation.The reservoir is mainly composed of sandstone with high porosity and permeability,and the reservoir space is mainly intergranular pores with a medium average oil content.The oil sand deposit in the region is a typical destructive oil reservoir.The crude oil in the oil sand layer is degraded and thickened from the deep to the shallow,the content of saturated hydrocarbon decreased,and the content of aromatic hydrocarbon,non-hydrocarbon and asphaltene increased.The oil source comes from the deep Permian hydrocarbon-generating depression.Unconformities,faults and marginal fan delta-braided river depositional systems constitute effective migration and storage systems.Caprocks of the Upper Triassic Baijiantan Formation,Lower Jurassic Sangonghe Formation and Lower Cretaceous Hutubihe Formation were formed by three large scale lake transgressions.The Indosinian,Yanshan and Late Yanshan movements are the main driving forces for the migration of deep oil and gas to the shallow edge to form oil sand deposits.It is considered that the oil sand in the northwestern margin of Junggar Basin is of a slope complex migration type.
文摘This study systematically reviews the development history and key technological breakthroughs of large gas fields in the Ordos Basin,and summarizes the development models of three gas reservoir types,low-permeability carbonate,low-permeability sandstone and tight sandstone,as well as the progress in deep coal-rock gas development.The current challenges and future development directions are also discussed.Mature development models have been formed for the three representative types of gas reservoirs in the Ordos Basin:(1)Low-permeability carbonate reservoir development model featuring groove fine-scale characterization and three-dimensional vertical succession between Upper and Lower Paleozoic formations.(2)Low-permeability sandstone reservoir development model emphasizing horizontal well pressure-depletion production and vertical well pressure-controlled production.(3)Tight sandstone gas reservoir development model focusing on single-well productivity enhancement and well placement optimization.In deep coal-rock gas development,significant progress has been achieved in reservoir evaluation,sweet spot prediction,and geosteering of horizontal wells.The three types of reservoirs have entered the mid-to-late stages of the development,when the main challenge lies in accurately characterizing residual gas,evaluating secondary gas-bearing layers,and developing precise potential-tapping strategies.In contrast,for the early-stage development of deep coal-rock gas,continuous technological upgrades and cost reduction are essential to achieving economically viable large-scale development.Four key directions of future research and technological breakthroughs are proposed:(1)Utilizing dual-porosity(fracture-matrix)modeling techniques in low-permeability carbonate reservoirs to delineate the volume and distribution of remaining gas in secondary pay zones,supporting well pattern optimization and production enhancement of existing wells.(2)Integrating well-log and seismic data to characterize reservoir spatial distribution of successive strata,enhancing drilling success rates in low-permeability sandstone reservoirs.(3)Utilizing the advantages of horizontal wells to penetrate effective reservoirs laterally,achieving meter-scale quantification of small-scale single sand bodies in tight gas reservoirs,and applying high-resolution 3D geological models to clarify the distribution of remaining gas and guide well placement optimization.(4)Further strengthening the evaluation of deep coal-rock gas in terms of resource potential,well type and pattern,reservoir stimulation,single-well performance,and economic viability.

文摘The lower member of Dalazi Formation is an important oil reservoir in the Songjiang Basin.Based on the research on its field-measured geological profiles,lithological combination characteristics and grain size distribution characteristics,combined with the analysis of the spatial distribution characteristics,sedimentary structural characteristics and hydrodynamic conditions of the sediments in this member,nine sedimentary microfacies of the fan delta plain subfacies,fan delta front subfacies and littoral-shallow lacustrine subfacies have been identified.The study reveals that lower member of Dalazi Formation in the research area follows a fan delta–shallow lacustrine depositional model in the steep slope zone of a rift lake basin.The sediments primarily originate from the Pre-Mesozoic strata in the steep southeastern and eastern margins.The basin center migrated from the early Xiaoshahe area to the Yangmucun–Shenglicun area,and the sedimentary system gradually transitioned from fan delta to littoral-shallow lacustrine facies.

文摘To address the shortage of characterization scale of field outcrops,we used the characteristics of unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)oblique photography with a wide field of view and a high degree of quantification for image acquisition,data processing,and geological interpretation of the outcrops of the Shaximiao Formation in the Sichuan Basin.We established a 3D digital outcrop model(DOM),which combines the advantages of visualization and digitization the 3D DOM to interpret the characteristics of typical channel sand bodies.Within the study area,we have identified three types of channel deposition:composite channel deposition,crevasse channel deposition,and abandoned channel deposition.Among these,the composite channel deposition was mainly sandstone,the bottom contains conglomerate,with large cross-bedding,and the maximum thickness of the single sand body was 1.96 m.The crevasse channel deposition was mainly fine sandstone and siltstone,with massive bedding and small cross-bedding,and the maximum thickness of the single sand body was 0.64 m.The abandoned channel deposition dominated by mudstone with thin sandstone,the sandstone was mainly lenticular in section,and the maximum thickness of the single sand body was 0.28 m.We identified the depositional model of the studied region,which is dominated by braided river deposition,based on the growth size and correspondence of the sand bodies.The research provides a comparative foundation for the detailed characterisation of the underground reservoir sands found in the Jurassic Shaximiao Formation in the Sichuan Basin.It also serves as a reference for the effective study of UAV oblique photography technology in the field.

文摘Basin effect was first described following the analysis of seismic ground motion associated with the 1985 MW8.1 earthquake in Mexico.Basins affect the propagation of seismic waves through various mechanisms,and several unique phenomena,such as the basin edge effect,basin focusing effect,and basin-induced secondary waves,have been observed.Understanding and quantitatively predicting these phenomena are crucial for earthquake disaster reduction.Some pioneering studies in this field have proposed a quantitative relationship between the basin effect on ground motion and basin depth.Unfortunately,basin effect phenomena predicted using a model based only on basin depth exhibit large deviations from actual distributions,implying the severe shortcomings of single-parameter basin effect modeling.Quaternary sediments are thick and widely distributed in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.The seismic media inside and outside of this basin have significantly different physical properties,and the basin bottom forms an interface with strong seismic reflections.In this study,we established a three-dimensional structure model of the Quaternary sedimentary basin based on the velocity structure model of the North China Craton and used it to simulate the ground motion under a strong earthquake following the spectral element method,obtaining the spatial distribution characteristics of the ground motion amplification ratio throughout the basin.The back-propagation(BP)neural network algorithm was then introduced to establish a multi-parameter mathematical model for predicting ground motion amplification ratios,with the seismic source location,physical property ratio of the media inside and outside the basin,seismic wave frequency,and basin shape as the input parameters.We then examined the main factors influencing the amplification of seismic ground motion in basins based on the prediction results,and concluded that the main factors influencing the basin effect are basin shape and differences in the physical properties of media inside and outside the basin.

文摘Research based on oil accumulation models is essential for exploring the hydrocarbon accumulation theory further.Studies on tight oil accumulation models focused on fan delta depositional systems,and in particular,systems involving source-reservoir separated type are scarce.To explore the accumulation model of tight oil in conglomerate,this study focused on the Permian-Triassic tight conglomerate oil in Mahu sag,Junggar Basin,using well drilling,well logging,seismic profiling,oil testing,and laboratory data,and analyzed the formation conditions,formation types,and distribution patterns of conglomerate reservoirs.The results show that,the conglomerate reservoirs are predominantly lithologic reservoirs and partly fault-lithologic reservoirs;there is no water evident at the edge or bottom around the reservoirs.The tight conglomerate layer in the delta plain subfacies of each fan exhibits high clay content and intense diagenesis,and the argillaceous rocks in the pro-fan delta subfacies and shallow lacustrine facies form the sealing and floor conditions.The sandy conglomerate of fan delta front subfacies is the main reservoir body.Additionally,strikeslip faulting in the Indosinian-Himalayan period formed an efficient faulting system for trans-stratal migration with Hercynian-Indosinian inverse faulting.Oil migration is driven by the overpressure caused by hydrocarbon generation from alkali lacustrine source rocks.The distribution of reservoirs is primarily controlled by the large fan bodies,namely the Zhongguai,Baijiantan,Karamay,Huangyangquan,Xiazijie,Xiayan,and Dabasong fans.Each fan body forms a group of reservoirs or oilfields,resulting in a widely distributed pattern,according to which reservoir and sealing constitute one whole body—i.e.,patterns of“one sand and one reservoir,one fan and one field.”This results in a quasi-continuous accumulation model,which includes strong oil charging,efficient faulting transportation,trans-stratal migration,and lithologic trapped accumulation.The proposed model is an important supplement to the existing model of quasi-continuous oil and gas accumulation.Overall,this study enriches unconventional oil and gas accumulation theories.

文摘The black shales of Wufeng and Longmaxi Formation(Late Ordovician-Early Silurian period)in Sichuan Basin are the main strata for marine shale gas exploration,which have a yearly shale gas production of 228×10^(8)m^(3)and cumulative shale gas production of 919×10^(8)m^(3).According to the lithological and biological features,filling sequences,sedimentary structures and lab analysis,the authors divided the Wufeng/Guanyinqiao and Longmaxi Formations into shore,tidal flat,shoal,shallow water shelf and deep water shelf facies,and confirmed that a shallow water deposition between the two sets of shales.Although both Formations contain similar shales,their formation mechanisms differ.During the deposition of Wufeng shale,influenced by the Caledonian Movement,the Central Sichuan and Guizhou Uplifts led to the transformation of the Sichuan Basin into a back-bulge basin.Coinstantaneous volcanic activity provided significant nutrients,contributing to the deposition of Wufeng Formation black shales.In contrast,during the deposition of Longmaxi shale,collisions caused basement subsidence,melting glaciers raised sea levels,and renewed volcanic activity provided additional nutrients,leading to Longmaxi Formation black shale accumulation.Considering the basic sedimentary geology and shale gas characteristics,areas such as Suijiang-Leibo-Daguan,Luzhou-Zigong,Weirong-Yongchuan,and Nanchuan-Dingshan are identified as key prospects for future shale gas exploration in the Wufeng-Longmaxi Formations.

文摘Based on petroleum exploration and new progress of oil and gas geology study in the Qiongdongnan Basin,combined with seismic,logging,drilling,core,sidewall coring,geochemistry data,a systematic study is conducted on the source,reservoir-cap conditions,trap types,migration and accumulation characteristics,enrichment mechanisms,and reservoir formation models of ultra-deep water and ultra-shallow natural gas,taking the Lingshui 36-1 gas field as an example.(1)The genetic types of the ultra-deep water and ultra-shallow natural gas in the Qiongdongnan Basin include thermogenic gas and biogenic gas,and dominated by thermogenic gas.(2)The reservoirs are mainly composed of the Quaternary deep-water submarine fan sandstone.(3)The types of cap rocks include deep-sea mudstone,mass transport deposits mudstone,and hydrate-bearing formations.(4)The types of traps are mainly lithological,and also include structural-lithological traps.(5)The migration channels include vertical transport channels such as faults,gas chimneys,fracture zones,and lateral transport layers such as large sand bodies and unconformity surfaces,forming a single or composite transport framework.A new natural gas accumulation model is proposed for ultra-deep water and ultra-shallow layers,that is,dual source hydrocarbon supply,gas chimney and submarine fan composite migration,deep-sea mudstone-mass transport deposits mudstone-hydrate-bearing strata ternary sealing,late dynamic accumulation,and large-scale enrichment at ridges.The new understanding obtained from the research has reference and enlightening significance for the next step of deepwater and ultra-shallow layers,as well as oil and gas exploration in related fields or regions.

文摘Taking the shale oil of the first member of the Cretaceous Qingshankou Formation of Changling Sag in southern Songliao Basin as an example,this paper establishes a saturation model of lacustrine shale oil considering the influence of organic matter on clay-bound water conductivity.Based on the fluid characterization results of sealed samples and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance,the differential influence of organic matter on clay-bound water conductivity was quantitatively revealed,and the conductivity mechanism and rock-electrical relationships of lacustrine shale were systematically analyzed.The results show that there are two conductive networks for lacustrine shales,i.e.the matrix free water and the clay-bound water.The bound water cementation index msh was introduced to reflect the impact of organic matter on clay-bound water conductivity,and it is positively correlated with the effective porosity.When there is sufficient rigid framework support and well-developed pores,organic matter is more likely to fill or adsorb onto clay interlayers.This reduces the ion exchange capacity of the electrical double layer,leading to an increase in msh and a decrease in the conductivity of clay-bound water.The overall conductivity of shale is controlled by the clay-bound water conductivity,and the relative contributions of the mentioned two conductive networks to formation conductivity are affected by the effective porosity and msh.The larger the effective porosity and msh,the more the contribution of the matrix free water to formation conductivity.According to the experimental results,the proposed saturation model yields a significantly higher interpretation accuracy in oil saturation than the Archie model and the Total-shale model.

文摘Based on the comprehensive analysis of data from petrology and mineralogy,well logging,seismic surveys,paleontology,and geochemistry,a detailed research was conducted on paleoenvironmental and paleoclimatic conditions,and modeling of the source rocks in the second member of the Eocene Wenchang Formation(Wen 2 Member)in the Northern Shunde Subsag at the southwestern margin of the Pearl River Mouth Basin.The Wen 2 Member hosts excellent,thick lacustrine source rocks with strong longitudinal heterogeneity and an average total organic carbon(TOC)content of over 4.9%.The Wen 2 Member can be divided into three units(I,II,III)from bottom to top.Unit I features excellent source rocks with Type I organic matters(average TOC of 5.9%)primarily sourced from lake organisms;Unit II hosts source rocks dominated by Type II2 organic matters(average TOC of 2.2%),which are originated from mixed sources dominated by terrestrial input.Unit III contains good to excellent source rocks dominated by Type II1 organic matters(average TOC of 4.9%),which are mainly contributed by lake organisms and partially by terrestrial input.Under the background of rapid subsidence and limited source supply during intense rifting period in the Eocene,excellent source rocks were developed in Wen 2 Member in the Northern Shunde Subsag under the coordinated control of warm and humid climate,volcanic activity,and deep-water reducing conditions.During the deposition of Unit I,the warm and humid climate and volcanic activity promoted the proliferation of lake algaes,primarily Granodiscus,resulting in high initial productivity,and deep-water reducing conditions enabled satisfactory preservation of organic matters.These factors jointly controlled the development and occurrence of excellent source rocks.During the deposition of Unit II,a transition from warm to cool and semi-arid paleoclimatic conditions led to a decrease in lake algaes and initial productivity.Additionally,enhanced terrestrial input and shallow-water,weakly oxidizing water conditions caused a significant dilution and decomposition of organic matters,degrading the quality of source rocks.During the deposition of Unit III,when the paleoclimatic conditions are cool and humid,Pediastrum and Botryococcus began to thrive,leading to an increase in productivity.Meanwhile,the reducing environment of semi-deep water facilitated the preservation of excellent source rocks,albeit slightly inferior to those in Unit I.The study results clarify the differential origins and development models of various source rocks in the Shunde Sag,offering valuable guidance for evaluating source rocks and selecting petroleum exploration targets in similar marginal sags.

文摘Taking the second member of the Xujiahe Formation of the Upper Triassic in the Xinchang structural belt as an example,based on data such as logging,production,seismic interpretation and test,a systematic analysis was conducted on the structural characteristics and evolution,reservoir diagenesis and densification processes,and types and stages of faults/fractures,and revealing the multi-stage and multi-factor dynamic coupled enrichment mechanisms of tight gas reservoirs.(1)In the early Yanshan period,the paleo-structural traps were formed with low-medium maturity hydrocarbons accumulating in structural highs driven by buoyancy since reservoirs were not fully densified in this stage,demonstrating paleo-structure control on traps and early hydrocarbon accumulation.(2)In the middle-late Yanshan period,the source rocks became mature to generate and expel a large quantity of hydrocarbons.Grain size and type of sandstone controlled the time of reservoir densification,which restricted the scale of hydrocarbon charging,allowing for only a small-scale migration through sand bodies near the fault/fracture or less-densified matrix reservoirs.(3)During the Himalayan period,the source rocks reached overmaturity,and the residual oil cracking gas was efficiently transported along the late-stage faults/fractures.Wells with high production capacity were mainly located in Type I and II fault/fracture zones comprising the late-stage north-south trending fourth-order faults and the late-stage fractures.The productivity of the wells was controlled by the transformation of the late-stage faults/fractures.(4)The Xinchang structural belt underwent three stages of tectonic evolution,two stages of reservoir formation,and three stages of fault/fractures development.Hydrocarbons mainly accumulated in the paleo-structure highs.After reservoir densification and late fault/fracture adjustment,a complex gas-water distribution pattern was formed.Thus,it is summarized as the model of“near-source and low-abundance hydrocarbon charging in the early stage,and differential enrichment of natural gas under the joint control of fault-fold-fracture complex,high-quality reservoirs and structural highs in the late stage”.Faults/fractures with well-coupled fault-fold-fracture-pore are favorable exploration targets with high exploration effectiveness.

文摘To comprehensively evaluate the alterations in water ecosystem service functions within arid watersheds,this study focused on the Bosten Lake Basin,which is situated in the arid region of Northwest China.The research was based on land use/land cover(LULC),natural,socioeconomic,and accessibility data,utilizing the Patch-level Land Use Simulation(PLUS)and Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tradeoffs(InVEST)models to dynamically assess LULC change and associated variations in water yield and water conservation.The analyses included the evaluation of contribution indices of various land use types and the investigation of driving factors that influence water yield and water conservation.The results showed that the change of LULC in the Bosten Lake Basin from 2000 to 2020 showed a trend of increasing in cultivated land and construction land,and decreasing in grassland,forest,and unused land.The unused land of all the three predicted scenarios of 2030(S1,a natural development scenario;S2,an ecological protection scenario;and S3,a cultivated land protection scenario)showed a decreasing trend.The scenarios S1 and S3 showed a trend of decreasing in grassland and increasing in cultivated land;while the scenario S2 showed a trend of decreasing in cultivated land and increasing in grassland.The water yield of the Bosten Lake Basin exhibited an initial decline followed by a slight increase from 2000 to 2020.The areas with higher water yield values were primarily located in the northern section of the basin,which is characterized by higher altitude.Water conservation demonstrated a pattern of initial decrease followed by stabilization,with the northeastern region demonstrating higher water conservation values.In the projected LULC scenarios of 2030,the estimated water yield under scenarios S1 and S3 was marginally greater than that under scenario S2;while the level of water conservation across all three scenarios remained rather consistent.The results showed that Hejing County is an important water conservation function zone,and the eastern part of the Xiaoyouledusi Basin is particularly important and should be protected.The findings of this study offer a scientific foundation for advancing sustainable development in arid watersheds and facilitating efficient water resource management.

文摘Jiaojiang sag in the East China Sea Basin is at the earlier exploration stage,where characterizing hydrocarbon generation of source rocks is important to understand oil-gas exploration potential.Utilizing geochemical and basin modeling analysis,hydrocarbon generation capacity and process of the Paleocene E_(1)y,E_(1)l and E_(1)m formations were investigated.Results show that E_(1)y and E_(1)l mudstones are high-quality source rocks with Type Ⅱ kerogen,which is dominated by both aquatic organisms and terrestrial higher plants deposited in sub-reduced environment.E_(1)m mudstone interbedded with thin carbonaceous mudstone and coal is poor-quality source rock with Type Ⅲ kerogen,whose organic matter was originated from terrestrial higher plants under oxidized environment.Controlled by burial and maturity histories,E_(1)y and E_(1)l source rocks experienced two hydrocarbon generation stages,which took place in the Late Paleocene and in the Middle to Late Eocene,respectively,and had high hydrocarbon generation capacity with cumulative hydrocarbon volume of 363 and 328 mg/g,respectively.E_(1)m source rock only had one hydrocarbon generation process in the Late Eocene,which had low hydrocarbon generation capacity with cumulative hydrocarbon volume of only 24 mg/g.The future oil-gas exploration in the Jiaojiang sag should focus on hydrocarbon generation center and select targets in the central uplift formed before the Miocene with high-quality traps.

文摘The evolution of faults within the same stress field is frequently influenced by numerous factors,involving the reactivation of pre-existing structures,stress transmission through ductile detachment layers,and the growth,interaction,as well as linkage of new fault segments.This study analyses a complex multi-phase oblique extension fault system in the Nanpu Sag(NPS)of the Bohai Bay Basin(BBB),China.High-resolution three-dimensional(3D)seismic data and analogue modelling indicate that the oblique extensional reactivation of pre-existing structures governs the sequential arrangement of fault segments in the caprock,and they dip synthetically to the reactivated fault at depth.During the NW-SE extension in the Eocene,the predominant movement of the pre-existing fault is strike-slip.Subsequently,during the N-S extension since the Oligocene,inclined at 20.to the pre-existing fault,forming splay fault segments and ultimately creating large en-echelon arcuate faults linked by relay ramps.Using fault throw-distance(T-D)and laser scanning,we reconstructed the fault evolution model of oblique extension reactivation in the presence of a ductile detachment basement.Our study illustrates that the arcuate faults can be categorized into linear master fault segments controlled by pre-existing structures,bending splay faults in the termination zone,and normal fault segments responding to the regional stress field.The interaction between faults occurs among normal faults and strike-slip faults,and the kinematic unification of the two fault systems is accomplished in the intersection zone.As the faults continue to evolve,the new fault segments tend to relinquish the control of pre-existing structures and concentrate more on the development of planar and continuous major faults.The ductile detachment layer significantly contributes to the uniform distribution of strain,resulting in narrow shear zones and discontinuous normal faults in its absence.

文摘Through core observation,thin section identification,X-ray diffraction analysis,scanning electron microscopy,and low-temperature nitrogen adsorption and isothermal adsorption experiments,the lithology and pore characteristics of the Upper Carboniferous bauxite series in eastern Ordos Basin were analyzed to reveal the formation and evolution process of the bauxite reservoirs.A petrological nomenclature and classification scheme for bauxitic rocks based on three units(aluminum hydroxides,iron minerals and clay minerals)is proposed.It is found that bauxitic mudstone is in the form of dense massive and clastic structures,while the(clayey)bauxite is of dense massive,pisolite,oolite,porous soil and clastic structures.Both bauxitic mudstone and bauxite reservoirs develop dissolution pores,intercrystalline pores,and microfractures as the dominant gas storage space,with the porosity less than 10% and mesopores in dominance.The bauxite series in the North China Craton can be divided into five sections,i.e.,ferrilite(Shanxi-style iron ore,section A),bauxitic mudstone(section B),bauxite(section C),bauxite mudstone(debris-containing,section D)and dark mudstone-coal section(section E).The burrow/funnel filling,lenticular,layered/massive bauxite deposits occur separately in the karst platforms,gentle slopes and low-lying areas.The karst platforms and gentle slopes are conducive to surface water leaching,with strong karstification,well-developed pores,large reservoir thickness and good physical properties,but poor strata continuity.The low-lying areas have poor physical properties but relatively continuous and stable reservoirs.The gas enrichment in bauxites is jointly controlled by source rock,reservoir rock and fractures.This recognition provides geological basis for the exploration and development of natural gas in the Upper Carboniferous in the study area and similar bauxite systems.
