文摘鄂西渝东地区是中国南方海相油气勘探的重要区块,又是目前页岩气勘探的热门地区,该地区晚燕山-喜马拉雅期以来长期遭受隆升剥蚀.剥蚀量是烃源岩热演化、油气藏形成与演化、资源量计算和盆地模拟中不可缺少的基础参数.考虑到剥蚀量恢复方法固有的局限性和适用条件,本文在分析了古温标镜质体反射率Ro剖面特征之后,采用古地温梯度反演法进行钻井剥蚀量恢复,然后分析钻井剥蚀量与钻井开孔层位之间的相关性,再与地质图相结合编制剥蚀量平面分布图.结果表明：鄂西渝东地区古温标Ro剖面不存在明显的＂错断＂、＂跳跃＂现象。记录的古地温为达到最大埋深时的古地温;钻井剥蚀量与钻井开孔层位之间具有明显的相关性,开孔层位越老,剥蚀量越大,反之亦然;晚燕山—喜马拉雅期剥蚀量总体上从东往西逐渐变小.东部的利川复向斜剥蚀量为2000-4000 m,中部的石柱复向斜为1500-2500 m,方斗山以西为1000-1500 m.
