However, there is no significant discovery in other parts of the basin due to the different quality of black shale and the differences of tectonic evolution. Based on the progress of shale gas geological theory and exploration discoveries, as well as the theory of ＂source rock and cap rock controls on hydrocarbon accumulation＂, of the Upper Ordovician the main controlling factors Wufeng Formation-Lower Silurian Longmaxi Formation shale gas enrichment in the Sichuan Basin and its peripheral areas were analyzed, and the source rock and cap rock controls on the shale gas were also discussed. The results can provide new insights for the next shale gas exploration in this area.展开更多

Therefore, methods of classification of the carbonate rocks founded on the observation of primary structures or textural characteristics are ill-adapted. Consequently, only certain geochemical classification methods allow us to distinguish the various rock-types in the case of Neoproterozoic carbonates. After presenting the most suitable geochemical classifications, we propose a new classification into 14 groups based on a regular ternary diagram with computerized data input. For each sample of carbonate rock, analysis of calcium and magnesium contents allows us to calculate the input data for our diagram i.e. the percentages of Calcite, Dolomite and Insoluble Residue. To automate the application of this diagram, input parameters are created in a descriptive file “Roches.ternaires.txt” using an option called “Ternaires” in the “Diagrammes” software developed by Roland Simler. Thirty cap carbonates of Africa are used to validate this new method.展开更多

This ...The main objective of the present study is to characterize cap rock formation used for geological storage of carbon dioxide (CO2). The petrophysical properties of several rocks were studied before CO2 injection. This step is necessary for an understanding of CO2-brine-rock interactions. The mineralogical composition of several clay samples collected from real storage sites located in the south of Tunisia was determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) coupled to a probe EDS, infrared spectroscopy, thermal analysis and fluorescence spectra. The obtained experimental results reveal that illite, calcite and quartz are the dominant clay minerals. Dolomite and albite are also present. Besides, SEM analysis shows laminated structure for these samples which suggests low crystallinity. This sample contains a higher content of Fe, Cl, Ca and O. The clay cover may also be useful in storage process by immobilizing the migration of CO2 outer of the geological site and activating the process of mineral sequestration.展开更多

文摘During the CO_(2)injection and geological storage process,the integrity of the cap rock significantly influences the long-term safety of CO_(2)storage.Natural fractures within the cap rock serve as potential pathways for CO_(2)migration,thereby increasing the risk of CO_(2)leakage.In this study,we determined the types,developmental characteristics,permeability changes,and CO_(2)-H_(2)O-Rock reactions of natural fractures in the mudstone cap rocks of the Sanduo Formation(E_(3)s)and Dainan Formation(E_(2)d)in the Gaoyou Sag of the Subei Basin using core observations,thin-section analysis,rock mechanics experiments,and paleomagnetic directional analysis.We identified four tectonic fracture sets(NNW,NWW,EW,and NE);high-angle shear fractures,ranging from 60°to 90°(average 82°)and typically measuring4-12 cm(average 7.5 cm),dominate the assemblage,while slip fractures,ranging from 32°to 50°(average 36°)and measuring 3-6 cm(average 3.9 cm),are also present.At the microscale,shear fractures average 160μm,and bedding fractures average 82μm.Notably,85.78%of shear fractures are unfilled,with calcite filling observed in 14.22%,while other fracture types show no filling.Permeability tests on samples without fractures reveal that permeability declines rapidly below 9 MPa,especially in shallower samples,followed by a slower reduction between 9 and 13 MPa,and ultimately stabilizes at approximately 0.00003 mD.In contrast,samples with fractures exhibit permeability that is 3-4 orders of magnitude higher;their fracture permeability decays according to a power law with pressure yet remains above 10 mD even at 46 MPa.Fractures with larger dip angles and those aligned with the maximum principal stress demonstrate the highest permeability.While silicate-filled fractures exhibit negligible changes in permeability,carbonate-filled fractu res experience a temporary enhancement due to dissolution;however,subsequent permeability remains controlled by factors such as effective stress and fracture orientation.

文摘In order to provide effective guidance for optimizing and adjusting the maximum operation pressure and dynamic monitoring well pattern of underground gas storages(hereinafter referred as gas storages)and ensure the operation safety of gas storages,this paper takes Xinjiang H gas storage whose storage capacity and peak shaving capacity are the highest in China as the research object to establish a 3D fine geological model and a 3D dynamic geomechanical model in the regional scale of H gas storage based on the alternating change characteristics of geostress field during the high-speed cyclic injection and production of gas storage,combined with the geological,seismic,logging and various laboratory core experiment results.Then,the trap dynamic sealing capacity of H gas storage under the action of alternating stress after 14 years of depletion development of its original gas reservoir and long-term high-speed injection and production after its reconstruction from the gas reservoir was evaluated comprehensively.And the following research results were obtained.First,the change of the formation pressure in H gas storage has a significant effect on the regional geostress field.Second,after the development of the original H gas reservoir,the geostress on the two sides of the fault are greatly different,but the cap rock is not deformed and failed and the reservoir controlling fault as the gas bearing boundary doesn't glide,which ensures the safety of reconstructing H gas reservoir into gas storage.Third,due to the high-speed injection and production of H gas storage,the geostress field becomes more uneven,which has a potential negative impact on the integrity of the injection and production wells of the gas storage.Fourth,during the long-term high-speed injection and production operation of H gas reservoir,the cap rock does not undergo shear and tensile failure,but the numerical simulation of geomechanics shows that the long-term high-speed injection and production of the gas storage results in the relative sliding deformation(maximum about 5 cm)on both sides of H fault in the south of the reservoir,so the sealing capacity of H fault is a weak point impacting the integrity of the gas storage.Fifth,it is recommended to deploy monitoring wells at the upper block of H fault in the south of the gas storage to strengthen the injection and production dynamic monitoring.In conclusion,this study performs a qualitative and quantitative evaluation on the trap dynamic sealing capacity of gas storages rebuilt from gas reservoirs under the action of alternating stress,and it plays an important guiding role in ensuring the long-term injection and production safety of H gas storage.
文摘越南西北部Pu Sam Cap高钾碱性杂岩位于哀牢山剪切带南段西侧,由粗面岩、煌斑岩、碱性正长岩与碱性花岗岩组成。其中粗面岩不整合于晚白垩世陆相沉积岩之上,碱性侵入岩侵入到三叠纪陆源沉积岩、侏罗纪流纹岩及40～35Ma含角闪石二长岩-花岗岩中。该杂岩的岩石具有低TiO2(<0.8%)、P2O5(<0.64%)和FeO*(<7.74%),高Na2O(1.41%～4.5%)和K2O(5.22%～9.4%)的地球化学属性,属于高钾碱性玄武质到高钾碱性长英质岩浆岩类型与钾质至超钾质岩浆系列。这套岩石富集大离子亲石元素LILE、轻稀土元素LREE和一组相容元素,具有明显的Ta、Nb和Ti异常,表明Pu Sam Cap高钾碱性杂岩形成于与俯冲带有关的大陆弧和后碰撞弧构造环境。锆石LA-ICPMS U-Pb年代学研究表明碱性正长岩与碱性花岗岩分别形成于32.70±0.24Ma、35.1±0.06Ma,上述年龄代表了Pu Sam Cap高钾碱性杂岩的侵入岩结晶年龄。两个样品中锆石的εHf(t)变化范围分别为-2.8～2.5和-4.9～0.1,在t-εHf(t)相关图上分析点落在下地壳和亏损地幔演化线之间,两阶段模式年龄变化范围为950～1286Ma和1107～1421Ma。该杂岩的εNd(t)变化范围-5.63～-3.26,具有低143Nd/144Nd比值(0.512336～0.512447)和高87Sr/86Sr比值(0.706254～0.707273),Sr-Nd同位素相关图上接近于EM2地幔端元趋势线,与大理地区新生代高钾岩浆岩十分相似,表明PuSamCap高钾碱性杂岩的岩浆是幔源岩浆和壳源岩浆的混合结果,同时可与大理地区新生代高钾岩浆岩对比,它们形成于哀牢山-红河左行走滑活动之前,墨江古特提斯洋盆的消减与印度-欧亚陆陆碰撞活动提供了宏观区域性构造背景。
