The gas compositions contained in the hydrate-bearing zones is dominated by methane with content up to 99.89% and 99.91%. The carbon isotope of the methane （δ^13C1） are -56.7%0. and -60.9%0, and its hydrogen isotope （δD） are -199%0 and -180%0, respectively, indicating the methane from the microbial reduction of CO2. Based on the data of measured seafloor temperature and geothermal gradient, the gas formed hydrate reservoirs are from depths 24-1699 m below the seafloor, and main gas-generation zone is present at the depth interval of 416-1165 m. Gas-bearing zones include the Hanjiang Formation, Yuehai Formation, Wanshan Formation and Quaternary sediments. We infer that the microbial gas migrated laterally or vertically along faults （especially interlayer faults）, slump structures, small-scale diapiric structures, regional sand beds and sedimentary boundaries to the hydrate stability zone, and formed natural gas hydrates in the upper Yuehai Formation and lower Wanshan Formation, probably with contribution of a little thermogenic gas from the deep sedments during this process.展开更多

By means of atomic force microscopy （AFM） and X-ray diffraction （XRD）, it was shown that the NCD films deposited in the C2H5OH/H2 system possesses more uniform surface than that deposited in the CH4/H2/O2 system. Results from micro-Raman spectroscopy revealed that the quality of the NCD films was different even though the plasmas in the two systems contain exactly the same proportion of elements. In order to explain this phenomenon, the bond energy of forming OH groups, energy distraction in plasma and the deposition process of NCD films were studied. The experimental results and discussion indicate that for a same ratio of carbon/hydrogen/oxygen, the C2H5OH/H2 plasma was beneficial to deposit high quality NCD films with smaller average grain size and lower surface roughness.展开更多

However, the oil and gas sources in Zhongqiu structural belt and the reservoir formation process in Zhongqiu 1 trap remain unclear, so study on these issues may provide important basis for the next step of oil and gas exploration and deployment in Qiulitage structural belt. In this study, a systematic correlation of oil and gas source in Well Zhongqiu 1 has been carried out. The oil in Well Zhongqiu 1 is derived from Triassic lacustrine mudstone, while the gas is a typical coal-derived gas and mainly from Jurassic coal measures. The oil charging in Well Zhongqiu 1 mainly took place during the sedimentary period from Jidike Formation to Kangcun Formation in Neogene, and the oil was mainly contributed by Triassic source rock;large-scale natural gas charging occurred in the sedimentary period of Kuqa Formation in Neogene, and the coal-derived gas generated in the late Jurassic caused large-scale gas invasion to the early Triassic crude oil reservoirs. The Zhongqiu 1 trap was formed earlier than or at the same period as the hydrocarbon generation and expulsion period of Triassic-Jurassic source rocks. Active faults provided paths for hydrocarbon migration. The source rocks-faults-traps matched well in time and space. Traps in the footwall of the Zhongqiu structural fault have similar reservoir-forming conditions with the Zhongqiu 1 trap, so they are favorable targets in the next step of exploration.展开更多

The rise of ESG and RSG can be seen as direct answers to these growing issues as communities and operators have both begun to demand better practices to limit the overall effects of UOG production. Few quantifiable metrics exist that holistically try to determine the overall effect UOG production has on local water resources. The FR2 metric/framework developed in this paper attempts to use commonly kept data such as water withdrawn and flowback volumes in conjunction with a new water stress index to quantify the effects operators are having on local water supplies. Testing this framework on a handful of operators from the Marcellus basin using open-source data revealed the value added by these methods as well as their use in a general RSG program.展开更多

The gas-filling station is capable of routinely filling ^(3)He cells made from GE180 glass of various dimensions, to be used as neutron polarizers and analyzers on beamlines at the CSNS. Performance tests on cells fabricated at our gas-filling station are conducted via neutron transmission and nuclear-magneticresonance measurements, revealing nominal filling pressures, and a saturated ~3He polarization in the region of 80%, with a lifetime of approximately 240 hours. These results demonstrate our ability to produce competitive NSF cells to meet the ever-increasing research needs of the polarized neutron research community.展开更多

However, natural gas with high concentration of H2S, ranging from 4% to 7%, was discovered in the Wolonghe Gas pool consisting primarily of porous reservoirs, while the other over 20 fractured gas reservoirs have comparatively low, tiny and even no H2S within natural gases. Researches have proved the H2S of the above reservoirs are all from the TSR origin. Most of the Jialingjiang Formation natural gases are mainly generated from Lower Permian carbonate rocks, the Wolonghe gas pool＇s natural gases are from the Upper Permian Longtan Formation, and the natural gases of the Huangcaoxia and Fuchengzhai gas pools are all from Lower Silurian mudstone. The formation of H2S is controlled by the characteristics and temperature of reservoirs, and is not necessarily related with gas sources. The Jialingjiang Formation in East Sichuan is buried deeply and its reservoir temperature has ever attained the condition of the TSR reaction. Due to poor reservoir potential, most of the gas pools do not have enough room for hydrocarbon reaction except for the Wolonghe gas pool, and thus natural gases with high H2S concentration are difficult to be generated abundantly. The south part of East Sichuan did not generate natural gases with high H2S concentration because the reservoir was buried relatively shallow, and did not suffer high temperature. Hence, while predicting the distribution of H2S, the characteristics and temperature of reservoirs are the necessary factors to be considerd besides the existence of anhydrite.展开更多

文摘Due to limited data on the geochemical properties of natural gas,estimations are needed for the effective gas source rock in evaluating gas potential.However,the pronounced heterogeneity of mudstones in lacustrine successions complicates the prediction of the presence and geochemical characteristics of gas source rocks.In this paper,the Liaohe Subbasin of Northeast China is used as an example to construct a practical methodology for locating effective gas source rocks in typical lacustrine basins.Three types of gas source rocks,microbial,oil-type,and coal-type,were distinguished according to the different genetic types of their natural gas.A practical three-dimensional geological model was developed,refined,and applied to determine the spatial distribution of the mudstones in the Western Depression of the Liaohe Subbasin and to describe the geochemical characteristics(the abundance,type,and maturation levels of the organic matter).Application of the model in the subbasin indicates that the sedimentary facies have led to heterogeneity in the mudstones,particularly with respect to organic matter types.The effective gas source rock model constructed for the Western Depression shows that the upper sequence(SQ2)of the Fourth member(Mbr 4)of the Eocene Shahejie Formation(Fm)and the lower and middle sequences(SQ3 and SQ4)of the Third member(Mbr 3)form the principal gas-generating interval.The total volume of effective gas source rocks is estimated to be 586 km^(3).The effective microbial,oil-type,and coal-type gas source rocks are primarily found in the shallow western slope,the central sags,and the eastern slope of the Western Depression,respectively.This study provides a practical approach for more accurately identifying the occurrence and geochemical characteristics of effective natural gas source rocks,enabling a precise quantitative estimation of natural gas reserves.

文摘The acidolysis gas in source rocks is the desorbed hydrocarbon gas in non-connected pores and carbonate crystal lattice,while the absorbed gas lies in the connected pores and is absorbed by surface.It is controversial about whether to use absorbed gas or acidolysis gas in gas source correlation.Using the absorbed gas and acidolysis gas in the first member of the Middle Permian Maokou Fm(hereinafter referred to as Mao 1 member)of Fuling area in the Sichuan Basin,the differences of components and carbon isotopes between absorbed gas and acidolysis gas and their applicable conditions in gas source correlation were discussed.The results show that:(1)there are larger differences of components and isotopes between absorbed gas and acidolysis gas.The absorbed gas has more heavy hydrocarbons and heavier carbon isotope.This difference can be attributed to the easier diffusion of methane and light hydrocarbons in absorbed gas,leading to relatively enriched heavy hydrocarbons and heavier carbon isotope in absorbed gas;(2)acidolysis gas is a mixture of hydrocarbon gas formed during different stages,while absorbed gas is the result of equilibrium between diffusion and supply of hydrocarbon gas,which can result in the differences on carbon isotope sequences between them;(3)the characteristics of natural gas produced after acid fracturing in the Mao 1 member in Fuling area resembles those of acidolysis gas in source rocks,while the characteristics of natural gas produced without acid fracturing are more similar to those of adsorbed gas;(4)the natural gas pool of the Mao 1 member is a carbonate gas pool with self-generation and self-storage.It is concluded that for the gas pool formed after migration,its producing pays have not been processed by acid fracturing,the produced gas should be correlated with the adsorbed gas in source rocks;for the carbonate gas pool with self-generation and self-storage,acid fracturing is usually needed,and the produced gas should be correlated with the acidolysis gas in source rocks.
文摘Due to the limited number of exploration wells in Paleogene mudstones,as well as the complex and diverse types of delta,lacustrine,and marine source rocks in locations in the marineecontinental transitional zone,there have been few studies of the gas generation mechanism of source rocks in Baiyun Sag.This has resulted in a long-term dispute about the types and stratigraphic sequences of the main gas source rocks.In this study,gas generation simulation experiments were performed using a high-temperature and high-pressure gold tube closed system on various types of source rocks(i.e.,semi-deep lacustrine,shallow lacustrine,delta,and marine transgression/marine facies)from three sets of strata from the Wenchang,Enping,and Zhuhai Formations drilled in Baiyun Sag.Then,the hydrocarbon-generation processes and production characteristics of different types of source rocks at different stratigraphic sequences were rebuilt,and the composition and carbon isotope characteristics of the natural gas generated from these source rocks at different evolution stages were identified.Based on established natural gas generation kinetic modeling of virtual well points in different structural parts of Baiyun Sag,and constrained by the present gas reservoir characteristics and accumulation periods,it was demonstrated that the third and fourth members of the Wenchang Formation in the slopeedepression area of the main subsag would have been the main gas source kitchens in Baiyun Sag.However,due to the overall high degree of thermal evolution in the depression area,the generation of natural gas with maturity comparable to the present gas reservoirs was too earlydthat is,before 20 Madto be effectively captured.

文摘Based on correlation between geochemical characteristics of Sinian and Cambrian source rocks and discovered gas reservoirs,paleoand the analysis on geological conditions of reservoir formation,the sources of natural gas in the Sinian of Sichuan Basin have been discussed to sort out the contribution of Sinian source rocks to the gas reservoirs and effectiveness of Sinian primary gas-bearing system.Through the analysis of natural gas composition,carbon and hydrogen isotopes and effectiveness of Sinian accumulation assemblages,it is concluded that:(1)The natural gas derived from the Sinian source rock is characterized by low ethane content,heavy ethane carbon isotope and light methane hydrogen isotope,and obviously different from the gas generated by the Cambrian source rock.(2)The gas reservoirs discovered in Sinian Dengying Formation are sourced by Sinian and Cambrian source rocks,and the Sinian source rock contributes different proportions to the gas in the 4th member and the 2nd member of the Dengying Formation,specifically,39%and 55%to the 4th member in marginal zone and intra-platform,54%and 68%to the 2th member in the marginal zone and intra-platform respectively.(3)The effectiveness of the Sinian primary gas-bearing system depends on the gas generating effectiveness of the source kitchen,reservoir and combination of gas accumulation elements.For high-over mature marine source rocks at the Ro of less than 3.5%,besides gas generated from the thermal cracking of liquid hydrocarbon,the kerogen still has some gas generation potential by thermal degradation.In addition,the Sinian microbial dolomite still preserves relatively good-quality reservoirs despite large burial depths,which match well with other basic conditions for gas accumulation in central Sichuan paleo-uplift,increasing the possibility of Sinian primary gas-bearing system.The research results confirm that the Sinian primary gas-bearing system is likely to form large-scale accumulation.

文摘Despite its significant exploration potential,the origin of natural gas in the tectonically complex southwestern Tarim Basin remains controversial due to multiple potential source rocks.This study identifies the genetic types and sources of natural gas by integrating gas molecular and isotopic compositions with the geochemical characteristics of potential source rocks.The results indicate that the Kekeya gas field mainly contains coal-derived gas sourced from the Permian Pusige Formation,whereas the Akemomu field and the QT-1 well contain highly overmature gas from the Permian Qipan Formation with some mantle-derived He and inorganic CO_(2).Furthermore,the oil-associated gas in the FS-8 well originates from Permian sapropelic source rocks,while the KS-6 well contains a mixed,oil-associated gas predominantly sourced from the Jurassic Yangye Formation.These findings reveal a complex gas accumulation scenario with multiple genetic types and sources in the southwestern Tarim Basin,providing critical insights for future exploration.

文摘The geochemical characteristics of saturated and aromatic hydrocarbons from different formations and lithologies provide ob-vious evidence for transgressions that occurred during Upper Triassic Xujiahe stage in Sichuan Basin with a great impact on the source input and depositional environment.A clear dual peak distribution for normal alkanes and obvious abundant com-pounds sourced from bacteria and algae in whole oil gas chromatogram indicates the abundance of lower organisms input.The ratio of Pr/Ph is low,ranging from 0.33 to 0.86 with an average of 0.60,quite different from Pr/Ph >2.0 for coal measures in swamp environment,representing source rocks from saline lake or marine facies.In the gas source rocks extracts,abundant β-carotane,-carotane,and their degradated series were detected in the whole oil chromatogram,indicating a reducing envi-ronment.The concentrations of methyl steranes and dinosteranes are high.The content of polycyclic aromatic sulfur heterocy-cles(PASH) is relatively higher in aromatic fraction and the assemblage of fluorene,dibenzofuran,and dibenzothiophene is different from the typical saline lake and the regular swamp facies source rocks,manifesting the transgression effects on gas source rocks.

文摘The Jurassic tight sandstone oil and gas exploration and development in the eastern Yangxia Sag is a new field.To elucidate the origin,accumulation process and potential of tight oil and gas,the authors have conducted comprehensive analyses employing methodologies encompassing source rocks,oil geochemistry,and fluid inclusions.The results show that the abundance of organic matter of Jurassic source rocks is high,and the type of organic matter is ofⅡ-Ⅲand in mature evolution stage.The main source rocks of oil and gas are Huangshanjie Formation and Jurassic coal-bearing source rocks.Ahe Formation developed two stages of hydrocarbon charging,and the period is later than the reservoir densification time.Yangxia Formation oil charged before the reservoir densified,and the late gas charged after the reservoir densified.Hydrocarbon generation intensity of Jurassic source rocks has reached the basic conditions for the formation of tight gas reservoirs.Controlled by the difference of source rocks distribution and accumulation process,tight sandstone oil and gas accumulation conditions are better in the depression direction than in the southeast margin area.This study is of practical importance for expanding the exploration field and selecting favorable areas in the eastern Yangxia sag.

文摘Carbonate rocks in the first member of the Middle Permian Maokou Formation in the Sichuan Basin(hereinafter“Mao 1 Member”for short)have been taken as a set of carbonate source rocks,and they have not been specifically studied from the aspects of reservoir evaluation and testing.By referring the exploration ideas of unconventional natural gas,the Mao 1 Member in Fuling area of southeastern Sichuan Basin has obtained industrial gas flow in development wells in recent years.In order to further clarify the natural gas exploration potential of the Mao 1 Member in this area,it is necessary to study its sedimentary characteristics,natural gas accumulation conditions and main control factors based on the data of field section measurement,systematic coring in drilling and laboratory testing.The following research results were obtained.First,the gas reservoir in the Mao 1 Member in the Fuling area is of sourceereservoir integration,and its natural gas ismainly enriched in blackish graymarlite and nodularmarlite.Second,its reservoir spaces are dominated by grainmargin pores(fractures),diagenetic shrinkage pores(fractures),organic pores and fractures.Third,the pores aremostly in nanometer scale,and the main pore diameter is in the range of 5-50 nm,which is between shale reservoir and conventional reservoir,with strong heterogeneity.Fourth,the gas reservoir is characterized by source-reservoir coexistence,lithology controlling reservoir and extensive layered distribution,presenting two-stage differential hydrocarbon enrichment,namely intraformational near-source enrichment in the early stage and interformational blowdown adjustment in the late stage.Fifth,the development of blackish gray organic-rich fine marlite which is deposited with the episodic upwelling in the outer ramp facies belt is the foundation for the natural gas accumulation,the transformation of clay minerals controls the development of higher-quality reservoirs,good preservation conditions are the key to the natural gas accumulation,and fracture development is favorable for the enrichment and high yield of natural gas.In conclusion,theMao 1Member in this area is a special type of gas reservoir,i.e.,carbonate source rock gas reservoir,which has greater potential of natural gas exploration and industrial gas flow have been obtained in several wells.The discovery of such type of gas reservoirs not only expands the domain of natural gas exploration in the Sichuan Basin,but provides the reference for the natural gas exploration in other areas of South China.
文摘The Unconventional Oil and Gas industry has seen growth over the last ten years that has drastically transformed the domestic energy outlook while bringing up increased concerns over climate and environmental issues. The rise of ESG and RSG can be seen as direct answers to these growing issues as communities and operators have both begun to demand better practices to limit the overall effects of UOG production. Few quantifiable metrics exist that holistically try to determine the overall effect UOG production has on local water resources. The FR2 metric/framework developed in this paper attempts to use commonly kept data such as water withdrawn and flowback volumes in conjunction with a new water stress index to quantify the effects operators are having on local water supplies. Testing this framework on a handful of operators from the Marcellus basin using open-source data revealed the value added by these methods as well as their use in a general RSG program.

文摘At the China Spallation Neutron Source(CSNS), we have developed a custom gas-filling station, a glassblowing workshop, and a spin-exchange optical pumping(SEOP) system for producing high-quality ^(3)He-based neutron spin filter(NSF) cells. The gas-filling station is capable of routinely filling ^(3)He cells made from GE180 glass of various dimensions, to be used as neutron polarizers and analyzers on beamlines at the CSNS. Performance tests on cells fabricated at our gas-filling station are conducted via neutron transmission and nuclear-magneticresonance measurements, revealing nominal filling pressures, and a saturated ~3He polarization in the region of 80%, with a lifetime of approximately 240 hours. These results demonstrate our ability to produce competitive NSF cells to meet the ever-increasing research needs of the polarized neutron research community.

文摘The formation of Mesozoic natural gas in the Pengyang area of southwestern Ordos Basin is discussed,from the perspective of microbial community characteristics,in order to clarify the relationship between the origin of natural gas and its associated indigenous microbial community.The types and diversity of indigenous microbial communities associated with the oil reservoir were studied by means of collecting reservoir formation water samples from exploration wells.The indigenous microbial communities in the Chang 8 member of the Yanchang Formation were primarily distributed within Proteobacteria and Firmicutes,including the specific species and genera of Methylobacter,Pseudomonas,Haibacter,Toxobacillus,Acinetobacter and Adura actinomyces.The results of diversity analysis shows that the number of common genes was 5448,while the number of unique genes and information was less.This reflects the fact that the strata in the study area are relatively closed and not invaded by external water sources,which leads to the development of biological community diversity.In conjunction with the analysis of geochemical characteristics of oil and gas reservoirs in this area,this indicates that the study area possesses the necessary geological conditions for microbial degradation.It is the first time that the species and diversity of the indigenous microbial community in the Ordos Basin have been analyzed,showing that microbial degradation is the main cause of natural gas formation here,changes the characteristics of crude oil in this area and provides first-hand information on the impact of indigenous microorganisms on the reservoir.

文摘The Lower Triassic Jialingjiang Formation reservoirs are distributed widely in the East Sichuan Basin, which are composed mainly of fractured reservoirs. However, natural gas with high concentration of H2S, ranging from 4% to 7%, was discovered in the Wolonghe Gas pool consisting primarily of porous reservoirs, while the other over 20 fractured gas reservoirs have comparatively low, tiny and even no H2S within natural gases. Researches have proved the H2S of the above reservoirs are all from the TSR origin. Most of the Jialingjiang Formation natural gases are mainly generated from Lower Permian carbonate rocks, the Wolonghe gas pool＇s natural gases are from the Upper Permian Longtan Formation, and the natural gases of the Huangcaoxia and Fuchengzhai gas pools are all from Lower Silurian mudstone. The formation of H2S is controlled by the characteristics and temperature of reservoirs, and is not necessarily related with gas sources. The Jialingjiang Formation in East Sichuan is buried deeply and its reservoir temperature has ever attained the condition of the TSR reaction. Due to poor reservoir potential, most of the gas pools do not have enough room for hydrocarbon reaction except for the Wolonghe gas pool, and thus natural gases with high H2S concentration are difficult to be generated abundantly. The south part of East Sichuan did not generate natural gases with high H2S concentration because the reservoir was buried relatively shallow, and did not suffer high temperature. Hence, while predicting the distribution of H2S, the characteristics and temperature of reservoirs are the necessary factors to be considerd besides the existence of anhydrite.
