Identifying oil migration through tectonic fractures in stable cratons is always challenging due to limited technical approaches. Here, we provide a case study showing that combined geochemical and geological analyses are a robust tool for identifying oil vertical migration through tectonic fractures. The core samples and crude oils from the Mesozoic petroleum system in the Zhijing area were investigated by an integrated analysis including petrography, biomarkers, nitrogen compounds, and spatial distribution. The tectonic fractures in the Yanchang Formation (YcF) are more developed compared to the Yan’an Formation (YaF), influencing oil migration patterns and reservoir distribution. Eighty-one percent of the tectonic fractures are filled with calcite cement, while only two percent of the tectonic fractures contain solid bitumen. The YaF and YcF oils originating from the same oil source are at the same maturity level. However, the YaF oils exhibit disordered nC18- distribution and “mismatches” at n-undecane and a decrease in toluene/n-heptane ratios, which resulted from the phase fractionation caused by the vertical migration through tectonic fractures. The spatial distributions of 1/4-MC, 1,8/2,7-DMC, and Ts/Tm values in the YaF oils are irregular. Furthermore, the areas occupied by the YaF oil reservoirs exhibit an absence of YcFs, and vice versa. These distribution patterns can be explained by oil vertical migration through tectonic fractures. A series of pieces of evidence indicates that the oils migrated vertically through tectonic fractures to the YaF. This study offers new insights into the oil migration process within the Mesozoic petroleum system of the central Ordos Basin and serves as guidance for identifying oil migration through tectonic fractures in stable cratons.

使用全烃气相色谱和饱和烃色谱质谱技术对志(丹)靖(边)地区延长组长6以浅的原油开展地化研究.结果发现,这些原油的生源指标相近,均揭示了混合有机质输入的生油母质以及弱氧化-弱还原、水体分层性差的源岩沉积环境.它们的成熟度指标也相近,揭示原油均已成熟.但是,延安组和延长组石油的正构烷烃分布特征和相分馏指标明显不同:前者C18以下的正构烷烃分布凌乱并在C11处出现"错位",甲苯/正庚烷普遍小于0.2;后者正构烷烃分布相对规律,甲苯/正庚烷普遍大于0.2.在延安组内,古河道附近原油的成熟度普遍小于远离古河道的原油,原油成熟度在平面上的分布也无规律.研究认为,研究区长6以浅的原油同源同期,均来自湖盆中心的长7烃源岩.延安组石油异常的正构烷烃分布与石油沿断裂/裂缝垂向运移过程中发生的轻重组分分离、混合有关:源自长7的石油先在延长组内沿砂体发生北东向侧向运移,然后沿断裂/裂缝垂向运移注入延安组.导油断裂/裂缝的展布控制了延安组油藏的分布,是导致延安组油藏在远离古河道的区域仍然发育的原因.
针对安塞坪桥区长9油层组致密油储层难以预测、勘探开发有利区不明确、严重制约勘探开发进程等问题,笔者通过对典型取心井岩相、测井相研究,在确定砂岩沉积微相类型及其空间演化的基础上,对砂岩进行横向追踪对比,准确获取单砂体厚度数据,刻画出单砂体展布特征,并结合生产动态情况,优选出致密油勘探开发有利目标区.研究结果表明,研究区致密油主要分布在长9油层组上部,自上而下可以分为3套砂体.其中,上部1号砂体属于小范围水下分流河道沉积,砂体厚度为1~3 m,油藏分布局限,开发潜力小;下部3号砂体属于水下分流河道沉积,砂体厚度为6~12 m.预测研究区中部P149-6井区、南部H87-19井区和W328-8井区是致密油开发的有利区,其中研究区中部P149-6井区油层分布稳定,对油藏认识程度较高,能够作为水平井开发先导试验靶区.研究成果有效解决了坪桥区致密储层预测难的问题,可以为具有相似地质特征的储层预测提供参考.

According to the comprehensive analysis on the logging data,well logging data,and well cores testing data of 120 wells and the seismic facies of 25000 kilometers long two-dimensional seismic sections of Tabei Area at the same time,the following conclusions are able to draw from.Six sedimentary facies have developed in Jurassic in Tabei Area;they are alluvial fan,braid river,braid river delta,fan delta,littoral-shallow lake,and half-deep lake.Among of them,the braid river delta and fan delta have most widely developed.The braid river deltas have mainly distributed in the area of Yingmaili,Donghetang,Yuenan,western of Lungu,Hadexun,and the southern area of Caohu and Juema.The fan deltas have mainly distributed in the areas of Lunnan and Caohu.The braid rivers have mainly distributed in the areas of Mana 1-Mana 3-Yingmai 3-Yuenan 1-Hade well blocks,Yingmai 6 well block,and southeast of Tabei Area.Littoral-shallow lake and half-deep lake have mainly distributed in Qunkeer Area.The alluvial fan has mainly distributed in the west part of Mana 3 well block and mountain front zones of Kuqa depression.According to the analysis,the aquatic bifurcating channels and subquatic distributary channels of the braid river delta,the bifurcating channels of the fan delta plain,braid river channel sandbody,and the turbinate sandbody located in eastern part of the Tabei Area are the prospective objects for finding lithologic trap.
A suit of high-quality source rock of semi-deep to deep lacustrine facies developed during the age of the seventh member of yanchang formation(Chang7) at late triassic in Ordos basin,which is the most important source rock in Ordos basin.Through using organic geochemistry and organic petrology,the source rocks of Chang 7 in the middle of Ordos basin were systematically studied.The source rocks of Chang7 in the middle of Ordos basin are widespread,whose thickness is in the range of 3~85 m,generally in the range of 10~50 m,and has the trend of gradually thinning from southwest to north and east on the whole.The organic matter abundance of the source rocks of Chang7 in the middle of the Ordos Basin is higher,and its content of TOC generally exceeds 1.0%,and hydrocarbon generation potential generally exceeds 6.0 mg/g,and chloroform bitumen"A" generally exceeds 0.1%,so it belongs to better hydrocarbon source rocks.The organic matter of the source rocks of the Chang 7 member in the middle of the Ordos basin is mainly typeⅠandⅡ1 and small amount is type Ⅱ2 and Ⅲ.The vitrinite reflectance Ro of the source rocks of the Chang 7 member in the middle of Ordos basin is in the range of 0.54%~0.92%,and their highest pyrolysis peak temperature Tmax is in the range of 411~456 ℃,and most of the organic matter has been in maturation hydrocarbon generation stage.
According to the logging data and well logging data of 120 wells,the authors analyze the seismic facies of 25 000 kilometers two dimensional seismic sections and analyze seismic attributes of the three dimensional seismic data of the northern Tarim area,using the seismic amplitude attributes,coherence and seismic facies as the main research techniques.Six sedimentary facies developed in the Triassic: meandering river,braided river,delta,littoral-shallow lake,half-deep lake and deep lake.With the comprehensive analysis of oil and gas accumulation and the sedimentary evolution history,the sandbodys of the meandering river channel,braided river channel,aquatic bifurcating channels and subquatic distributary channel in the Triassic are considered to be favorable lithological-prospecting objects.
The reservoir sandstones from the Chang6 and Chang4+5 oil formations of Zhaotai in Shaanbei is mainly gray fine feldspathic sandstones. The maturaty of components is generally low and that of the texture is fine. Through the analysis of thin sections, cathode light, stereo scanning and diagenetic properties, it showed that there were diversity diagenesis, the most important diagenetic properties which influenced porosities development were mechanical-chemical compaction, cementation and dissolution. The diagenetic stage here was a period of later diagenesis. During the porosities development, compaction and cementation contributed to the massive loss of porosity and caused bad physical property. Constructive diagenesis, such as dissolution and hydrocarbon emplacement improved the physical property of reservoir.
The Shanxi Formation of Lower Permian in the eastern Ordos Basin is the main purpose stratum of gas exploration in the eastern Ordos Basin. The degree of exploration is low in southeast Ordos Basin.The paper analyses the regional geology milieu,the sedimentary type,the sedimentary system and the distribution characteristics of Shanxi Formation.This area is the collection area of the north and south Provenance,mainly grows the littoral-shallow lake facie and the delta front facies.The north and south area grows the delta front facies which submarine distributary channel is the main reservoir.The paper analyses reservoir's characteristic of rock mineral characteristic,physical characteristic,pore configuration as well as analyses the influence reservoir performance's factor.Shanxi Formation sandstone types are mainly quartzose sandstones,the next are debris-quartz sand-stones and debris sandstones.The sandstone reservoir is a close sand reservoir with low porosity and permeability.The leading roles that control reservoirs are deposition and diagenesis.
The Mesozoic Ordos Basin developed the special oil pool sequence,which contains lithologic oil pool,lithologic-structural combination oil pool and structural oil pool from down to up.The comprehensive analyses on the different type of reservoir-forming condition and exploration status showed that the formation of oil pool sequence was controlled by many factors including source rock,oil-gas migration,and reservoir-cap rock combination.The source rock is the main controlling factor for generation of oil pool sequence.The vertical distance between trap and source rock is the vital index,which determines oil source condition.The quality of cap rock has significance for oil pool sequence.
The degree of exploration is low in Yanchang area,SE Ordos Basin.The paper analyses its paleogeographic format,sedimentary facies and their distribution characteristics,rock characteristics,and reservoir conditions,and forecasts the exploration prospect for gas in the lower Shihezi and Shanxi Formations.The conditions of gas source and cap rock are favorable in the area,where develop the main gas productive reservoirs of the lower Shihezi and Shanxi Formations located on the delta front facies,delta plain facies and littoral-shallow lake facies.Quartzose sandstones and litharenites are the primary and secondary reservoirs respectively,and are of low porosity and permeability.Based on rock characteristics,physical property and pore configuration,the reservoirs are divided into four types.Industrial gas is formed in types Ⅰ to Ⅲ,and type Ⅳ doesn't contain industrial gas.The low production rate results from the dispersed distribution of reservoirs.The area of Zichang-Yanchuan-Yanchang,which has multiple-phase channel deposits and thick sandstones,is a promising gas exploration area.
