2018年12月底,在四川盆地二叠系火山岩发育地区部署的风险探井永探1井测试获得22.5万m3/d的高产工业气流,实现了二叠系火山碎屑岩的重大勘探突破,展现了火山碎屑岩气藏的巨大勘探潜力。本文根据该钻井成果资料,应用分析化验数据,采用不同地区气-气对比方法,开展了成都—简阳地区天然气地球化学特征分析、源-储接触关系解剖及气源综合对比。在此基础上,对二叠系火山碎屑岩气藏天然气成因进行了鉴别,对天然气来源进行了判识。结果表明：永探1井火山岩气藏天然气均为典型的干气,干燥系数达0.997,CH4质量分数高,平均为99.03%,C2H6质量分数低,平均为0.35%,C3H8几乎没有,不含H2S;天然气甲烷、乙烷碳同位素值均较轻,甲烷碳同位素平均值为-32.17‰,乙烷碳同位素平均值为-34.27‰,且岩心及镜下可见大量残余沥青,天然气成因鉴别分析表明永探1井火山岩气藏天然气为原油二次裂解气;通过源-储接触关系解剖以及天然气甲烷、乙烷碳同位素对比分析,表明永探1井火山碎屑岩气藏天然气主要来源于德阳—安岳台内裂陷内发育的巨厚下寒武统筇竹寺组优质烃源岩,部分来源于中二叠统。 相似文献

本研究系统采集了四川盆地东北部大普光、元坝地区上三叠统须家河组、下三叠统飞仙关组、上二叠统长兴组和鄂西渝东地区中石炭统黄龙组储层固体沥青样品,进行了岩石热解、有机元素、碳同位素和饱和烃、芳烃组分GC/MS的分析,以确定其成因、性质和来源。这些沥青总体上具有低溶性(多数氯仿抽提物/TOC<8%)、高反射率(换算的Ro>1.4%)、低H/C原子比(<0.6)的性质,属焦沥青类,是古油藏原油或运移烃经热裂解成气的残留物。其中,飞仙关组、长兴组碳酸岩储层沥青的S/C原子比值普遍较高(主要在0.025~0.085范围),且硫同位素δ34S值(主要在12‰~24‰)接近硬石膏,说明可能包含有部分TSR成因的沥青。这些高热演化沥青中饱和烃生物标志物的组成和分布出现了异常变化,基本失去了其常规应用意义。芳烃中2,6-/2,10-DMP(二甲基菲)、1,7-/1,9-DMP和4-/1-MDBT(甲基二苯并噻吩)比值,可用来指示沥青烃源岩的有机质生源构成和沉积环境性质。须家河组陆相沥青中这些芳烃比值较高,表征其烃源母质中陆源有机质占优势,且形成于氧化性的环境;而飞仙关组、长兴组及黄龙组海相沥青中这些参数值低得多,意味着其烃源岩有机质生源应以水生生物为主,并沉积于还原性环境。经沥青/烃源岩的碳同位素和二苯并噻吩系列组成对比,认为须家河组储层沥青来源于本层位烃源岩,飞仙关组和长兴组沥青同源于二叠系烃源层。鄂西渝东地区的黄龙组沥青碳同位素偏重(δ13C值为-23.2‰~-26.4‰),原始烃源可能主要来自中、下志留统韩家店组及小河坝组地层。 相似文献

四川盆地东北部三叠系飞仙关组高含硫气藏H2S成因研究 总被引：88，自引：7，他引：81
四川盆地东北部宣汉－开县地区的下三叠统飞仙关组气藏埋深3000－4500m,地温在100℃左右,天然气中H2S含量为12％－17％。这些H2S为飞仙关组气藏附近的硬石膏经硫酸盐热化学还原作用（TSR）而成。与TSR有关的硬石膏,H2S,S^0和FeS2的δ^24S分别为＋30.4‰, 12.9‰, 19.1‰和＋19.4‰,交代硬石膏的方解石的δ^13C为－7.26‰,δ^18O为－6.41‰,其内所含两相流体包裹体的均一温度为109－151℃。这些高含硫气藏的天然气和储层沥青的热演化程度比其他地区飞仙关组气藏的更高。该区飞仙关组最大埋藏温度超过180℃,但由于后期构造抬升,大于104℃地温的埋藏时间小于20Ma,故气藏H2S含量低于20％。 相似文献

川东北飞仙关组鲕滩天然气地球化学特征与成因 总被引：29，自引：3，他引：26
四川盆地东北部下三叠统飞仙关组鲕滩气藏天然气烃类气体以甲烷为主,含量主要分布在75%～90%之间,C2 含量很少,为0%～0.15%,干燥系数为0.997 0～0.999 8,是典型的干气;非烃气体以H2S和CO2为主,含量分别为4.21%～16.24%和0.97%～10.41%.天然气δ13C1值为-29.0‰～-31.5‰,δ13C2值为-29.4‰～-32.4‰.多参数表明鲕滩气藏天然气是以腐泥型为主的高过成熟天然气.高含H2S的天然气分布区域与含石膏地层分布基本一致,这些H2S为飞仙关组气藏附近的石膏经热化学硫酸盐还原作用(TSR)而生成,CO2是其主要的副产物.在TSR过程中,C2 重烃气体比甲烷更容易与硫酸盐发生反应,也就是C2 重烃气体的消耗速率大于甲烷,从而导致发生TSR反应的天然气C2 含量低、H2S和CO2含量高.天然气δ13C1值与甲烷含量之间具有很好的负相关关系,而与天然气酸性系数[H2S/(H2S CnH2n 2)]具有正相关关系.根据同位素动力学的分馏效应,随着TSR的进行,烃类分子中的12C损耗速率大于13C,残留下来的烃类分子中则更加富集13C,也就是TSR反应使天然气碳同位素变重. 相似文献

川东北飞仙关组储层固体沥青地球化学特征及其气源指示意义 总被引：6，自引：1，他引：5
运用有机岩石学、有机地球化学、催化加氢热解、GC—IRMS等方法和技术,深入研究了川东北飞仙关组储层固体沥青及可能烃源岩的地球化学特征。研究认为,飞仙关组储层固体沥青反射率高,双反射明显,为非均质结构储层焦沥青;在碳酸盐岩储层的各种孔隙中,呈脉状、球粒状、角片状或块状等他形充填,具有中间相结构和镶嵌状结构特征,反映其高温热变质成因;元素组成有S/C高、H/C低的特点,其固体碳同位素组成与长兴组烃源岩干酪根相似。储层固体沥青的可能烃源岩发育于还原—弱氧化咸水沉积环境,有机质来源于水生藻类;氯仿沥青“A”饱和烃甾萜类生物标志物对比表明,上二叠长兴组烃源岩是主要来源,飞仙关组、下志留统烃源岩亦有贡献;催化加氢产物饱和烃及其正构烷烃单体碳同位素组成显示,坡2井飞仙关组储层固体沥青与罐5井飞仙关组烃源岩具有明显的亲缘关系,这也可作为飞仙关组海槽相烃源岩对飞仙关组气藏有贡献的佐证。 相似文献

目前在川东北地区长兴组—飞仙关组已发现普光、渡口河、铁山坡、罗家寨等多个高含H2S的大、中型气田。通过天然气地球化学特征、流体包裹体盐度和岩心及薄片的镜下详细观察后认为,川东北地区长兴组—飞仙关组的大多数气藏遭受了热化学硫酸盐还原作用(TSR)的化学改造,TSR的改造主要表现在3个方面:1使C2 重烃相对于CH4、12C相对于13C优先被消耗,造成天然气干燥系数变大和碳同位素变重;2由于TSR产生的大量淡水的加入,使气藏的原生地层水被稀释,造成地层水盐度降低;3TSR相关流体(烃类和H2S等)与储层岩石之间的相互作用使储层被溶蚀和硬石膏发生蚀变,造成储层孔隙度增大,从而对改善其物性具有重要意义。 相似文献

综合分析四川盆地高石梯—磨溪地区(高-磨地区)震旦系—寒武系天然气、储层沥青及膏盐分布等,发现高-磨地区天然气发生过不同程度硫酸盐热化学还原作用(TSR)反应。主要基于:①天然气中含一定丰度H_2S,震旦系灯影组H_2S含量为0.6%～3%,寒武系龙王庙组为0.2%～0.8%;其δ~(34)S值普遍较重(21‰～23‰),为TSR反应产物;②储层沥青S/C原子比介于0.06～0.4之间,远远超过有机质裂解生成沥青中S/C比的最高上限(0.034),峰值甚至超过了TSR反应强烈的川东北普光气田飞仙关组储层沥青的比值(0.06～0.12),为TSR过程无机S加入所致;③四川盆地寒武系底部发育膏盐类沉积,为TSR反应提供了SO_4~(2-)和Mg~(2+)等物质,灯影组发育富Ca~(2+)/Mg~(2+)、贫Na~+/K~+型地层水,证明盐、膏类溶解的普遍性。地层水中相对缺乏SO_4~(2-),应为TSR反应消耗所致。TSR反应明显氧化乙烷,导致天然气干燥系数增加、δ~(13)C_2变重;TSR反应程度不同造成了龙王庙组和灯影组天然气特征的差异,龙王庙组TSR反应程度相对较弱,天然气甲乙烷碳同位素明显倒转;而灯影组TSR反应程度相对要强,甲乙烷同位素正序分布。考虑TSR效应,恢复原始组成,高-磨地区寒武系—震旦系天然气应有明显的甲烷、乙烷碳同位素倒转现象,这种倒转跟该盆地及世界高—过成熟页岩气特征高度一致,暗示高-磨地区主力气源可能为源岩晚期所成天然气。这一认识可以很好诠释甲烷δ~(13)C_1值较重、普遍低于储层沥青这一为现在主流认识(高-磨地区主体为原油裂解气)所不好解释的现象。对于重新认识天然气成藏聚集规律具有重要意义。 相似文献

四川盆地雷口坡组已成为一个重要的天然气勘探目的层,有关雷口坡组天然气的来源以及雷口坡组是否具有生气潜力还存在争议。研究表明雷口坡组泥质白云岩与泥质灰岩有机碳含量平均达到0.72%,具有较高的生烃潜力。雷口坡组天然气以烃类气体为主,干燥系数为0.99。不同于其他海相层系天然气,其CO2和N2含量较少,总量<10%,仅含微量的H2S;它们的甲烷碳同位素相对较重(-31.5‰~-36.3‰),而乙烷碳同位素较轻,基本上都小于-28‰(-27.7‰~-36.6‰),且部分气呈δ13C1>δ13C2反序分布,属高-过成熟海相油型气。其烷烃气系列碳同位素组成既不同于上覆的须家河组陆相天然气,也有异于下伏飞仙关组-长兴组海相气,具有不同的气源,经与雷口坡组烃源岩轻烃组成的对比,认为其气源主要来自本层位。成藏条件分析表明,雷口坡组天然气的富集主要受烃源岩和储层的发育及分布控制,只有紧邻烃源岩发育的浅滩相白云岩/裂缝型灰岩构成的“岩性圈闭”才能形成天然气的聚集。 相似文献

Gas genetic type and origin of hydrogen sulfide in the Zhongba gas field of the western Sichuan Basin, China 总被引：7，自引：0，他引：7

Natural gases and associated condensate oils from the Zhongba gas field in the western Sichuan Basin, China were investigated for gas genetic types and origin of H2S by integrating gaseous and light hydrocarbon geochemistry, formation water compositions, S isotopes (δ34S) and geological data. There are two types of natural gas accumulations in the studied area. Gases from the third member of the Middle Triassic Leikoupo Formation (T2l3) are reservoired in a marine carbonate sequence and are characterized by high gas dryness, high H2S and CO2 contents, slightly heavy C isotopic values of CH4 and widely variable C isotopic values of wet gases. They are highly mature thermogenic gases mainly derived from the Permian type II kerogens mixed with a small proportion of the Triassic coal-type gases. Gases from the second member of the Upper Triassic Xujiahe Formation (T3x2) are reservoired in continental sandstones and characterized by low gas dryness, free of H2S, slightly light C isotopic values of CH4, and heavy and less variable C isotopic values of wet gases. They are coal-type gases derived from coal in the Triassic Xujiahe Formation.The H2S from the Leikoupo Formation is most likely formed by thermochemical SO4 reduction (TSR) even though other possibilities cannot be fully ruled out. The proposed TSR origin of H2S is supported by geochemical compositions and geological interpretations. The reservoir in the Leikoupo Formation is dolomite dominated carbonate that contains gypsum and anhydrite. Petroleum compounds dissolved in water react with aqueous SO4 species, which are derived from the dissolution of anhydrite. Burial history analysis reveals that from the temperature at which TSR occurred it was in the Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous and TSR ceased due to uplift and cooling thereafter. TSR alteration is incomplete and mainly occurs in wet gas components as indicated by near constant CH4 δ13C values, wide range variations of ethane, propane and butane δ13C values, and moderately high gas dryness. The δ34S values in SO4, elemental S and H2S fall within the fractionation scope of TSR-derived H2S. High organo-S compound concentrations together with the occurrence of 2-thiaadamantanes in the T2l reservoir provide supplementary evidence for TSR related alteration. 相似文献

Permian Khuff reservoirs along the east coast of Saudi Arabia and in the Arabian Gulf produce dry sour gas with highly variable nitrogen concentrations. Rough correlations between N2/CH4, CO2/CH4 and H2S/CH4 suggest that non-hydrocarbon gas abundances are controlled by thermochemical sulfate reduction (TSR). In Khuff gases judged to be unaltered by TSR, methane δ13C generally falls between −40‰ and −35‰ VPDB and carbon dioxide δ13C between −3‰ and 0‰ VPDB. As H2S/CH4 increases, methane δ13C increases to as much as −3‰ and carbon dioxide δ13C decreases to as little as −28‰. These changes are interpreted to reflect the oxidation of methane to carbon dioxide.Khuff reservoir temperatures, which locally exceed 150 °C, appear high enough to drive the reduction of sulfate by methane. Anhydrite is abundant in the Khuff and fine grained nodules are commonly rimmed with secondary calcite cement. Some cores contain abundant pyrite, sphalerite and galena. Assuming that nitrogen is inert, loss of methane by TSR should increase N2/CH4 of the residual gas and leave δ15N unaltered. δ15N of Paleozoic gases in Saudi Arabia varies from −7‰ to 1‰ vs. air and supports the TSR hypothesis. N2/CH4 in gases from stacked Khuff reservoirs varies by a factor of 19 yet the variation in δ15N (0.3–0.5‰) is trivial.Because the relative abundance of hydrogen sulfide is not a fully reliable extent of reaction parameter, we have attempted to assess the extent of TSR using plots of methane δ13C versus log(N2/CH4). Observed variations in these parameters can be fitted using simple Rayleigh models with kinetic carbon isotope fractionation factors between 0.98 and 0.99. We calculate that TSR may have destroyed more than 90% of the original methane charge in the most extreme instance. The possibility that methane may be completely destroyed by TSR has important implications for deep gas exploration and the origin of gases rich in nitrogen as well as hydrogen sulfide. 相似文献

The molecular compositions and stable carbon and hydrogen isotopic compositions of natural gas from the Xinchang gas field in the Sichuan Basin were investigated to determine the genetic types. The natural gas is mainly composed of methane (88.99%–98.01%), and the dryness coefficient varies between 0.908 and 0.997. The gas generally displays positive alkane carbon and hydrogen isotopic series. The geochemical characteristics and gas-source correlation indicate that the gases stored in the 5~(th) member of the Upper Triassic Xujiahe Formation are coal-type gases which are derived from source rocks in the stratum itself. The gases reservoired in the 4~(th) member of the Xujiahe Formation and Jurassic strata in the Xinchang gas field are also coal-type gases that are derived from source rocks in the 3~(rd) and 4~(th) members of the Xujiahe Formation. The gases reservoired in the 2~(nd) member of the Upper Triassic Xujiahe Formation are mainly coal-type gases with small amounts of oil-type gas that is derived from source rocks in the stratum itself. This is accompanied by a small amount of contribution brought by source rocks in the Upper Triassic Ma'antang and Xiaotangzi formations. The gases reservoired in the 4~(th) member of the Middle Triassic Leikoupo Formation are oil-type gases and are believed to be derived from the secondary cracking of oil which is most likely to be generated from the Upper Permian source rocks. 相似文献

川东北飞仙关组甲烷为主的TSR及其同位素分馏作用 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
川东北开江-梁平陆棚东北侧飞仙关组多孔鲕粒白云岩中发生了以甲烷为主的热化学硫酸盐还原作用(TSR),产生高达20%的H2S;而西南侧鲕粒灰岩以低孔、低H2S天然气为特征。东北侧白云岩主要发育白云石粒间溶孔或粒间扩大溶孔,这些溶孔可与方解石(δ13C=-10‰~-19‰)、储层沥青、元素硫、黄铁矿和石英紧密共生,可分布于片状储层沥青与白云石晶体之间,说明白云石溶解作用发生在沥青形成以后。白云石的溶解作用导致现今天然气以无机CO2为主,δ13CCO2主要介于-2‰~+2‰之间。这种溶解作用是在酸性条件下,硬石膏或天青石参与下发生的,可能先产生MgSO4配对离子,而后MgSO4又与甲烷反应产生H2S,净增大了孔隙。研究还发现,普光气田及以东天然气的来源不同于河坝和元坝天然气;对普光气田及以东天然气分析显示,甲烷δ13C值与残余烃含量 之间存在对数相关关系。这表明TSR过程中,甲烷同位素分馏作用遵从封闭体系下瑞利分馏原理。据此计算显示,渡4井约有15%甲烷被氧化了。 相似文献

天然气的组分和碳、氢同位素组成特征研究表明塔里木盆地已发现的天然气均为热解气。通过气源对比可知,该盆地东部地区的天然气主要有两种类型 :1)是来自震旦纪到下古生界海相腐泥型母质的油型气,其甲烷、乙烷、丙烷δ13C值,分别为-44.5‰～-33.8‰、- 42‰～-2 8.1‰和-35.4‰～-2 8.4‰,其甲烷的氢同位素组成大于- 2 0 0‰;2 )是产自中生代陆相腐殖型源岩的煤型气,其甲烷、乙烷、丙烷的δ13C值分别为-40.5‰～-33.1‰、- 2 9.7‰～-2 1.3‰和-2 6.3‰～-2 0.3‰,其甲烷的氢同位素组成小于-2 0 0‰。将天然气的地化特征与地质背景相结合判断可知,在塔北隆起地区一些天然气藏是由成熟 (高成熟 )阶段的油型气与过成熟阶段的油型气混合形成,另一些天然气藏是由成熟阶段的油型气和成熟阶段的煤型气混合形成. 相似文献

Very high S oils (up to 14.7%) with H2S contents of up to 92% in the associated gas have been found in the Tertiary in the Jinxian Sag, Bohai Bay Basin, PR China. Several oil samples were analyzed for C and S stable isotopes and biomarkers to try to understand the origin of these unusual oil samples.The high S oils occur in relatively shallow reservoirs in the northern part of the Jinxian Sag in anhydrite-rich reservoirs, and are characteristic of oils derived from S-rich source rocks deposited in an enclosed and productive stratified hypersaline water body. In contrast, low S oils (as low as 0.03%) in the southern part of the Jinxian Sag occur in Tertiary lacustrine reservoirs with minimal anhydrite. These southern oils were probably derived from less S-rich source rocks deposited under a relatively open and freshwater to brackish lake environment that had larger amounts of higher plant inputs.The extremely high S oil samples (>10%) underwent biodegradation of normal alkanes resulting in a degree of concentration of S in the residual petroleum, although isoprenoid alkanes remain showing that biodegradation was not extreme. Interestingly, the high S oils occur in H2S-rich reservoirs (H2S up to 92% by volume) where the H2S was derived from bacterial SO4 reduction, most likely in the source rock prior to migration. Three oils in the Jinxian Sag have δ34S values from +0.3‰ to +16.2‰ and the oil with the highest S content shows the lightest δ34S value. This δ34S value for that oil is close to the δ34S value for H2S (∼0‰). It is possible that H2S was incorporated into functionalized compounds within the residual petroleum during biodegradation at depth in the reservoir thus accounting for the very high concentrations of S in petroleum. 相似文献

Origin and Accumulation of Natural Gases in the Upper Paleozoic Strata of the Ordos Basin in Central China 总被引：2，自引：2，他引：0
The natural gases in the Upper Paleozoic strata of the Ordos basin are characterized by relatively heavy C isotope of gaseous alkanes with δ 13C1 and δ13C2 values ranging mainly from ?35‰ to ?30‰ and ?27‰ to ?22‰, respectively, high δ13C excursions (round 10) between ethane and methane and predominant methane in hydrocarbon gases with most C1/(C1-C5) ratios in excess of 0.95, suggesting an origin of coal-derived gas. The gases exhibit different carbon isotopic profiles for C1-C4 alkanes with those of the natural gases found in the Lower Paleozoic of this basin, and believed to be originated from Carboniferous-Permian coal measures. The occurrence of regionally pervasive gas accumulation is distinct in the gently southward-dipping Shanbei slope of the central basin. It is noted that molecular and isotopic composition changes of the gases in various gas reservoirs are associated with the thermal maturities of gas source rocks. The abundances and δ13C values of methane generally decline northwards and from the basin center to its margins, and the effects of hydrocarbon migration on compositional modification seem insignificant. However, C isotopes of autogenetic calcites in the vertical and lateral section of reservoirs show a regular variation, and are as a whole depleted upwards and towards basin margins. Combination with gas maturity gradient, the analysis could be considered to be a useful tool for gas migration. 相似文献

Formation Mechanism and Controlling Factors of Natural Gas Reservoirs of the Jialingjiang Formation in the East Sichuan Basin 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2 
下载免费PDF全文
下载免费PDF全文 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. 相似文献

Based on the analytical data of over 30 gas samples, combined with geochemical and geological backgrounds, the composition and distribution characteristics of shallow biogenetic gases in the Baise Basin, a Tertiary residual basin in southern China, were extensively investigated, and the origin and formation mechanism tentatively approached. The shallow gases are primarily composed of gaseous hydrocarbons, generally accounting for over 90%. The abundances of methane and C2＋ homologues show a relatively wide range of variation, mainly 50%-100% and 0%-50%, respectively, depending on the mixing proportions between biogenetic and thermogenic gases. A highly negative carbon isotope is the significant signature for the shallow gases with δ^13C1 values of -55‰ to -75‰. According to molecular and isotopic compositions and light hydrocarbon parameters, the shallow gases in the basin can be classified into three types of origins： biogenetic gas, biogenetic/thermogenic mixed gas, and oii-biodegraded gas. They exhibit regular distribution both spatially and temporally, and are believed to be associated with the maturity of adjoining gas source rocks and biodegraded oil accumulation. The Baigang and Nadu source rocks can be considered to have experienced early and late gas generation during early burial and after basin uplift respectively. A late accumulation mechanism of multiple gas sources is put forward for the formation of the shallow gas reservoirs, which is responsible for the variations in chemical and isotopic composition of the gases in depth profile. 相似文献
