Interpretations of palaeodepositional environments are important for reconstructing Earth history. Only a few maps showing the Jurassic depositional environments in eastern Australia currently exist. Consequently, a detailed understanding of the setting of Australia in Gondwana is lacking. Core, wireline logs, two-dimensional and three-dimensional seismic from the Precipice Sandstone and Evergreen Formation in the Surat Basin have been used to construct maps showing the evolution of depositional environments through the Early Jurassic. The results indicate the succession consists of three third-order sequences (Sequence 1 to Sequence 3) that were controlled by eustatic sea level. The lowstand systems tract in Sequence 1 comprises braidplain deposits, confined to a fairway that parallels the basin centre. The strata were initially deposited in two sub-basins, with rivers flowing in different orientations in each sub-basin. The transgressive systems tract of Sequence 1 to lowstand systems tract of Sequence 3 is dominated by fluvio–deltaic systems infilling a single merged basin centre. Finally, the transgressive and highstand systems tracts of Sequence 3 show nearshore environments depositing sediment into a shallow marine basin. In the youngest part of this interval, ironstone shoals are the most conspicuous facies, the thickness and number of which increase towards the north and east. This study interprets a corridor to the open ocean through the Clarence–Moreton Basin, or the Carpentaria and Papuan basins, evidence of which has been eroded. These results challenge a commonly held view that eastern Australia was not influenced by eustasy, and propose a more dynamic palaeogeographic setting comprising a mixture of fluvial, deltaic and shallow marine sedimentary environments. This work can be used to unravel the stratigraphic relationships between Mesozoic eastern Australian basins, or in other basins globally as an analogue for understanding the complex interplay of paralic depositional systems in data poor areas.  相似文献   

Effect of Shale Reservoir Characteristics on Shale Oil Movability in the Lower Third Member of the Shahejie Formation,Zhanhua Sag

To reveal the effect of shale reservoir characteristics on the movability of shale oil and its action mechanism in the lower third member of the Shahejie Formation(Es3l), samples with different features were selected and analyzed using N2 adsorption, high-pressure mercury injection capillary pressure(MICP), nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR), high-speed centrifugation, and displacement image techniques. The results show that shale pore structure characteristics control shale oil movability directly. Movable oil saturation has a positive relationship with pore volume for radius > 2 μm, as larger pores often have higher movable oil saturation, indicating that movable oil is present in relatively larger pores. The main reasons for this are as follows. The relatively smaller pores often have oil-wetting properties because of organic matter, which has an unfavorable effect on the flow of oil, while the relatively larger pores are often wetted by water, which is helpful to shale oil movability. The rich surface provided by the relatively smaller pores is beneficial to the adsorption of immovable oil. Meanwhile, the relatively larger pores create significant pore volume for movable oil. Moreover, the larger pores often have good pore connectivity. Pores and fractures are interconnected to form a complex fracture network, which provides a good permeability channel for shale oil flow. The smaller pores are mostly distributed separately;thus, they are not conducive to the flow of shale oil. The mineral composition and fabric macroscopically affect the movability of shale oil. Calcite plays an active role in shale oil movability by increasing the brittleness of shale and is more likely to form micro-cracks under the same stress background. Clay does not utilize shale oil flow because of its large specific surface area and its block effect. The bedding structure increases the large-scale storage space and improves the connectivity of pores at different scales, which is conducive to the movability of shale oil.  相似文献   

Coalbed Methane Enrichment Regularity and Major Control Factors in the Xishanyao Formation in the Western Part of the Southern Junggar Basin

There are abundant coal and coalbed methane(CBM)resources in the Xishanyao Formation in the western region of the southern Junggar Basin,and the prospects for CBM exploration and development are promising.To promote the exploration and development of the CBM resources of the Xishanyao Formation in this area,we studied previous coalfield survey data and CBM geological exploration data.Then,we analyzed the relationships between the gas content and methane concentration vs.coal seam thickness,burial depth,coal reservoir physical characteristics,hydrogeological conditions,and roof and floor lithology.In addition,we briefly discuss the main factors influencing CBM accumulation.First,we found that the coal strata of the Xishanyao Formation in the study area are relatively simple in structure,and the coal seam has a large thickness and burial depth,as well as moderately good roof and floor conditions.The hydrogeological conditions and coal reservoir physical characteristics are also conducive to the enrichment and a high yield of CBM.We believe that the preservation of CBM resources in the study area is mainly controlled by the structure,burial depth,and hydrogeological conditions.Furthermore,on the basis of the above results,the coal seam of the Xishanyao Formation in the synclinal shaft and buried at depths of 700-1000 m should be the first considered for development.  相似文献

滇西北剑川盆地新近系地层时代的新认识及构造意义     

王书兵  蒋复初  田国强  傅建利  李朝柱 《第四纪研究》2020,(1):28-39

地处板块接触地带的滇西北剑川地区是研究新构造运动的重要场所。剑川盆地保留有较为完整的新生代地层,在1:250000地质图上,新生界自下而上为古新统勐野井组、始新统宝相寺组、渐新统金丝厂组、中新统双河组和上新统剑川组;其中双河组为一套含可采煤层的砂泥岩夹泥灰岩沉积,剑川组为一套火山-沉积岩组。近期的研究揭示双河组和剑川组均属始新世,但发表的年龄相互包含,并没有清楚的把两者分开。本文采用Ar-Ar和锆石U-Pb方法测试了双河组和剑川组顶、底凝灰岩的年龄,辅以岩体、岩脉的年龄,重新厘定了两个组的顶、底年龄。剑川组顶部凝灰岩锆石SHRIMP U-Pb年龄为34 Ma±;底部凝灰岩黑云母Ar-Ar坪年龄为36 Ma±,与底部侵入岩脉的锆石SHRIMP U-Pb年龄一致;中上部侵入岩脉的黑云母Ar-Ar坪年龄在34~36 Ma之间。同时,老君山岩体、玉召块岩体和沙帽山岩体的锆石SHRIMP U-Pb年龄在34~35 Ma之间。剑川火山-沉积岩组的年龄集中在34~36 Ma之间,属始新世晚期。剑川双河煤矿矿部至三家村及五家村一带,双河组之下新发现一套凝灰岩,其黑云母Ar-Ar坪年龄和锆石SHRIMP U-Pb年龄均为37 Ma±,表明双河组的起始年代不超过37 Ma;双河组形成于36~37 Ma之间,也属始新世晚期。新的结果表明剑川盆地始新统地层应包括宝相寺组、金丝厂组、双河组和剑川组,缺失渐新统沉积。结合其他盆地的年龄数据,表明剑川乃至整个云南地区在渐新世期间为褶皱隆起期。  相似文献

王建华  赵文金  朱敏  李强  蔡家琛  张娜  彭礼健  罗彦超 《地学前缘》2020,27(6):329-340

云南曲靖地区的关底组产出世界闻名的潇湘脊椎动物群(Xiaoxiang Vertebate Fauna),但其地层的划分对比和时代归属一直存有争议,特别是其下部地层的划分及时代归属争议最大。通过在曲靖城南以关底组下段地层为主的刘家冲剖面上开展详细的野外及室内地层古生物学研究工作,文章厘清了该剖面上的志留纪地层,并依据采自数个层位样品中丰富的鱼类微体化石材料探讨了关底组下部的地质时代。研究结果表明:刘家冲剖面上出露的志留纪地层根据岩性变化特征可划分为关底组Ⅰ段(岳家山段)、Ⅱ段(崇家湾段)和Ⅲ段(彩莲段);Ⅰ段的下部以浅黄色、浅黄绿色含砾粉砂质泥岩、钙质粉砂岩为主,未见化石,而上部以深灰色、灰黑色页岩为主,含少量腕足类Lingula sp.及双壳类;Ⅱ段则以灰绿色、暗紫红色页岩互层、并夹薄层状灰岩为主,从下往上灰岩夹层逐渐增多,含丰富的腕足类、海百合茎等无脊椎动物化石及鱼类微体化石;在关底组Ⅲ段地层中首次发现的鱼类微体化石多样性高,门类比较齐全,包括无颌类、盾皮鱼类、棘鱼类和硬骨鱼类四大早期脊椎动物类群,从鱼群组成面貌上看隶属于潇湘脊椎动物群扬子鱼类组合(Yangtze Fish Assemblage)。笔者主要依据对其中棘鱼类的全球对比分析研究,并在结合牙形类等无脊椎动物化石研究进展及新认识的基础上,深入探讨了关底组下部Ⅰ段及Ⅱ段的地质时代。关底组Ⅱ段的时代应为志留纪罗德洛世高斯特晚期(late Gorstian, Ludlow),关底组Ⅰ段含砾岩层之上、含盾皮鱼类“王氏鱼”(Wangolepis)的地层,则应归入罗德洛世高斯特早期(early Gorstian, Ludlow),而在该剖面上尚未发现鱼类化石的关底组Ⅰ段下部,目前还不能确定全部归入高斯特阶(Gorstian),有可能会下延到温洛克统(Wenlock)之中。文章中相关工作的开展,不仅为中国志留纪生物地层的精深研究提供了古鱼类学方面的可靠证据,而且为探讨早期脊椎动物演化提供了新的地质年代意见。  相似文献   

白垩系膏岩层序对铅锌矿床形成的贡献——以云南兰坪金顶超大型铅锌矿床云龙组为例     

曾招阳  薛传东  刘靖坤 《地球学报》2020,41(5):723-738

通过野外地质观察, 结合勘探资料和前人研究, 本次用K-Ar法对兰坪盆地金顶超大型铅锌矿床云龙组中的伊利石开展测年研究, 并分析典型勘探线剖面的主要围岩、矿体及矿石结构构造特点, 论述了矿区膏岩层序可能的时代及其在成矿过程中的作用和方式, 形成如下初步认识: 金顶铅锌矿区云龙组中黏土矿物伊利石的K-Ar法年龄为(105.7±1.4) Ma, 与前人测得地层中黄铁矿Re-Os等时线年龄(114±13) Ma相近, 表明该套膏岩层序的地层时代为白垩纪阿尔布期(Albian); 膏盐岩呈似层状、透镜状、角砾状赋存于云龙组中上部, 经后期成矿作用改造而形成呈似层状、角砾状、不规则状产出的铅锌矿体, 并常与膏盐岩共存; 铅锌矿体的就位空间既包括原膏岩层序的空间位置, 也包括高孔隙度的景星组砂岩; 巨量的云龙组膏盐岩在成矿过程中通过硫酸盐还原提供丰富的硫, 使铅锌矿床达到超大型规模。因此, 巨量膏岩层的消耗是金顶矿床巨量金属得以富集成矿的关键因素之一, 这对特提斯造山带含膏岩层序内寻找类似矿床具有普遍意义。同时, 该类膏岩层序的对比研究, 对于“金顶式”的MVT型铅锌矿床的区域找矿潜力评判也具有重要的指示价值。  相似文献

王振涛  李现根 《古地理学报》2020,22(1):56-74

作为国际前寒武系碳酸盐岩研究的热点,微亮晶(臼齿)碳酸盐岩(简称MT)在前寒武纪古地理重塑、地层对比和古气候研究等方面具有重要研究意义,但对其成因机制的认识长期存在争论。华北克拉通南缘嵩山地区新元古界何家寨组发育大量MT沉积,被前人解释为地震液化的产物。文中对何家寨组MT发育层位进行了详细的形态描述、系统的微相分析和比较沉积学的研究,确定何家寨组MT沉积于碳酸盐缓坡沉积环境,发现MT具有早期成岩作用特征,其形态类型和宿主岩性、沉积环境之间存在密切关系。从多个方面对比探讨了MT微亮晶和地震“液化脉”之间的不同,明确指出,何家寨组MT的形成受到古海洋条件和沉积岩相的严格约束,具有鲜明的古环境意义,和地震没有必然的成因联系。  相似文献
