Pyrolysis of asphaltenes from crude oils yields significant amounts of crude oil-like material. Studies of asphaltenes and their pyrolysis products from biodegraded and non-biodegraded oils show that biodegradation does not affect the composition of asphaltene. The overall composition of the oil produced from them on pyrolysis is similar to, yet significantly different from, that of the parent oil. From these compositional differences, it is concluded that asphaltene and its pyrolysis products contain geochemical information which is characteristic, and therefore may shed light on the history of the oil prior to asphaltene formation. 相似文献

The precipitation/replacement of Ca‐phosphate is a complex process that commonly takes place during the early diagenesis in marine sediments. The unusual occurrence of shallow marine, early diagenetic phosphatic deposits associated with glassy tuffs in the Neogene Gaiman Formation, in the Chubut Province, Patagonia, Argentina, constitutes a good case example for the study of replacement and precipitation of Ca‐phosphate on an unstable substrate. Isocon diagrams illustrate that chemical changes during glass diagenesis include gains in loss on ignition and Ca, and losses of K. These changes are the result of glass hydration during sea water–glass interaction, together with adsorption and diffusion of ions into the bulk shard; combined, these represent an incipient process of volcanic glass replacement by Ca‐phosphate. Subsequent early diagenetic P enrichment in the pore solutions led to phosphate precipitation, associated with pitting on the glass shards and pumice. The associated development of a reactive surface promoted the incorporation of P and Ca into their margins. Lastly, precipitation of calcium phosphate filled the vesicles and other open cavities, inhibiting further glass dissolution. The high porosity and reactivity of the volcanic glass provided an appropriate substrate for phosphate precipitation, leading to the development of authigenic apatite concretions in the volcanic‐glass bearing strata of the Gaiman Formation. This research is of significance for those concerned with marine phosphatic deposits and sheds light on the processes of early diagenetic phosphate precipitation by replacement of an atypical, unstable substrate like hydrated volcanic glass. 相似文献

Based on a reliability level 2 method, a procedure is proposed to design reinforced concrete structures for elevated tanks subjected to seismic action, with a specified probability of failure in a 50-year design life. To evaluate the probability of failure the ultimate limit state is obtained when the top column displacement demanded by the earthquake, a random variable, reaches the allowable displacement, which is here treated as deterministic. The seismic action is characterized probabilistically by the power spectral density function of the ground acceleration, which is obtained from a design spectrum. The strength and ductility of an annular column section of confined reinforced concrete for cyclic loads are evaluated with design aids. Design charts are made for a given tank capacity and specified seismic zone that allow one to choose different combinations of strength, stiffness and ductility for the same tolerable probability of failure. A step by step method is suggested for the design of the annular column section, choosing finally the most convenient design. The advantage of this methodology is shown through a numerical example. 相似文献

Middle Ordovician acritarchs, including enigmatic, spore-like microfossils, are recorded from the Labrado and Capillas formations, of the Sierras Subandinas (Capillas River Section, Sierra de Zapla), northwestern Argentina. The Sierras Subandinas represent the outermost exposures of the Central Andean Basin that display an alternation of shallow-marine deltaic systems and estuarine environments, where relative sea-level fluctuations are frequent. The scarcity of fossils in the section, due to the marginal marine settings and frequent subaerial exposures, hinders the biostratigraphic constraining of these sedimentary successions. Based on the palynological assemblages, a probably Dapingian age is interpreted for the upper Lagunilla Member of the Labrado Formation, whereas the lower part of the Capillas Formation is assigned to the Darriwilian. Acritarchs from the lower part of the Capillas Formation indicate clear affinities with the “peri-Gondwana province”. However the lack of Frankea, a marker taxa for the Middle Ordovician, could be related either to the intermediate paleolatitudinal position of the Central Andean Basin or to local paleoenvironmental conditions. The facies analysis and the distribution of palynomorph assemblages throughout the studied section, suggest that organic-walled microfossils are influenced by local paleoenvironmental conditions. A probable non-marine origin is proposed for the spore-like microfossils co-occurring within the acritarch assemblages. 相似文献

An analytical method involving computerized gas Chromatographic mass spectrometric “Multiple Ion Cross Scan” technique has been developed for the study of chemical transformations in the biodegradation of crude oils.The technique has been employed in the study of the bitumens of the Alberta oil sands. Comparison of results from the in vitro simulation experiments with those from field samples of Alberta Lower Cretaceous oils and oil sands suggests that the Alberta oil sand bitumens have arisen from the biodegradation of conventional crude oils. 相似文献

The Athabasca oil sand bitumen, and its major component fractions, have been heated with and without added montmorillonite to simulate natural geological diagenesis. The products of the treatment of the whole bitumen were found to be essentially the sum of the products of the treatment of the component parts. The saturated hydrocarbon fraction underwent little change, with only minor cracking apparent. Some cracking and polymerization of the aromatic hydrocarbon fraction was noted. Geochemical analysis of these products indicated that the simulation had caused a continuation of the normal petroleum maturation sequence towards coke and gas. Treatment of the polar fraction and asphaltenes caused a continuation of the maturation sequence towards a ‘crude oil’, further treatment of which continued towards coke and gas. Geochemical examination of this ‘crude oil’ yielded information on the past history of the bitumen from the time of asphaltene formation. The geochemical evidence indicates that the Athabasca bitumen may have originated in an unusual marine environment, and that the maturation and exodus from its source rock differed from that of conventional crude oils. The overall results indicate that, except for the maturation of the polar and asphaltene fractions, the bio-degradation of a crude oil is not reversible by diagenetic means. 相似文献

Faults are intrinsically heterogeneous with common occurrences of jogs, edges and steps. We therefore explore experimentally
and theoretically how fault edges may affect earthquake and slip dynamics. In the presented experiments and accompanying theoretical
model, shear loads are applied to the edge of one of two flat blocks in frictional contact that form a fault analog. We show
that slip occurs via a sequence of rapid rupture events that initiate from the loading edge and are arrested after propagating
a finite distance. Each successive event extends the slip size, transfers the applied shear across the block, and causes progressively
larger changes of the contact area along the contact surface. Resulting from this sequence of events, a hard asperity is dynamically
formed near the loaded edge. The contact area beyond this asperity is largely reduced. These sequences of rapid events culminate
in slow slip events that precede a major, unarrested slip event along the entire contact surface. We suggest that the 1998
M5.0 Sendai and 1995 off-Etorofu earthquake sequences may correspond to this scenario. Our work demonstrates, qualitatively,
how the simplest deviation from uniform shear loading may significantly affect both earthquake nucleation processes and how
fault complexity develops. 相似文献

The Middle Member of the Zorritas Formation in the Antofagasta region of northern Chile, yielded terrestrial and marine palynomorph assemblages which span the Devonian/Carboniferous boundary. The assemblages show a clear predominance of terrestrial palynomorphs with 70 miospore species, 18 marine phytoplankton species, two non-marine algae and one chitinozoan species, all coming from 15 productive levels. Palynomorphs are poorly preserved and most of them are reworked. Three palynological associations are recognized based on miospores. These are assigned to the Tournaisian–Visean, Tournaisian and probable latest Famennian. Age assignments are discussed in the frame of the spore zonal schemes established for Euramerica and western Gondwana. The stratigraphical distribution of spores allows the identification of the probable position of the Devonian/Carboniferous boundary within the Zorritas Formation. This system boundary is proposed for the first time in Palaeozoic sedimentary rocks of northern Chile. The presence of Gondwanan typical miospore species indicates affinities with this palaeocontinent even though the Tournaisian and Tournaisian–Visean miospore associations support the cosmopolitanism already suggested for the early Carboniferous flora. The significant number of reworked palynomorphs together with the sedimentological analysis of the studied sections, suggest that these deposits were severely impacted by the climatic change and major sea level fluctuations. Similar conditions were recorded in coeval western Gondwana basins. 相似文献

The thiourea adduct, thiourea non-adduct and aromatic fractions from a series of Alberta oil sand bitumens have been subjected to field ionization mass spectrometric analyses. Field ionization mass spectra feature little fragmentation and the molecular weight distributions of compounds in the fractions are readily obtained. Using this method, the various acyclic and cyclic saturated hydrocarbons and the hydrocarbon and thiophenic aromatic materials may be distinguished by compound type and number of carbon atoms. The effect of biodegradation on crude oils is illustrated in the results from the series of oil sand bitumens and their asphaltene pyrolysis products. Field ionization mass spectrometry is potentially an important new analytical tool in organic geochemistry. 相似文献
