Abstract The Qingdong area, located in Bohai bay basin, was suspected good exploration prospects. In order to study tectonic features and find out favourable petroleum prospects in the area, the gravity data at a scale of 1:50,000 were interpreted. This paper, through data processing and synthetic interpretation of the high-precision gravity data in the area, discusses characteristics of the gravity field and their geological implications, determines the fault system, analyses features of the main strata, divides structure units and predicts favourable petroleum zones. The results showed that the faults controlled the development of the Mesozoic and Cenozoic strata and the distribution of local structures in this area. The study revealed that the Qingtuozi uplift and the Kendong uplift in the north were formed in Mesozoic, and the Qingdong depression in the middle was the rift basin in Mesozoic and Cenozoic. Thicker strata in Mesozoic and Cenozoic developed in the Dongying depression and the Qingdong depression, so there is abundant hydrocarbon in these two depressions, and then the Guangligang rise-in-sag and the Qingdong rise-in-sag developed in the center in these two depressions are also favorable places for prospecting

Deformation Features

Cores from the middle Eocene sediments of the Dongying Depression of the southern Bohai Bay Basin in east China yield various kinds of sedimentary deformation structures. They include microfolds, load casts, flame structures, ball-and-pillow structures, load-cast ripples, pinch-and-swell structures, boudinage structures, sand dikes, microfaults, and cataclastic breccias. Gravity flows, including turbidites and debris flows, also occur in the study area. The deformation layers can be divided into plastic deformation and brittle deformation types. These develop in a succession composed mainly of dark finely laminated and massive mudstone interbedded with thin sandstones and carbonate rocks that accumulated in a low-energy semi-deep to deep lacustrine environment in a tectonically active setting. Considering the facies attributes in the study area, intrinsically possible trigger mechanisms such as rapid sediment loading and storm currents are absent. Thus, the sedimentary deformation features should be induced by seismic activity, and the same with the gravity flows. These seismites are interpreted to have originated from earthquakes with magnitudes exceeding M 5.6. Basin-controlling faults in the north border of Dongying Depression give rise to the occurrence of seismites. The increasing occurrence frequency of seismites from Es4u to Es3l corresponds with the increase in the activity velocity of the basin-controlling faults. Compared with the seismites developed in other fault depressions in the Bohai Bay Basin, seismites developed in the Dongying Depression are relatively smaller scale and are dominated by microfault layers, relatively more cohesive sediments, and greater distance between seismites and active faults results in the occurrence of these features.

History Of

The Huanghua Depression is located in the north-centre of Bohai Bay Basin, which is a rift basin developed in the Mesozoic over the basement of the Huabei Platform, China. Permo-Carboniferous source rocks were formed in the Huanghua Depression, which has experienced multiple complicated tectonic alterations with inhomogeneous uplift, deformation, buried depth and magma effect. As a result, the hydrocarbon generation evolution of Permo-Carboniferous source rocks was characterized by discontinuity and grading. On the basis of a detailed study on tectonic-burial history, the paper worked on the burial history, heating history and hydrocarbon generation history of Permo-Carboniferous source rocks in the Huanghua Depression combined with apatite fission track testing and fluid inclusion analyses using the EASY% Ro numerical simulation. The results revealed that their maturity evolved in stages with multiple hydrocarbon generations. In this paper, we clarified the tectonic episode, the strength of hydrocarbon generation and the time–spatial distribution of hydrocarbon regeneration. Finally, an important conclusion was made that the hydrocarbon regeneration of Permo-Carboniferous source rocks occurred in the Late Cenozoic and the subordinate depressions were brought forward as advantage zones for the depth exploration of Permo-Carboniferous oil and gas in the middle-northern part of the Huanghua Depression, Bohai Bay Basin, China.

Hydrocarbon Maturation

To the accurate reconstruction of the hydrocarbon generation history in the Dongying Depression, Bohai Bay Basin, East China, core samples of the Eocene Shahejie Formation from 3 shale oil boreholes were analyzed using organic petrology and organic geochemistry methods. The shales are enriched in organic matter with good to excellent hydrocarbon generation potential. The maturity indicated by measured vitrinite reflectance (%Ro) falls in the range of 0.5–0.9% and increases with burial depth in each well. Changes in biomarker and aromatic hydrocarbon isomer distributions and biomarker concentrations are also unequivocally correlated with the thermal maturity of the source rocks. Maturity/depth relationships for hopanes, steranes, and aromatic hydrocarbons, constructed from core data indicate different well locations, have different thermal regimes. A systematic variability of maturity with geographical position along the depression has been illustrated, which is a dependence on the distance to the Tanlu Fault. Higher thermal gradient at the southern side of the Dongying Depression results in the same maturity level at shallower depth compared to the northern side. The significant regional thermal regime change from south to north in the Dongying Depression may exert an important impact on the timing of hydrocarbon maturation and expulsion at different locations. Different exploration strategies should be employed accordingly.
