The Nanpu 5th construct is in the western part of Huanghua Depression Nanpu Sag of Bohai Bay Basin, was a complicated anticline belt that develops between Jian Dong fault and the downthrown side of the southwestern Zhuang fault and the favorable exploration area is 120km2. On the basis of the region's large number of multi-channel seismic data analysis and interpretation, the trap types, structural characteristics and distribution of local structures between the layers of the region are researched. Interlayer local structures in the area are mainly divided into nose structure and small anticline. The fault zone is a structural high in the region, to promote oil and gas to migrate and accumulate to the low-potential zones that become favorable zones for hydrocarbon accumulation, but the real decisive construct parts of the hydrocarbon accumulation is positive local structure in favorable zones which point out the region for hydrocarbon accumulation.

South Sumatra is considered a mature exploration area, with over 2500MMbbls of oil and 9.5TCF of gas produced. However a recent large gas discovery in the Kali Berau Dalam-2 well in this basin, highlights that significant new reserve additions can still be made in these areas by the re-evaluation of the regional petroleum systems, both by identification of new plays or extension of plays to unexplored areas. In many mature areas the exploration and concession award history often results in successively more focused exploration programmes in smaller areas. This can lead to an increased emphasis on reservoir and trap delineation without further evaluation of the regional petroleum systems and, in particular, the hydrocarbon charge component. The Tungkal PSC area is a good example of an area that has undergone a long exploration history involving numerous operators with successive focus on block scale petroleum geology at the expense of the more regional controls on hydrocarbon prospectivity. An improved understanding of hydrocarbon accumulation in the Tungkal PSC required both using regional petroleum systems analysis and hydrocarbon charge modelling. While the Tungkal PSC operators had acquired high quality seismic data and drilled a number of wells, these were mainly focused on improving production from the existing field (Mengoepeh). More recent exploration-driven work highlighted the need for a new look at the hydrocarbon charge history but it was clear that little work had been done in the past few year to better understand exploration risk. This paper summarises the methodology employed and the results obtained, from a study, carried out in 2014-15, to better understand hydrocarbon accumulation within the current Tungkal PSC area. It has involved integration of available well and seismic data from the current and historical PSC area with published regional paleogeographic models, regional surface geology and structure maps, together with a regional oil generation model. This approach has allowed a better understanding of the genesis of the discovered hydrocarbons and identification of areas for future exploration interest.

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.

Response Correction

Amplitude-variation-with-offset (AVO) technique is one of the primary quantitative hydrocarbon discrimination methods with prestack seismic data. However, the prestack seismic data are usually have low data quality, such as nonflat gathers and nonpreserved amplitude due to absorption, attenuation, and/or many other reasons, which usually lead to a wrong AVO response. The Neogene formations in the Huanghekou area of the Bohai Bay Basin are unconsolidated clastics with a high average porosity, and we find that the attenuation on seismic signal is very strong, which causes an inconsistency of AVO responses between seismic gathers and its corresponding synthetics. Our research results indicate that the synthetic AVO response can match the field seismic gathers in the low-frequency end, but not in the high-frequency components. Thus, we have developed an AVO response correction method based on high-resolution complex spectral decomposition and low-frequency constraint. This method can help to achieve a correct high-resolution AVO response. Its application in Bohai oil fields reveals that it is an efficient way to identify hydrocarbons in rocks, which provides an important technique for support in oil and gas exploration and production in this area.

AbstractNatural gas and condensate derived from Carboniferous-Permian (C-P) coaly source rocks discovered in the Dagang Oilfield in the Bohai Bay Basin (east China) have important implications for the potential exploration of C-P coaly source rocks. This study analyzed the secondary, tertiary, and dynamic characteristics of hydrocarbon generation in order to predict the hydrocarbon potentials of different exploration areas in the Dagang Oilfield. The results indicated that C-P oil and gas were generated from coaly source rocks by secondary or tertiary hydrocarbon generation and characterized by notably different hydrocarbon products and generation dynamics. Secondary hydrocarbon generation was completed when the maturity reached vitrinite reflectance (Ro) of 0.7%–0.9% before uplift prior to the Eocene. Tertiary hydrocarbon generation from the source rocks was limited in deep buried sags in the Oligocene, where the products consisted of light oil and gas. The activation energies for secondary and tertiary hydrocarbon generation were 260–280 kJ/mol and 300–330 kJ/mol, respectively, indicating that each instance of hydrocarbon generation required higher temperature or deeper burial than the previous instance. Locations with secondary or tertiary hydrocarbon generation from C-P coaly source rocks were interpreted as potential oil and gas exploration regions.

Kongdian is located in the eastern part of Bohai Bay. This region has good prospects for oil and gas exploration, but the seismic geologic condition is very complex. After several stages of exploration, a number of significant exploration results have been achieved, but the gradually exposed problems restricted the exploration to go further. In a new round of exploration, the high and low frequency energy compensation technology, advantaged band deconvolution processing technology, dividing frequency high-precision residual static corrections, high-resolution well control-target wavelet deconvolution technology, common scattering point imaging technology and prestack time migration processing technology have been used to improve exploration accuracy. Five potential areas were found in this region according to the new processed seismic data and subsequent interpretation work, achieving the pleasant situation of initial success following the exploration in that year.

The Nanpu Sag, located in the north part of Huanghua Depression of Bohai Bay Basin, is a Cenozoic petroliferous extensional sag, the shallow oil reservoirs have great exploration potential. Former exploration suggested that there is complex relationship between Late cenozoic faults and hydrocarbon accumulation, but there is no detailed discussion. Based on the structural interpretation of 3D seismic data, the Late Cenozoic fault characters including typical fault configuration in profile and fault arrays in plane are analyzed, furthermore, the formation mechanism of the faults is discussed. It is concluded that late Cenozoic faults were formed by extension other than strike-slip movement, which was controlled by the mechanism of pure shear in the lower crust during the period. In addition, the relationship between Late Cenozoic faults and shallow hydrocarbon accumulation is discussed, it indicates that the faults controlled the formation of shallow closures and constituted the effective hydrocarbon pathways connecting deep source rock and shallow traps.
