Shahejie Formation

Guided by the theory of petroleum system, we analyzed hydrocarbon accumulation elements and conditions of the Shahejie Formation in Tangzhuang area and concluded the hydrocarbon accumulation model based on the geological and geophysical data. Hydrocarbon comes from the source rock of Es3 in Linyi sub-sag located to the southeast of Tangzhuang area. Reservoir mainly is clastic, followed by carbonate. There are 4 source-reservoir-cap assemblages in the Shahejie Formation. The Es3 source rock of different tectonic units in Linnan sub-sag has experienced different hydrocarbon generation stages. The central region experienced two hydrocarbon generation stages while the edge only experienced one stage. The hydrocarbon generated by the source rock of Es3 in Linnan sub-sag mainly migrated to Tangzhuang area along fault and sand body. The structural trap is the dominant type followed by structure-lithologic trap and lithologic trap. Based on the analysis of hydrocarbon accumulation condition, we concluded the lower generating and upper reserving model of the study area. The findings will play an important role in guiding Tangzhuang oil and gas exploration.

The hydrocarbon reservoirs which have been found in SZ36-1 region are located in Liaoxi low uplift and dominated by structural traps. The principle source rock is the first and the third member of the Neogen Shahejie Formation and the main reservoir type is delta sand body which mainly located in the second member of Shahejie Formation. Oil reservoirs are mostly in normal pressure and are possess characteristic of late hydrocarbon accumulation. Hydrocarbon accumulation is mainly controlled by fault,reservoir-cap rock combination, and petroleum migration pathways. Lateral distribution of hydrocarbon reservoirs is mostly controlled by reservoir rocks, while the vertical distribution is controlled by fault.

The energy situation of China has been very tough. Our country’s oil is heavily dependent on imports and lack of oil and gas reserve. The shortage of oil and gas resource has become an important factor which restricts our national economy health and sustainable development. Guided by the theory of petroleum system, we analyzed the Mesozoic-Palaeozoic marine strata hydrocarbon accumulation elements and conditions of the sourthern depression in Southern Yellow Sea Basin and concluded the hydrocarbon accumulation pattern in order to find the reserving oil and gas. There are seven source-reservoir-cap assemblages. Different tectonic units experienced different tectonic evolution history. The source rock of Lower Palaeozoic, Upper Palaeozoic and Lower Triassic have experienced four, three and two hydrocarbon generation stages separately in the depression. But the source rock of Lower Palaeozoic and Upper Palaeozoic in the salient have only experienced two and one hydrocarbon generation stages separately. Hydrocarbon generated by Mesozoic-Palaeozoic source rock migrated to the traps by fault, crack and unconformity. Lithologic trap, broad anticlinal trap and fault-lithologic trap are the main types in the study area. By the analysis of Mesozoic-Palaeozoic marine hydrocarbon accumulation in the sourthern depresssion, we concluded two accumulation patterns which are the original lithologic reservoir in the Mesozoic-Palaeozoic marine strata and fault-lithologic reservoir in the Mesozoic-Cenozoic terrestrial strata. These results will help to predict the oil and gas resources.

Accumulation Model

There are great oil and gas exploration prospect in south of Daqing Placanticline, with unclear understanding of source rock and accumulation model, the progress of oil exploration is restricted. To definite the source of oil and gas, according to chromatography data and analysis data, combined with potential of hydrocarbon generation and expulsion, oil-gas migration pathway, the hydrocarbon migration and accumulation model is proposed. It can be concluded that the oil from Putaohua reservoir in the south of Daqing Placanticline area mainly come from K2qn1 source rock locally, while the hydrocarbon sources of K2qn1 in the east and west of the depression makes small contribution to the research area. Migrate in source area is the main hydrocarbon migration and accumulation mode. Re-define the oil source of Putaohua reservoir can help enhance the cognition of the hydrocarbon accumulation condition and accumulation model, in order to direct the research for the accumulation and distribution principle of oil and gas exploration and favorable area prediction in the future.

The Rock–Eval pyrolysis and LECO analysis for 9 shale and 12 coal samples, as well as, geostatistical analysis have been used to investigate source rock characteristics, correlation between the assessed parameters (QI, BI, S1, S2, S3, HI, S1 + S2, OI, PI, TOC) and the impact of changes in the Tmax on the assessed parameters in the Cretaceous Sokoto, Anambra Basins and Middle Benue Trough of northwestern, southeastern and northcentral Nigeria respectively. The geochemical results point that about 97% of the samples have TOC values greater than the minimum limit value (0.5 wt %) required to induce hydrocarbon generation from source rocks. Meanwhile, the Dukamaje and Taloka shales and Lafia/Obi coal are found to be fair to good source rock for oil generation with slightly higher thermal maturation. The source rocks are generally immature through sub-mature to marginal mature with respect to the oil and gas window, while the potential source rocks from the Anambra Basin are generally sub-mature grading to mature within the oil window. The analyzed data were approached statistically to find some relations such as factors, and clusters concerning the examination of the source rocks. These factors were categorized into type of organic matter and organic richness, thermal maturity and hydrocarbon potency. In addendum, cluster analysis separated the source rocks in the study area into two groups. The source rocks characterized by HI >240 (mg/g), TOC from 58.89 to 66.43 wt %, S1 from 2.01 to 2.54 (mg/g) and S2 from 148.94 to 162.52 (mg/g) indicating good to excellent source rocks with kerogen of type II and type III and are capable of generating oil and gas. Followed by the Source rocks characterized by HI <240 (mg/g), TOC from 0.94 to 36.12 wt%, S1 from 0.14 to 0.72 (mg/g) and S2 from 0.14 to 20.38 (mg/g) indicating poor to good source rocks with kerogen of type III and are capable of generating gas. Howeverr, Pearson’s correlation coefficient and linear regression analysis shows a significant positive correlation between TOC and S1, S2 and HI and no correlation between TOC and Tmax, highly negative correlation between TOC and OI and no correlation between Tmax and HI.

The Bohai Bay region is a primary accumulation area of oil and gas in offshore China, in which overpressure commonly occurs in the Paleogene strata; the analysis on distribution characteristics and genetic mechanisms of the overpressure would provide geologic evidences for making plans of well drilling and logging as well as oil and gas exploitation; additionally, it could lay the geological foundation for studying how overpressure controlled hydrocarbon accumulation. Based on research, the overpressure of the study area starts from the second member of the Dongying Formation and ends in the third member of the Shahejie Formation. The distribution of overpressure is mainly controlled by the sag–salient tectonic framework within the basin, which means overpressure mainly develops in sags or slopes; however, high areas stay normal pressured. In the study area, pressure develops around Bozhong Sag and in northern Liaodong Bay reaches the peak. The genetic mechanisms of overpressures in the Paleogene reservoirs are mainly disequilibrium compaction, hydrocarbon generation of the organic matter, fluid charging, and transmission or the superimposition of the former two. Different strata have different genetic mechanisms of overpressure. The chief genetic mechanisms for the generation of overpressure of the Dongying Formation are disequilibrium compaction while the genesis of the formation of overpressure in the Shahejie Formation is more complicated in some extent. The first member of the Shahejie Formation dominated by disequilibrium compaction and hydrocarbon generation of the organic matter plays a supplemental role, while the second member of the Shahejie Formation, as the primary reservoir strata, is dominated by fluid charging and transmission, and the third member of the Shahejie Formation is the main source rock interval; its overpressure is closely related to hydrocarbon generation. Each contribution ratio for overpressure forming by different genetic mechanisms has been judged and figured out quantitatively according to geological, geophysical, and geochemical characteristics of the target strata.

Seismic processing and interpretation techniques provide important tools for the oil and gas exploration of the Songliao Basin in eastern China, which is dominated by terrestrial facies. In the Songliao Basin, a large number of thin-sand reservoirs are widely distributed, which are the primary targets of potential oil and gas exploration and exploitation. An important job of the exploration in the Songliao Basin is to accurately describe the distribution of these thin-sand belts and the sand-body shapes. However, the thickness of these thin-sand reservoirs are generally below the resolution of the conventional seismic processing. Most of the reservoirs are thin-interbeds of sand and mudstones with strong vertical and lateral variations. This makes it difficult to accurately predict the vertical and horizontal distribution of the thin-sand bodies using the conventional seismic processing and interpretation methods. Additionally, these lithologic traps are difficult to identify due to the complex controlling factor and distribution characteristics, and strong concealment. These challenges motivate us to improve the seismic data quality to help delineate the thin-sand reservoirs. In this paper, we use the broadband, wide-azimuth, and high-density integrated seismic exploration technique to help delineate the thin-reservoirs. We first use field single-point excitation and single-point receiver acquisition to obtain seismic data with wide frequency-bands, wide-azimuth angles, and high folds, which contain rich geological information. Next, we perform the near-surface Q-compensation, viscoelastic prestack time migration, seismic attributes, and seismic waveform indication inversion on the new acquired seismic data. The 3D case study indicates the benefits of improving the imaging of thin-sand body and the accuracy of inversion and reservoir characterization using the method in this paper.

Petroleum Accumulation

Rift basin is an important petroleum basin type, in which about one third of oil and gas was discovered. To research on the main controlled elements of oil and gas accumulation, five typical rift basins in Europe are focused on the geological condition such as source rock, reservoir, seal, petroleum system, and accumulation with logging, hole, measured and analytical methods, and so on. The results showed the main regional seal controlled the petroleum distribution in the rift basin. Seals are defined by main regional seal, minor regional seas and local region according to thickness, distribution, lithostratigraphy. Viking Graben of North Sea has main regional seal about 3000m thick during late Jurassic and Cretaceous, about 81 percent of petroleum is in the Jurassic reservoir; Anglo-Dutch basin has main region thick seal during Triassic through Jurassic, and Permian reservoir accounted for 73 percent of basin reserves; Voring Basin has the main regional seal during Cretaceous through early Tertiary, the Jurassic reservoir has 85 percent of whole basin reserves; Northeast and Northwest Germany Basins have the evaporites as main regional seals during late Permian, and Permian reservoir accounted for more than 80 percent of basin reservoir, respectively. Rift Basin can develop reservoir like turbidite, source rock, seal in the basin dynamic opinion. Some main regional seals may develop overpressre because of quick subside and hydrocarbon generation at some conditions, it can strengthen seal capability. Oil and gas can migration to the main regional seal by normal faults caused by rifting, which can stop further migration so that they were accumulated under the main regional seal.

The Lishui Sag is located in the southeastern part of the Taibei Depression, in the East China Sea basin, where the sag is the major hydrocarbon accumulation zone. A three dimensional modelling approach was used to estimate the mass of petroleum generation and accumulated during the evolution of the basin. Calibration of the model, based on measured maturity (vitrinite reflectance) and borehole temperatures, took into consideration two main periods of erosion events: a late Cretaceous to early Paleocene event, and an Oligocene erosion event. The maturation histories of the main source rock formations were reconstructed and show that the peak maturities have been reached in the west central part of the basin. Our study included source rock analysis, measurement of fluid inclusion homogenization temperatures, and basin history modelling to define the source rock properties, the thermal evolution and hydrocarbon generation history, and possible hydrocarbon accumulation processes in the Lishui Sag. The study found that the main hydrocarbon source for the Lishui Sag are argillaceous source rocks in the Yueguifeng Formation. The hydrocarbon generation period lasted from 58 Ma to 32 Ma. The first period of hydrocarbon accumulation lasted from 51.8 Ma to 32 Ma, and the second period lasted from 23 Ma to the present. The accumulation zones mainly located in the structural high and lithologic-fault screened reservoir filling with the hydrocarbon migrated from the deep sag in the south west direction.

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.

The World

The Proterozoic–Lower Paleozoic marine facies successions are developed in more than 20 basins with low exploration degree in the world. Some large-scale carbonate oil and gas fields have been found in the oldest succession in the Tarim Basin, Ordos Basin, Sichuan Basin, Permian Basin, Williston Basin, Michigan Basin, East Siberia Basin, and the Oman Basin. In order to reveal the hydrocarbon enrichment roles in the oldest succession, basin formation and evolution, hydrocarbon accumulation elements, and processes in the eight major basins are studied comparatively. The Williston Basin and Michigan Basin remained as stable cratonic basins after formation in the early Paleozoic, while the others developed into superimposed basins undergone multistage tectonic movements. The eight basins were mainly carbonate deposits in the Proterozoic–early Paleozoic having different sizes, frequent uplift, and subsidence leading to several regional unconformities. The main source rock is shale with total organic carbon content of generally greater than 1% and type I/II organic matters. Various types of reservoirs, such as karst reservoir, dolomite reservoir, reef-beach body reservoirs are developed. The reservoir spaces are mainly intergranular pore, intercrystalline pore, dissolved pore, and fracture. The reservoirs are highly heterogeneous with physical property changing greatly and consist mainly of gypsum-salt and shale cap rocks. The trap types can be divided into structural, stratigraphic, lithological, and complex types. The oil and gas reservoir types are classified according to trap types where the structural reservoirs are mostly developed. Many sets of source rocks are developed in these basins and experienced multistage hydrocarbon generation and expulsion processes. In different basins, the hydrocarbon accumulation processes are different and can be classified into two types, one is the process through multistage hydrocarbon accumulation with multistage adjustment and the other is the process through early hydrocarbon accumulation and late preservation.
