JI Youliang
2007, 25(1): 1-9.
Abstract:
Based on the identification of continental sequence on seismic section and welllogging curve and the characteristics of rocks′ combination and paleontology, the strata of Eogene in Raoyang Depression are divided into three secondorder sequences and ten thirdorder sequences. Thirdorder sequencesⅠ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ,Ⅳ,Ⅴ,Ⅵ,Ⅶ are rift lacustrine basin sequence, and can be divided into three system tracts, that is low stand system tracts, lacustrine transgressive system tracts and high stand system tracts. Thirdorder sequencesⅧ, Ⅸ, Ⅹare fluvial sequence, which can be divided into base level rising system tract and base level falling system tract. Based on the identification and correlation of sequence stratigraphic units, sequence stratigraphy models are established. A primary research on relationship between sequence stratigraphic model has been done.
Characteristics of Lacustrine Highresolution Sequence Stratigraphy underArid Climate : a case study of Yuyang Formation (Late Cretaceous) in Southwest of Jianghan Basin
CHEN Bo
2007, 25(1): 21-28.
Abstract:
The sequence in Yuyang Formation of lateCretaceous in southwest of Jianghan Basin is controlled by arid climate. Due to the evolution of climate, the flood period and interflood period alternately occur. In shortterm cycle, the sandstone of channel microfacies and sandflat microfacies deposits in flood period and the mudstone of mudflat microfacies deposits in interflood period. In midterm cycle, there appear several assemblages of shortterm sequence cycle. The main flood period usually lasts quite a long time with a large scale, so there deposits a set of thick grey sandstone of channel microfacies and mudstone of distal microfacies with interlayers of laminar red mudstone of mudflat microfacies .Moreover, there is a set of sandflat, mixedflat and mudflat microfacies in the main interflood period. Different from the two cycles above, in longterm cycle, it has a trend that the scales of the channel decrease in main flood period while the thicknesses of red mudflat increase in interflood period. All these characters in mid& longterm sequence cycle suggest the climate has a tendency to become more and more arid. In terms of the characters of sequences and microfacies in arid climate evolution, the authors build up a set of highresolution stratigraphic sequence and make the stratigraphic correlation.

TANG Minan
2007, 25(1): 39-47.
Abstract:
A correlation between sandbodies and analysis of their spatial distribution within an isochronous stratigraphic correlation framework, which is established, based on identification of mediumterm and shortterm saselevel cycles in Lower Shihezi Formation in Daniudi gas field, according to the highresolution sequence stratigraphy concept. Flow units are subdivided into A, B, C and D types in a downgrade order in terms of porosity, permeability and gas saturation parameters, which are obtained from analyzing the datum cycles and hierarchy of the flow units. In addition, types of barriers separating flow units, vertical superimposition and lateral separation patterns of sma
llsized flow units are analyzed and the relationship between the flow units and baselevel cycle is discussed. It is believed that: ①the vertical superimposition and lateral separation of sandbodies and flow units are directly controlled by various grades of baselevel cycles and A/S values; ②The baselevel cycles have directly controls over types, location, scale and lateral connection of vertical superimposition and lateral separation patterns of small –sized flow units; ③In the longterm LSC2 cycle, the types of flow units in a medium-term cycle tend to upgrade with increased accommodations and A/S values; ④In mediumterm and shortterm baselevel cycles, as accommodations and A/S values increase, flow units have deteriorated development and types, with less vertical thickness, shortened lateral extending distance and poor connections.
Genetic Type and Intrafomational Heterogeneity Pattern of Lowporosity and Lowpermeability Sandbodies in Fuxian Exploration Area
CHEN Jingshan
2007, 25(1): 53-58.
Abstract:
On the basis of a careful analysis of sedimentary facies from outcrop sections, cores, test data, drilling and well loggings, delta, lake, and sublacustrine fan facies are mainly developed in the Chang 6 Member, Yangchang Formation, Upper Triassic in Fuxian Exploration Area of Ordos Basin. Ten microfacies types of sandbody have been distinguished in these sedimentary facies, for example distributary channel, rivermouth bar, distal bar, gravityflow channel, and distal turbidite sandbodies. Their reservoirs range from 2.20% to 14.90% in the porosity and vary from 0.01×10-3μm2 to 6.50×10-3μm2  in the permeability. These sandbodies are mostly the reservoir type of low porosity and permeability. They are resulted from postdepositional compaction, cementation and filling. The loss ratio of porosity from the compaction is 18%~19%, and those from cementation and filling is equally about 9%. An average of ultimate porosity is equally about 10% today. Four basic types of intraformational heterogeneity are recognized by the vertical pattern of grain size, porosity, permeability and other reservoir parameters and logging response. These types of intraformational heterogeneity are porosity and permeability pooring upward, porosity and permeability improving upward, compound, and complex types. The former three types of intraformational heterogeneity are determined by sandbody microfacies, depositional hydrodynamics, sediment grainsize, depositional sequence. The complex type of intrafomational heterogeneity is largely related to the diagenetic reworking, including differential cementation and differential buried dissolution.

DUAN Hongliang
2007, 25(1): 65-74.
Abstract:
In the exploration practice, it is found that the inadequate knowledge about the Mesozoic proto-type basin in the western Qaidam basin slowed the oil and gas exploration in this area. Based on analyzing the paleocurrents, combining the Mesozoic outcrops and seismic interpretation data, the Mesozoic prototype of the western Qaidam basin is recovered in this paper. There developed an intermountain depression between the old Alabasitao mountain and the Kunlun mountain, which trending is EW. The evolution of the depression includes two stages: the EarlyMiddle Jurassic and the Late JurassicCretaceous, corresponding developed two prototype basins. The EarlyMiddle Jurassic basin is fault basin type and the Late JurassicCretaceous depression type. During the EarlyMiddle Jurassic, the Altyn Tagh was not uplifted. The deposition was coal bearing formation. The depocenter was in the present Altyn Tagh region. The northwest edge of the depression crossed the Altyn Tagh and conjoined with the Southeast Tarim basin, the northeast edge was ended in the Alabasitao region, and the south was restricted along the HongliuquanMeigouHeishishanYueyashan. During the LateCretaceous, the Altyn Tagh uplifted rapidly and became a province. The deposition was coarse clastic formation. The subsidence and sedimentation area migrated gradually towards inside basin because of the uplift of the Altyn Mountain. The south edge of the depression was along the AlaerHongliuquanHonggouziYue3jing.

WANG Jiao
2007, 25(1): 82-89.
Abstract:
Shallow oscillating lacustrine deposit is a special kind of shallow lake, while the lake topography is smooth, lake surface is wide, and water body is very shallow. Lake plane which mainly influenced by climate rise or fall in vibrating type. Deposit mainly is mostly alternative red mudstone and grey mudstone, indicating oxidizing and reducing environment. Shallow oscillating lacustrine deposit extensively developed in the late period of Guantao Formation (Ng1+2 sand sets) in Gudao Oilfield. Deposit features show that high frequency alternative mostly red and grey mudstone, sedimentary structure generally occur in shallow lakes and creature structure growing, water plane rise to decline depositional cycle obviously. Through taking the observation of core hole, describing and analyzing lab test results, five microfacies(water channel, sand flat, mixed flat, mud flat and marsh) can be distinguished and established the high water period and low flow period sedimentary model of Ng1+2 sand sets in Gudao Oilfield.
Reservoir Diagenesis of the Intermediate Section in Member 3 of Shahejie Formation(Paleogene) in Niuzhuang Subsag, Shandong Province
QI Binwen
2007, 25(1): 99-109.
Abstract:
Reservoir rocks of the intermediate section of Member 3 of Shahejie Formation of Paleogene in Niuzhuang Subsag, Shandong Province, mainly consists of feldspathic litharenite and litharenite arkose with low compositional maturity and textural maturity. Diagenesis of the sandstones includes compaction, cementation, replacement and dissolution. Compaction includes five occurehces, they are brittle cracking of rigid grains, lined and concavoconvex intergranular contacts, apparently directional arrangement of framework grains, compressional deformation of plastic grains or intercalation of rigid grains in deformational grains, pseudomatrixization of compressional deformed ductile detrital grains. Cements are argilla, carbonates, authigenic clay minerals, quartz and feldspars. Replacement includes quartz replaced feldspars, carbonate cements replaced quartz, feldspars and lithic fragments, and carbonates cements replaced each other. Dissolution of grains mainly are quartz, feldspars and lithic fragments, and of cements of carbonate minerals. The research result shows that the diagenesis of reservoir rock is in Asubstage of telodiagenesis. The main factors which affect the diagenesis of the reservoir include rock composition, sedimentary environment and property of pore fluid. The influences of diagenesis on the reservoir physical properties are mainly the change of porosity and permeability. Compaction and cementation of the reservoir rocks makes the primary pores and permeability decreased quickly, which is the main causes of the poor physical properties; but dissolution of the reservoir rocks is the main factor of the development of the secondary pores, which can improve the physical properties of the reservoir sandstones.

LI Yu
2007, 25(1): 124-130.
Abstract:
The extraction methods of Quaternary pollen and spores are the bases and precondition in Quaternary Palynology. Northern China is in particular physical geography environment. In Quaternary there are many different types of sediments in northern China. And at all times extraction methods of Quaternary pollen and spores from different type of sediments are the difficulties and highlights in North China. In this paper we choose 74 sediment samples which are from different types of sediment (Loesspaleosol sequence sediment samples, lake sediment samples, Aeolian sand samples, peat and bog samples, Archaeological samples and surface samples). Through our investigations in the laboratory, we have some conclusion about the extraction methods of Quaternary pollen and spores from different type of sediments. To the Loesspaleosol sequence sediment samples the HF treatment and sievinganalysis methods are effective, to be attention is the HF and HCl treatment are needed to be treated more times, and very time of treatment is need to wash to neutral. To lake sediments the HF treatment method is effective, but in North China there are many lakes in the arid area to these samples from arid lakes after HF treatment we should take another step which is heavy liquid methods. To Aeolian sand samples the HF treatment method and heavy liquid method are also effective. To peat and bog samples the heavy liquid method is effective, but some samples of the peat and bog after heavy liquid method we need use the sievinganalysis method to reduce impurity. To the archaeological samples, the first step is heavy liquid method and after that it is better to use the HF treatment method. To surface samples acidalkalifree analysis is the best choice. In the end we discussed the use of the dispersant and HNO3 and the using sequence of acid and alkali.
DO Events During 76~58 kaB.P. from a Stalagmite in Tian’e Cave, Shennongjia Area
LIU Dianbing
2007, 25(1): 131-138.
Abstract:
An oxygenisotope record of a thoriumuraniumdated stalagmite from Tian’e Cave at Shennongjia reflects variation of the East Asian monsoon during the period from 76 to 58 kaB. P. The highresolution (40yr)δ18O record displays a centennialscale variability of the monsoonal precipitation during MIS4. Comparison between stalagmite SW12, Tian’e Cave, stalagmite MSL, Hulu Cave and NGRIP ice core shows that moisture intensity of Tian'e Cave DO18 event reaches that during MIS3, with an amplitude similar to the counterpart in polar record. The initiation timing of DO18 event, Tian'e Cave is consistent with that in Hulu Cave within the dating error, and further confirmed the age of polar DO18 event. Such a strong peak reveals a period of strengthened summer monsoon under a decrease in global temperature during MIS4. Before 70 kaB.P., DO19 event in ice core is older than the counterpart in Asian monsoon at least by 950 years, which is far beyond 230Th dating error of about 700 years. During 69.3~64.4 kaB.P. (DO19′18), centennial oscillations in ice core are an analogy to those of stalagmite SW12, suggesting an interaction of tropical sea and North Atlantic thermohaline.
Laminar Algal Distribution Characteristics of Lower Cretaceous and the Relation to Oilgas of Jiuquan Basin
MA Liyuan
2007, 25(1): 147-153.
Abstract:
The organic laminae (laminar algal) in the argillaceous limestone and dolomitic mudstone of lower Cretaceous are abundant in Jiuquan basin, but it′s heterogeneity is obvious that mainly shows that the difference of laminar algal contents are very large between the same formation and different areas and same well and different depth. The distribution and yield of laminar algal are all controlled by sedimentary facies and its change. The laminar algal are mainly composite by planktonic algae and it′s pyrolysis products, and most of the algal are the Granoreticella of Chlorophyta . There has a positive correlation between the content of laminar algal and the hydrocarbon generating potentiality of source rock. Most of the found oil in Jiuxi depression is mainly generated from the laminar algal argillaceous limestone of Xiagou Formation of lower Cretaceous, which means that laminar algal is a very important hydrocarbon generating material; it has closed relationship with oilgas in Jiuquan basin. Not only the lacustrine carbonate with abundant organic laminae is good source rock, but also favorable in the fracture initiation and hydrocarbon drainage during the course of hydrocarbon generating and drainage because of the bedded enrichment of hydrocarbon generating materials.

2007, 25(1): 59-64.
Abstract:
Based on the geological history evolution of Bogda, in this paper the process of basin formation, hydrocarbon generation and petroleum accumulation of Bogda region are discussed. According to the obvious multiphases and segmentations in spatial and temporal evolution, it can be divided into 3 phases: ① from late Devonian to early Permian west Bogda was in intracontinental rifting stage while east Bogda was folded into uplift by inversion in late Carboniferous after experiencing the rifting from Devonian to Carboniferous; Be continued on page 98)②from late Permian to Jurassic west Bogda was in postrifting stage, east Bogda showed the rudiment of mountain with further uplifting, southern margin was in weak pressureflexure subsidence stage;③from late Jurassic to Quaternary west Bogda rifting was folded into the mountains by inversion, northern and southern margins were evolved into forelands, east Bogda experienced further uplifting. The evolution of basin formation, hydrocarbon generation and petroleum accumulation of Bogda region suggests: lacustrine source rock developed in west Bogda during postrifting (P2), which experienced deep burial history(TJ), later uplifting from rifting by inversion destroyed former reservoir, farsourced petroleum accumulating is favorable before incipient uplifting; southern margin of east Bogda experienced multiphases' pressureflexural subsidences, multiinterbedded mudstone and coal hydrocarbon of lakeswamp facies developed(P2J2), former Jurrasic rise controls farsourced oil and gas accumulation of upper Permian petroleum system, the faultrelated folds traps by orogeny since late Jurassic control vertical oil and gas accumulation in Jurassic source rock.
Primary Study on the Origin of Lacutrine Dolostones of Permian, Sangtanghu Basin, Xinjiang
LI Hong
2007, 25(1): 75-81.
Abstract:
The origin of dolostones discussed by means of thin sections staining, trace elements analyzing and isotopes testing, which existed together with lucutrine dark mudstone of Lucaogou Formation, middle Permian, Santanghu Basin. The Lucaogou dolostones were composed of lamellar algal dolostone and patchy dolostone. The characteristics of trace elements and stable isotopes indicated that the dolostones formed in the sedimentary environment with higher salinity, higher Ma/Ca ratio and strong reducibility. By analyzing the source of magnesium ion of Lucaogou dolostones, two types of origin were proposed. Lamellar algal dolostone was formed in quasicontemporaneous phase, and patchy dolostone formed with leaching dolomitization of volcanic material in burial diagenetic phase.
Sedimentary Facies of the 8th Member of Lower Shihezi Formation in Su6 Area, Sulige Gas Field
WEN Huaguo
2007, 25(1): 90-98.
Abstract:
Su6 area is the main gasproducing district in Sulige gas field. There is a lot of debate among institutes and scholars on the type and characteristic of sedimentary facies in the 8th member of the Middle Permian Lower Shihezi Formation which is the main gasproducing strata. According to comprehensive studies of well logs, cores and previous study, the authors conclude that the kind of depositional system is river in the 8th member of Lower Shihezi Formation and it could be further classified into two kinds as the braidedriver in the lower part and the meanderingriver in the upper part. Based on the deliberate analysis of microfacies, the authors set up the gentlegradient braided river sedimentary model and the multichannel and lowsinuosity meandering river sedimentary model, and think that the most favorable reservoir is overriding sand bodies of channel bar and point bar and channel bed sand bodies is subfavorable reservoir. The establishment of the sedimentary facies type and sedimentary model gives a good method to favorable facies belts prediction, reservoir evaluation and exploitation in Sulige gas field including the whole Su6 area.
The Discovery of Miocene Aeolian Sediments and Its Paleoenvironmental Significance in East China
ZHANG Zhenke
2007, 25(1): 116-123.
Abstract:
The researches on the paleoclimatology and paleoenvironment recorded by the red clay have made much progress in the region of China's loess plateau during the past decade. The earliest red clay in the western part of the loess plateau is about 22 Ma old. While in the eastern region to Liupanshan Mountain, the bottom part of the red clay sequences is no more than 9 Ma. Red clay was regarded as the result of aeolian sedimentation which is similar to the loesspaleosol sequences. Red clay records have important significance in the studies on Asian environmental evolution in the Era of Cenozoic, especially on the fields of inland desertification and the impacts of the Tibetan Uplifting. But no aeolian sediments older than the early time of Pleistocene has found in East China. 
On the basis of field investigation in the northern suburb of Nanjing, East China, the section of Lingyan Hill was discovered and the loesslike sediment layer was covered by basalt layers with the age of 12.17Ma. Field investigation and sampling was carried out and the whole sedimentary section was about 19 meters high not including the covered basalt layers. Under the basalt layer was the loesslike sediments. A general analysis about the loesslike sediments was carried out on the proxies of grain size, magnetic susceptibility, quartz SEM and geochemical elements. According to the sedimentary characteristics of the sediments and the laboratory analysis results, the 4metre thickness loess like deposits in the section of Lingyan Hill was regarded as the aeolian sediments with the age of more than 12 Ma, which is the earliest aeolian deposits in East China. The deposit is the result of climatic event in the midMiocene, which was corresponding with the 1513Ma rapidly strong deposition of aeolian sediments in the Qin'an section in Loess Plateau and the enlargement of ice sheet in Antarctic after 15Ma. 

Early Forecast and Evaluation Study on Chief Source Rock in Baiyun Depression
MI Lijun
2007, 25(1): 139-146.
Abstract:
Source rock is very important for deepwater. Because there is no well piercing the Eocene strata, regional correlation method is applied to identify the source rock and define its distribution in Baiyun Depression, including the correlation of subsidence rate, sedimentary facies, seismic facies and seismic velocity lithology with the adjacent areas. The condensed section in the Paleogene strata of Baiyun Depression has three features: ① parasequences moved forward the shore; ② the supply of terrigenous detrital material was not enough; ③ semideep lacustrine fine sediment developed well. The seismic reflection characters are well corresponding to the favored source rock. The seismic facies of mediumweak amplitude, mediumlow frequency and mediumhigh continuity of lake progressive system tracts of Enping and Wenchang Formation in Baiyun Depression is the area of favored source rock. A forecast model is built up for the degree of organic maturity of source beds with single well and the mudstone porosity which can be got easily from the seismic information. This model is then applied to evaluate the thermal evolution degree of the source beds in Baiyun depression preliminarily. Based on the research of Baiyun depression, this paper represents a Methodology of evaluation on source rocks of deep water. This methodology includes five aspects: (1) analysis of sequence stratigraphy to determine the main formation of source rocks, (2) analysis of seismic reflectance signature to determine the occurring position of source rocks, (3) prediction of vitrinite reflectance based on mudstone velocity to determine the maturation of source rocks, (4) prediction of types of organic facies based on the conversion from sedimentary facies to organic facies, (5) comprehensive evaluation to select optimum hydrocarbongenerating sag. 
