Abstract

The modern karst systems of Guizhou Province in southern China are examined as the key analogues for fault-controlled paleokarst reservoirs of the Shunbei oil field in the Tarim Basin in northwestern China. The size, distribution, and geometry of karst features are quantitatively described on millimeter-to-kilometer scales, and then we discuss their relationships to the faults, fractures, and bedding surfaces. A three-stage evolutionary model of the modern Guizhou karst is proposed, illustrating how faults and fractures control the flow pathways of drainage and the extent and processes of karstification. Middle Ordovician karstification in Shunbei was controlled by strike-slip faults and followed a similar pattern with Guizhou modern karst. Surface drainage flowed mostly along the gently sloping stratigraphic boundary between the Middle Ordovician and the Upper Ordovician (T74) stratigraphic surface and then downward along steep strike-slip faults. The consistency between the No. 1 fault strike and the southwest-oriented slope resulted in the formation of large-scale underground interconnected paleokarst cave systems at depths of 60 to 107 m. However, No. 5 and No. 7 faults formed fault-controlled paleokarst cavity along deep faults at depths of 0 to 450 m, displaying heterogeneous vertical distribution and poor connectivity in plane. These findings can aid in the design of well trajectories and thus improve exploration and development efficiency in Shunbei and similar fault-controlled paleokarst-dominated carbonate reservoirs.
贵州现代岩溶作为中国塔里木盆地顺北油田古岩溶储层的模拟对象
我们将中国南方贵州省的现代岩溶系统作为中国西北部塔里木盆地顺北油田受断层控制的古岩溶储层的主要模拟对象进行了研究。我们以毫米到公里的尺度定量描述了岩溶特征的大小、分布和几何形状,然后讨论了它们与断层、裂缝和层理面的关系。我们提出了现代贵州岩溶的三阶段演化模型,说明了断层和断裂如何控制排水的流动路径以及岩溶化的范围和过程。顺北中奥陶统岩溶化受走向滑动断层控制,与贵州现代岩溶的模式相似。地表排水主要沿中奥陶统与上奥陶统(T74)地层面之间的缓坡地层边界流淌,然后沿陡峭的走向滑动断层向下流淌。1号断层走向与西南向斜坡的一致性,形成了深度为60至107米的大尺度地下互联古岩溶洞穴系统。然而,5号和7号断层则沿深度为0至450米的深层断层形成了断层控制的古岩溶洞穴,表现出垂直分布不均和平面连通性差的特点。这些发现有助于设计油井轨迹,从而提高顺北及类似以断层控制的古岩溶为主的碳酸盐岩储层的勘探和开发效率。

期刊介绍: While the 21st-century AAPG Bulletin has undergone some changes since 1917, enlarging to 8 ½ x 11” size to incorporate more material and being published digitally as well as in print, it continues to adhere to the primary purpose of the organization, which is to advance the science of geology especially as it relates to petroleum, natural gas, other subsurface fluids, and mineral resources. Delivered digitally or in print monthly to each AAPG Member as a part of membership dues, the AAPG Bulletin is one of the most respected, peer-reviewed technical journals in existence, with recent issues containing papers focused on such topics as the Middle East, channel detection, China, permeability, subseismic fault prediction, the U.S., and Africa.
