To clarify the characteristics and control factors of the deep sandstone reservoir in the study area, a comprehensive investigation of the Xiaganchaigou Formation deep reservoir in the northern Qaidam margin is carried out using the casting thin section, SEM, porosity and permeability measurements, and well logging and mud logging data. The results show that the feldspar lithic sandstone and lithic feldspar sandstone, which are well sorted and medium-rounded and have high compositional and textural maturities, make up the majority of the deep reservoir rock of the Xiaganchaigou Formation in the northern Qaidam margin. Extensive development of primary pores is observed and the porosity and permeability are well correlated with each other, with the average porosity and permeability of 10.7% and 25.74 × 10⁻³ μm², respectively. The pore-throat has excellent connectivity and is medium-fine in texture. The sands of the braided river delta front underwater distributary channel deposition and the sheet sands of the shore-shallow lake deposition are the basis for the formation of high-quality reservoirs. The carbonate cement is subjected to prolonged early shallow burial and late rapid burial during the diagenesis, effectively protecting primary pores. Feldspar particles and early carbonate cement are partially dissolved during the telodiagenesis, improving the physical properties of the reservoir by generating a certain number of inter- and intra-granular dissolved pores. Thick mudstone layers are deposited both above and below the sandstone reservoir. The drainage of pore fluids from the sandstone reservoir is therefore suppressed during the deposition-diagenesis and rapid burial, trapping the fluids in the pore space to bear part of the overburden pressure. This reduces the effects of normal compaction on the reservoir rock and helps in the preservation of primary pores to a large extent. The abnormal pressure zone in the Palaeogene Xiaganchaigou Formation, which develops the under-compacted mudstone of the braided river delta deposition, is found in the central part of the northern Qaidam margin and is afavorable play for natural gas exploration and development.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100808,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Natural Gas Geoscience","volume":"7 4","pages":"Pages 225-235"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2468256X2200044X/pdfft?md5=7812710ad6bab967712afe277444bd51&pid=1-s2.0-S2468256X2200044X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91542210","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a crucial oil and gas exploration basin in China, the Bohai Bay Basin has discovered tight sandstone (gravel) gas in every depression. However, the distribution, origin, and accumulation model of tight sandstone (gravel) gas reservoirs were not systematically studied by previous researchers, who instead mainly concentrated on depressions from the basin-wide perspective. The research conclusively demonstrates that ultra-low permeability–tight sandstone (gravel) gas reservoirs are widely distributed in the Bohai Bay Basin, covering various depressions and multiple strata of Paleozoic, Cenozoic, and Upper Paleozoic coal-formed gas as well as Paleogene oil-type gas. The Upper Paleozoic ultra-low permeability–tight sandstone gas reservoirs are mainly distributed in residual Upper Paleozoic strata of the Huanghua, Linqing, and Jiyang depressions. Most of those reservoirs, which are located in uplifted sag zones, are structural gas reservoirs, and because the strata were buried deeply in the past, most of the reservoirs have worse physical properties. This natural gas is typical coal-formed gas originating in Carboniferous and Permian, and others are Paleogene oil-type gas. Paleogene ultra-low permeability–tight gas reservoirs are widely distributed in all depressions, including the multiple strata in the Kongdian Formation and the second, third. and fourth members of the Shahejie Formation (E<em>s</em>₂, E<em>s</em>_3, and E<em>s</em>₄); The gas reservoirs are located in the uplift, slope, and steep slope zones of the sags, including a variety of trap types, such as lithology, lithology-structure, structure reservoirs, and others. Sandstone reservoirs often found in the E<em>s</em>₂ and E<em>s</em>₃ are distributed in gentle slopes, whereas sandstone and glutenite reservoirs can be found in the E<em>s</em>₄ and Kongdian Formation (E<em>k</em>), with the glutenites mainly distributed in steep slope area. Since the Paleogene is a continuous deposit, burial depth appears to be a controlling factor in the reservoirs physical properties. Densification threshold depths for distinct depressions range from 3200 m to 4000 m. The majority of the natural gas is gas formed from Paleogene oil-type, while some of it is gas formed from Upper Paleozoic coal. Four different hydrocarbon accumulation models have been developed in this area in accordance with the relationship between gas sources and reservoirs. These models include migration along fault with old source rock and new reservoir, near-source accumulation with new source rock and new reservoir, distant-source accumulation with old source rock and old reservoir, and migration along fault with new source rock and old reservoir, of which the first two are the main hydrocarbon accumulation ","PeriodicalId":100808,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Natural Gas Geoscience","volume":"7 4","pages":"Pages 211-223"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2468256X22000414/pdfft?md5=ad84b91ced813a40b3110a0ac50bbca6&pid=1-s2.0-S2468256X22000414-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84175911","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper focuses on the Lower Cambrian and Lower Silurian shales in the Sichuan Basin and its periphery. Based on the detailed anatomy of key carbonization zones, predictions of shale organic matter carbonization zones and regional mapping of thermal maturity are carried out to explore and reveal the distribution and main controlling factors of the carbonization zones of organic matter in the two sets of shales. Four preliminary conclusions were obtained: (1) There are four organic matter carbonization zones in the Lower Silurian shale distribution area, namely eastern Sichuan-western Hubei, northwestern Hubei, west of southern Sichuan, and Renhuai-southwestern Chongqing, covering an area of nearly 40 × 10³ km². The main part of the western carbonization zone in the southern Sichuan is located in the Emei basalt distribution area. (2) The organic matter carbonization zone accounts for more than 80% of the Lower Cambrian shale distribution area, The non-carbonization zone is only distributed in Weiyuan-Ziyang, Moxi-Gaoshiti, Changyang, and Weng'an-Zhenyuan with an area of about 62.6 × 10³ km². (3) The Lower Silurian and Lower Cambrian shales in the west of southern Sichuan experienced an increase in thermal maturity <em>R</em>_O values of 0.2%–0.4% and 0.2%–1.0%, respectively, as a result of the Emei large igneous province, an extreme heat event in the Late Permian. The Lower Cambrian and Lower Silurian shales have the highest degree of carbonization of organic matter in Mabian-Ebian, which is also in the high-value area of the Emei basalt thickness. (4) The main controlling factors of organic matter carbonization of the Lower Cambrian and Lower Silurian shales have similarities and differences. The main controlling factor of the former is the long-term deep burial background, and the extreme thermal event in the Late Permian only exacerbated the degree of carbonization in some areas more seriously. The latter's main controlling factors are relatively complex and are controlled by deep burial background in the three regions of Renhuai-southwestern Chongqing, eastern Sichuan-western Hubei, and northwestern Hubei. It was governed by a deep burial background and a high geotemperature in the Late Permian.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100808,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Natural Gas Geoscience","volume":"7 4","pages":"Pages 181-197"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2468256X22000426/pdfft?md5=290949ea936a9f954f61c16448a8895a&pid=1-s2.0-S2468256X22000426-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77146639","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study of its genesis is important for us to predict the distribution of H₂S in Mesozoic in the basin. The Chang7 source rock of the Yanchang Formation (T₃<em>y</em>) is the principal source of crude oil in the Jurassic Yan'an Formation area. However, H₂S is not detected in the crude oil-associated gas of Chang10 to Chang3 members of the Yanchang Formation. As a result, the formation of H₂S in the crude oil-associated gas of Yan'an Formation may be related to reservoir and accumulation factors. The study shows that Jurassic formation water has a high salinity and is rich in divalent sulfur, which inhibits the development of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB). It is less likely to biologically reduce sulfate to produce H₂S. The δ³⁴S values of H₂S in crude oil-associated gas of Yan'an Formation are greater than 25‰, which are obviously different from those of volcanic hydrothermal fluid, organic matter, and microbial reduction products, but similar to divalent sulfur isotope values in formation water and about 10‰ negative to sulfate ion in formation water. TSR has generated sulfur isotope distribution and fractionation characteristics in H₂S. The temperature measurement of reservoir inclusions in the Jurassic Yan'an Formation shows that the initial filling temperature of oil and gas is higher than 100 °C, and the maximum accumulation forming temperature is 150 °C. The formation water of Yan'an Formation contains a large number of sulfate ions from anhydrite or buried stage. Those rich sulfate ions meet the conditions for a sulfate thermochemical reduction reaction. At the same time, the rich magnesium ions in formation water catalyzed the reaction.
