It was further linked to the eruption of the Wrangellia Large Igneous Province (W-LIP), seawater hypoxia, and significant biotic turnover. While some studies have investigated the CPE in Tibet, the environmental and oceanographic processes leading up to this event have received limited attention. In this study, total organic carbon (TOC), biomarker, inorganic geochemistry, and pyrite framboid petrography of samples collected from the Upper Triassic (Carnian) Bagong Formation in the QZ8 well of the Qiangtang Basin (Tibet) were performed to explore the environmental, paleoceanographic, and organic matter controlling processes preceding the CPE. Results exhibit moderate to high enrichments of trace element redox proxies, such as U, Mo, and V, suggesting that the Bagong Formation was deposited under deoxygenation conditions, from severe anoxia to intermittent euxinia prior to the CPE. The presence of pyrite framboids with small mean diameters and narrow distribution ranges further support this interpretation of deficient redox conditions in bottom and pore waters. Additionally, the moderate to strong positive correlations between enrichment factor values of Mo and V and TOC content indicate that the available organic matter was controlled by oxygen-depleted conditions. Enrichment of Cu, Cd, and Zn, along with their Al-normalized ratios that show strong positive correlations with TOC content, reveal high marine primary productivity before the CPE. Meanwhile, the Si/Al, Ti/Al, and Zr/Al ratios showed cyclic patterns around moderate values, suggesting a modest terrigenous sediment supply, consistent with high Sr/Ba and Sr/Al ratios indicating a predominantly saline environment interspersed with enhanced terrestrial/riverine runoff during deposition. Biomarker analysis reveals a substantial contribution of tricyclic and tetracyclic terpanes, with the C<sub>19</sub>/C<sub>23</sub> TT and C<sub>20</sub>/C<sub>23</sub> TT ratios indicating increased terrestrial organic matter input, supported by the presence of Type III kerogen in the Bagong Formation. Prior to the CPE, the climate was warm and humid, leading to accelerated hydrological cycling and freshwater influx of terrestrial organic matter into the Qiangtang Basin. This likely triggered an increase in nutrient supply under severe deoxygenation conditions and a high sedimentation rate, resulting in enhanced organic matter production and preservation regimes while minimizing the carbonate dilution effect.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18189,"journal":{"name":"Marine and Petroleum Geology","volume":"173 ","pages":"Article 107289"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143148746","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Natural fractures play a critical role in promoting oil enrichment and enhancing production. Clarifying the contribution of fractures to reservoir quality is important but lacks systematic research. Limitations exist in both core outcrop descriptions and seismic predictions of fractures. New technological advancements in well logs offer new avenues for multi-scale fracture characterization. Image logs and array acoustic logs are used to systematically investigate natural fractures in the Member 7 of Upper Triassic Yanchang Formation (Chang 7) shale oil reservoirs in the Ordos Basin. Natural fractures include tectonic fractures and bedding-parallel fractures. An absolute match between core data and image log data is achieved through the precise core homing. The reliability of image logs is enhanced by establishing the fracture identification templates under the core scale. The Vp/Vs ratio, energy attenuation, waveform distortion, and S-wave slowness anisotropy of array acoustic logs are effective for detecting and predicting natural fractures around the borehole. The impact of natural fractures on reservoir quality is evaluated by considering fracture parameters, radial extension and their relationship with in-situ stress. The results show that combining the occurrence and type of fractures detected by image logs and the fracture extension state indicated by fast and slow S-wave radial variations, the effectiveness of fractures around the wellbore can be accurately evaluated. T<sub>1</sub>-T<sub>2</sub> maps from 2D NMR logs also offer insights into the relationship between fractures and reservoir quality.

The basic stratigraphic data came from the Goldwyer Formation within Theia 1 well which was dated using the U-Pb zircon geochronology. Four ash beds, located in the lower part of the formation, yielded distinct radiometric ages at depths of 1550.81 m (466.07 ± 0.12 Ma), 1559.81 m (466.31 ± 0.11 Ma), 1572.55 m (466.84 ± 0.11 Ma), and 1587.10 m (467.12 ± 0.14 Ma) which following the age of conodont biostratigraphy. Based on the astrochronological analysis, duration of the Darriwilian in the Canning Basin is estimated at 9.03 ± 0.3 Myr, providing a precise chronological framework for the studied sedimentary successions. Core sample examinations indicated notable lithological discrepancies with a pronounced increase in terrigenous sedimentation recorded during intervals of elevated obliquity. Quantitative analysis revealed that sedimentation rates reached their zenith in correlation with ∼1.2 Myr obliquity cycles, resulting in substantial accumulations of fine-grained sediments, notably shale and mudstone. Petrographic examination identified a predominance of silt and clay-sized particles during these high influx periods, confirming a direct relationship between obliquity and sediment composition and led to enhanced fossil preservation. ICP-MS analysis of 39 samples indicated variations in elemental abundance that corresponded with the identified obliquity cycles, further supporting the correlation between climate changes and sediment influx. Scatter diagrams illustrated the relationships between various geochemical proxies, revealing trends that align with the sedimentary data. The findings confirm that the Canning Basin experienced significant shifts in sedimentation patterns driven by obliquity-induced climate changes during the Middle Ordovician.

To explain this retrograde lowstand wedge and clarify its formation mechanism during slow sea-level fall, this study simulated the stratigraphic stacking pattern of a prototype sequence in a passive continental margin basin in the north of the South China Sea using a two-dimensional multi-component model. We then simulated the distribution of accommodation during six stages in a 3rd-order cycle and described the structural changes in the stratigraphic units over 100,000 years. The simulation results indicated that based on the average thermal subsidence of the shelf, differential thermal subsidence and compaction subsidence of sediment lead to the generation of more accommodation at the shelf edge during the slow sea-level fall stage. Moreover, this leads to the retention of more accommodation at the top of the forced regressive wedge before the development of the retrograde wedge (in which compaction plays an important role). Influenced by this, the distribution of accommodation and sediment migrates landward, leading to the development of the retrograde lowstand wedge.

To trace the shale zones after fracturing, a newly developed oil-reservoir correlation method employing Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS) was utilised. This method proved effective in distinguishing between the acidic nitrogen-, sulphur-, and oxygen-containing (NSO) compounds identified by the negative mode of electrospray ionisation FT-ICR MS and the less polar NSO compounds and aromatic hydrocarbons detected by positive ion atmospheric pressure photoionisation FT-ICR MS. These compounds facilitated the deconvolution of oils produced from mixed layers in the hypersaline Qianjiang shale play. The zones of oil production identified through this method corresponded well with shale reservoirs previously characterised by anomalously high oil saturation index values (OSI >400 mg/g TOC) and a preferential enrichment of saturated hydrocarbons. A detailed analysis of C<sub>31-35</sub> homohopane distributions in shale extracts and crude oil corroborated these findings. The variability in the producibility of NSO compounds and aromatic hydrocarbons was examined based on functional group, degree of aromatisation, and molecular weight.

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are widely used for identifying pore types in shale, but it is hampered by feature extraction bias, difficult data labeling, and poor generalization ability. Compared to secondary electron (SE) images, mineral distribution maps have low resolutions that pose a significant obstacle to pore type identification. This paper presents a method for identifying and quantifying pore types based on pore-matrix contact relationships. Organic matter, organic pores, and inorganic pores are extracted from SE images using the edge-threshold automatic processing (ETAP) method. Next, the labeled watershed algorithm is used to improve the low-resolution mineral distribution map to the SE image level. The high-resolution mineral distribution map is then combined with pore extraction images, permitting the identification of pore types. Finally, pore size, surface porosity, generalized fractal dimension, and contact angle are calculated for each pore type. We used this new method to identify pores in images of the Longmaxi, Qiongzhusi, and Qingshankou shale. We found that high-resolution mineral distribution maps significantly enhance pore identification accuracy. The Longmaxi Formation clay-rich shale is dominated by organic pores (over 60%), while the Qiongzhusi Formation siliceous shale is characterized by intergranular pores and fractures (fractures contributing 30%). In the Qingshankou Formation clay-rich shale, clay pores (35%) and cracks dominate, whereas the Qingshankou Formation siliceous shale is primarily composed of intergranular pores (17%) and cracks (30%), with distinct pore size distributions across these lithofacies. There is a significant difference in the wettability of the matrix and pores of the Longmaxi shale, primarily due to the dominant influence of organic matter on the pore surfaces.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18189,"journal":{"name":"Marine and Petroleum Geology","volume":"173 ","pages":"Article 107278"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143147827","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
