In light of the recent success in exploiting unconventional petroleum resources, the classic petroleum system concept cannot be used to account for the vast unconventional oil and gas accumulations within the petroleum system. The whole petroleum system model is here adopted to investigate both the conventional and unconventional hydrocarbon resources in the Mahu sag, Junggar Basin, China. The whole petroleum system in the study area developed in Permian strata deposited within a large, alkaline lacustrine basin, comprising conventional and unconventional reservoirs that coexist orderly. The Permian Fengcheng Formation in the Junggar Basin is a unique alkaline lacustrine source rock that ranges from low maturity to high maturity, contains abundant organic matter and volcanic materials, and has a high oil-generating potential. Different types of hydrocarbon reservoirs are distributed from the margin to the center of the sag and vary from conventional fan-delta accumulations in fold-thrust belts (i.e., conventional conglomerate reservoirs) to unconventional tight and shale oil accumulations located within the source rock sequences. The distribution and coexistence of different types of hydrocarbon accumulations in the Mahu sag provide new opportunities for exploration and insights into the development of petroleum systems. This whole petroleum system model that developed in the Junggar Basin has implications for the exploration of both conventional and unconventional hydrocarbons in petroleum basins worldwide, especially in deep strata.","PeriodicalId":7124,"journal":{"name":"AAPG Bulletin","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141508327","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By integrating deep two-dimensional and basinwide three-dimensional seismic reflection data, it is concluded that the Exmouth and Dampier Sub-basins are primarily controlled by crustal-scale faults that separate different crustal entities of the Pilbara craton/Capricorn orogen and the Exmouth Plateau. These faults were first formed during late Paleozoic rifting and were reactivated during Late Triassic to Late Jurassic rifting. The reactivation of these faults was accommodated by monocline deformation in the stratigraphic cover due to the presence of thick (∼7 km), mechanically weak layers of upper Paleozoic and Lower to Middle Triassic units. The monocline is connected by a ramp syncline that constitutes the main part of the depocenters of the Exmouth and Dampier Sub-basins. It was partially breached by the Rankin fault, a northeast-trending, right-stepping fault system, during Callovian–Oxfordian extension and controlled the development of crestal-collapse grabens in the hanging wall. This study reveals crustal-scale, extensional fault-related folds and their complexity in secondary structures in unprecedented detail. It provides a guideline for understanding extensional fault-related folding in three dimensions and deep petroleum system exploration in other extensional basins worldwide.","PeriodicalId":7124,"journal":{"name":"AAPG Bulletin","volume":"90 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141508328","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Further petroleum exploration and development in the Tabei and neighboring areas will greatly benefit from an in-depth understanding of the hydrocarbon charge and accumulation history of these deeply buried carbonate reservoirs. The molecular correlation of reservoir oils indicates that oils from major accumulations in the area share similar geochemical characteristics and were presumably derived from the same source rocks deposited in a marine environment. The Shunbei reservoir oil has the highest thermal maturity, followed by the Yuecan reservoir oil, whereas the Tahe reservoir oil has the lowest thermal maturity. Six generations of calcite cementation spanning over 130 m.y. have been delineated in calcite veins, with U-Pb ages ranging from ca. 446 Ma to ca. 316 Ma. The second and fifth generations of calcite cementation were accompanied by oil charge events, as indicated by the occurrence of bitumen and primary oil inclusions. Fluid inclusion analysis coupled with basin modeling results reveal that the Tabei area experienced two major oil charges, with the first charge occurring during the late Caledonian Orogeny, at 426 to 415 Ma, and the second charge during the middle−late Hercynian Orogeny, at 339 to 278 Ma. The Shunbei and Yuecan reservoirs contain well-preserved oils accumulated during the two charge events, whereas the Tahe reservoir oil has been partially biodegraded.","PeriodicalId":7124,"journal":{"name":"AAPG Bulletin","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141508325","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ultradeep Ordovician fault-karst reservoirs in the Tarim Basin are representative carbonate reservoirs whose formation was controlled by tectonics. An integrated analysis of seismic, drilling, logging, and core data and the petrology and geochemistry of the area suggest that the strike-slip fault, lithology, and diagenetic fluids affected the size and formation of the fault-karst reservoirs. The meteoric water dissolution during episodes I–III in the middle Caledonian Orogeny was critical in the formation of the fault-karst reservoirs. In contrast, organic acid, magmatic-hydrothermal fluid, and Mg-rich high-salinity fluid had a negligible effect on the development of these reservoirs. The impact of meteoric water was likely limited in the strike-slip fault zone due to its short exposure time. The releasing bend, grainstone, and packstone were more conducive than the restraining bend, single fault, wackestone, and mudstone to the development of the fault core and fault damage zone in the strike-slip fault, resulting in meteoric water dissolution. The size of the fault-karst reservoir increased from south to north due to the onlap of Upper Ordovician strata in the north. The formation mechanism and development pattern of fault-karst reservoirs in the study area provide information for the analysis of carbonate reservoirs formed under similar conditions.","PeriodicalId":7124,"journal":{"name":"AAPG Bulletin","volume":"188 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141508326","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, due to deep burial and complex geological conditions, the occurrences and distributions of hydrocarbon are not easily delineated, which seriously hampers the exploration process. Based on comprehensive analyses of the exploration process and hydrocarbon accumulation characteristics in the deep basin of the Jizhong and Huanghua depressions in Bohai Bay Basin, it was found that the hydrocarbon accumulations appear to be distributed in a concentric pattern. The interplay among tectonics, sedimentation, and hydrocarbon generation-migration in the deep basin determines the distribution of hydrocarbon accumulation. The inner tectonic zone formed by the deep trough area is mainly defined by the deposition of (semi) deep lacustrine mudstone, which forms retained shale reservoirs. In the outer tectonic zone, prodelta (fan) and (fan) delta front fine-grained strata deposited within the low-middle slope area and shallow lake and the subsequent deposition of (fan) delta plain sandstone bodies form intercepted stratigraphic and lithologic reservoirs. Conventional and unconventional reservoirs are distributed in a concentric order. The mechanisms and patterns of concentric hydrocarbon accumulation in deep basin settings can provide useful analogs for oil and gas exploration in deep basins with similar structures, particularly for unconventional oil and gas resources.","PeriodicalId":7124,"journal":{"name":"AAPG Bulletin","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141522791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Adequate reservoir characterization is vital for determining the potential for shale oil exploration and development. Fluid–rock interaction and diagenetic mass transfer in organic-rich shales are essential processes during shale oil reservoir formation. Based on detailed petrographic investigation, in situ element and isotope measurement, and organic geochemistry analysis, diagenetic mass transfers and related organic–inorganic interactions were investigated using a suite of organic-rich shales from the Triassic Yanchang Formation of the Ordos Basin. Organic-rich shales consist of silt-sized felsic laminae and organic-rich laminae. Silt-sized felsic laminae are dominated mainly by K-feldspar, whereas illite is the most abundant mineral in organic-rich laminae. Authigenic quartz and euhedral pyrite are the major diagenetic minerals in organic-rich laminae, whereas K-feldspar dissolution occurs extensively in silt-sized felsic laminae. Smectite-to-illite conversion has played a significant role in the diagenetic alteration of organic-rich shales. This reaction not only induced overpressure to generate microfractures for authigenic quartz growth but it also provided the required silica source for authigenic quartz precipitation. Petrographic and geochemical evidence indicates that organic acids generated in organic-rich laminae have migrated to silt-sized felsic laminae, and K+ and aqueous SiO2 yielded from K-feldspar dissolution in silt-sized felsic laminae have been transported to organic-rich laminae. Based on organic–inorganic interactions related to authigenic quartz formation, we conclude that the lamina-scale open diagenetic system allows mass transfer to occur at the microscale within shales. The lamina-scale diagenetic mass transfer and material redistribution may contribute significantly to effective pore space formation in shales.","PeriodicalId":7124,"journal":{"name":"AAPG Bulletin","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141522789","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These shales range in age from Cambrian to Pennsylvanian. The proxies evaluated were for paleoredox (U/Th, U-[Th/3], Ni/Co, V/Cr, V/[V+Ni], Mo concentration, Mo/total organic carbon), basin restriction (Cd/Mo, Co × Mn) and paleosalinity (Sr/Ba). The results of the paleoredox proxies indicate a range of depositional conditions from oxic to dysoxic to anoxic. The findings suggest that the Cambrian Mt. Simon, Eau Claire, and Tunnel City samples in the northern part of the study area were deposited under oxic marine conditions influenced by upwelling. The Ordovician black shales from the Ouachita Mountains and the Pennsylvanian shales from the Cherokee and Forest City Basins were likely formed under anoxic, open marine conditions. The basin restriction and paleoredox proxies suggest decreasing oxygen levels during the deposition of the Ordovician shales, whereas the paleosalinity proxy, the Sr/Ba ratios, during this time suggests decreasing salinity. The Devonian Chattanooga Shale from the Ozark Dome and the New Albany Shale from the Illinois Basin were likely deposited under similar anoxic to dysoxic conditions. Paleoredox proxies suggest that the Mississippian Fayetteville Shale in the Ozark Dome formed under a range of oxic to anoxic conditions. Similarly, the Pennsylvanian Atoka and Jackfork Formations in the Ouachitas were deposited under oxic marine conditions.

The lower Cambrian and lower Silurian mudstone samples from the middle–upper Yangtze platform were analyzed to elucidate silica diagenetic modifications, including their influences on pore evolution. Quartz of the studied mudstone samples includes detrital quartz, overgrowths, siliceous skeletal fragments, microquartz aggregates, silica nanospheres, and matrix-dispersed microquartz. Much of the authigenic silica precipitated in association with diagenetic alteration of the studied deposits appears to have been derived from dissolution of siliceous skeletal fragments and the smectite–illite reaction. A paucity of siliceous organisms populating the early Cambrian ocean gave rise to more complicated silica diagenetic pathways during alteration. Silica precipitation from silica-rich seawater/pore water and silica replacement by carbonate/carbonate-fluorapatite may have supplemented diagenetic modification of lower Cambrian mudstone. The species types of organisms that contributed skeletal grains to the sediments and the amount of precipitated authigenic quartz appear to have impacted organic pore evolution. The abundance of early Cambrian benthic siliceous sponge spicules appears to have muted formation of rigid microquartz aggregates and silica nanospheres that would have shielded organic pores. In contrast, the early Silurian bloom of planktonic radiolarians was associated with accumulation of organic-rich siliceous mudstone and the formation of abundant microquartz aggregates and silica nanospheres that shielded organic pores during burial. In summary, the amount and type of diagenetic quartz influenced pore characteristics of lower Cambrian and lower Silurian shale reservoir rocks of southern China.","PeriodicalId":7124,"journal":{"name":"AAPG Bulletin","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141170783","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the impact of deep inorganic CO2 influx on reservoir quality has received little attention.

The sandstones were broadly subdivided into two zones based on their mineralogical compositions: (1) a normal zone with higher porosity (average 13.7%) and permeability (average 3.27 md) that is located >10 km from the Gudian fault (composed of ferrocalcite, ankerite, quartz, mixed-layer illite/smectite (I/S), kaolinite, illite, and chlorite); and (2) a dawsonite-bearing zone with relatively poor reservoir quality (average 10.1% and 0.4 md) adjacent to the Gudian fault (consisting of dawsonite, ankerite, quartz, I/S, and illite). The carbon sources for dawsonite and ankerite in the dawsonite-bearing zone (δ13C = −5.7‰ to −0.8‰ and δ18O = −20.6‰ to −17.1‰, and Sr = 0.710216–0.712472) are mostly a mix of mantle magmatic CO2 and crustal CO2, with a small amount of organic CO2, which is the opposite of that for the ferrocalcite and ankerite in the normal zone (δ13C = −10.5‰ to −2.3‰, δ18O = −19.3‰ to −14.9‰, and Sr = 0.712060–0.714030). Observations of the dawsonite-bearing zone demonstrate higher contents of carbonate and quartz cements, specific clay mineral types (mixed-layer I/S with Reichweite order of R = 3 and illite), and poor reservoir quality and oil productivity due to the influx of deep inorganic CO2 dating to circa 65–44 Ma.","PeriodicalId":7124,"journal":{"name":"AAPG Bulletin","volume":"54 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141193396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
