Hydrocarbon accumulation conditions and exploration potential of the Carboniferous Huanglong Formation in low-relief structural zone on the west side of Huayingshan Fault, Sichuan Basin
For the Carboniferous Huanglong Formation, an important natural gas production layer in Sichuan Basin, in low-relief structural zone on the west side of Huayingshan Fault, there are still problems of unclear accumulation conditions and undetermined favorable exploration zones due to low exploration degree. Based on exploration wells, 2D and 3D seismic data, a new round of evaluation is conducted on the distribution of strata, lithofacies paleogeography, and natural gas accumulation conditions of Huanglong Formation on the west side of Huayingshan Fault. The results show that: (1) The residual strata of Huanglong Formation with thickness mainly between 10-40 m are widely distributed (about 13 100 km2), and about 4 000 km2 according to the new seismic interpretation is added in the northern Sichuan Basin. (2) The intertidal shoal dolomites are widely developed (about 8 200 km2), mainly in the Huanglong Member 2, followed by the Huanglong Member 3. The newly discovered Pingchang-Bazhong shoal belt covers an area of about 2 000 km2. The thickness of dolomite reservoir of the shoal facies in HuangLong Member 2 is mainly 2-20 m. The reservoir has good physical properties, with an average porosity of 3.90%. (3) The source rocks of Wufeng Formation-Longmaxi Formation in the northern Sichuan Basin are widely developed covering an area of about 25 000 km2, and the total thickness is 50-150 m in which the high-quality is 10-60 m. The source rocks of Wufeng Formation-Longmaxi Formation and the reservoirs of Huanglong Formation form favorable reservoir combination of lower generation and upper storage. (4) Controlled by the paleo-uplift slope zone, strata denudation zone, and large fault zone, the Huanglong Formation has developed two large trap groups, i.e., Pingchang-Bazhong, and Guang'an-Quxian, with diverse trap types dominated by lithological-stratigraphic traps and good preservation conditions. Four favorable exploration areas are predicted, indicating a promising prospect for natural gas exploration.

四川盆地东部石炭系经过30多年以构造圈闭为目的的天然气勘探与开发,已经成为了四川盆地重要的产气层系。近来以岩性地层气藏为目标进行了新一轮的地层、沉积微相、储层、烃源岩、构造、成藏与圈闭等方面的研究,结果表明川东石炭系发育构造与岩性地层两类目标。石炭系内幕因粒屑滩微相控制与埋藏白云化不均一影响,储层具有不连续性,存在岩性圈闭;石炭系大范围尖灭与大面积残留,在尖灭带与残留区发育大型地层圈闭。川东石炭系具备岩性地层气藏形成条件,目前发现4个有利区带和12个有利目标,展示其具有较大的勘探潜力。
The Carboniferous reservoir has become the main gas producing formation in Sichuan Basin through more than 30 years of exploration and development. Recently, the new round study on stratigraphy, sedimentary facies, reservoir, source rock, structure, accumulation and trap in the eastern Sichuan Basin indicated that there are two kinds of exploration targets. One is lithologic trap, which is under the control of grain-clastic bank and heterogeneous burial dolomization in inner Carboniferous, and it shows the characteristics of heterogeneous reservoir. The other is large stratigraphic trap, which can be formed in Carboniferous wedge out area. So the Carboniferous reservoir in the Sichuan Basin has the formation condition of lithologic and stratigraphic gas pools,and 4 favorable regions and 12 prospective targets have been found, which reveals the great exploration potential. |

近年来川东石炭系天然气储产量急剧上升的主要原因,就是发现了一批高产地层─构造复合圈闭气藏,如五百梯、龙门场、门西等气藏,但其构式一般较复杂,不易识别和预测,特别是储层尖灭线很难确定.经对历年大量钻探资料的研究后,发现气藏主要分布在石炭系残厚>10m区.以石炭系残厚10m等厚线(据二叠系底界地震反射层的极性、振幅和时差等信息结合地面和井下资料确定)作为储层的尖灭边界,据其展布与石炭系构造和构造等高线相配置的关系,预测出川东石炭系地层-构造复合圈闭有8种类型48个圈闭,已探成功率达65%,还有多半圈闭未探,前景乐观.
The carboniferous gas reserves and production in Eastern Sichuan are abruptly increased in recent years.The important reason is a lot of highly productive gas reservoirs with strutigraphic-structural trap,such as Wubaiti,Longmenchang and Menxi reservoirs,were discovered.The structures of reservoirs are too complicated to be recognized and predicted especially for reservoir pinch-out line.According to the drilling data in past years,the gas reservoirs are mainly distributed in the areas where carboniferous residuum thickness is more than 10m.So the reservoir pinch-out boundary is fixed on the 10m isopach of carboniferous residuum thickness.(Based on drilling data and interpretation of polarity,amplitude and moveout of seismic reflector in Permian bottom.)On the basis of carboniferous structures and their structural contour lines,it is forecasted that there are 48 kinds of carboniferous stratigraphic-structural combination traps which is divided into 8 types in Eastern Sichuan.The success radio of drilling traps is up to 65%.Most traps are not drilled until now.So there is a bright prospect in Eastern Sichuan.

Based on the development characteristics of Carboniferous Huanglong terrigenous clastic deposits and the development locations of gravels with some psephicity, two transgression channels can be deduced to be present on the southeast of Yunyang and the northwest of Dazhou, and two tidal-flat depositional systems form along Chongqing-Wanzhou and to the southeast of Dazhou in the east of Sichuan Basin, where a suit of relatively complete Type -I sequence that is composed of LST (C2hl1), TST (C2hl2) and HST (C2hl3) developed. Different sedimentary microfacies of the Huanglong tidal-flat systems control the vertical distribution characteristics of the reservoirs, in which the grainy shoal facies is of the best reservoir properties. Through the qualitative analysis to the erosion degree of the Huanglong Formation during epidiagenetic karstification stage by using trace elements, carbon and oxygen isotope data, it is suggested that the Huanglong Formation did not suffer intensive weathering and its residual thickness is representative of the primary thickness in character. Hence, the tidal channels can be mapped by the residual thickness of the Huanglong Formation. Depending on the prediction of drilling and seismic data to tidal channels, it is indicated that the features of tidal channels have obvious control of the spacial distribution of high quality reservoirs.

A systematic study on the vertical and horizontal distributions of the thickness and the organic matter abundance for four suites of Paleozoic regional marine source rocks(〗〗3—S1,P1 and P2 ) has been made by geochemical analyses on the source rock samples from 98 outcrop profiles and 23 well profiles in Upper, Middle and Lower Yangtse River regions. It is clarified that in vertical the Lower Cambrian and Upper Permian source rocks are the best, and in horizontal the source rocks in Upper Yangtse River regions are the best and then those in Lower Yangtse River are the secondary, respectively. Five developmental source rocks areas are defined. It has shown that marine source rocks are predominated by mudstones in these areas and carbonate source rock occurs only in the Lower Permian Qixia-Maokou Formations with a measured maximum thickness up to 150m. It is proved that no one suite of carbonate source rock with a thickness over 1000m exists in Southern China. This study has bring forward some new insights into the thickness, developed zones and primary hydrocarbon-generating potential of the four suites of source rock as well as into the identification of carbonate source rocks.
