Recognition of Strong Earthquake Prone Areas in the Altai–Sayan–Baikal Region

The locations of areas prone to strong earthquakes (M ≥ 6.0) in the Altai–Sayan–Baikal region are determined. Based on a scheme of morphostructural zoning of the region and by using the CORA-3 pattern recognition algorithm, all intersections of morphostructural lineaments are separated into two classes: the highly seismic intersections in the vicinities of which strong earthquakes can occur and low seismic in the vicinities of which only earthquakes with M < 6.0 are possible. Recognition was performed for the vectors the components of which were measured values of the geological–geophysical characteristics describing the respective intersection. The result obtained allows the zones of high seismic hazard to be identified more reliably in the region.

     

Effects of mechanical layering on hydraulic fracturing in shale gas reservoirs based on numerical models

Generally, induced hydraulic fractures are generated by fluid overpressure and are used to increase reservoir permeability through forming interconnected fracture systems. However, in heterogeneous and anisotropic rocks, many hydraulic fractures may become arrested or offset at layer contacts under certain conditions and do not form vertically connected fracture networks. Mechanical layering is an important factor causing anisotropy in sedimentary layers. Hence, in this study, with a shale gas reservoir case study in the Longmaxi Formation in the southeastern Chongqing region, Sichuan Basin, we present results from several numerical models to gain quantitative insights into the effects of mechanical layering on hydraulic fracturing. Results showed that the fractured area caused by hydraulic fracturing indicated a linear relationship with the neighboring layer’s Young’s modulus. An increase of the neighboring layer’s Young’s modulus resulted in better hydraulic fracturing effects. In addition, the contact between two neighboring layers is regarded as a zone with thickness and mechanical properties, which also influences the effects of hydraulic fracturing in reservoirs. The initial hydraulic fracture was unable to propagate into neighboring layers under a relatively low contact’s Young’s modulus. When associated local tensile stresses exceeded the rock strength, hydraulic fractures propagated into neighboring layers. Moreover, with the contact’s Young’s modulus becoming higher, the fractured area increased rapidly first, then slowly and finally became stable.     

An experimental investigation into the compaction characteristic of granulated gangue backfilling materials modified with binders

Solid backfill mining has apparent technical advantages in extracting coal resource under sensitive surface structures such as buildings and roads; meanwhile, as an effective method of disposing mining wastes, it works well in solving some environmental problems caused by mining activities. In addition, the controlling effect of solid backfill mining is directly related to the compaction characteristic of backfilling materials. The present study aims to modify the backfilling materials by assessing the effect of binders (cement, fly ash, and lime) on the compaction characteristic of granulated gangue backfilling materials. The compaction test was performed with rock mechanic test system equipped with a self-made circular cylinder apparatus. From the results obtained, cement is not the suitable binder for modifying the gangues backfilling materials, while fly ash or lime, when the dosage is up to 20 wt%, is beneficial to the compaction characteristic of backfilling materials. The relationship between strain behavior and micro-structure of backfilling materials was investigated by SEM and the effect of fly ash or lime on the strain behavior of backfilling materials could be associated with its cementation and gap-filling effect.     

内蒙古狼山巴音前达门地区黑云斜长片麻岩年代学研究及板块归属

内蒙古西部狼山地区的构造归属争议较大,一直以来没有直接证据证明狼山地区属于华北陆块。本文对内蒙古狼山巴音前达门地区(含石榴子石)黑云斜长片麻岩进行了年代学研究,利用LA- ICP- MS方法进行U- Pb同位素测年,所测试锆石均为岩浆锆石,锆石年龄为1946±9 Ma和1940±12 Ma,代表其原岩的形成年龄,说明狼山地区存在古元古代晚期岩浆作用。从锆石Hf同位素来看,εHf(t) 从-1.3~6.4,其Hf同位素源区既有当时华北克拉通基底物质,又有地幔的贡献,2442Ma的模式年龄指示源岩来源于早元古代地壳增生事件,可能与华北克拉通基底的形成有关。这进一步表明狼山地区同华北陆块中部地区一样,该地区存在有早元古代岩体。对宝音图群碎屑锆石的研究同样说明了狼山地区宝音图群与华北克拉通更具亲缘性,狼山地区在构造属性上可能属于华北陆块一部分。     

开鲁盆地陆家堡凹陷绍根地区早白垩世裂陷期后沉积构造演化与铀矿化特征

作为中国北方主要产煤铀盆地之一,松辽盆地西南缘开鲁盆地一直是铀矿找矿工作的重点区域。基于开鲁盆地陆西凹陷绍根地区煤田勘探过程中发现的大量伽马异常信息,对该区展开煤田资料的铀矿二次开发,并钻探发现了铀矿化显示。在此背景下,对绍根地区早白垩世裂陷期晚期至今沉积地层展开地层精细对比划分、沉积环境和构造演化分析、铀成矿类型和赋矿规律探讨。综合分析认为:1）绍根地区自早白垩世阜新期以来发育阜新组、姚家组、嫩江组、四方台组和泰康组,泉头-青山口组、明水组缺失。2）绍根地区阜新期为断陷期末期深湖-湖沼相沉积,发育多层煤;之后受燕山运动影响,阜新期末发生构造反转,泉头-姚家期早期处于构造隆升的欠补偿时期,阜新组顶部遭受剥蚀,泉头-姚家早期未接受沉积;姚家晚期-嫩江期为热沉降坳陷阶段,发育冲积扇相和滨浅湖-半深湖相沉积;四方台期为挤压反转期,地层快速隆升,发育冲洪积扇沉积。3）嫩江组和四方台组为绍根地区主要赋矿层,其中嫩江组发育泥岩型铀矿体,四方台组发育砂岩型铀矿体。4）泥岩型铀矿体顺层呈中心向下凹的薄板状发育,为典型的同生沉积成岩成矿;砂岩型铀矿体呈板状,主要赋存于四方台组底部红褐色与灰绿色交界部位的灰绿色砂砾岩中,其成矿类型可能为潜水氧化型。上述成果认识与钱家店等邻区有较大差异,对绍根地区下一步的铀矿找矿工作具有较好的指导意义。

冀东地区～3.8Ga TTG岩石发现

始太古代及形成时代更古老的岩石十分稀少,任何新的发现都是对最早期陆壳形成演化研究的重要贡献.本文首次报道了华北克拉通冀东地区～3.8 Ga TTG岩石的年龄和地球化学组成.样品J2012为花岗闪长质片麻岩,J2013为侵入花岗闪长质片麻岩的花岗闪长岩脉,也遭受变质变形.两者的岩浆锆石年龄分别为3785±8 Ma和3773±6 Ma.尽管岩石的常量元素组成和形成时代类似,但稀土模式明显不同.样品J2012的TREE(稀土总量)和(La/Yb)n比值分别为139.2×10-6和8.44,组成特征与北美4.03 Ga Acasta片麻岩类似,岩浆作用发生在相对低压的条件下,岩浆作用过程中无石榴子石参与而有斜长石存在.样品J2013的TREE和(La/Yb)n比值分别为163.5×10-6和51.16.轻重稀土强烈分异要求花岗闪长岩形成于石榴子石稳定和斜长石不稳定的高压条件下.研究表明,冀东地区在～3.8 Ga时TTG岩浆作用就显示出多样性,支持了古太古代早期—冥古宙陆壳基底广泛存在的认识.根据始太古代岩石类型和组成特征等综合对比,认为鞍本和冀东是华北克拉通2个不同的古陆核形成演化中心.     

赞比亚铜带省谦比希盆地含矿地层地球化学特征、物源属性及其成矿地质背景研究

中非铜钴成矿带是全球重要的铜资源产地和最大的钴资源产地,其中赞比亚成矿带内90％铜(钴)资源蕴含于赞比亚铜带省的沉积型矿床中.本文选取铜带省中部谦比希盆地内穆旺巴希铜矿、谦比希西铜矿和谦比希东南铜钴矿为研究对象,对矿床(体)赋矿层位开展岩相学、主微量元素、稀土元素研究,分析其物源区组成和构造环境,探讨铜钴成矿地质背景.岩相学特征表明,赋铜(钴)地层岩性主要为敏多拉组砂岩、细砂岩和基特韦组页岩、粉砂岩、板岩、石英岩等.稀土元素标准化配分曲线呈现轻稀土富集、重稀土平坦和铕负异常特征.成分变异指数(ICV)与化学蚀变指数(CIA)的研究表明源区未遭受强的沉积物再循环及化学风化作用,从穆旺巴希矿床、谦比希西矿体到谦比希东南矿体,含矿地层风化作用逐渐减弱,沉积环境由温暖、湿润气候向寒冷、干燥气候转变.岩石地球化学判别图解显示含矿地层物源主要为长英质沉积岩和火成岩,构造性质长期处在以被动大陆边缘为主,主动大陆边缘和大陆岛弧次之的环境中.其中含钴的基特韦组地层的物源中可能伴有少量镁铁质成分的加入,构造背景主要为大陆岛弧环境.综合区域成矿年代学研究,中非成矿带铜钴成矿具有多期性,地层物源属性、沉积成岩期的氧化-还原环境以及区域构造事件最终导致了赞比亚成矿带铜钴成矿的差异性.     

浅水三角洲沉积体系与储层岩石学特征

浅水三角洲已经成为当前沉积学研究和油气勘探的重点领域,浅水三角洲常规和非常规砂岩储层中发现了丰富的油气资源。鄂尔多斯盆地中—古生界发育大型浅水三角洲沉积,结合岩芯、测井、分析化验等资料,对盆地西部地区山1—盒8段浅水三角洲的母岩特征、沉积充填、砂体展布与储层岩石学特征进行研究,为研究区常规砂岩储层和致密砂岩油气勘探提供地质依据。分析表明,研究区南部和北部砂岩重矿物组合相似,以锆石和白钛矿为主。综合La/Yb-REE与Dickinson三角图解、稀土元素配分模式和碎屑锆石定年分析认为,北部物源主要来自盆地西北部阿拉善古陆太古界和元古界花岗岩、片麻岩、石英砂岩,向南影响到陇东地区北部;南部物源主要来自盆地南部北秦岭地区太古界、元古界花岗岩、片麻岩和片岩,向北影响陇东地区中南部。山1段发育曲流河三角洲,盒8段发育辫状河三角洲,孤立型与垂向叠置型水下分支河道砂体是主要的砂体类型。盒8段沉积时期,古湖泊可能萎缩;南北物源形成的三角洲在研究区中部环县东南一带交汇混合。砂岩类型主要为岩屑质石英砂岩、石英砂岩和岩屑砂岩,结构成熟度中等—较差。砂岩成岩改造强烈,水—岩反应复杂,压实作用是储层致密化的主因,多期胶结作用使砂岩的孔喉结构变得十分复杂。孔隙类型以微米—纳米级的岩屑溶蚀孔、剩余粒间孔和高岭石晶间孔为主,整体上属于非常规致密砂岩储层。砂体分布与“甜点”预测是研究区致密油气勘探的关键。
