Dawsonite fixation of mantle CO2 in the cretaceous Songliao Basin,Northeast China: a natural analogue for CO2 mineral trapping in oilfields

Abundant crude oil and CO₂ gas coexist in the fourth member of the Upper Cretaceous Quantou reservoir in the Huazijing Step of the southern Songliao Basin, China. Here, we present results of a petrographic characterization of this reservoir based on polarizing microscope, X-ray diffraction, fluid inclusion, and carbon–oxygen isotopic data. These data were used to identify whether CO₂ might be trapped in minerals after the termination of a CO₂-enhanced oil recovery (EOR) project, and to determine what effects might the presence of CO₂ have on the properties of crude oil in the reservoir. The crude oil reservoir in the study area, which coexists with mantle-derived CO₂, is hosted by dawsonite-bearing lithic arkoses and feldspathic litharenites. These sediments are characterized by a paragenetic sequence of clay, quartz overgrowth, first-generation calcite, dawsonite, second-generation calcite, and ankerite. The dawsonite analysed during this study exhibits δ¹³ C (Peedee Belemnite, PDB) values of ?4.97‰ to 0.67‰, which is indicative for the formation of magmatic–mantle CO₂. The paragenesis and compositions of fluid inclusions in the dawsonite-bearing sandstones record a sequence of two separate filling events, the first involving crude oil and the second involving magmatic–mantle CO₂. The presence of prolate primary hydrocarbon inclusions within the dawsonite indicates that these minerals precipitated from oil-bearing pore fluids at temperatures of 94–97°C, in turn suggesting that CO₂ could be stored as carbonate minerals after the termination of a CO₂-EOR project. In addition, the crude oil in the basin would become less dense after deposition of bitumen by deasphalting the injection of CO₂ gas into the oil pool.     

典型蒸发岩与泥岩共生沉积体系中元素及烃类物质响应——以东营凹陷沙河街组四段为例

东营凹陷沙四段中、下亚段是中国东部典型的新生代第三系蒸发岩与烃源岩共生沉积体系。对其中两口深层井（郝科1井、丰深2井）沙四段含盐层段进行了较密集的取芯,对其中无机元素组成特征、碳同位素及有机质丰度、成熟度、生烃指标等进行了测试及分析,分析结果显示：不同元素响应差异明显,铝及锰、钡含量为低值响应,钠、钙、镁含量为高值响应,锶含量显示异常高值;特征元素比值分布上也有明显响应,V/Ni、（Fe+Al）/(Ca+Mg)出现低值响应,Sr/Ba、Fe/Mn、Sr/Ca均出现高值响应;元素分布离散性和波动性比较明显,无机元素在蒸发岩中亏损,而在相邻泥岩中相对富集（钠除外,钠在蒸发岩中富集）;不同族组分和正构烷烃单体烃碳同位素值分别分布于-28‰~-21‰和-32‰~-18‰,有机质族组分间碳同位素分馏效应相对小(<-2‰),正构烷烃单体烃碳同位素曲线上,C17、C18 的δ13C值相对较高而变化显著;热演化和TSR反应造成对烃源岩中残留烃类碳同位素δ13C值的增重作用;所检测含盐井段具有良好的生、排烃能力,有机质组分中腐泥组占绝对优势,有机质类型为Ⅰ型和Ⅱ1型,烃源岩原始生烃潜量及排烃量可分别达到40 mg/g和20 mg/g,排烃效率基本在60%以上,但它在平面上和剖面上均具有较强的非均质性。与蒸发岩共生的泥岩有机质丰度、成熟度及生、排烃各项指标要高于蒸发岩,高热演化可导致其残余生排烃能力下降。     

The controls of geomorphology and sediment supply on sequence stratigraphic architecture and sediment partitioning of the lacustrine rift basin in the Es3 of Liuzan area,Nanpu Sag,Bohai Bay Basin,China

An important hydrocarbon reservoir is hosted by the third member of the Shahejie Formation (Es₃) in the Liuzan area, Nanpu Sag, Bohai Bay Basin, China. The Es₃ can be divided into five third-order sequences (from base to top: Sq1, Sq2, Sq3, Sq4 and Sq5). Utilising well logs, cores and high-resolution 3-D seismic data, this study investigates the development characteristics and styles of sediment transport pathways in the steep-slope zone of the lacustrine rift basin. Two styles of sediment transport pathway are identified in the study area, including the faulted trough and fault slope-break zone. The faulted trough is divided into a single faulted trough, synthetic faulted trough and antithetic faulted trough. The fault slope-break zone is composed of synthetic fault slope-break zone and antithetic fault slope-break zone. The fan-delta plain and fan-delta front are recognised in the study area. The different styles of delivery conduits control depositional facies types and the spatial and temporal evolution of fan-delta depositional systems from Sq3 to Sq5. Based on paleo-geomorphological reconstruction, the dispersal pattern of the steep-slope zone system divided into a northern steep-slope system and an eastern steep-slope system is established. In Sq3, the northern steep-slope system develops large-scale mixed sandy–muddy fan-delta deposits derived from the NW. The eastern steep-slope system feeds the medium-scale gravel-rich fan-delta sediments. In Sq4, the large-scale mixed sandy–muddy fan-delta deposits develop from the NNE direction in the northern steep-slope system. The small-scale sand-rich fan-delta sediments are transported from the eastern steep-slope system. In Sq5, the large-scale mixed sand–mud fan-delta deposits are fed by both the northern steep-slope system and eastern steep-slope system. The strata stacking pattern exhibits a seesaw mode in the study area. Based on the analysis of the channel-belt thickness and the fan-scales, the paleogeomorphology of the drainage area in Sq3 and Sq4 and sediment supply in Sq5 alternatively control the sequence stratigraphic architecture and sediment partitioning in the sink area. The model proposed in this study may aid in the prediction of favourable reservoirs and good source–reservoir–seal development in lacustrine rift basin.     

Physical and numerical simulations of the presence of a forsterite transitional zone at high temperature and pressure: insight for scCO2 geological storage

Geological sequestration is one of the most effective ways to reduce greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide (CO₂). The deep oceanic crust dominated by ultrabasic rock could store CO₂ permanently. However, the storage mechanism has not been thoroughly understood because of the limited amount of research and experiments conducted. This study explored the reactive mechanisms of water–rock–gas in an ultrabasic system under different conditions. Forsterite, the most dominant mineral found in ultrabasic reservoirs, was used to conduct laboratory physical simulation experiments. Two experimental systems were designed including an scCO₂–forsterite–water system and an N₂–forsterite–water system. All experiments were performed for 1000 h at an experimental temperature of 150°C and a pressure of 150 bar, respectively, to mimic the geological conditions. The liquid products from the experiments were analysed by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry, whereas the solid samples were analysed by scanning electron microscopy with energy disperse spectroscopy. Results showed that: (1) in the early stage during scCO₂/N₂–forsterite–water interaction, forsterite was dissolved with a reactive transitional zone forming on the surface, which caused H⁺ to enter into the silicate framework and accelerated the reaction; (2) in the N₂ system, the dissolution of forsterite was inhibited by the Mg²⁺ concentration after reaching its saturation in the late stage; and (3) in the scCO₂ system, magnesite was precipitated as a secondary mineral during the late stage, which promoted the dissolution of forsterite. As a result, the degree of dissolution of forsterite in the scCO₂ system was far higher than in the N₂ system. The experimental results are consistent with the numerical simulation using TOUGHREACT, a geochemical simulation procedure, which showed that CO₂ promotes the dissolution of forsterite greatly at high temperature and pressure.     

江西信江盆地晚白垩世塘边组成壤碳酸盐岩碳、氧同位素特征

利用古土壤成壤碳酸盐岩稳定同位素组成估算古代大气CO_2浓度,是当前古气候环境研究的重要手段。对采自江西信江盆地晚白垩世圭峰群塘边组的成壤碳酸盐岩碳、氧同位素测试表明,δ13C(PDB)值在-4.30‰~-2.10‰之间,平均值为-2.84‰。δ18O(PDB)值在-6.62‰~-1.14‰之间,平均值为-3.62‰。由Cerling经验公式估算出晚白垩世Campanian晚期约75 Ma的大气CO_2浓度在782~1 420 ppmv之间,平均值为1 181 ppmv,是当今大气CO_2浓度的2~4倍。因此,基于信江盆地塘边组成壤碳酸盐岩的大气CO_2浓度估算结果,可能指示了晚白垩世Campanian晚期存在一个大气CO_2浓度高峰值,反映了晚白垩世大气CO_2浓度的波动性。     

断层与幔源二氧化碳气藏的形成和分布——以渤海湾盆地济阳坳陷为例

幔源CO_2气的形成和分布与不同级别断层早白垩世以来的活动密切相关。郯庐断裂带是研究区最主要的成气断层,拆离断层和变换断层这些地壳断层是次要的成气断层,二者于早白垩世143Ma、124Ma、新生代~43Ma、~24Ma和~8Ma的走滑或伸展活动,以及与之准同时的新生代碱性玄武岩浆活动,控制了幔源CO_2气的分散和聚集。它们与基底断裂、盖层断裂共同组成运移通道,其中拆离滑脱处的低速带和盖层断裂中的顺层断层是重要的水平运移通道。早白垩世古太平洋板块俯冲脱水脱气,产生的幔源CO_2气沿着郯庐断裂带向上分散聚集;新生代以来受控于太平洋板块俯冲方向和速度的改变以及印欧板块碰撞的远程效应,形成幔源CO_2气。与此同时郯庐断裂带切割深度亦逐渐加大,~43Ma碱性岩浆活动亦开始形成幔源CO_2气并主要位于断裂带,24Ma和8Ma(5Ma)为新近纪碱性岩浆活动脱气两个主要形成时期。郯庐断裂带的活动使地幔脱气形成的CO_2沿断层走向向上运移,并在作为重要横向运移通道的拆离断层拆离滑脱处,与因岩浆脱气形成的CO_2汇合,再通过陡倾斜、缓倾斜基底断层、盖层断层的接力传递在浅部聚集成藏。预测郯庐断裂带附近是无机成因油气重要的聚集分布区带。     

断陷湖盆超压封存箱形成机理与油气成藏机制——以渤海湾盆地东营凹陷为例

东营凹陷的超压分布于沙河街组三段中-下亚段大套泥岩和沙四段灰色膏盐岩段中,常压—低压系统发育于上部层段,包括沙二段上亚段、东营组、馆陶组、明化镇组和更新统,形成二元结构。这些发育程度不同的超压体系可以构成不同级别的超压封存箱系统,控制着油气的运移和聚集。超压封存箱的形成是一个地球化学自组织过程,与系统内的流体对流运动及成岩作用密切相关。超压体系构成了准封闭的超压封存箱型自源油气成藏动力学系统,同时也可以通过幕式排放为浅层的新近系及古近系的沙三段上亚段至东营组常压开放性它源油气成藏动力学系统提供油源及成藏动力。超压不但是油气运聚的主要动力,而且在其产生与演化的过程中能形成微裂缝型油气运聚隐蔽输导体系,是形成岩性等隐蔽油气藏的重要条件。超压和断裂形成陆相断陷湖盆断—压双控流体流动机制。断裂是超压体系卸压的重要渠道,也是幕式排放的主要途径;与断裂沟通的砂岩体及构造背斜等是有利的勘探目标,超压泥岩体周围的透镜状砂体是隐蔽油气藏的潜在目标。     

宁洱火山区壳内岩浆囊现今温度:来自CO_2-CH_4碳同位素地质温度计的估计

温度是岩浆囊的重要物理参数,获取温度参数并监测其变化对更好地理解岩浆囊的物理化学性质和行为、评价火山的活动性和喷发危险性具有重要的理论和现实意义。火山岩浆-水热系统丰富的含碳气体,这些含碳气体间碳同位素温度计为我们解决休眠火山区地下岩浆囊的温度问题提供了可能。我们对宁洱火山区地表地热异常强度最高区的4个温泉点CO_2、CH_4碳同位素组成进行了2年的连续观测和2次平行观测,利用观测数据对CO_2、CH_4气体的岩浆来源进行了甄别,对CO_2-CH_4间碳同位素分馏是否发到平衡进行了判断,然后利用Horita CO_2-CH_4碳同位素平衡分馏方程计算了宁洱-通关火山区逸出气体的源区温度。结果表明:宁洱火山区4个样点中,1个样点的CO_2和CH_4均为非岩浆成因,其他3个样点的主要属于岩浆来源。剔除了非岩浆来源的数据后的δ-Δ图解法判断CO_2-CH_4间碳同位素分馏达到了平衡。3个样点的CO_2、CH_4碳气体源区温度分别为425~475℃、941~995℃和1179~1578℃。结合最上部地壳温度场结果,我们认为,宁洱火山区现今存在2个壳内岩浆房,分别位于宁洱火山以南和通关火山以北,宁洱岩浆房的温度为1179~1578℃,通关岩浆房的温度为941~995℃。2个岩浆房的现今温度已达到流纹岩浆(600~900℃)、安山岩(800~1100℃)和玄武岩浆(1000~1250℃)的形成温度。思普地震带空间上密集的6级地震丛集活动可以用宁洱岩浆房的高活动性来解释。δ-Δ图解法判断CO_2-CH_4间碳同位素分馏平衡准则应修正为:在保持两拟合直线的斜率符号相反的条件下,δ~(13)CCO_2-ΔCO_2-CH_4拟合直线和δ~(13)CCH_4-ΔCO_2-CH_4拟合直线应相交于δ轴附近截距差Δb≤0.16处。     

CO<Subscript>2</Subscript>-rich fluid inclusions with chalcopyrite daughter mineral from the Fenghuangshan Cu–Fe–Au deposit,China: implications for metal transport in vapor

CO₂-rich fluid inclusions containing opaque mineral crystals were found in the Fenghuangshan skarn-porphyry Cu–Fe–Au deposit in Tongling, Anhui, China. These inclusions show variable CO₂ contents and are accompanied by aqueous inclusions, both occurring as secondary inclusions in quartz and being locally associated with chalcopyrite mineralization. Laser Raman microspectroscopic analyses confirm the predominance of CO₂ in the vapor and the presence of H₂S as high as 8 mol%, and identify the opaque mineral with yellow reflectance color in the inclusions as chalcopyrite. More than half of the CO₂-bearing inclusions contains chalcopyrite, whereas few of the associated aqueous inclusions do so. The chalcopyrite, occupying less than 1% (volume) of the inclusions, is interpreted to be a daughter mineral, and calculated Cu concentrations in the inclusions range from 0.1 to 3.4 wt%. Copper is inferred to have been transported in CO₂-dominated fluids as HS⁻ complexes. The occurrence of chalcopyrite daughter crystals in CO₂-rich fluid inclusions indicates that CO₂-rich vapor has the capacity of transporting large amounts of Cu, and possibly Au. This finding has significant implications for metal transport and mineralization in hydrothermal systems enriched in CO₂, such as orogenic-type and granitic intrusion-related gold deposits.     

筑坝对山区河流碳动力学的影响

流域的地貌和气候特征及干流筑坝等是影响河流碳动力学的主要因素。本文对干流下游筑坝的华南山地丘陵区河流增江的碳循环过程做了系统研究。结果表明,山地丘陵为主的流域地貌特征提高了增江河流碳的输出通量;而亚热带湿润气候和较高的森林覆盖率以及缺乏碳酸盐岩的流域地质背景使得溶解有机碳（DOC）构成增江河流碳的主要成分;光化学分解可以解释在秋季较强紫外线辐射下河水较低的DOC含量。受大坝影响河段水流速度的变缓为水生生物量的增加提供了条件,使得颗粒有机碳（POC）中来源于水生生物量的贡献率上升、有机物的C/N比降低。流速变缓的河道中藻类的生长导致水体CO₂分压低于大气中的CO₂分压。增江流域DOC和POC的输出通量分别为25.08×10⁵g/km²·a和11.58×10⁵g/km²·a。本文为研究自然因素和人类活动对河流碳循环过程及通量的影响提供了一个典型案例。

     

造山型金矿中富CO_(2)高内压流体包裹体完全均一温度的有效测定实验研究——以东天山玉峰金矿床为例SCIEI北大核心CSCD

形成于中-深成条件下的造山型金矿的成矿流体属于H_(2)O-NaCl-CO_(2)体系,金矿化阶段的石英中发育大量的富CO_(2)流体包裹体。长期以来,用常规冷热台对其进行显微测温热力学研究时,较高的内压力会造成绝大多数CO_(2)充填度>0.4的包裹体在尚未达到完全均一状态前就发生爆裂或泄露,导致所测的完全均一温度值明显偏离真实值,甚至无法测得完全均一温度,这制约了对造山型金矿床成矿条件的认知。针对该问题,本文以东天山玉峰金矿床富金矿石中的H_(2)O-NaCl包裹体(A型)和H_(2)O-NaCl-CO_(2)包裹体(AC型)为研究对象,介绍了利用最新型热液金刚石压腔(HDAC-VT型号)测试富CO_(2)高内压的AC型包裹体完全均一温度的实验流程与结果,并将实验数据与Linkam THMSG600冷热台测得的A型、AC型包裹体的完全均一温度进行了对比分析。实验结果表明,热液金刚石压腔能够有效阻止富CO_(2)流体包裹体在升温过程中发生爆裂、泄露等非弹性体积改变现象的发生,从而获得有效的完全均一温度。同时,本文还提出了一个新的压力-温度拟合线两线相交法,对热液金刚石压腔所测富CO_(2)流体包裹体的完全均一温度数据进行校正,以最大程度上减少外压力造成的影响,获得更为接近真实成矿流体的完全均一温度。基于此,获得玉峰金矿床的成矿温度和成矿压力分别为312~343℃和181~268 MPa。本文的实验研究工作显示了热液金刚石压腔在中-深成造山型金矿富CO_(2)成矿流体的研究领域具有重要应用前景。     

Melt and fluid inclusion evidence for a genetic relationship between magmatism in the Shuangliao volcanic field and inorganic CO2 gas reservoirs in the southern Songliao Basin,China

We have studied melt and fluid inclusions in minerals from alkali basalts, mantle xenoliths, and dawsonite-bearing sandstones from the Shuangliao volcanic field in southern Songliao Basin, Northeast China. The inclusions have been investigated using petrographic, geochemical, and laser Raman spectroscopic techniques. Volcanic rocks of the Shuangliao field are predominantly alkali olivine basalts that contain rare mantle xenoliths. Silicate melt and fluid inclusions are common in both olivine phenocrysts and the mantle xenoliths. The fluid inclusions are mainly composed of CO₂ with small amounts of CO, CH₄, N₂, and H₂O, which is consistent with an upper mantle origin. CO₂ gas reservoirs in the southern Songliao Basin are mostly derived from a mantle–magmatic source. Coeval fluid-inclusion homogenization temperatures, coupled with the thermal burial history, show that the CO₂ gas reservoirs in the southern Songliao Basin are Cenozoic (40–63 Ma) and coeval with the magmatism in the Shuangliao volcanic field. Despite the relatively small scale of this volcanic activity, it released large amounts of CO₂. Much of the magma was not erupted, and CO₂- and H₂O-rich magma was probably intruded into the basin along deep faults, acting as a major source of inorganic CO₂ gas in the southern Songliao Basin.     

Hydrochemical and isotope characteristics of spring water and travertine in the Baishuitai area (SW China) and their meaning for paleoenvironmental reconstruction

A method of combining hydrochemical data logging and in situ titrating with measurement of stable carbon and oxygen isotopes was used to reveal the hydrochemical and isotopic characteristics in the Baishuitai travertine scenic area of SW China. It was found that the travertine-forming springs have a very high concentration of calcium and bicarbonate, and accordingly very high CO₂ partial pressures, which are not likely to be produced by biological activity in soil alone. Further analysis of the stable carbon isotopes of the springs shows that the high pressure of CO₂ is mainly related to an endogenic CO₂ source. That means the Baishuitai travertine is endogenic in origin. This is contrast to the commonly accepted saying that the travertine deposition in this study simply is a product of warm and humid conditions in a karst ecological environment. Rapid CO₂ degassing from the water is triggered by the much higher partial pressures in water than that of the surrounding air. Consequently, as the waters flow downstream of the spring the pH increases, the waters become supersaturated with respect to calcite, and travertine is deposited. The preferential release of ¹²CO₂ to the atmosphere results in a progressive increase of travertine ¹³C downstream. This is concluded with a preliminary discussion of variation in travertine-forming water temperatures, according to differences in stable oxygen isotopic compositions of the travertine formed in different epochs at Baishuitai. It was found that the change in water temperature is as high as 13 °C, i.e., from 23 °C at about 2500 years b.p., to 10 °C at present. This may mainly reflect that the effect of geothermal source on water temperature is decreasing. The problems involved in paleoenvironmental reconstruction with endogene travertine are also discussed. They are the impacts of "dead carbon" in radiocarbon dating and the enrichment in ¹³C of travertine by endogenic CO₂ and degassing of CO₂ from water, which has to be considered in paleovegetation reconstruction when using ¹³C data of the endogene carbonate deposits.     

Formation of chlorite rims and the impact of pore-lining chlorite on reservoir quality: a case study from Shiqianfeng sandstones in upper Permian of Dongpu Depression,Bohai Bay Basin,eastern China

The source material, precursor and formation processes of chlorite rims, and impact of pore-lining chlorite on reservoir quality of the Shiqianfeng sandstones, Dongpu Depression, Bohai Bay Basin, China, are studied using an integrated approach, including core observation, point-count analysis of thin-sections, scanning electron microscopy, electron microprobe analysis and cathode luminescence. The petrographic analysis shows that chlorite rims consist of grain-coating chlorite, poorly crystalline pore-lining chlorite and euhedral-crystallised pore-lining chlorite. The chemical composition shows that pore-lining chlorite is mainly Fe-rich with an average of 0.785 for Fe/(Fe+Mg) ratio. Petrographic analysis shows a large amount of volcanic dust (3.0～16.0 vol%, average of 7.93 vol%) in Shiqianfeng sandstones, which determines the formation of poorly crystalline pore-lining chlorite. Transformation of volcanic dust to smectite rims started with shallow burial depth at an early diagenetic stage, followed by in situ alteration of the smectite rims to poorly crystalline chlorite rims. Euhedral-crystallised chlorite mainly develops in sandstones with high porosity, high permeability and open flow systems. Pore-lining chlorite can inhibit quartz overgrowth but cannot effectively prevent pore-filling of authigenic quartz, carbonate and kaolinite cements, and therefore cannot prevent porosity destruction. However, the occurrence of pore-lining chlorite is a barometer of good reservoir quality and intense hydrodynamic conditions.     

Controlling factors of reservoir quality in low-permeability reservoir within a sequence stratigraphic framework: a case study of the lower Jurassic sandstones in the Northern margin of the Qaidam Basin,China

The Qaidam Basin, one of China’s most prolific petroliferous basins, is located in the northeastern corner of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Using analytical data from cores, thin-sections and seismic data, and combined with the previous sequence stratigraphy research results, research on the reservoir characteristics was undertaken. The main controlling factors of reservoir quality in the sequence stratigraphy framework in the Lenghu area are discussed. The Lower Jurassic includes lowstand system tract (LST) and transitional systems tract (TST); the highstand systems tract are missing owing to tectonic uplift. The Lower Jurassic sandstones are composed of moderately to poorly sorted, subrounded sandstone representing several representative environments, including fan-delta and lacustrine facies. The main types of the Lower Jurassic sandstones are mostly feldspathic litharenite and lithic sandstone. The pore types of the Lower Jurassic sandstones are mainly secondary dissolution pores with few fracture types. The Lower Jurassic sandstones have experienced strong compaction that resulted in the loss of primary porosity. Carbonate cementation of the LST sandstones is greater than in the TST sandstones. Dissolution, which has an important role in reservoir development, is mainly caused by acidic fluids from the matured source rocks in the LST and meteoric water ingression from the top sequence boundary in the TST. Distributary channel sandstones adjacent to coal and mudstones are favourable reservoirs with turbidite sandstones adjacent to the sequence boundary less favourable reservoirs.     

Carbon and oxygen isotopic composition of car- bonate cements of different phases in terrigenous siliciclastic reservoirs and significance for their origin： A case study from sandstones of the Triassic Yanchang Formation, southwestern Ordos Basin, China

Early carbonate cements in the Yanchang Formation sandstones are composed mainly of calcite with relatively heavier carbon isotope （their δ^18O values range from -0.3‰- -0.1‰） and lighter oxygen isotope （their δ^18O values range from -22.1‰- -19.5‰）. Generally, they are closely related to the direct precipitation of oversaturated calcium carbonate from alkaline lake water. This kind of cementation plays an important role in enhancing the anti-compaction ability of sandstones, preserving intragranular volume and providing the mass basis for later disso- lution caused by acidic fluid flow to produce secondary porosity. Ferriferous calcites are characterized by relatively light carbon isotope with δ^13C values ranging from -8.02‰ to -3.23‰, and lighter oxygen isotope with δ^18O values ranging from -22.9‰ to -19.7‰, which is obviously related to the decarboxylation of organic matter during the late period of early diagenesis to the early period of late diagenesis. As the mid-late diagenetic products, ferriferous cal- cites in the study area are considered as the characteristic authigenic minerals for indicating large-scaled hydrocarbon influx and migration within the clastic reservoir. The late ankerite is relatively heavy in carbon isotope with δ^13C values ranging from -1.92‰ to -0.84‰, and shows a wide range of variations in oxygen isotopic composition, with δ^18O values ranging from -20.5‰ to -12.6‰. They are believed to have nothing to do with decarboxylation, but the previously formed marine carbonate rock fragments may serve as the chief carbon source for their precipitation, and the alkaline diagenetic environment at the mid-late stage would promote this process.
