    查看更多>>摘要:The widely spread Carboniferous-Permian coal seam group in southern China has great potential for coalbed methane resources,but the extensively developed tectonically deformed coal seriously restricts its development.Taking the Dahebian block in western Guizhou as the study area,the geological model of coalbed methane reservoirs in the tectonically deformed coal seam group was established,and the spatial distribution pattern of model parameters was clarified by clustering algorithms and factor analysis.The facies model suggests that the main coal body structures in Nos.1,4,and 7 coal seams are cataclastic coal and granulated coal,whereas the No.11 coal seam is dominated by granulated coal,which has larger thicknesses and spreads more continuously.The in situ permeability of primary undeformed coal,cataclastic coal,granulated coal,and mylonitized coal reservoirs are 0.333 mD,0.931 mD,0.146 mD,and 0.099 mD,respectively,according to the production performance analysis method.The property model constructed by facies-controlled modeling reveals that Nos.1,4,and 7 coal seams have a wider high-permeability area,but the gas content is lower;the high-permeability area in the No.11 coal seam is more limited,but the gas content is higher.The results of the self-organizing map neural network and K-means clustering indicate that the geological model can be divided into 6 clusters,the model parameter characteristics of the 6 clusters are summarized by data analysis in combination with 6 factors extracted by factor analysis,and the application of data analysis results in multi-layer coalbed methane co-development is presented.This study provides ideas for the geological modeling in the tectonically deformed coal seam group and its data analysis.

    查看更多>>摘要:The deformation structure of soft sediments has always been a research hotspot,which is of great significance for analyzing the tectonic and sedimentary evolution background of a basin,as well as the physical properties of reservoirs.Previous studies have reported that a large number of soft sediment deformation structures are developed in the western part of Liaohe depression.In this study,through core observation and thin section identification,various types of deformation structures are identified in the core samples which are collected from the upper Es4 in the Leijia region,western sag of Liaohe depression,such as liquefied dikes,liquefied breccia,convoluted laminae,annular bedding,synsedimentary faults,vein structures,etc.Based on the characteristics of core structure,single well profile and continuous well profile,combined with the regional background,this study clarifies that the deformation structure of soft sediments in the study area is mainly caused by seismic action.It is found that the permeability and porosity of deformation layers in the study area are higher than those of the undeformation layers,which proves that the deformation structure of soft sediments has a good effect on improving the physical properties of reservoirs.

    查看更多>>摘要:Precipitation can shape our climate both in the present and the future.Even though we have made significant advances in studying the mechanisms of millennial-scale climate changes through high-resolution records,we still cannot quantitatively characterize the global spatiotemporal precipitation variations within the Holocene.Therefore,we developed a new approach to integrating data from 349 globally distributed records and climate models to reconstruct regional and global precipitation patterns over the last 12000 years.Our results reveal that precipitation reconstructions can be divided into monsoon-driven and westerly driven patterns.The results suggest that an arid climate was experienced in the late glacial and early Holocene epoch(~12-7.4 cal ka BP),attaining a middle Holocene optimum(~7.4-3.5 cal ka BP),and drier after the middle Holocene.According to our reconstructions,the global precipitation reconstruction increased from the early Holocene until 3.8 cal ka BP and then subsequently decreased.In addition,our reconstruc-tions better reproduce the low-frequency events and extreme precipitation at the millennial scale in the hemispheres,but the performance of the reconstructions in the equatorial Pacific and the Southern Hemisphere of Africa and the Americas is controversial.The resolution of the record and the simulation capability of the climate model remain important means to improve our understanding of past climate change.

    查看更多>>摘要:Anthropogenic disturbances associated with the rapid development of coastal cities have drastically influenced the hydrodynamics and sediment transport processes in many large estuaries globally.Lingdingyang Estuary(LE),located in the central and southern part of the Pearl River Delta,southern China with a long history of high-intensity anthropogenic disturbances,was studied to explore the contribution rate and mechanism underlying the alteration in hydrodynamics and sediment transport under each phase of human activity.A state-of-the-art modeling tool(TELEMAC-2D),was used to study the variations in the hydrodynamics and sediment transport,accounting for reclamation-induced shoreline and dredging-induced topography changes.The results indicated that:ⅰ)under the influence of successive land reclamation,the general distribution of the Confluence Hydrodynamic Zone(CHZ)in LE varied from scattered to concentrated,and these zones moved 3-5 km seaward.ⅱ)Large-scale channel dredging weakened the residual flow in LE,decreasing the residual flow in the Inner-Lingding Estuary(ILE)by 62.45%.This was initiated by the enhancement of tidal dynamics through changes in the bottom friction caused by dredging in the ILE.In contrast,massive reclamation decreased the residual flow in the ILE by 17.55%and increased that in the Outer-Lingding Estuary(OLE).ⅲ)Despite disturbances related to land reclamation and dredging,the estuarine jet flow in LE remained a turbulent jet system,and the estuarine jet flow became more asymmetrical.In addition,the position of the estuarine jet source moved 6-13 km seaward.ⅳ)Both reclamation and dredging decreased the SSC in the ILE and increased the SSC in the OLE.Reclamation weakened the SSC in the ILE by 62.19%,whereas dredging enhanced the SSC in the OLE by 49%.Spatially,reclamation resulted in an increase in the SSC near the outlets and a decrease in the SSC in the northern portion of the Western Channel.Dredging mainly increased the SSC in the northern part of the OLE.ⅴ)The increase in the barotropic pressure gradient was the main factor driving the enhancement of the residual flow and SSC near the outlets.Moreover,the southward location of the"artificial outlets"favored the transport of suspended sediments to the OLE,which was one of the primary reasons for the increase in the SSC in the OLE.Finally,the tidal dynamics of the ILE intensified due to massive reclamation and dredging.The findings of this study indicate that hydrodynamics and sediment transport in LE have greatly changed over the last decades,with reclamation and dredging being the crucial drivers.The insights obtained from this study can serve as a reference for the comprehensive management of the Pearl River Estuary and other large estuaries experiencing similar anthropogenic forcing.

    查看更多>>摘要:As a hydrocarbon-rich sedimentary basin in China,the Ordos Basin has enormous potential for shale gas resources.The shale of the Upper Carboniferous Benxi Formation is rich in organic matter,however,its palaeoenvironment and organic matter enrichment mode are yet to be revealed.In this study,the geochemical characteristics of the shale of the Benxi Formation in the east-central part of the Ordos Basin were analyzed to investigate its palaeoenvironment.At the same time,the organic matter enrichment modes in different sedimentary facies were compared and analyzed.The results indicate that:1)the shale of the Benxi Formation was mainly deposited on the continental margin and strong terrestrial clastic input;2)the deposition period of the Benxi Formation shale had a hot and humid climate with high palaeoproductivity and local volcanic hydrothermal fluid,and a high sedimentation rate with the strong stagnant environment.The bottom water was in dysoxic conditions and a semi-saline deposition environment;3)multiple factors,such as palaeoproductivity,volcanic hydrothermal,redox conditions,and palaeosalinity interact to influence the enrichment of shale organic matter in Benxi Formation;4)the organic matter enrichment modes of continental,marine-continental transitional,and marine shales can be classified into three types:"production mode","hybrid mode of preservation and production",and"preservation mode",respectively.This study provides a reference for the organic matter enrichment mode,shale gas formation conditions,and core area evaluation in these marine-continental transitional shales,and also offers new guidance for exploration ideas for shale gas in different sedimentary facies.
