  • 摘要: 有机质发育特征及富集规律与古沉积环境密切相关,是油气地质研究的核心内容,对海域中—低勘探程度盆地的油气勘探高效评价与部署具有重要指导意义。基于旋回地层学与地球化学分析技术,对北部湾盆地海中凹陷古近系涠洲组开展天文周期识别与划分,构建高频层序格架及天文年代标尺,结合古盐度、古氧相、古水深、古气候及古生产力(“五古”)参数分析,探索有机质在不同旋回尺度中的富集规律。结果表明:(1)涠洲组在天文轨道周期驱动下,存在3.5个2.4 Myr超长偏心率旋回、7个1.2 Myr超长斜率旋回、21个405 kyr长偏心率旋回、68个125 kyr中偏心率旋回、88个96 kyr短偏心率旋回、163个52 kyr斜率旋回、212个40 kyr斜率旋回及369个23 kyr岁差旋回;(2)“五古”环境分析表明,涠洲组有机质富集期整体发育淡水、弱氧化、温暖湿润、浅水及高生产力的沉积环境;(3)涠洲组“五古”环境与有机质富集受天文轨道周期调控,呈协同演化特征,当超长偏心率与长偏心率处于极大值时,有机质富集程度最高;据此识别出涠二段上段上部、涠二段下段下部、涠三段上段上部及涠四段上段上部4个有机质有利富集层段,若邻近储集体具备良好圈闭条件,则油气充注条件更优越,近源强充注背景下可成为下一步有利勘探层段。构建高频层序格架与天文年代标尺,同时揭示天文轨道周期调控下涠洲组的古气候演化特征及其对有机质富集规律的约束机制,以期为研究区后期油气勘探提供参考。

     

    Abstract: The development characteristics and enrichment patterns of organic matter are closely related to the paleo-sedimentary environment, forming a core aspect in petroleum geology research. They hold significant guiding value for the efficient evaluation and deployment of oil and gas exploration in basins with low to medium exploration maturity in marine areas. Based on cyclostratigraphy and geochemical analysis techniques, the astronomical cycles of the Paleogene Weizhou Formation in Haizhong Sag, Beibu Gulf Basin, were identified and divided, a high-frequency sequence stratigraphic framework and an astronomical time scale were constructed. The enrichment patterns of organic matter at different cyclic scales were explored by analyzing the parameters of paleosalinity, paleo-oxygen facies, paleo-water depth, paleoclimate, and paleoproductivity ("five-paleo"). The results showed that: (1) driven by astronomical orbital cycles, 3.5 cycles of 2.4 Myr ultra-long eccentricity, 7 cycles of 1.2 Myr ultra-long obliquity, 21 cycles of 405 kyr long eccentricity, 68 cycles of 125 kyr intermediate eccentricity, 88 cycles of 96 kyr short eccentricity, 163 cycles of 52 kyr obliquity, 212 cycles of 40 kyr obliquity, and 369 cycles of 23 kyr precession were recognized within the Weizhou Formation. (2) The analysis of the "five-paleo" environmental parameters indicated that organic matter enrichment periods in the Weizhou Formation developed in a sedimentary environment characterized by freshwater, weak oxidation, warm and humid conditions, shallow water, and high productivity. (3) The "five-paleo" environment and organic matter enrichment of the Weizhou Formation were regulated by astronomical orbital cycles, exhibiting synergistic evolutionary characteristics. The degree of organic matter enrichment was highest when the ultra-long eccentricity and the long eccentricity reached their maximum values. Based on this, four intervals for organic matter favorable enrichment were identified: the upper part of the upper sub-member of the second member of the Weizhou Formation, the lower part of the lower sub-member of the second member of the Weizhou Formation, the upper part of the upper sub-member of the third member of the Weizhou Formation, and the upper part of the upper sub-member of the fourth member of the Weizhou Formation. If adjacent reservoirs have good trapping conditions, the oil and gas charging conditions will be more advantageous. Under the background of strong near-source charging, these intervals could become favorable targets for future exploration. This study establishes the high-frequency sequence stratigraphic framework and the astronomical time scale. Additionally, the paleoclimate evolution characteristics of the Weizhou Formation under the regulation of astronomical orbital cycles and their constraining mechanisms on organic matter enrichment patterns are revealed, thereby providing references for future oil and gas exploration in the study area.
