Based on field outcrop observations and microscopic thin section analysis, the microfacies types, microfacies associations, and the evolution of sedimentary environments controlled by relative sea-level changes of the oil and gas reservoirs in the western Ordos Basin are studied. The results show that 13 types of microfacies (MF) can be identified in the Middle-Upper Cambrian of the study area, including argillaceous limestone MF, micritic limestone MF, bioclastic wackstone MF, bioclastic packstone MF, wormkalk, oolitic grainstone MF, intraclastic grainstone MF, intraclastic-bioclastic grainstone MF, mictric-fine crystalline dolomite MF, fine-medium crystalline dolomite MF, argillaceous dolomite MF, mudstone MF, and shale MF. The spatial distribution characteristics of microfacies indicate that this set of carbonate rocks has seven types of microfacies associations, representing restricted platform muddy dolomite flats (MA1), restricted platform dolomite flats (MA2), open platform intra-platform shoals (MA3), open platform inter-shoal sea (MA4), platform margin shoals (MA5), upper slope (MA6), and lower slope facies belts (MA7). From bottom to top, the Middle-Upper Cambrian in the study area successively develops MA5, MA6, MA7, MA3, MA4, MA1, and MA2, which correspond to the platform margin shoals, upper slope, lower slope, open platform intra-platform shoals, inter-shoal sea, restricted platform muddy dolomite flats, and dolomite flats. This sequence indicates that the sedimentary environment becomes more restricted vertically from bottom to top, with the water body becoming shallower. Laterally, the sedimentary environment transitions from slope to platform margin, then to open platform, and finally to restricted platform from west to east, representing a change from deep water to shallow water with a gradual increase in water energy. The sedimentary environment changes revealed by microfacies are jointly controlled by relative sea-level fluctuations and tectonic movements: the sedimentary period of the Zhangxia Formation was mainly controlled by sea-level changes, characterized by sea-level rise. The sedimentary period of the Sanshanzi Formation was controlled by both sea-level changes and tectonic movements. The tectonic uplift in the southwestern part of the basin gradually intensified, leading to a significant drop in relative sea level, thus forming the sedimentary environment transition from slope to platform margin, open platform, and restricted platform from bottom to top.

Diagenetic Recrystallization of Carbonate and Its Significance for Reservoir
CHEN Senran, LIU Shiqi, LIU Xinshe, WEI Liubin, LIU Bo, WANG Enze, YU Jinxin, XIONG Ying
Acta Scientiarum Naturalium Universitatis Pekinensis    2024, 60 (5): 839-850.   DOI: 10.13209/j.0479-8023.2024.065

In order to investigate the micro-mechanism of carbonate recrystallisation and its reservoir geological significance, based on the theory of carbonate recrystallisation and the latest research results, the effects of temperature, pressure and fluid composition on the mineral crystal-pore fluid reaction are investigated, and a geological-mathematical model is constructed to elucidate the relationship between recrystallisation and the physical parameters of carbonate rocks. The findings unveil the recrystallization in carbonate rocks as a microscopic process characterized by dissolution-precipitation and the stabilization of rock mineral phases. This process is markedly influenced by various factors, including temperature, pressure, and fluid solutes. By modulating the grain size and morphology of carbonate minerals, recrystallization plays a pivotal role in adjusting pore structure parameters, such as pore tortuosity and pore-throat radius ratio, ultimately enhancing the permeability of the rock porous medium. Moreover, this study introduces a recrystallization-rock property co-evolution model, delineating the impact of different diagenetic environmental conditions. Notably, fluid pressure emerges as a pivotal factor governing the preservation and adjustment of pore structure during the recrystallization process. In closed fluid overpressure systems, recrystallization tends to yield euhedral crystal structures in carbonate minerals, thereby favoring better preservation of rock porosity. Conversely, open fluid normal pressure systems tend to induce the formation of dense interlocking rock structures, leading to the impairment of pore structure and seepage capacity.

Synthesizing core, outcrop, drilling data, the sedimentary environment was reconstructed. The petrography analysis, reservoir space category summary, diagenesis recovery and controlling factors of the reservoir analysis were conducted. The tight sandstone reservoir with dual medium in Toutunhe formation fractures of Sikeshu sag has the characteristics of “three low one weak” of low component maturity, low shale content and lower cement content. The pore type is mainly composed of remaining intergranular pores and a few intragranular pores and fissure types mainly consist of bedding fissures and diagenetic fissure. The principal elements controlling the tight sandstone reservoir property of in Toutunhe formation fractures of Sikeshu sag are depositional environment, burial process, compaction and tectonism. The tight sandstone reservoir with braided river delta front subfacies that developed in the Gaoquan anticline and West Lake anticline has favorable prospect for exploration. The coarse sandstones with a small amount of plastic grain content possesses better reservoir quality. The reservoir is mainly controlled by compaction. Denudation pore increasing and cementation hole reduction is limited. Fissures improve reservoir properties effectively.

Acta Scientiarum Naturalium Universitatis Pekinensis    2017, 53 (4): 652-666.   DOI: 10.13209/j.0479-8023.2017.010

In order to enhance the understanding of the stage of magmatism and the relationship between Weishan alkaline complex and REE mineralization, the zircon U-Pb age and geochemistry of Weishan alkaline complex are conducted. The geochemical result shows that syenite series has the same geochemical characteristics, proving that they are from the same resource, and the syenite belong to metaluminous and alkaline series. They have high ∑REE, and distinct fractionation between HREE and LREE, exhibiting depleted in HREE, Nb, Ta, Zr, but enriched in LREE, Rb, Ba, Sr, and have slight Eu abnormality, which is consistent with the characteristics of mantle-derived magmatic rocks. The element-geochemical features reflect that the magma comes from enriched mantle. LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb ages of the ore-bearing quartz syenite and the aegirine-augite syenite are separately 122.4±2.0 Ma (MSWD=5.2) and 130.1±1.4 Ma (MSWD=9), and the presence of 2536±6.1 Ma (MSWD=1.6) inherited zircon is also an evidence that crustal materials have been involved in the magmatism process. It is concluded that Weishan syenites had come into being in an extensional setting after the transformation of the tectonic regime in the NCC in the Mesozoic area, when a large-scale enriched mantle melted to cause the generation of alkaline magma and a massive upwelling of the mantle materials from the asthenosphere to form finally the REE deposit after the formation of the alkaline rock complex.

In order to study whether the growth of trees existence mutations problems, measurement and calculation of the mutation based on the cusp model theory is applied to 10 common species single tree volume in Wang Ye Dian forest farm which is located in Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia, China. 10 northern common tree species were selected to carry out the experiment, the tree height (H), DBH (D), volume (V), diameter (D0) were measured which as the true value. To test the Internal and external accord accuracy of the “V-H-D” model by using the improved differential evolution algorithm and edge species and then compare the difference between model calculation value and instrument measuring. After a certain iteration, the results showed that the overall relative error (RS) of the model is in the range of [0.001, 0.05], the average relative error (E) is in the range of [-0.11, 0.02], and the overall prediction accuracy (P) is greater than 80%. The outcome had shown the good fitness of the model, namely the cusp catastrophe theory model applies to northern China 10 single species tree volume. With the growing of trees, when the height of the tree reaches a certain height, the volume will follow the theory model of cusp catastrophe theory. This is the cusp catastrophe theory model was first applied to the determination of single tree volume and got a better fitting result. Meanwhile, a low-dimensional model of mutation was established in the discontinuous measurement, which provides a theoretical and practical basis for the study of tree volume and various species of spatial competition.

The experiment aims to investigate the influence of chlorination agents (NaCl, CaCl2, and FeCl3) on volatilization of heavy metals in fly ash from a Shenzhen municipal solid waste incinerator (MSWI) during thermal treatment by using a tube furnace. The results indicate that these three chlorination agents could promote the evaporation of heavy metal in fly ash with different performance. However, these chlorination agents had different effects on the volatilization of heavy metals. All of Pb and Cr could be almost volatilized without addition of chlorination agents, while chlorination agents addition produced significant effect on the volatilization of Zn and Cu: FeCl3≈ CaCl2> NaCl. The optimal parameters for vaporization were obtained as follows: fly ash with addition of 15% CaCl2 was treated at 1000℃ for 2 hours under the condition of N2 as carrier gas (0.6 L/min).
