In order to effectively guide the exploration program targeting turbidites, this study will focus on the depositional models of the Sha-3 Member turbidites and oil/gas accumulation characteristics in these turbidites. Two corresponding relationships were found. One is that the East African Rift Valley provides a modern analog for the depositional systems in the Dongying Depression. The other is that the depositional models of line-sourced slope aprons, single point-source submarine fan and multiple source ramp turbidite, established for deep-sea turbidites, can be applied to interpret the depositional features of the turbidite fans of three different origins: slope turbidite aprons, lake floor turbidite fans and delta-fed turbidite fans in the Sha-3 Member. Updip sealing integrity is the key factor determining whether oil/gas accumulates or not in the slope aprons and lake floor fans. The factors controlling oil/gas migration and accumulation in the delta-fed turbidite fans are not very clear. Multiple factors rather than a single factor probably played significant roles in these processes.展开更多

The results showed that the composition and areal distribution of hydrocarbons vary with the location of the oil pools. An increasing trend of gammacerane/C30-hopane and steranes/hopanes but a decreasing trend of prystane/phytane （Pr/Ph） and 18（H）-/17（H）- trisnorhopane （Ts/Tm） ratios were observed from southwest to northeast. This indicates a variation of source rocks and hydrocarbon properties. An increasing trend of water salinity with much more input of algae-rich microorganisms in the deposition environment of the source rock was observed from southwest to northeast. However, the thermal maturity of the source rocks showed a decreasing trend in the same direction. Oil-to-oil and oil-to-source rock correlations showed that most oils were sourced from Es3 and Es4 members with a burial depth of more than 3,000-3,150 m and 2,700 m respectively. The oils in the Shinan and Ying 11 sand bodies, which were generally mixed with the Es4 sourced oils, came mostly from Es3 mudstones. It is quite significant that the Es4 derived oils migrated vertically for hundreds of meters and accumulated in an overlying lithologic pool of the Es3^m, i.e., Ying 11 synclinal lithologic pool, which suggests that the mechanisms of migration and accumulation for subtle oil pools in the Dongying Depression are more complex than that of the previously expected.展开更多

The Es_(4) developed under highly reducing, sulfidic hypersaline conditions, while Es_(3) formed under dysoxic, brackish to freshwater conditions. Oils derived from Es_(4) are enriched in C_(32) homohopanes(C_(32) H), while those from Es_(3) are prominently enriched in C_(31) homohopanes(C_(31) H). The C_(32) H/C_(31) H ratio shows positive correlation with homohopane index(HHI), gammacerane index, and negative correlation with pristane/phytane ratio, and can be used to evaluate oxic/anoxic conditions during deposition. High C32 H/C_(31) H ratio(> 0.8) is an important characteristic of oils derived from anoxic environments, while low values(< 0.8) indicate dysoxic conditions and extremely low values(< 0.4)indicate strong oxic conditions. The C_(32) H/C_(31) H ratio can be applied for deposition condition diagnosis because carboxyl group of C_(32) hopanoic acids might be reduced to C_(32) homohopanes under anoxic conditions, and oxidized to C_(31) homohopane under oxic conditions. Advantages to use C_(32) H/C_(31) H ratio as redox condition proxy compared to the HHI and gammacerane indexes are wider valid maturity range,less sensitive to biodegradation influence and better differentiating reducing from oxic environments.展开更多

The small-scale syn-depositional faults in complex fault blocks are dense and different in dip, the activity along the strike of syn-depositional fault varies in different positions, and all these control the sedimentary process of deltaic sand bodies. Influenced by syn-depositional faults, the deltaic distributary channel is more likely to pass through the position with weak fault activity, and be deflected or limited at the position with strong fault activity. In downthrown side of a single syn-depositional fault or micro-graben areas, sand bodies increase in thickness and planar scale, and sand bodies of multiple stages are likely to stack over each other vertically. In micro-horst areas controlled by syn-depositional faults, the sand bodies decrease in abundance, and appear in intermittent superimposed pattern vertically. This study can provide new research ideas and theoretical basis for exploration and development research in complex fault blocks.展开更多
