Characteristics and vertical zonation of large‐scale granitic reservoirs, a case study from Penglai oil field in the Bohai Bay Basin, North China

Geological Journal (2020)

Tao Ye Anqing Chen Chengmin Niu Qingbin Wang L. Guo

Primary pores are undeveloped in the granite, but multiple types of reservoir spaces can form during the processes of weathering and tectonic movement. Taking Penglai (PL) oil field as an example, the vertical zonal characteristic of the buried granite is defined and the relationship between different zones and reservoir is discussed. The granite can be divided into weathered zone (WZ) and bedrock zone (BZ) vertically according to weathered or not, and the WZ can be divided into weathered clay zone (WCZ), weathered glutenite zone (WGZ), and weathered fracture zone (WFZ) further. The lithology, mineral composition, and weathering indices (geochemistry) can distinguish different zones. Both WZ and BZ can form good reservoirs, among them the reservoir of WGZ is dominated by pores, while that of WFZ and the BZ are mainly composed of fractures, and they constitute the high‐quality reservoir together. There is an obvious positive correlation between the thickness of fracture zone in BZ and the thickness of WZ, and both WZ and BZ are influenced by tectonic movement. Moreover, WZ superimposed with meteoric water dissolution makes it the best reservoir in the granitic buried hill, and the development of fractures in BZ extends the thickness of reservoir greatly.

Evolution regularity of the Neogene shallow water delta in the Laibei area Bohai Bay Basin, northern China

DOAJ (DOAJ: Directory of Open Access Journals) (2014)

Jianping Li Hao Liu Chengmin Niu Ruibo Guo Yuan Wang

Abstract According to the characteristics of sedimentary microfacies, unique vertical depositional sequences and well logging response, the authors propose that a shallow water delta was widely developed in the Neogene of the Laibei area, Bohai Bay Basin of northern China. Based on seismic minimum amplitude slices, well logging data, test analytical data and so forth, detailed research on the evolution of the shallow water delta of the Neogene Lower Member of Minghuazhen Formation was conducted. The results indicate that the third-order sequence base level controls sandbody types. During a period of low base level, a distributary channel sandbody of shallow water deltaic plain was developed. With base level rising, the sandbody type gradually changed into a subaqueous distributary channel sandbody and a sheet sand can be found as well. The fourth-order sequence base level controls medium–short term evolution of the sandbody. Within a sequence, due to the rising and falling of base level, the sandbody assemblages are identified as an upward-coarsening type, an upward-fining and a compound type respectively. Regionally, from the Laibei Low Uplift to the Huanghekou Sag, the shallow water delta evoluted from a dendritic shape, to a cuspate shape and finally to a sheet shape.

New Insights into the Distribution and Evolution of WNW-Directed Faults in the Liaodong Bay Subbasin of the Bohai Bay Basin, Eastern China

Frontiers in Earth Science (2022)

Wei Li Meifang Meng Tong-Jie Zhang Xingpeng Chen Yiming Liu

WNW-directed faults are widespread in eastern China, but debates regarding their distributions and evolutionary processes remain unsettled. Based on the latest 3-D seismic data, a series of WNW-directed faults south of the Liaodong Bay subbasin was identified, for which the evolution and formation mechanisms were discussed. The results show that four WNW-directed faults are characterized by poor continuity and nearly parallel orientations. Vertically, they exhibit listric geometries and cut through Paleozoic and Mesozoic formations. Since the late Triassic, these faults began as reverse faults under nearly S-N horizontal compression. In the Jurassic, those faults maintained their reverse-faulting activities with dramatically decreased intensities. In the Early Cretaceous, the WNW-directed faults were changed into normal faults under regional extension and were influenced by the sinistral strike-slip movement along the Tan-Lu fault zone. In the Late Cretaceous, the WNW-directed normal faults probably stopped moving due to a regional compressional event. During the Paleogene, the WNW-directed faults were reactivated with decreased intensities and were cut by NNE-directed faults. Here, we emphasize that the evolution of the WNW-directed faults could shed light on the regional tectonics. The WNW-trending faults that developed in the Liaodong Bay subbasin are closely related to the faults in the Yanshan orogenic belt. Therefore, investigating the characteristics and origin of WNW-induced faults will provide evidence for the tectonic evolution of the North China Block. In addition, the development of WNW-directed faults in the southern Liaodong Bay subbasin was conducive to the formation of buried Mesozoic and Paleozoic hills and hydrocarbon accumulations. In addition, we suggest that the compressional segment of the conjugated strike-slip transition zone that was formed by the interaction of the WNW- and NNE-directed strike-slip faults was conducive to hydrocarbon accumulations.

Cenozoic evolution of Zhangjiakou‐Penglai Fault Zone in the western offshore Bohai Bay Basin: Evidence from 3D seismic data

Geological Journal (2021)

Xiao Ma Jingyan Liu Changsong Lin Huiyong Li Chengmin Niu

The Zhangjiakou‐Penglai Fault Zone (ZPFZ) is an NW‐trending strike‐slip fault zone in Eastern China that contains abundant petroleum resources and has induced massive seismic hazards. It is left‐lateral and behaves as a conjugate relationship with the Tan‐Lu Fault Zone (TLFZ). Present studies on the ZPFZ are mainly conducted on its seismology and field exposure features, with subsurface characteristics and evolution history poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the ZPFZ in the western offshore Bohai Bay Basin based on the detailed interpretation of 3D seismic data, specializing in subsurface geometric characters and evolution history. The profile flower structure and plan broom‐like pattern featured the ZPFZ in the study area and indicate its sinistral strike‐slipping. We further investigated and discusssd the Cenozoic evolution history based on evidence in (a) distinguished tectonics in fault releasing and restraining bends, (b) strata thickness map before and after the strike‐slipping, and (c) geometry of composite flower structures. The result suggests the evolution of the ZPFZ mainly comprises three stages: (a) the initial extension from 65 to 38 Ma, (b) the sinistral strike‐slipping in transtension from 38 to 25 Ma, and (3) the sinistral strike‐slipping in transpression from 25 Ma to present. The proposed evolution of the ZPFZ had good consistency with that of the conjugate TLFZ and was closely related to the Cenozoic surrounding plate tectonism, especially the Pacific Plate subduction.
