Abstract:

To evaluate the shale oil exploration potential of the member 3 of the Paleogene Dongying Formation(Ed3)in the Nanpu sag,this study investigates paleoclimate and paleoenvironmental variations and their impacts on organic matter accumulation through mineralogical and geochemical analyses of 21 shale samples. Results reveal strong heterogeneity in the Ed3 shale,with TOC ranging from 0.30% to 2.66%,S1+S2 from 0.44 to 11.41mg/g,and HI from 57 to 466mg/g TOC,predominantly characterized by Type II kerogen at low to mature thermal maturity stages. Multiple geochemical proxies indicate that a semi-humid to semi-arid paleoclimate during the Ed3 deposition influenced palaeoenvironmental fluctuations. From bottom to top,paleowater depth transitioned from shallow to deep and back to shallow,paleosalinity shifted from brackish to fresh and back to brackish,and redox conditions evolved from weakly oxidizing to weakly reducing and back to weakly oxidizing. These environmental fluctuations controlled differential organic matter accumulation. Under humid climates,high paleoproductivity and anoxic conditions in deeper waters promoted efficient organic matter burial and enrichment. Conversely,under arid climates,moderate paleoproductivity and oxic conditions in shallower waters resulted in lower organic matter burial and enrichment. The established model of organic-rich mudstone development provides a foundation for selecting favorable lacustrine shale oil exploration intervals.

摘要: 为查明南堡凹陷古近系东营组三段(东三段)页岩油勘探潜力,基于21个页岩样品矿物学和地球化学研究,剖析了古气候和古环境变化过程及其对有机质富集的影响。结果表明,南堡凹陷东三段页岩非均质性较强,TOC介于0.30%~2.66%之间,S1+S2介于0.44~11.41 mg/g之间,HI介于57~466 mg/g TOC之间,以Ⅱ型干酪根为主,处于低成熟至成熟演化阶段。根据多种特征参数的垂向变化趋势,认为南堡凹陷东三段沉积时期,半湿润至半干旱交替型古气候影响着古湖泊环境波动变化,自下而上古水深经历了较浅水→较深水→较浅水、古盐度经历了半咸水→淡水→半咸水、古氧化还原条件经历了弱氧化→弱还原→弱氧化,上述的波动变化影响着有机质差异富集。在偏湿润气候下,水体古生产力高且以较深水的贫氧环境为主,有机质埋藏率高,导致沉积物中有机质富集程度高; 而在偏干旱气候下,水体古生产力中等且以较浅水的富氧环境为主,有机质埋藏率低,导致沉积物中有机质富集程度低。由此建立的富有机质页岩发育模式,可为湖相页岩油有利勘探层段选择提供依据。
