Expanding the analytical potential of channel locational probability maps using cellular statistics

The planimetric shifts in channel location of large alluvial rivers are a critical component in the creation of diverse structures and functions in riverine habitats. Engineered management schemes must also compensate for this type of channel change to protect resources and maintain navigation channels. The stability of the Lower Mississippi River channel was assessed through an analysis of historical records of channel position produced and archived by the United States Army Corps of Engineers. Channel location was recorded for the years 1765, 1820, 1881, 1915, 1930, 1937, 1960 and 1970. Channel stability was measured by two introduced metrics on a cell‐by‐cell basis: (1) the standard deviation of Euclidean distance to a channel cell for the entire period of record, and (2) the rate of Euclidean distance change between years in the period of record. At a coarse spatial scale, channel instability increased in the downstream direction. The variability of channel stability also increased in the downstream direction. Analysis of this variability identified alternating areas of high and low stability occurring with greater frequency as distance downstream increased. These findings are validated by past studies of channel stability along the Lower Mississippi River. As a result, the proposed metrics provide a consistent, quantitative, efficient and cost‐effective means of identifying areas of channel instability at several spatial scales.

鄂尔多斯盆地东部奥陶系盐下储层预测

鄂尔多斯盆地奥陶系的膏盐岩沉积面积达5×104km2,天然气的勘探程度很低。为此,利用测井技术和地震反演技术对盐下储层进行了预测。首先,通过对盐下沉积特征的综合分析,对盐下储集层段的发育层位和主要储集岩类型进行了描述;然后,采用ELAN测井技术对盐下储层的物性进行了分析,认为盐下储层的物性在普遍较差的背景上存在相对发育的层段和区带;最后,利用全局优化多道地震反演技术,对岩下储层进行了预测,认为盐下存在的局部隆起是圈闭和储层发育的有利区带。     

海拉尔盆地的古河道砂体识别方法

本文基于海拉尔盆地贝尔凹陷西北部高精度三维地震资料,通过对时间域、频率域地震属性的分析,研究了河道砂体的变化及分布规律,总结出了一套利用时间域、频率域地震属性识别古河道的方法。其中对河道砂体较为敏感的沿层属性主要有均方根振幅、反射强度梯度、有效带宽及瞬时频度等。利用这种识别方法在该区找到水下分流河道砂体和河口坝砂体,为该区的岩性勘探部署提供了具体目标。

利用黄河泥沙加固下游大堤

黄河是一条举世闻名的多泥沙河流，善淤、善决、善徒给沿河人民带来对过深重灾难，防洪问题一直是国家的心腹之患。泥沙问题是黄河防洪问题的症结所在。在总结固大堤经验的基础，进行挖河疏浚，淤筑“相对地下河”，已作为黄河治理的一项重大决策付诸实施。     

Dissolved organic carbon dynamics in the upper rhone: The influence of side-arms?

Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) dynamics were investigated over a two year period in the Upper Rhǒne River to examine the role of side-arms in providing DOC to the main channel in relation to discharge fluctuations, especially floods. Concentrations of DOC are shown to remain low in space and in time (average 1.5 mg ^?1) and to be more related to global hydrological events (precipitation) than to any local flushing for backwaters during floods. The results do not support the general assumption that side-arms are the providers of DOC to the main channel.     

中扬子及邻区层序地层与原型盆地演化

中扬子及邻区原型盆地可划分为 9个大层序,其中,1～6大层序由中、古生代海相地层组成;第 7大层序为早、中侏罗纪的陆相沉积;第 8大层序为晚侏罗世的前渊沉积;第 9层序为晚白垩世至第三纪的伸展盆地。震旦纪,中部地区为台地相环境,向南为浅海陆棚环境,向北以陆表海为主;寒武纪至早奥陶世为典型的大陆边缘盆地;中、晚奥陶世至志留纪为裂谷盆地发展阶段;泥盆纪至石炭纪该区发生广泛海侵,与华南海域和太平洋海域多处相连;二叠纪至早、中三叠世为原型盆地的重要转型时期,随着分隔秦岭微板块与扬子板块的勉略古洋盆向东打开,扬子北缘由前期的区域性隆起转变为向北加深的大陆边缘盆地;晚三叠世经历了两次幕式旋回,巴东组沉积时期盆地沉降缓慢,九里岗组沉积时期则较快;早、中侏罗世原型盆地早幕 (早侏罗世)沉积缓慢,晚幕 (中侏罗世)快速沉降,以水下沉积作用为主;晚侏罗世可划分为两大构造演化阶段,早期构造活动相对平静,晚期强烈;晚白垩世至老第三纪,盆地范围缩小,以湖泊、河流体系为主。由此,中扬子及邻区在地质历史时期经历了 4种不同性质的原型盆地,具有幕式充填特征。

柳沟庄—窟窿山油藏储集层裂缝类型及特征

根据岩心描述、薄片观察、X－CT扫描以及钻井、测井等资料，研究了酒西盆地青西坳陷柳沟庄－窟窿山油藏裂缝性储集层的类型及特征，分析了控制裂缝发育的地质因素及裂缝对油气的控制作用，认为储集层裂缝有3种基本类型，即构造裂缝、构造熔蚀缝和饼状破裂，主要受构造应力场及构造位置等因素的控制。根据裂缝形态、充填特征及其相互关系，裂缝的形成主要有3个期次，其中喜马拉雅运动晚期形成的第三期理解缝对油气运移和聚集最有效。研究结果表明，裂缝是柳沟庄－窟窿山油藏主要的储集空间和控制油气富集的因素。
