川西前陆盆地勘探思路分析

受龙门山推覆构造的影响,川西前陆盆地的构造形变、沉积充填、圈闭类型在平面分布上存在较明显的差异.从总体上看,靠近龙门山前构造形变较强烈,地层倾角较陡,远离龙门山构造较为平缓;盆地中充填的上三叠统、侏罗系、白垩系主要以冲积扇、河流、三角洲、湖泊等沉积体系为主,龙门山的多期推覆活动以及推覆作用的向盆内推进,造成盆内地层以向上变粗的反粒序为主和沉积中心的有序迁移;靠近龙门山前主要以发育构造圈闭为主,进入盆内则以构造-岩性圈闭为主;地层水矿化度也表现为自龙门山向盆内增高.由此看来,川西前陆盆地不同构造部位必然具有不同的成藏条件,当然也应采取不同的勘探战略:龙门山前应中浅层兼顾,以构造圈闭为主要对象进行立体勘探;前陆深坳区,地层异常压力高,具有形成深盆气的条件,是深盆气的有利勘探场所;前陆隆起区应特别注意须家河组二段的尖灭区,以构造-岩性型圈闭为主要勘探目标;燕山期古隆起是浅层侏罗系天然气的运移指向区,应以浅层侏罗系天然气勘探为主攻方向.

EXPLORATION STRATEGY FOR THE FORELAND BASIN IN WESTERN SICHUAN

According to the analysis of the tectonic,sedimentary and hydrological features,combining with the distribution of oil and gas in Upper Triassic and Jurassic in the foreland basin in western Sichuan,the traps within the study area could be classified into structural and structural lithologic traps.It is pointed out that there are four major exploration areas in the west of Sichuan Basin:structural trap area along the Longmen Mountains including Upper Triassic Series and Jurassic System,deep basin gas in the depressions,structural lithologic trap area in the pinch out area of the second member of Xujiahe Formation along the foreland basin uplift,and shallower gas direction area in Jurassic System in the ancient Yanshan uplift.Different exploration strategies should be adopted in different areas and belts in the basin.
