文摘

The Hailar-Tamtsag Basin is a typical rift basin where two sets of regional caprocks are developed, i.e., mudstone caprocks (containing a small amount of tuff) developed in strong rifting stage and fault-depression stage, respectively. The caprocks have a cumulative thickness of 50-20 m in general, and a single-layer thickness of 20-0 m, interbedded with sandstone about 1- m thick. The large set of mudstone is distributed continuously, as pure mudstone caprock. Forty-three mudstone and tuff samples were taken to perform displacement pressure test with our independently developed displacement pressure tester. Test result shows that the displacement pressure is 0.04-0.00 MPa, which is equivalent to 0.09-0.01 MPa after being corrected to the actual burial depth. As the burial depth increases, the displacement pressure rises gradually, and is 1-0 times greater than that of oil-bearing sandstone or conglomerate reservoir at the same burial depth. The difference between displacement pressure of mudstone caprock and sandstone or conglomerate reservoir increases greatly if the burial depth exceeds 1000 m. Because of the displacement pressure difference between caprock and reservoir, the maximum height of hydrocarbon column sealed by the caprock ranges from 300 m to 2000 m, much higher than the height of the trap closure at the same burial depth. No hydrocarbons will leak through such caprocks. Analysis of the reservoir GOI, homogeneous temperature, and crude maturity of both deep and shallow reservoirs in Well Wu-20 in the Wuerxun Depression shows that Damoguaihe II Member reservoir is a secondary reservoir developed during adjustment of early reservoir. It is mainly distributed in inverted structures. Faulting is one of the main factors breaking the integrity of caprocks. Three kinds of faults are often related to the migration of hydrocarbons across regional caprocks: the first type refers to the positive inverted faults breaking the early sealing conditions and making the hydrocarbons accumulated in the early period re-migration; the second type refers to the faults with shear mudstone smear structures which lose their continuity and open vertically when the fault throws exceed 5 times of the mudstone thickness; the third type refers to the normal faults developed in the structural inversion stage, which have a typical cataclastic structure and are easy to cause vertical migration of hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbon enriched horizons of the rift basins are co-controlled by “fault-caprock- Specifically, 95% of the geological reserve is controlled by regional caprocks, and only 5% is controlled by open faults, secondary oil/gas reservoirs are developed over regional caprocks.
