四川盆地五峰组‒龙马溪组页岩沉积作用
Sedimentation of Wufeng Formation⁃Longmaxi Formation Shale in Sichuan Basin
,
海相页岩沉积作用尚不清楚.在四川盆地7口井五峰组‒龙马溪组采集9块页岩分成18个研究单元,利用岩心、光学显微镜、电子探针、MAPS技术有序衔接开展沉积作用分析.结果表明,海相页岩为静水沉积、深水重力流沉积、深水牵引流沉积交互叠置,各沉积类型岩石学标志不同.静水沉积的典型标志为富孔有机黏粒复合体,深水重力流沉积的典型标志为粗粒陆源石英与浅水介屑悬浮在含深水细粒物质中,深水牵引流沉积发育富孔纯净有机质.含放射虫页岩是开展海相页岩沉积分析的关键,沉积环境与沉积类型结合是解释矿物和有机质及页岩纹层赋存形式与成因的约束条件,分沉积类型开展储层评价是页岩气高效开发的有效路径.建议页岩沉积和储层分析重视MAPS技术.
The sedimentation of marine shale is still unclear. The 18 study units were selected from 9 core samples of the Wufeng-Longmaxi formations in 7 wells of the Sichuan Basin. The sedimentation of marine shale was analyzed in orderly connections such as core, optical microscopy, electron probe microscopy and MAPS technology. The results show that the marine shale is an alternation superposition of still-water sedimentation, deep-water gravity flow sedimentation and deep-water traction current sedimentation, with the difference in the petrological marks of each sedimentation. The typical mark of still-water sedimentation is the porous organic matter-clay aggregate. The typical mark of deep-water gravity flow sedimentation is the coarse-grained terrestrial quartz and shallow-water shell clastics suspended in deep-water fine-grained materials. The typical mark of deep-water traction current sedimentation is the porous organic matter. The radiolarian shales are the key for conducting marine sedimentary analysis. The combination of sedimentary environments and types is a reasonable constraint for explaining the occurrence and genesis of minerals and organic matter, as well as shale laminae. Fine reservoir evaluation based on sedimentation is an effective path for shale gas development. It is recommended to pay attention to the MAPS technology in the analysis of shale sedimentation and reservoir evaluation.
