摘要
Multiple types of reservoirs, including volatile oil reservoirs, condensate gas reservoirs, and dry gas reservoirs, have been discovered in ultra-deep layers buried at depths greater than 7500 m. Understanding the genetic types of natural gas is of utmost importance in evaluating oil and gas exploration potential. The cumulative proved reserves of the super deep layer in the Shuntuoguole low uplift area of the Tarim Basin exceed 1 x 108 t (oil equivalent). The origin, source, and accumulation characteristics of natural gas still remain a subject of controversy. By analyzing the composition and carbon isotope of natural gas, a detailed investigation was conducted to examine the unique geochemical and reservoir formation characteristics of the Ordovician ultra-deep natural gas within different fault zones in the middle region of the Shuntuoguole low uplift. It was determined that most of the natural gas in this area is displaying a characteristic of wet gas with a drying coefficient ranging from 0.41 to 0.99. The carbon isotope composition of methane in the gas reservoir shows relatively light values, ranging from -49.4 parts per thousand to -42 parts per thousand. The carbon and hydrogen isotopes of the components are distributed in a positive order. The natural gas is oil type gas, which is derived from marine sapropelic organic matter and has a good correspondence with the lower Yuertusi formation. The maturity of natural gas in Shunbei No. 1 and No. 5 fault zones is about 1.0%, which is the associated gas of normal crude oil, while the maturity of No. 4 and No. 8 fault zones is higher than 1.0%, which is the mixture of kerogen pyrolysis gas and crude oil pyrolysis gas. The variations in the drying coefficient and carbon isotope composition of the natural gas provide evidence for the migration patterns within the Shuntuoguole low uplift central region. It indicates that the Shunbei No. 5 and No. 8 fault zones have likely migrated from south to north, while the No. 4 fault zone has migrated from the middle to both the north and south sides. These migration patterns are primarily controlled by high and steep strike-slip faults, which facilitate the vertical migration of natural gas along fault planes. Consequently, the gas accumulates in fractured and vuggy reservoirs within the Ordovician formation.
