| الوصف: | Geological conditions and main controlling factors of gas accumulation in subsalt Ma 4 Member of Ordovician Majiagou Formation are examined based on large amounts of drilling, logging and seismic data. The new understandings on the control of paleo-uplift over facies, reservoirs and accumulations are reached: (1) During the sedimentary period of Majiagou Formation, the central paleo-uplift divided the North China Sea in central-eastern of the basin from the Qinqi Sea at southwest margin of the basin, and controlled the deposition of the thick hummocky grain beach facies dolomite on platform margin of Ma 4 Member. Under the influence of the evolution of the central paleo-uplift, the frame of two uplifts alternate with two sags was formed in the central-eastern part of the basin, dolomite of inner-platform beach facies developed in the underwater low-uplift zones, and marl developed in the low-lying areas between uplifts. (2) From the central paleo-uplift to the east margin of the basin, the dolomite in the Ma 4 Member gradually becomes thinner and turns into limestone. The lateral sealing of the limestone sedimentary facies transition zone gives rise to a large dolomite lithological trap. (3) During the late Caledonian, the basin was uplifted as a whole, and the central paleo-uplift was exposed and denuded to various degrees; high-quality Upper Paleozoic Carboniferous—Permian coal measures source rocks deposited on the paleo-uplift in an area of 60 000 km2 providing large-scale hydrocarbon for the dolomite lithological traps in the underlying Ma 4 Member. (4) During the Indosinian—Yanshanian stage, the basin tilted westwards, and central paleo-uplift depressed into an efficient hydrocarbon supply window. The gas from the Upper Paleozoic source rock migrated through the high porosity and permeability dolomite in the central paleo-uplift to and accumulated in the updip high part; meanwhile, the subsalt marine source rock supplied gas through the Caledonian faults and micro-fractures as a significant supplementary. Under the guidance of the above new understandings, two favorable exploration areas in the Ma 4 Member in the central-eastern basin were sorted out. Two risk exploration wells were deployed, both revealed thick gas-bearing layer in Ma 4 Member, and one of them tapped high production gas flow. The study has brought a historic breakthrough in the gas exploration of subsalt Ma 4 Member of Ordovician, and opened up a new frontier of gas exploration in the Ordos Basin. |
