Mechanism of Early Post-Rift Normal Faults in the Central Songliao Basin, Northeastern China

摘要: 在松辽盆地后裂谷早期的沉积地层里广泛发育着一个长度相对短、走向变化相对大的正断层系.大庆太平屯区块高精度三维地震勘探结果的构造研究表明, 该层伸展率可达0.0594±0.0209, 由此向上或向下发生明显的减少.这与裂谷盆地地层的伸展率自下而上一般呈单调递减是不一致的, 意味着单纯的区域拉伸不能够解释这种反常现象.笔者认为在成岩过程中沉积物可能发生的体积收缩应该是导致这种伸展率异常的主要原因.文中分析了造成体积收缩的3种可能机制: 生烃、伊利石化脱水和压实收缩, 其中最主要的是压实收缩机制.此外, 构造应力场也明显地影响着该断层系的形成, 造成断层走向分布具有一定的方向性.Abstract: In the Songliao basin, a network of normal faults, characterized by relative variability in strike and short length, was widely produced in sediments accumulated during the early post rifting.Based upon 3-D high-resolution seismic data from the Taipingtun block in the Daqing oilfield, a systematic study of faults in the block was made in this paper.Calculated extensional strain is 0.0594±0.0209 in these rocks, and turns markedly smaller in the above or the below layers.This is inconsistent with the generally monotonous increase of extensional strain in rift basin with buried depth, implying that the simple regional extension could not account for this abnormal phenomenon, in turn.Volumetric contraction in the process of compaction, in our opinion, is the main reason for this phenomenon.Three main possible mechanisms for such layer-parallel shortening are hydrocarbon generation, transformation from smectite to illite, and lateral compaction, among which the last is considered the most important mechanism in this case.In addition, the preferred orientation of these normal faults indicates the influence of tectonic stress, although relatively slight, on their propagation.
