Abstract

Abstract

Study of geothermal regime of sedimentary basin is not only vital for understanding the formation and evolution of the basin, but also is of significance for oil and gas generation and preservation in the basin. Temperature data from about 120 exploration wells and measured values of thermal conductivity of 296 rock samples from Tarim basin are used to calculate the present-day geothermal gradient, subsurface formation temperature at the depths of 1 000-5 000 m and the top of source rocks concerned, respectively. The results show that thermal regime of the area is relatively lower with an average geothermal gradient of 23.3 ℃/km and heat flow of 47.3 mW/m²; suggesting that the Permian intensive magmatism in the Tarim basin has no obvious effect on the present-day temperature field. The general pattern of subsurface temperature distribution at different depths is similar to that of the geothermal gradient and heat flow and is featured by higher parameters in the uplift areas and lower ones in the depressions, indicating the influence of base topography configuration on the temperature field. The source rocks of the Bachu Formation, Kalashayi Formation and Lianglitage Formation in the area are predicted to be within favorable hydrocarbon preservation condition now, while the middle and lower Cambrian source rocks are in the Bachu uplift, northwestern Katake uplift and eastern Guchengxu uplift areas, and the unfavorable preservation condition is inferred in other left region. Particularly, it is found that the discovered oil and gas fields are usually accompanied by anomalous high temperature, and the upward migration and accumulation of hot fluid below is speculated to explain this perfect coincidence. The finding of temperature pattern and distribution of oil and gas field can provide some insights for future exploration.
