Abstract

Abstract

Accurately obtaining the key timings of hydrocarbon evolution in reservoirs is crucial for understanding the hydrocarbon accumulation process and improving the success rate of deep and ultra-deep hydrocarbon exploration. In recent years, with the improved precision of isotope analysis, radioactive isotope analysis of minerals related to hydrocarbon has become an effective approach to determine the key timings of hydrocarbon accumulation. Taking the Cambrian ultra-deep oil reservoir in the Xiongying area on the southern slope of the Kuqa depression, Tarim basin as the research object, this study focuses on calcite fluid inclusions in reservoirs and in-situ laser U-Pb isotope dating, to jointly constrain the evolution process of the oil reservoir and establish hydrocarbon accumulation model, on the basis of tectonic evolution and the basin burial history. The analysis of reservoir fluid inclusions shows three types of fluorescent oil inclusions and the results of three phases of different homogenization temperatures of associated aqueous inclusions, which jointly indicate that the Xiongying area has experienced three phases of hydrocarbon migration and accumulation since the Paleozoic, i.e., the end of the Silurian, the Permian, and since the Miocene. Moreover, the U-Pb dating results of reservoir calcite ((278.0±2.9)-(289.9±5.2) Ma) are highly consistent with the authigenic illite K-Ar ages (293-255 Ma) of reservoirs and the crude oil Re-Os ages (about 285 Ma), indicating that the Late Hercynian tectonic movement period (Permian) played an important role in the oil reservoir accumulation process.This study further confirms the feasibility of in-situ laser U-Pb isotope dating of reservoir calcite in accurately constraining the timing of hydrocarbon accumulation. The combined application of hydrocarbon accumulation geochronology and traditional hydrocarbon accumulation processes can help deeply understand the hydrocarbon evolution process of deep and ultra-deep multi-cyclic superimposed basins, and provide support for the exploration of deep and ultra-deep hydrocarbons including those in the Tarim basin.
