Ahead of Print Abstract
pressure and natural gas characteristics have been integrated to delineate the natural gas dynamic accumulation process and summarize the accumulation model of DF1-1 diapir. Results suggest that four-period natural gas with different composition have been documented. The first and second stage hydrocarbon gas-dominated charging occurred at 3.4-2.9 Ma and 1.8-0.4 Ma, respectively. The third and fourth acts of gas charging were dry gas and inorganic CO2, which occurred at 0.4-0 Ma. The paleo-pressure evolution of HL1 Formation was reconstructed following a model of “pressurization-release-pressurization”. And the coupling relationship between the Formation paleo-pressure evolution and the natural gas charge history was elucidated. Based on these analyses, this conformed to an overpressure-controlled episodic gas accumulation model, and the accumulation process can be summarized as follows: initially, gas accumulated in deep reservoirs, with formation pressure increasing to fracture pressure, leading to diapir opening and subsequent gas loss or adjustment to shallower reservoirs along diapir faults for further accumulation. Simultaneously, gas filled the reservoirs and episodic diapir activity in the later stages resulted in rapid gas charging. This process is the primary factor contributing to the heterogeneity of gas distribution.
