  • Intergrowth zeolites, i.e. MFI/MOR and BEA/MOR with approximate phase compositions, were hydrothermally synthesized using seed-mediated growth method. The two series of intergrowths were treated by combined alkali-acid treatments for introduction of mesoporous structure. The compositional and structural properties of both synthesized and modified materials were characterized upon the methods of X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 adsorption-desorption at 77 K, scanning and transmission electron microscopes (SEM/TEM), and inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES). As a result, the changes in initial SiO2/Al2O3 ratio and crystallization conditions concerning T/K, t/h and pH affected the framework Si/Al ratio and phase composition of zeolite intergrowths, and the modified intergrowths were shown to have crystalline hierarchical porous structures, especially for BEA/MOR(t) featuring of the narrower mesopore size distribution. The porous structure properties and phase composition were related to the structural stability of zeolite phases in both intergrowths. Moreover, the zeolite phases related to small primary crystal size and low framework stability were etched preferentially by alkaline media, leading to reductions in weight fraction of MFI and BEA phases. In addition, framework Si/Al ratios of modified zeolites were increased due to final acid extraction.

  • A fault system is one of the main geological factors controlling the formation and preservation of hydrocarbon reservoirs in Weibei Sag. The Weibei Sag is characterized by a complex fault system and multiple fault configurations. Unfortunately, previous studies had rarely focused on the overall fault systems and their controlling effect on hydrocarbon accumulation. Based on the seismic interpretation of the whole Weibei sag and geochemical data, the control of fault systems on hydrocarbon accumulation in this sag especially on the pathway of the sag was system atically studied. The following results were obtained:The faults can be grouped into 4 fault systems:NWW direction fault system, NW direction fault system, LiyuZaohu fault system and NNE direction fault system according to the fault strike. The fault configurations of the 4 fault systems mainly included strike-slip extensional fault configurations such as fault terrace type,“Y”-shaped type, anti-“Y”-shaped type and negative flower type. They were mostly formed in the extensional-rift period stage in which most faults of this sag were formed and influenced by several strike-slip extrusion. It was concluded that fault systems with different strikes played different rules in controlling hydrocarbon accumulation. The deep-rooted major faults exerted control effect on the distribution of gas fields and the evolution of the basin. The NW direction and NNE direction fault systems acted as the major pathways for hydrocarbon migration and indicated the direction of hydrocarbon,the Liyu-Zaohu fault system controlled the formation of most effective traps in the sag on account of it was on the dominant migration path and its good fault sealing and good reservoir property improved by minor faults.

  • The successful exploration of natural gas in Shahezi formation opened the prelude for sandy conglomerate gas in faulted formation of Xujiaweizi depression in Songliao basin.Sandy conglomerateare characteristics by high interstitial fillings, complex types and various origins.The relationship between interstitial material and sandy conglomerate is unclear, which restricts the effective reservoir prediction.According to characterization of thin section, scanning electron microscope, X diffraction, physical testing, the types of interstitial fillings and the influence on sandy conglomerate reservoir are analyzed. The results show that the interstitial material types include mud matrix, volcano ash, carbonate, siliceous,clay minerals, pyrite,etc.The main interstitial fillings are mud matrix and carbonate,followed by clay minerals, silica and volcanic ash,with pyrite seldom developed.Mudmatrix and volcano ashare sedimentary fillings,silica and clay minerals are formed in the early to middle diageneticstage, and carbonate cements are mostly developed in late diagenetic stages.The relationship between interstitial fillings types and rock porosity indicates that mudmatrix plugs the pore throat and reduces original pore greatly. Siliceous cementation and chlorite cladding in the early diagenetic stage increase reservoir strength, which is conducive to the preservation of primary porosity. The volcano ash is easy to be dissolved, which is favorable for the development of secondary pores.Large poresare devided into small pores by clay mineral and a large number of micro pores are provided,so clay mineral content and the porosity are negatively correlated.Residual poresare filled by late carbonate cements,which increase the density of sandy conglomerate.
