Abstract

The multi-stage minerals filled in pore space were sequenced, and the charging stages of fluid and hydrocarbon were reconstructed based on the observation of drilling cores and thin sections, homogeneous temperature testing of fluid inclusions, Laser Raman composition analysis and isotope geochemical analysis. The Cambrian Longwangmiao Formation in the study area went through 5 stages of fluid charging, in which 3 stages, mid-late Triassic, early-mid Jurassic and early-mid Cretaceous, were related to oil and gas charging. Especially the oil and gas charging event in early-mid Cretaceous was the critical period of gas accumulation in the study area, and was recorded by methane gas inclusions in the late stage quartz. The 40Ar-39Ar dating of the 3rd stage methane inclusions shows that the natural gas charging of this stage was from 125.8±8.2 Ma. Analysis of Si, O isotopes and 87Sr/86Sr of the late stage quartz indicates that the fluid source of the quartz was formation water coming from long term evolution and concentration of meteoric water, but not from deep part or other sources, this also reflects that, in the critical charging period of natural gas, the Cambrian Longwangmiao Formation in Moxi structure had favorable conservation conditions for hydrocarbon accumulation, which was favorable for the formation of the Longwangmiao large natural gas pool.

Key words： Sichuan Basin; Moxi structure; Cambrian Longwangmiao Formation; fluid charging; fluid inclusions; hydrocarbon accumulation
