Abstract

Guided by the fundamental principles of the whole petroleum system, the controls of tectonism, sedimentation, and diagenesis on hydrocarbon accumulation in a fault basin is studied using the data of petroleum geology and exploration of the second member of the Paleogene Kongdian Formation (Kong-2 Member) in the Cangdong Sag, Bohai Bay Basin, China. It is clarified that the circle structure and circle effects are the marked features of a continental fault petroleum basin, and they govern the orderly distribution of conventional and unconventional hydrocarbons in the whole petroleum systems of the fault basin. Tectonic circle zones control sedimentary circle zones, while sedimentary circle zones and diagenetic circle zones control the spatial distribution of favorable reservoirs, thereby determining the hydrocarbon accumulation orderly distribution of reservoir types in various circles. A model for the integrated, systematic aggregation of conventional and unconventional hydrocarbons under a multi-circle structure of the whole petroleum system of continental fault basin has been developed. It reveals that each sub-basin of the fault basin is an independent whole petroleum system and circle system, which encompasses multiple orderly circles of conventional and unconventional hydrocarbons controlled by the same source kitchen. From the outer circle to the middle circle and then to the inner circle, there is an orderly transition from structural and stratigraphic reservoirs, to lithological and structural-lithological reservoirs, and finally to tight oil/gas and shale oil/gas enrichment zones. The significant feature of the whole petroleum system is the orderly control of hydrocarbons by multi-circle stratigraphic coupling, with the integrated, orderly distribution of conventional and unconventional reserves being the inevitable result of the multi-layered interaction within the whole petroleum system. This concept of multi-circle stratigraphic coupling for the orderly, integrated accumulation of conventional and unconventional hydrocarbons has guided significant breakthroughs in the overall, three-dimensional exploration and shale oil exploration in the Cangdong Sag.
