Abstract:

After nearly 60 years of exploration and development, Fuyang oil layer in Fuxin Uplift still remains one of the most important hydrocarbon accumulation zones in Southern Songliao Basin.However, the structural setting of Fuxin Uplift is complex:faults are densely developed, the contacts between oil, gas and water layers are extremely complex, and the process of hydrocarbon migration and accumulation and the hydrocarbon enrichment pattern stay to be identified.These factors greatly restrict further efforts made for hydrocarbon exploration and development.Following the analysis of the origin and the vertical and horizontal distribution patterns of formation water in Fuyang oil layer on the northern slope of Fuxin Uplift, we dissected the typical reservoir profiles in key areas, and made an in-depth discussion on the coupling relations between formation water characteristics and hydrocarbon migration, accumulation and enrichment in Fuyang oil layer in Fuxin Uplift in combination with analysis of formation pressure and source rocks.Vertically, five hydrochemical zones can be identified in Fuxin Uplift:diluted zones from meteoric water percolation, diluted zone from compaction, concentrated zone from dissolution, diluted zone from clay mineral dehydration, as well as concentrated zone from over flow.In the plane, the Xinbei and Xinli nose-like structural zones in the study area are the areas where two major centrifugal flows converge and result in cross-formational flow, leading to the high consistency between zones of high salinity and high sodium chloride coefficient and zones of hydrocarbon enrichment.The oil source conditions are relatively better in the intra-source and near-source hydrocarbon accumulation zones, and the depth of hydrocarbon-bearing fluid disturbance is deeper, favorable for hydrocarbon accumulation.However, the source rocks in out-of-source hydrocarbon accumulation zones are low in maturity, and the depth of hydrocarbon-bearing fluid disturbance is shallow, unfavorable for hydrocarbon accumulation.

Key words: hydrochemistry of formation water, hydrocarbon migration, hydrocarbon accumulation, Fuxin Uplift, Songliao Basin
