Wang Xiaomei, Wang Zhenliang. Analysis on groundwater hydrodynamic systems of the Mesozoic in the central Ordos Basin[J]. 2008, 29(4): 479-484.DOI: 10.11743/ogg20080410.
Groundwater serves as the carrier for hydrocarbon migration.The modes of groundwater occurrence have an effect on hydrocarbon migration
accumulation
and distribution in a basin.Therefore
a correct division of groundwater hydrodynamic systems can be a useful guidance for hydrocarbon exploration and development. The analyses of the present groundwater pressure field
geochemical field and stable isotope features of the Mesozoic (T
3
y-K) in central Ordos Basin revealed three kinds of groundwater hydrodynamic systems of various characteristics.They are the relative open zone in the shallower part
the transitional zone in the middle part
and the relative confining zone in the deeper part.The relative confining zone in the deeper part has the most favorable conditions for hydrocarbon preservation and can be the target for future exploration.
