Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

With ChatGPT dominating the media and sparking a new revolution in IT at the moment, how can the petroleum geoscience community catch up with the fast-paced IT industry? One way is to shift towards more quantitative and computer-modeling-oriented methods. Basin and petroleum system modeling (BPSM) started half a century ago when the computing capacity was no more than a fraction of our smart phone. It has now become a billion-dollar business globally. However, with petroleum exploration going to ultra-deep and super-complex parts of basins and with the emergence of shale oil and gas and carbon capture and storage (CCS), new developments and workflows in BPSM have sprouted rapidly. This Special Issue is focused on, but not limited to, innovative development and applications of integrated BPSM in exploring hydrocarbons in areas under extremely harsh conditions and unconventional places including ultra-deep reservoirs and shale oil, as well as site selection and screening for gas and CCS.

The eastern Kuqa Depression in the northern Tarim Basin, NW China, is rich in oil and gas. However, recent exploration has been hindered by a lack of knowledge on the evolution of the petroleum system. To address this, we conducted hydrocarbon generation and accumulation modeling using both the 2Dmove and PetroMod2017 software for a complex tectonic extrusion section in the Kuqa Depression. The results show that the source rocks in the northern slope zone became mature quite early at around 170 Ma, but the thermal maturity evolution stagnated subsequently because of tectonic extrusion and uplift. The source rocks in the central anticline zone, the southern slope zone, and the deep sag zone were of overall low maturity during the Jurassic to Paleogene but rapidly became mature to highly mature with the deposition of the Neogene Jidike and Kangcun formations. The main hydrocarbon generation periods are in the late Neogene and Quaternary, and the main hydrocarbon generation stratum is the lower Jurassic Yangxia formation. The amount of cumulative hydrocarbon generation gradually increases for carbonaceous mudstone, mudstone, and coal source rocks. Sourced from source rocks mainly in the northern slope zone, oil and gas migrated to anticlinal traps along sandstone transport layers and faults. Recent discoveries, such as the Tudong-2 gas field in the central anticline zone, underscore the richness of this region in petroleum resources. Some gas fields were also predicted in lithologic traps in the southern slope zone and the deep sag zone, as well as in fault-related traps in the northern part of the northern slope zone.

The source of oil and gas and the stages of oil and gas accumulation in the “double-Paleo” field of the HZ-A structure in the Pearl River Mouth Basin are analyzed, and the spatiotemporal coupling relationship of the key conditions of oil and gas accumulation are discussed to reconstruct the process of oil and gas accumulation. Based on previous research results, which are based the characteristics of biomarker compounds, the oil and gas in the HZ-A structure double Paleogene field came from the Paleogene Wenchang Formation hydrocarbon source rocks in the HZ26 sub-sag. By means of the casting thin section identification and inclusion homogenization temperature measurement, this paper reveals the three major hydrocarbon accumulation periods and corresponding fluid charging types in the “double-Paleo” field of the HZ-A structure in the Pearl River Mouth Basin. The results show that 13.8–10 Ma is the charging period of low mature crude oil, 10–5.3 Ma is the charging period of mature crude oil, and from 5.3 Ma is the natural gas charging period. Based on actual geological, drilling, logging, and seismic data, the key conditions for hydrocarbon accumulation in the HZ-A structure “double-Paleo” field are sorted out; that is, the source conditions are characterized by high-quality lacustrine source rocks generating early oil and late gas and a near-source continuous hydrocarbon supply. The reservoir conditions are characterized by weathering and superposition of a fracture zone that transforms into a reservoir, and a large-scale sandstone rock mass that transforms into a reservoir. The caprock conditions are characterized by the stacking of several thin mudstones that form a seal and the combination of multiple lithologies that block hydrocarbon migration. The trap conditions are characterized by multistage uplift structure traps and fracture-lithology combination control traps. The transport conditions are characterized by multi-stage cross-bed transport of source-connected faults and lateral differential transport of shallow sand in deep fractures. Finally, oil and gas accumulation models of the HZ-A structure double Paleogene field were established, and the accumulation process was reconstructed. The overall process involved three stages, with the first stage being the localized oil-displacing-water mode, the second being the large-scale oil-displacing-water mode, and the third being the late progressive gas-displacing-oil mode.
