摘要:

四川盆地是我国重要的天然气生产基地。盆地内的威远气田氦浓度高,是我国最早实现氦气工业化利用的天然气田。安岳气田与威远气田同处乐山—龙女寺古隆起带,但其氦气含量显著低于后者。为了探究安岳气田贫氦的原因,研究系统分析、对比了安岳气田与威远气田天然气样品的气体组分和氮、稀有气体同位素特征,结合区域地质背景,剖析了安岳气田氦气成藏条件的制约因素。安岳气田天然气氦浓度为0.012%~0.089%,含氦样品(He>0.05%)仅占10%,集中分布于高石梯区块西缘的灯二段;含氦样品和贫氦样品显示不同的氦氮耦合富集趋势和氮同位素特征,前者与威远气田特征相近,其氦源可能为基底中酸性变质岩,后者氦氮来源可能为筇竹寺组泥页岩;氦源条件是制约安岳气田氦气富集的主要因素。此外,安岳气田天然气资源量巨大,气藏中充注的大量烃类气体对氦气具有严重的稀释作用;稀有气体同位素证据表明安岳气田中的气水作用明显弱于威远气田,相对平缓的构造圈闭和高储层压力制约了氦气通过地层水脱溶富集,以上两点也是安岳气田贫氦的重要原因。

Abstract:

The Sichuan Basin serves as a crucial natural gas production base in China. Within the basin, the Weiyuan gas field exhibits a high helium concentration and represents the first natural gas field in China to achieve industrial helium utilization. Both the Anyue and Weiyuan gas fields are situated within the Leshan-Longnvsi paleo-uplift belt, but the helium content of the Anyue field is significantly lower than that of Weiyuan. To investigate the causes of helium deficiency in the Anyue gas field, this study systematically analyzes and compares the gas composition, nitrogen, and noble gas isotope characteristics of natural gas samples from both fields. The constraints on helium accumulation conditions in the Anyue field are also analyzed in conjunction with the regional geological background. The helium concentration in natural gas from the Anyue gas field ranges from 0.012% to 0.089%. Only 10% of the samples contain helium concentrations exceeding 0.05% (He>0.05%), and these are concentrated in the Deng-2 Member of the Sinian Dengying Formation at the western edge of the Gaoshiti block. The helium-containing and helium-poor samples exhibit distinct helium-nitrogen coupling enrichment trends and nitrogen isotope signatures. The former group resembles the characteristics observed in the Weiyuan gas field, suggesting a possible helium source from intermediate-acid metamorphic rocks. In contrast, the helium and nitrogen in the latter group may originate from the mud shales of the Qiongzhusi Formation. The availability of a helium source is identified as the primary factor constraining helium enrichment in the Anyue gas field. Additionally, the Anyue gas field possesses enormous natural gas reserves. The massive influx of hydrocarbon gases into the reservoir significantly dilutes the helium concentration. Noble gas isotope evidence further indicates that gas-water interaction within the Anyue field is considerably weaker than in the Weiyuan field. The combination of gentler structural traps and higher reservoir pressure restricts the exsolution and enrichment of helium via formation water. These two factors are also crucial reasons for the helium deficiency in the Anyue gas field.
