Abstract:
Based on the data of coalfield drilling and geological information, using the back-stripping technique, the subsidence history of northern Qinshui basin is studied in this paper. The study shows that this area experienced three stages of subsidence and two stages of uplift since Permo-Carboniferous period. It subsided slowly from Late Carboniferous to middle Permian and then subsided rapidly from Late Permian to Triassic period. It uplifted and denuded from Jurassic period to Cretaceous because of Yanshan movement and continued to uplift and denude since Cenozoic because of Himalayan movement and then subsided from Neocene to Quaternary period. The subsidence center mainly migrated from the south to the north since late Paleozoic. The denudation in the east is more than in the west and the largest denudation thickness is over 1000 m.

Abstract:
A one-dimensional, fluid flow/compaction model has been developed for petroleum explorationists to make quantitative studies of sedimentary basins. The following results can be obtained from the model: (1) basement subsidence (sediment load and tectonic effect); (2) structural evolution; (3) determination of erosion thickness of an unconformity; (4) changes of porosity, permeability, fluid flow rate and pore pressure with time and depth; (5) heat flow history; (6) temperature change with time and depth; (7) the value of thermal maturity indicators which change with time and depth; (8) hydrocarbon generation history including time and depth of peak hydrocarbon generation; and (9) prediction of possible directions of hydrocarbon migration and accumulation with time. The model is applicable to both frontier basins where only a few wells have been drilled and also to well-developed basins. The input data for the model are based mainly on commonly used geological and geochemical data from one well in a frontier basin or on similar data from many wells in a well-developed basin. Fifty-eight wells in the northern North Sea Basin have been used to reconstruct the geohistory, thermal history and hydrocarbon generation and migration history of the northern North Sea. The results accurately conformed to the well data, allowing determination of hydrocarbon generation amounts, migration times and accumulation sites, which are helpful for further hydrocarbon exploration in the northern North Sea Basin.

Full text
Abstract:
As part of a larger petroleum system analysis and resource re-evaluation research program in the Gippsland Basin, over 400 samples from 29 selected wells in the Gippsland Basin were investigated using quantitative fluorescence techniques developed by CSIRO Petroleum, including the quantitative grain fluorescence (QGF) and QGF on extracts (QGF-E) and the total scanning fluorescence (TSF) techniques. Preliminary results have provided new insight into the hydrocarbon migration and charge history of the Gippsland Basin. The investigation has revealed: widespread occurrence of palaeo oil columns in some of the major gas fields, indicating that a significant amount of oil was charged into these reservoirs prior to a subsequent gas accumulation; that some of the current oil intervals appear to have received a relatively late oil charge, either through new charge or through palaeo oil re-distribution due to adjustments within the petroleum system; palaeo oil columns appear to be restricted to a certain distance range from the major source kitchens; and, evidence of a sequential oil migration and displacement along structural highs where reservoirs distal to the source kitchens received progressively lighter and more mature palaeo oils. These findings are consistent with the oil generation and migration model proposed by O’Brien et al (2008). Fluid inclusion petrographic investigations and molecular composition of inclusions (MCI) analysis are currently underway that will provide additional information on the hydrocarbon charge history in the Gippsland Basin.

Abstract:
Temperature history is one of the most important factors driving subsidence and the overall tectono-stratigraphic evolution of a sedimentary basin. The McKenzie model has been widely applied for subsidence modelling and stretching factor estimation for sedimentary basins formed in an extensional tectonic environment. Subsidence modelling requires values of physical parameters (e.g., crustal thickness, lithospheric thickness, stretching factor) that may not always be available. With a given subsidence history of a basin estimated using a stratigraphic backstripping method, these parameters can be estimated by quantitatively comparing the known subsidence curve with modelled subsidence curves. In this contribution, a method to compare known and modelled subsidence curves is presented, aiming to constrain valid combinations of the stretching factor, crustal thickness, and lithospheric thickness of a basin. Furthermore, a numerical model is presented that takes into account the effect of sedimentary cover on thermal history and subsidence modelling of a basin. The parameter fitting method presented here is first applied to synthetically generated subsidence curves. Next, a case study using a known subsidence curve from the Campos Basin, offshore Brazil, is considered. The range of stretching factors estimated for the Campos basin from this study is in accordance with previous work, with an additional estimate of corresponding lithospheric thickness. This study provides insight into the dependence of thermal history and subsidence modelling methods on assumptions regarding model input parameters. This methodology also allows for the estimation of valid combinations of physical lithospheric parameters, where the subsidence history is known.

Full text
Abstract:
The dual issues of the presence or absence of a viable, oil-prone petroleum system and reservoir quality represent key exploration uncertainties in the lightly explored Offshore Canning Basin, North West Shelf. To better quantify these factors, a detailed fluid inclusion investigation of potential reservoir horizons within the basin has been undertaken. The results have been integrated with regional petroleum geology and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) oil seep data to better understand the oil migration risk in the region.The fluid inclusion data provide confirmation of widespread oil migration at multiple Mesozoic and Palaeozoic levels, including those wells that are remote from the likely source kitchens. The lack of evidence for present or palaeo-oil accumulations is consistent with the proposition that none of the currently water-wet wells appear to have tested a valid structure. These observations, when combined with the presence of numerous direct hydrocarbon indicators on seismic data and a number of oil slicks (from SAR data) at the basin’s edge, suggest that the potential for oil charge to valid structures is much higher than previously recognised.Petrographic analysis of the tight, gas-bearing, Triassic sandstones in Phoenix–1 suggests that the low porosity and permeability is the result of late poikilotopic carbonate cement. Significantly, the presence of oil inclusions within quartz overgrowths that pre-date the carbonate indicates that oil migration began prior to crystallisation of carbonate. Fluid inclusion palaeotemperatures combined with a 1D basin model suggest that trapping of oil as inclusions occurred in the Early to Middle Cretaceous and that predictions of reservoir quality using available water-wet wells could seriously under-estimate porositypermeability levels in potential traps that were charged with oil at about 100 Ma. Indeed, acid leaching of core plugs from Phoenix–1 indicates that removal of diagenetic carbonate results in significant permeability increase with obvious implications for the producibility of any future oil discovery. Further, evidence of Early Cretaceous oil charge has implications for the size and locality of source kitchens compared to that observed at the current day.Collectively, the data indicate the area has received widespread oil migration and suggest future exploration, even to relatively deep levels, may be successful if valid traps can be delineated.

Full text
Abstract:
AbstractThree radiocarbon-dated cores from small lakes provide pollen records of postglacial vegetation change in the central Mackenzie River basin. These data are combined with previously published records to reconstruct vegetation development from central Alberta to the Mackenzie delta. The paleoecological data demonstrate that a continuous corridor of herb-and-shrub-dominated vegetation extended between Beringia and the Great Plains of North America from deglaciaiton until about 10,000 yr B.P. The initial vegetation was replaced by spruce forests between 10,000 and 8500 yr B.P. Significant vegetation change continued until approximately 500 yr B.P. when the muskeg-dominated landscape typical of the present subarctic was established. The initial herb-and-shrub vegetation was likely a reprise of conditions which existed during earlier Pleistocene deglaciations. These conditions may have provided a favorable environment for animals adapted to nonforested vegetation and promoted migration southward from Beringia and northward from the Great Plains during the last deglaciation and earlier Pleistocene deglaciations. The sequence of postglacial vegetation change in the Mackenzie basin likely reflects a combination of climatic change, edaphic change, and plant migration patterns and interactions.

Abstract:
The results of recent archaeological research in the Upper Nile basin are summarized and placed within the context of the anthropological-historical debate concerning the origins of the Nuer, Dinka and Atuot as distinct ethnic groupings. The archaeological evidence demonstrates a considerable antiquity for cattle-keeping in the region, the existence of what appears to be a very widespread cultural tradition in the late first millennium a.d. characterized by a distinctive form of burial, and a hiatus in settlement in the area east of Rumbek early in the present millennium, possibly around the time when humped cattle were introduced further north. The implications of these data for the explanation of the origins of the Luo migrations are discussed.

Abstract:
The development of systematic mathematics requires writing, and hence a non-literate culture cannot be expected to advance mathematics beyond the stage of numeral words and counting. The hundreds of languages of the Australian aborigines do not seem to have included any extensive numeral systems. However, the common assertions to the effect that ‘Aborigines have only one, two, many’ derive mostly from reports by nineteenth century Christian missionaries, who commonly understood less mathematics than did the people on whom they were reporting. Of course, in recent decades almost all Aborigines have been involved with the dominant European-style culture of Australia, and even those who are not literate have mostly learned to use English-style numerals and to handle money. Similar qualifications should be understood when speaking of any recent primitive culture.

Abstract:
The Indus basin civilization (3000–1500 BC) is thought to have collapsed due to the Indus river shifting its course, and unchecked salinization of the irrigated land. Though modern irrigation practices in the Indus basin do not have to worry about the river shifting its course, a priority concern should be the basin's salt profile. Despite attempts to deal with the problem since the 1960 s, the net result is still an increasing salt balance which threatens the system's sustainability. This paper explores what it means to manage risk, and then applies these insights to a narrative history of the Indus basin. Particular focus is placed on the basin's current management since it will shape how irrigation is managed in the future. A key lesson to derive is that given the short-term nature of decision-making in the basin, any significant change has to address the political reality whereby politicians exert influence over water allocations in order to safeguard their political lives.
