Abstract
Abstract Deep energy fields in the Tahe Oilfield are studied and the relationship between energy fields and hydrocarbon migration and accumulation is discussed through the comprehensive analyses of energy field characteristics. Multi-phase tectonic stresses are the main controlling factor of the developmental morphologies of the present fractures. The characteristics of the present regional tectonic stress indicate that the Tahe Oilfield is a favorable area for hydrocarbon collection. The present pressure field of the Ordovician is a slightly low abnormal pressure system. The fluid potential characteristics show that there are two hydrocarbon migration trends: one is from east to west in part of the eastern area, and the other is from south to north in the whole southern area. The present formation water is of typical CaCl 2 type. According to the formation water geochemistry, the Tahe Oilfield has a good seal capability, favorable for hydrocarbon accumulation and preservation. Aqueous inclusions indicate that homogenization temperatures are mainly 80–100°C, 120–130°C, and 150–170°C, therein, 80–100°C and 120–130°C represent two large scale hydrocarbon accumulation phases, Early Hercynian and Himalayan, and 150–170°C is controlled by tectonic event and Permian magmatic activities, representing a partial hydrocarbon accumulation event.
