Lateral Explusion of Pore Fluids during Vertical Loading of Sedimetary Strata

该项目进行了为期两年的横向驱逐研究， 孔隙流体的垂直加载造成的沉积 地层的构造和沉积过程。 研究 侧重于1）压实和地形驱动的横向流动， 沉积层中物质和热量输送的机制，2） 孔隙水的流动模式的变化所造成的 孔隙度和渗透率的时空变化，3） 地球化学和古地磁证据和限制 侧流，以及4）将这些结果应用于侧流 阿巴拉契亚山脉的孔隙流体和碳氢化合物的迁移， 科尔维尔前陆盆地和北方墨西哥湾沿岸被动 裕度 该项目的目标是更好地了解 孔隙流体运移和成岩作用在沉积层中的作用 并能够在定量上使用这些信息， 流体排出作为热质作用机理的评价 在沉积盆地中迁移。

The project carries out a two year study of lateral expulsion of pore fluids resulting from vertical loading of sedimentary strata by both tectonic and depositional processes. The study focusses on 1) compaction and topography-driven lateral flow as a mechanism of mass and heat transport in sedimentary layers, 2) variations in the flow pattern of pore water caused by the temporal and spatial changes in porosity and permeability, 3) geochemical and paleomagnetic evidence for and constraints on lateral flow, and 4) application of these results to the lateral migration of pore fluids and hydrocarbons in the Appalachian and Colville Foreland Basins and the Northern Gulf Coast Passive Margin. The objective of the project is to better understand the role of pore fluid migration and diagenesis in sedimentary layers and to be able to use this information quantitatively in the evaluation of fluid expulsion as a mechanism for heat and mass transfer in sedimentary basins.
