    青藏高原南部南北地堑系温泉气体地球化学特征与演化过程

    Geochemical characteristics and evolution process for hot spring gas of the north-south graben system in Qinghai-Xizang Plateau

    • 摘要: 目前对青藏高原南部单个地热田的水文地球化学演化过程认识比较清晰,但各个地堑系的热泉气体来源和空间特征及演化过程并不清楚。通过青藏高原南部三个地堑(错那-沃卡、亚东-谷露、申扎-定结)的16个热泉气体采样测试,研究分析了地热气体组分和同位素特征、地热气体来源以及各地热气体物质含量与状态和地下热储温度空间关系。以“地幔缝合线”为分界,识别了青藏高原南部三种类型的热泉气体,取得以下结论:(1)“地幔缝合线”南北侧的温泉气体经历了明显差异的演化过程,且青藏高原南部部分温泉气体发生脱气分馏现象。(2)温泉气体中氦、碳主要来源于地壳,并且氦的运移主要依附于二氧化碳的流动。(3)研究区热储温度存在明显差异,亚东—谷露地堑温度较高(225 °C)。研究对解译青藏高原南部构造与地热气体及地热田的相关性提供了见解与帮助。气体地球化学特征及其演化过程的探究对于深入理解研究地下地质过程以及地热资源的开发与利用具有重要意义。

       

      Abstract: While the hydrogeochemical characteristics of a single geothermal field in Qinghai-Xizang Plateau are well understood, the study of hot spring gases in various graben systems and their spatial characteristics and evolutionary processes, remains insufficiently explored. The study reported 16 hot spring gases from three grabens (Cuona-Woka garben, Yadong-Gulu garben and Shenzha-Dingjie garben) in Qinghai-Xizang Plateau. The composition and isotopic characteristics as well as the sources of hot spring gas were analyzed. Additionally, the relationship between the content of hot spring gas and the reservior temperature was conducted in the three garbens. Three types of gases were distinguished in Qinghai-Xizang Plateau by using the "mantle suture line" as the boundary. The results show that hot spring gases in the north and south sides of the boundary have undergone different evolutionary processes, with some samples in the south showing evidence of degassing and fractionation. The sources of helium and carbon isotopes in the hot spring gases are mainly derived from the crust, and the migration of helium is dependent on the flow of carbon dioxide. There aer significant differences of reservior temperature in the three garbens, with a higher temperature (225 °C) in the Yadong-Gulu graben. This study provides insights in understanding the relationship between structures, hot spring gases, and geothermal fields in Qinghai-Xizang Plateau. The exploration of gas geochemical characteristics and their evolutionary processes are significant for the understanding of the underground geological processes and the exploitation and utilization of geothermal resources.
