摘要

基于含气地层氦气体积分数测试数据，结合周缘岩浆岩的地球化学特征与年代学分析，系统研究岩浆活动与氦气空间分布的耦合关系，并针对氦气供给、运移通道、储集条件及成藏期次等关键因素，构建岩浆活动影响氦气富集的动力学模型，探讨晚侏罗世—早白垩世岩浆活动对氦气富集、运移及保存的控制作用，为鄂尔多斯盆地氦气资源勘探提供理论依据与创新思路。研究发现，盆地北部氦气富集显著，庆阳、宜川、鄂尔多斯及石西地区平均体积分数大于0.09%，呈现“沉积坳陷低值区→盆地边缘高值带”的环状分异规律。周缘岩浆活动集中于160~100 Ma（晚侏罗世—早白垩世），其时空分布与氦气高丰度区、成藏关键期高度匹配，指示幔源岩浆上涌可能通过热-流-力多场耦合作用促进氦气富集。研究认为，鄂尔多斯盆地氦气富集受控于晚中生代幔源岩浆活动的多尺度效应，表现为岩浆热事件对氦源活化、运移通道构建及圈闭形成的系统性调控。由此提出富氦气藏勘探应聚焦晚侏罗世—早白垩世岩体侵位中心，采用“由岩体核部向外围扩散”的靶区优选策略。

Abstract

By integrating helium volume fraction data from gas-bearing strata with geochemical and geochronological analyses of peripheral magmatic rocks

we systematically examined the spatiotemporal coupling between magmatism and helium distribution. A dynamic model was established to elucidate the influence of magmatic activity on helium enrichment

emphasizing key factors including helium sources

migration pathways

reservoir conditions

and accumulation episodes. This study focuses on investigating the controlling effects of Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous magmatic activity on helium enrichment

migration

and preservation in the Ordos Basin

aiming to provide theoretical foundations and innovative insights for helium resource exploration. Significant helium enrichment was identified in the northern Ordos Basin

particularly in the Qingyang

Yichuan

Dongsheng

and Shixi areas

where average helium fractions exceed 0.09%. The spatial pattern exhibits an annular differentiation trend

transitioning from low-value zones in sedimentary depressions to high-value belts along the basin margins. Magmatic activity in the basin periphery (160~100 Ma

Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous) demonstrates spatiotemporal synchronization with helium-rich zones and critical accumulation episodes. This correlation suggests that mantle-derived magma upwelling likely enhanced helium enrichment through thermo-fluid-mechanical coupling processes. Helium enrichment in the Ordos Basin is governed by multi-scale effects of Late Mesozoic mantle-derived magmatism

manifesting as systematic regulation of helium source activation

migration channel development

and trap formation by magmatic thermal events. Accordingly

we propose that helium-rich reservoir exploration should prioritize areas surrounding Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous pluton emplacement centers

adopting a target prioritization strategy of "radiating outward from pluton cores" to identify favorable gas reservoirs.
