Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Geofluids plays a very important role in the transmission and exchange of materials and energy, mineralization and oil/gas formation, and climate and environmental changes, and is one of the most important frontiers of geoscience research . Fluid and melt inclusions are the only specimens of geological fluids preserved in nature, and they are irreplaceable in the study of geological fluids.

This Special Issue, entitled "Advances in Fluid Inclusions and Geofluids", will mainly reflect the latest research presented at the 21st biennial national conference of "Fluid Inclusions and Geofluids" (Oct, Guilin, China), and also welcomes manuscripts with the same theme from around the world. The contents of this Special Issue include fluid inclusion and geofluids research in hydrothermal metallogenic systems, oil and gas reservoir forming systems, the epigenetic process (salt), the magmatic process, the metamorphic process, synthetic inclusions, and the P-V-T-X properties of geofluids, etc.

We hope that the publication of this Special Issue will provide examples in many related geological fields, present new methods and ideas , and promote research into fluid inclusions and Geofluids

The Pulang copper deposit, formed in the Late Triassic, is the largest porphyry Cu-Mo-Au deposit in the eastern Tethys, and its genetic type and mineralization potential have received widespread attention. Identifying the characteristics of ore-forming fluids and the sources of ore-forming materials in the deep and peripheral ore bodies of Pulang is particularly important for constructing a complete porphyry copper mineralization system. Based on detailed core logging and geological observations, this article provides extensive petrographic, fluid inclusion micro-thermometry, laser Raman spectroscopy, and H-O-S isotope data on the veins of the main mineralization stage (B veins) in the first mining area and eastern ore section of the Pulang porphyry copper deposit. The genetic correlation between the eastern ore section and the first mining area is clarified, and their mineralization potential is inferred. The results indicate that the deep vein bodies in the first mining area exhibit multi-stage characteristics, and the fluid in B veins exhibits both high-temperature and salinity characteristics. The magma-derived early ore-forming fluids underwent processes such as boiling and experienced immiscibility during meteoric water mixing, which could be the primary mechanism of the precipitation of Cu, Mo, Au, and other metals. The outer eastern ore section is located in a medium-to-low-temperature hydrothermal mineralization zone far from the mineralization center. This outer eastern ore section is a distant part of the magmatic–hydrothermal system of the first mining area. Full article

Oilfield water contains valuable geological information and plays an important role in petroliferous basins, being closely related to diagenesis, reservoir physical properties, and hydrocarbon preservation conditions. Here we present a case study of oilfield water in Permian formations in the western periphery of the Mahu Sag, Junggar Basin, China. The genesis of oilfield water and its application in oil exploration were investigated through the coupling of tectonic activity, paleoclimate, and water–rock interaction. Volcanic activity provided a rich source of ions, and a hot paleoclimate intensifies the evaporation and concentration of sedimentary water. Tectonic fractures offered channels for water exchange among formations. Water–rock reactions, marked by sodic feldspathization and calcium feldspar dissolution, had profound effects on the oilfield water type and reservoir properties. We established a link between oilfield water and favorable targets for oil exploration. In terms of vertical trends, the Jiamuhe and Upper and Lower Urho formations have strong sealing abilities for hydrocarbon preservation. In the horizontal dimension, areas with high total-dissolved-solid and CaCl2 concentrations, low rNa/rCl, rSO4 × 100/rCl, (rHCO3+CO3)/rCa, and rMg/rCa ratios are favorable for oil exploration.

The Wufeng–Longmaxi Formation in northern Guizhou Province is the dominant shale gas exploration and development strata in China. This study investigates the Shixi and Daozhen synclines, which are located in the basin margin transition zone. This region experienced complex tectonic stages and superimposed transformations, resulting in heterogeneous preservation conditions and shale reservoir pressure evolution in different tectonic units of the Wufeng–Longmaxi Formation. Based on fluid inclusion analysis, the types of fluid inclusion and the fluid filling stages of the Wufeng–Longmaxi shale reservoir were determined by laser Raman analysis and homogenization temperature and salinity tests. It was found that the fluid inclusion density and paleopressure in each filling stage were then restored. The results confirm that: ① Both the Shixi syncline and Daozhen syncline Wufeng–Longmaxi shale reservoirs experienced two fluid filling phases, in the early Yanshanian and late Yanshanian–Himalayan, respectively. In the course of tectonic evolution, the Wufeng–Longmaxi Formation in the Shixi and Daozhen synclines experienced pressure relief to some extent during the two aforementioned key fluid charging periods but remained in overpressurized states overall; ② The Wufeng–Longmaxi Formations of the Shixi and Daozhen synclines are characterized by high-density methane inclusions; ③ Based on the differences in the structural preservation conditions, the pressure evolution mechanisms of the Wufeng–Longmaxi Formation Shales during the important tectonic evolution period in northern Guizhou Province were revealed. Furthermore, differential enrichment and accumulation models of shale gas were established and named “facing thrust structural sealing type (Shixi syncline)” and “reverse fault lateral blocking type (Daozhen syncline)”.
