Geochemical Characteristics and the Origin of Superdeep Condensates in Tarim Basin, China.

ABSTRACT: A series of trace compounds (diamondoids, ethanodiamondoids, and thiadiamondoids) were detected through two-dimensional gas chromatography/time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC × GC-TOFMS) analysis of Ordovician condensate samples from the Tazhong area. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis showed that the biomarker parameters are less effective for high-maturity oils. Carbon isotope and geochemical features suggested that the gas is a high-temperature cracking gas when its temperature is higher than 170 °C. The H₂S content is 8.27%, suggesting that it is affected by thermochemical sulfate reduction (TSR). However, the geological analysis indicated that the Ordovician reservoirs do not satisfy the conditions for TSR. The high-maturity oil in the Ordovician reservoirs may generate diamondoids and ethanodiamondoids when cracking, while TSR and severe cracking occur in deep Cambrian source rocks and produce a large number of diamondoids, ethanodiamondoids, organic sulfur compounds (OSCs), etc. The secondary geochemical products that are carried up by the dry gas and migrate upward through faults and are enriched in Ordovician crude oil reservoirs. On this basis, we proposed that the condensate presented was formed by the mixing of dry gas from Cambrian oil that was altered by cracking and TSR into Ordovician in situ slightly cracked oil, therefore speculating that the favorable reservoir-seal assemblages in this area may contain abundant oil and gas resources. Consequently, improved knowledge of secondary alteration effects on the reservoir and underground fluids is vital for oil and gas prediction and exploration development in the next step.

Late Miocene episodic lakes in the arid Tarim Basin, western China.

Project description:The Tibetan Plateau uplift and Cenozoic global cooling are thought to induce enhanced aridification in the Asian interior. Although the onset of Asian desertification is proposed to have started in the earliest Miocene, prevailing desert environment in the Tarim Basin, currently providing much of the Asian eolian dust sources, is only a geologically recent phenomenon. Here we report episodic occurrences of lacustrine environments during the Late Miocene and investigate how the episodic lakes vanished in the basin. Our oxygen isotopic (δ(18)O) record demonstrates that before the prevailing desert environment, episodic changes frequently alternating between lacustrine and fluvial-eolian environments can be linked to orbital variations. Wetter lacustrine phases generally corresponded to periods of high eccentricity and possibly high obliquity, and vice versa, suggesting a temperature control on the regional moisture level on orbital timescales. Boron isotopic (δ(11)B) and δ(18)O records, together with other geochemical indicators, consistently show that the episodic lakes finally dried up at ∼4.9 million years ago (Ma), permanently and irreversibly. Although the episodic occurrences of lakes appear to be linked to orbitally induced global climatic changes, the plateau (Tibetan, Pamir, and Tianshan) uplift was primarily responsible for the final vanishing of the episodic lakes in the Tarim Basin, occurring at a relatively warm, stable climate period.

Diversity analysis of <i>Populus euphratica</i> endophytic bacteria in Tarim River Basin, China.

Project description:The bacterial diversity in Populus euphratica stem storage liquid samples grown in Shaya County and Yuli County of the Tarim River Basin was investigated. A culture-dependent (dilution spread plate method) and culture-independent method (PCR-RFLP technique) were used to identify the endophytic bacteria community structure and composition in P. euphratica in Tarim River Basin. Sixty-six bacterial strains were isolated from P. euphratica stem storage liquid samples on three agar media. The 16S rDNA gene was amplified and sequenced using bacterial universal primers. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the 66 strains belonged to three phyla (Firmicutes, Actinomycetes, and Gamma-Proteobacteria) and included 16 genera and 29 species. Among them, Pseudomonas (27.27%) and Bacillus (19.69%) were the dominant isolates. CGM-17 was a potentially new species of Pantoea. Restriction fragment length polymorphism of 16S rDNA gene amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR-RFLP) revealed 48 operational taxonomic units (OTUs). Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the 48 OTUs belonged to Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, Proteobacteria (α-, β-, γ-subgroup), Bacteroidetes, and Verrucomicrobia. Gamma-Proteobacteria was the dominant group, similarly to the culture-dependent method, accounting for 53% of the entire bacterial clone library. Our results indicate that P. euphratica endophytic bacteria diversity in the Tarim River Basin was rich, and the resources of endophytic bacteria were high. They provide valuable reference data and species resources for screening indigenous and functional strains of endophytic bacteria in P. euphratica.

The genomic origins of the Bronze Age Tarim Basin mummies.

Project description:The identity of the earliest inhabitants of Xinjiang, in the heart of Inner Asia, and the languages that they spoke have long been debated and remain contentious1. Here we present genomic data from 5 individuals dating to around 3000-2800 BC from the Dzungarian Basin and 13 individuals dating to around 2100-1700 BC from the Tarim Basin, representing the earliest yet discovered human remains from North and South Xinjiang, respectively. We find that the Early Bronze Age Dzungarian individuals exhibit a predominantly Afanasievo ancestry with an additional local contribution, and the Early-Middle Bronze Age Tarim individuals contain only a local ancestry. The Tarim individuals from the site of Xiaohe further exhibit strong evidence of milk proteins in their dental calculus, indicating a reliance on dairy pastoralism at the site since its founding. Our results do not support previous hypotheses for the origin of the Tarim mummies, who were argued to be Proto-Tocharian-speaking pastoralists descended from the Afanasievo1,2 or to have originated among the Bactria-Margiana Archaeological Complex3 or Inner Asian Mountain Corridor cultures4. Instead, although Tocharian may have been plausibly introduced to the Dzungarian Basin by Afanasievo migrants during the Early Bronze Age, we find that the earliest Tarim Basin cultures appear to have arisen from a genetically isolated local population that adopted neighbouring pastoralist and agriculturalist practices, which allowed them to settle and thrive along the shifting riverine oases of the Taklamakan Desert.

Geochemical and Geological Characteristics of the Upper Ordovician-Lower Silurian Shales in the Upper Yangtze Basin, South China: Implication for the Shale Gas Exploration.

Project description:Shale gas exploration in the Upper Yangtze Basin has been conducted for over ten years. The successful drillings in the region suggest that well-planned geological survey and reservoir evaluation are indispensable for the success of these drillings. In this study, the shale gas potential of Late Ordovician to Early Silurian mudstones/shales of the Wufeng-Longmaxi formations in the Upper Yangtze Basin was evaluated. First, all of the available geochemical and petrological data from Late Ordovician to Early Silurian mudstones/shales in the region were compiled. Distributional patterns of total organic carbon (TOC) values, thickness, thermal maturity, and burial depth of organic-rich mudstones/shales from the targeted formations were then analyzed. Our results show that TOC values range from 1.20 to 5.12%; R o values range from 1.92 to 2.86%; porosity varies from 0.77 to 9.2%; permeability varies from 0.015 to 1.99 md; the composition of quartz group of mineral component ranges from 18 to 85%, 59% in average; and clay mineral component ranges from 7 to 56%, 31% in average. Finally, based on these comprehensive analysis, three areas with great potential, that is, Luzhou-Xishui, western Chongqing, and Wulong-Shizhu, were selected as targets for further shale gas exploration and exploitation.

Identification of potential impacts of climate change and anthropogenic activities on streamflow alterations in the Tarim River Basin, China.

Project description:Understanding contributions of climate change and human activities to changes in streamflow is important for sustainable management of water resources in an arid area. This study presents quantitative analysis of climatic and anthropogenic factors to streamflow alteration in the Tarim River Basin (TRB) using the double mass curve method (DMC) and the Budyko methods. The time series (1960~2015) are divided into three periods: the prior impacted period (1960~1972) and the two post impacted periods, 1973~1986 and 1987~2015 with trend analysis. Our results suggest that human activities played a dominant role in deduction in the streamflow in TRB with contribution of 144.6% to 120.68% during the post impacted period I and 228.68% to 140.38% during the post impacted period II. Climatic variables accounted for 20.68%~44.6% of the decrease during the post impacted period I and 40.38% ~128.68% during the post impacted period II. Sensitivity analysis indicates that the streamflow alteration was most sensitive to changes in landscape parameters. The aridity index and all the elasticities showed an obvious increasing trend from the upstream to the downstream in the TRB. Our study suggests that it is important to take effective measures for sustainable development of eco-hydrological and socio-economic systems in the TRB.

Analysis of ancient human mitochondrial DNA from the Xiaohe cemetery: insights into prehistoric population movements in the Tarim Basin, China.

Project description:The Tarim Basin in western China, known for its amazingly well-preserved mummies, has been for thousands of years an important crossroad between the eastern and western parts of Eurasia. Despite its key position in communications and migration, and highly diverse peoples, languages and cultures, its prehistory is poorly understood. To shed light on the origin of the populations of the Tarim Basin, we analysed mitochondrial DNA polymorphisms in human skeletal remains excavated from the Xiaohe cemetery, used by the local community between 4000 and 3500 years before present, and possibly representing some of the earliest settlers.Xiaohe people carried a wide variety of maternal lineages, including West Eurasian lineages H, K, U5, U7, U2e, T, R*, East Eurasian lineages B, C4, C5, D, G2a and Indian lineage M5.Our results indicate that the people of the Tarim Basin had a diverse maternal ancestry, with origins in Europe, central/eastern Siberia and southern/western Asia. These findings, together with information on the cultural context of the Xiaohe cemetery, can be used to test contrasting hypotheses of route of settlement into the Tarim Basin.

Temporal variations in reference evapotranspiration in the Tarim River basin, Central Asia.

Project description:Reference evapotranspiration (ET0) is important for agricultural production and the hydrological cycle. Knowledge of ET0 can aid the appropriate allocation of irrigation water in arid regions. This study analyzed the trends in ET0 over different timescales in the Tarim River basin (TRB), Central Asia. ET0 was calculated by the Penman-Monteith method using data from 1960-2017 from 30 meteorological stations located in the TRB. The Mann-Kendall (MK) test with trend-free prewhitening and Sen's slope estimator were applied to detect trends in ET0 variation. The results showed that the mean ET0 decreased at a rate of 0.49 mm·10 a-1 on an annual timescale. The mean ET0 exhibited a decreasing trend in summer and increasing trends in other seasons. The effects of climatic factors on ET0 were assessed by sensitivity analysis and contribution rate analysis. Maximum temperature (Tmax), relative humidity (RH) and wind speed (WS) showed important effects on ET0. However, WS, which decreased, was the key element that induced changes in ET0 in the TRB. This work provides an important baseline for the management of agricultural water resources and scientific planning in agriculture.

Interactions of Multiple Atmospheric Circulation Drive the Drought in Tarim River Basin.

Project description:Global warming is likely to cause overall drying of land surfaces and aridity increasing leading to expansion of dry climate zones. There is an increased risk of extremely arid environment and large deserts developed progressively in the central Asia. However, the key factors causing the drying in mid-Asia remain inconclusive. Here, we analyzed the relationship among precipitation, water vapor transportation in Tarim River Basin (TRB) and Multiple Atmospheric Circulation (MAC) to explore the mechanism of MAC driving the drying in TRB, through comparing MAC between abundant and scarce precipitation years. We found that Westerly Circulation (WC) and Asian Summer Monsoon (ASM) are likely to promote the precipitation respectively. Whereas, they not only have their own influence but also restrict each other and facilitate the forming of peculiar water vapor transport channel for TRB, which is probably to restrain the precipitation and its distribution pattern and accelerate the drying in this region. Our results enrich the findings on mechanisms of wet places becoming wetter while dry areas getting drier under the global warming.

Endangered Schizothoracin Fish in the Tarim River Basin Are Threatened by Introgressive Hybridization.

Project description:Big-head Schizothoracin (Aspiorhynchus laticeps) and Tarim Schizothoracin (Schizothorax biddulphi) are locally sympatric in the Tarim River Basin. Although another Schizothoracin (Schizothorax esocinus) in Tarim River basin has been speculated to be hybrid offspring of Big-head Schizothoracin and Tarim Schizothoracin, there was no genetic evidence. Previous studies on the genetics and evolution of Schizothoracins in Xinjiang Province were mostly based on mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), whose characteristics of maternal inheritance made it hard to answer the question of whether there was hybridization and introgression between Big-head Schizothoracin and Tarim Schizothoracin. In this study, cytochrome b (cytb) gene of mtDNA and internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) that is encoded by the nuclear genome were genotyped within the entire samples at the same time. Our results confirmed that Schizothorax esocinus was the hybrid offspring of Big-head Schizothoracin and Tarim Schizothoracin. The heterozygous ITS2 genotypes and/or Aspiorhynchus laticeps-like mtDNA were also detected in a subset of samples that should have been identified as pure Schizothorax biddulphi based on morphology. The ITS2 is characterized by multi-copy, concert evolution, and biparental inheritance. Thus, by comparing with mtDNA data, broad-scale bidirectional hybridization and introgression between Big-head Schizothoracin and Tarim Schizothoracin were revealed. Although interspecific hybridization may play a positive role in ecology and evolution, interspecific hybrids could threaten their parental species by the swamping of genetics and demography. As both parents of hybridization are critically endangered fishes, in this case, it is urgently necessary to strengthen the scientific assessment of the risks of the hybrids and the control of the hybridization and introgression between Aspiorhynchus laticeps and Schizothorax biddulphi in the Tarim River Basin.
