Halocinese e tectônica de rafts na bacia emersa de Benguela (Angola): dados de campo, modelagem física e restauração estrutural / Rafts and salt tectonics in the onshore Benguela basin (Angola): field data, sand box modeling and structural restorationsGabriel Macedo de Almeida e Castro 14 February 2014 (has links)
Este trabalho foi feito com dados de campo da Bacia de Benguela, na costa sul de Angola. Nesta área aflora uma plataforma carbonática de idade albiana, análoga às formações produtoras de petróleo de mesma idade na Bacia de Campos. Duas unidades principais compõem a seção albiana na área: uma unidade inferior caracterizada por carbonatos de águas rasas com intercalações de conglomerados e arenitos na base, totalizando 300 m de espessura total, e uma unidade superior formada por sedimentos carbonáticos de águas mais profundas com espessura de 100 m. Esta seção se apresenta em dois domínios estruturais. O norte é caracterizado por uma plataforma de cerca de 5 km de largura, 35 km de comprimento na direção NE e que se encontra próxima ao embasamento. No domínio sul, essa plataforma se apresenta em fragmentos de menos de 10 km de comprimento por até 5 km de largura, alguns deles afastados do embasamento. Dado que há evaporitos sob essa plataforma, fez-se este trabalho com o objetivo de se avaliar a influência da tectônica salífera na estruturação das rochas albianas. A utilização de imagens de satélite de domínio público permitiu a extrapolação dos dados pontuais e a construção de perfis topográficos que possibilitaram a montagem das seções geológicas. Os dados de campo indicam que a estruturação na parte norte, onde há menos sal, é influenciada pelas estruturas locais do embasamento. Já na parte sul, onde a espessura de sal é maior, a deformação é descolada das estruturas do embasamento. Foi feita uma seção geológica em cada domínio e a restauração dessas duas seções mostrou que a unidade albiana na parte sul sofreu uma distensão de 1,25 (125%) e a de norte se distendeu em 1,05 (105%). Essa diferença foi causada por uma maior espessura original de sal na parte sul, que fez com que a cobertura albiana se distendesse mais em consequência da fluência do sal mergulho abaixo, em resposta ao basculamento da bacia em direção a offshore. A intensidade da deformação na parte sul foi tal que os blocos falhados perderam os contatos entre si, formando rafts. Este efeito foi reproduzido em modelos físicos, indicando que a variação na espessura original de sal tem grande influência na estruturação das rochas que o cobrem. As variações de espessura de sal são controladas por zonas de transferência do embasamento e estas mesmas estruturas controlam os limites dos blocos que sofrem soerguimento diferencial no Cenozoico. / The present work was done with field data from Benguela Basin, which is located in the southern coast of Angola. At this site, an albian carbonatic platform, analogous to the hydrocarbon productive formations of the same age in Campos Basin, outcrops near the coast line , in the surroundings of the city of Benguela. Two major units are recognized among this section: The lower one is characterized by shallow water carbonates with sandstones and conglomerates interlayered at its basal levels, and a total thickness of 300 m. The upper section is composed of deep waters carbonate rocks in a 100 m thick package. This section occurs in two structural domains. The northern domain forms a 5 km wide and 35 km long platform elongated in the NE direction and close to the basement to the east. The southern part is represented by less than 10 km long and up to 5 km wide fragments, some of them displaced from the basement. Considering that evaporates underlie this platform, the main objective of this work is to investigate the influence of salt tectonics on the deformation of the albian rocks. The use of satellite images of public domain allowed the extrapolation of punctual information as well as the construction of the elevation profiles, utilized for the elaboration of the geologic sections. The field data indicate that the structuration at the northern domain, where there is less salt, is influenced by the basement structures. On the other hand, at the southern region, where the evaporitic section is thicker, the deformation is detached from the basement. One geologic section was constructed for each domain and their restorations indicated that the southern part of the platform was affected by an extension of 1,25 (125%) and that the extension at the northern part was 1,05 (105%). This variation is due to a thicker salt layer under the southern part, which conducted the albian package to extend more intensively in consequence of the downdip salt flow, when the basin was tilted toward the ocean. At this region extension was so intense that the faulted blocks lost contact with each other, forming the so called rafts. This effect was simulated in sand box models which indicated that the salt thickness plays a major role in the deformation of the overburden rocks. The variations on the original salt thickness was controlled by transfer faults in the basement and these are the same structures that controlled the boundaries of the basement blocks that responded differently to the Cenozoic uplift events

Etude expérimentale et numérique des oscillations hydrodynamiques en milieux poreux partiellement saturés / Experimental and numerical study of hydrodynamic oscillations in partially saturated porous mediaWang, Yunli 16 September 2010 (has links)
Cette thèse vise à étudier expérimentalement, analytiquement et numériquement, les conséquences de variations et d'oscillations hydrodynamiques à forte variabilité temporelle en milieux poreux partiellement saturés. Les problèmes que nous étudions comportent des surfaces libres tant à l'extérieur qu'à l'intérieur des milieux poreux, celles-ci étant définies comme des isosurfaces de pression d'eau égale à la pression atmosphérique (Pwater = Patm). Les différentes études expérimentales réalisées en laboratoire sont, respectivement : une expérience d'imbibition dans une boite à sable avec effets capillaires importants; la transmission d'oscillations de la surface libre à travers un massif sableux intercalaire dans un petit canal à houle (IMFT, Toulouse); l'étude de la dynamique et de la propagation des oscillations des niveaux d'eau dans un grand canal à houle (HYDRALAB, Barcelone), partiellement recouvert d'un fond sableux incliné, avec mesures de niveaux d'eau en pleine eau et sous le sable, et mesures du fond sableux (érosion/dépôts). Pour les études théoriques, nous avons développés des solutions analytiques linéarisées. Un exemple de problème traité analytiquement est: l'équation linéarisée de Dupuit-Boussinesq (D-B) transitoire à surface libre, en hypothèse d'écoulements plans et vidange/remplissage instantané : oscillations forcées, transmission et dissipation d'ondes à travers une boite à sable rectangulaire. Nous avons aussi développé une solution de l'équation faiblement non linéaire de Dupuit- Boussinesq (D-B) pour étudier le problème d'imbibition avec variation abrupte du niveau d'eau amont (suivi temporel du front de saturation). Nous avons pu étudier les différents types de problèmes transitoires liés aux expériences citées plus haut par simulation numérique. En particulier, nous avons simulé des écoulements partiellement saturés et insaturés, en coupe verticale, à l'aide d'un code de calcul (BIGFLOW 3D) qui résoud l'équation de Richards généralisée en régime transitoire. Nous avons ainsi étudié numériquement en régime non saturé, l'expérience d'imbibition dans un sable initialement sec à frontières verticales (IMFT sandbox), puis l'expérience de propagation d'ondes dans le grand canal à houle de Barcelone (laboratoire HYDRALAB) comportant une plage de sable inclinée, avec un couplage complètement intégré entre les zones micro-poreuse (sable) et “macro-poreuse” (pleine eau). Pour analyser les résultats de cette dernière expérience et les comparer aux simulations, nous avons utilisé plusieurs méthodes de traitement et d'analyse des signaux : analyse de Fourier (spectres de fréquences) ; ondelettes discrètes multi-résolution (Daubechies) ; analyses corrélatoires simple et croisée. Ces méthodes sont combinées avec des méthodes de préfiltrage pour estimer dérives et résidus (moyennes mobiles ; ondelettes multi-résolution). Cette analyse des signaux a permis de comprendre et quantifier la propagation à travers une plage de sable. Au total, les différentes approches de modélisation mis en oeuvre, associé à des procédures de calage en situation de couplage transitoire non linéaire ont permis de reproduire globalement les phénomènes de propagation de teneur en eau et de niveau d'eau dans les différentes configurations étudiées. / This thesis aims at investigating experimentally, analytically and numerically, the consequences of hydrodynamic variations and oscillations with high temporal variability in partially saturated porous media. The problems investigated in this work involve “free surfaces” both outside and inside the porous media, the free surface being defined as the “atmospheric” water pressure isosurface (Pwater = Patm). The laboratory experiments studied in this work are, respectively: Lateral imbibition in a dry sand box with significant capillary effects; Transmission of oscillations of the free surface through a vertical sand box placed in a small wave canal (IMFT, Toulouse); Dynamics of free surface oscillations and wave propagation in a large wave canal (HYDRALAB, Barcelona), partially covered with sand, with measurements of both open water and groundwater levels, and of sand topography (erosion / deposition). For theoretical studies, we have developed linearized analytical solutions. Here is a sample problem that was treated analytically in this work: The linearized equation of Dupuit-Boussinesq (DB) for transient free surface flow, assuming horizontal flow and instantaneous wetting/drainage of the unsaturated zone: forced oscillations, wave transmission and dissipation through a rectangular sandbox. We also developed a weakly nonlinear solution of the Dupuit-Boussinesq equation to study the sudden imbibition (temporal monitoring of the wetting front). We have studied the different types of transient flow problems related to the experiments cited above by numerical simulation. In particular, we have simulated unsaturated or partially saturated transient flows in vertical cross-section, using a computer code (BIGFLOW 3D) which solves a generalized version of Richards’ equation. Thus, using the Richards / BIGFLOW 3D model, we have studied numerically the experiment of unsaturated imbibition in a dry sand (IMFT sandbox), and then, with the same model, we have also studied the partially saturated wave propagation experiment in the large Barcelona wave canal (HYDRALAB laboratory), focusing on the sloping sandy beach, with coupling between the micro-porous zone (sand) and the “macro-porous” zone (open water). To interpret the results of the latter experiment and compare them to simulations, we use several methods of signal analyzis and signal processing, such as: Fourier analysis, discrete multi-resolution wavelets (Daubechies), auto and cross-correlation functions. These methods are combined with pre-filtering methods to estimate trends and residuals (moving averages; discrete wavelet analyses). This signal analyzis has allowed us to interpret and quantify water propagation phenomena through a sandy beach. To sum up, different modeling approaches, combined with model calibration procedures, were applied to transient nonlinear coupled flow problems. These approaches have allowed us to reproduce globally the water content distributions and water level propagation in the different configurations studied in this work.
