Foreword

The paper A theoretical analysis of groundwater flow in small drainage basins by József Tóth
published in 1963 proposed a new theory in hydrogeology, i.e., the theory of Regional Groundwater
Flow. Then, it has gradually become the key approach to understand and recognize characteristics of
flow and geochemistry of groundwater at the basin scale. Consequently, it has generally been
accepted as the foundation of regional hydrogeology. During the past half century, the theory of
Regional Groundwater Flow has been widely adopted in many earth-science disciplines, including
water resources management, nuclear-waste disposal, mineral and petroleum exploration,
environment protection and wetland ecology.
In China, groundwater development and protection of ecological environments in large basins
have become increasingly important in recent years due to rapid economic development.
Recognizing this need, the China Geological Survey has conducted extensive investigations and
research on regional groundwater flow systems in many large basins in China since 1999.
Hydrogeologists in China have also recognized the important contributions of the theory of Regional
1
2
-
2 Groundwater Flow to the understanding of hydrogeological conditions in large scale basins. The
0
-
3
2 Commission on Regional Groundwater Flow of IAH was founded in 2011. The mission of the
0
2
gy Commission is to internationally foster the research and practical application of the theory of
o
ol
n Regional Groundwater Flow.
h
c
Te This year is the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the theory of Regional Groundwater
f
o
y Flow. In order to celebrate its 50th anniversary, to stimulate its further development, and to broaden
sit
er the scope of its practical applications in earth sciences and related disciplines, the International
v
ni
U Symposium on Regional Groundwater Flow: Theory, Applications and Future Development is being
w
sa held in Xi’an, China during 21-23 June 2013. The symposium has attracted a great deal of attention
r
a
W
and we are delighted to gather 43 high quality extended abstracts in the symposium proceedings. The
f
o
y extended abstracts cover a wide spectrum of topics which may be categorized under the following
r
o
sit four main areas: recent advances, study methods, applications and future development in the theory
o
p
e
R of Regional Groundwater Flow.
m
ro We thank all people who have given support and help for holding the symposium and all
f
d
de participants of the symposium. We believe and expect that readers will find the proceedings useful
a
o
nl and informative.

International Symposium on Regional Groundwater Flow:
Theory, Applications and Future Development

Origination of Mechanism of Formation Pressure Deficit in Subsalt Sediments
of Nepsko-botuobinskaya Anteclise (Eastern Siberia, Russia)

Abukova L.A., Yakovlev Y.I., Isaeva G.Y.

The Nepsko-Botuobinskaya anteclise (NBA) is a positive structure of the Siberian platform, it has common
borders with the Predpatomsky regional basin, the Angara-Lenskaya step, the Kureiskaya syncline. The NBA is
articulated with the Baikitskaya anteclise through the Katangskaya saddle, and with the Suntara vault - through
the Vilyuchanskaya saddle.
Formation pressure below hydrostatic is fixed everywhere in subsalt layers on the NBA. This is confirmed by
the actual data of gas, oil, water and energy potential distribution in the subsalt strata section on the
Sredne-Botuobinskoye, the Verkhne-Vilyuchanskoye, the Vilyuisko-Dzherbinskoye, the Taas-Yuryakhskoye
and many other fields.
Formation pressure deficit near the base with respect to the conditional hydrostatic pressure in a number of
1
2 fields and exploration areas exceed 6.0-7.0 MPa (within the Vilyuchanskaya saddle NBA).
-
2
0
3- Formation pressure deficit is provided by an exclusively high isolation of subsalt layers from infiltration
2
0
2 recharge. It is provided, in its turn, by the combination of the following factors: prolonged and widespread
y
g
o general area sagging, extension of permafrost, occurrence of salts at various stratigraphic levels, etc. (salts lie at
ol
n
h about 1000 m interval of section in the central part of anteclise, their common thickness is 200-450 m).
c
e
T
f The main feature of the NBA anteclise subsalt layers is the downward migration of water and hydrocarbons
o
y
sit through the from the sedimentary cover to the base. Oil and gas are also involved in downward migration under
r
e
v certain values of the negative head gradients of waters, exceeding the power of hydrocarbons emersion. These
ni
U
w conditions exist between the levels of the osinsky and the botuobinsky horizons and their analogues almost
a
rs throughout the whole NBA, and also in a number of other oil-gas regions of the Siberian platform. The value of
a
W
f hydrodynamic potential decreasing with depth is not the same in different areas, but it is very significant and
o
y
r widespread (Table 1).
o
sit
o Minimal values of potential are noted near the base, and throughout the subsalt layers the potential gradient
p
e
R
has strongly marked negative value. It means that the reservoir system of subsalt deposits of NBA has a
m
o
r discharge area within the base.
f
d
e
d Areal hydrodynamic potential gradients in the NBA are negative and about thousand times differ in size from
a
o
nl areal gradients (up to 1 m/m through as compared with 1 m/km through the area). Reduce of the hydrodynamic
w
o
D potential towards the base with such a gradient provides only one-way movement of fluids from the top down.
pl / Thus, the analysis of facts showed that these pressures in plan reduce to fault zones, and at the section - in the
u.
d
w.e direction of the base. From two to six objects in the subsalt part of the section in a number of exploration wells
p
o. were tested and the fact of reducing hydrodynamic potential down was always confirmed.
p
e
p://r The presence of negative pressure gradients is important not only for prevention of the effusive dissipation of
htt hydrocarbons even in periods of enhanced tectonic activity, but also for the reliable disposal of liquid industrial
