    Petroleum Science (2019) 16:14–31 https://doi.org/10.1007/s12182-018-0292-4 ORIGINAL PAPER Tertiary hydrothermal activity and its efect on reservoir properties in the Xihu Depression, East China Sea Yan Liu1,2 · Si‑Ding Jin1,2 · Qian Cao3 · Wen Zhou1,2 Received: 11 January 2018 / Published online: 3 January 2019 © The Author(s) 2019 Abstract Three large-scale episodes of volcanic activity occurred during the Tertiary in the Xihu Depression, located in the East China Sea. Intermediate-felsic magmas intruded along faults and the associated hydrothermal fuids resulted in the hydrothermal alteration of the clastic country rock. To better describe reservoir characteristics, reservoir samples were subjected to the following investigations: thin section examination, scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive spectrometer analysis (SEM–EDS), fuid inclusion homogenization temperature tests, vitrinite refectance measurements, and X-ray difraction. The results of this study provide evidence of the following hydrothermal alteration phenomena: brittle fracturing, clastic particle alteration, precipitation of unique hydrothermal minerals (celestite, zircon, apatite, barite, and cerous phosphate). The pres- ence of abnormally high temperatures is indicated by fuid inclusion analysis, the precipitation of high-temperature authigenic minerals such as quartz, illite alteration, and anomalous vitrinite refectance. Two aspects related to hydrothermal efects on reservoir properties have been investigated in this study: (1) Deep magmatic hydrothermal fuids carry large amounts of dissolved carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide gas. These fuids percolate into the country rocks along fault zones, resulting in dissolution within the sandstone reservoirs and the development of signifcant secondary porosity. (2) Magma intrusions increase the temperature of the surrounding rocks and accelerate the thermal evolution of hydrocarbon source rocks.

    The Sino-Japanese Energy Dispute in the East China Sea: Strategic Policy, Economic Opportunities, and Cooperation

    The Economics of Peace and Security Journal, ISSN 1749-852X Manicom, The East China Sea dispute p. 38 © www.epsjournal.org.uk – Vol. 4, No. 2 (2009) The Sino-Japanese energy dispute in the East China Sea: strategic policy, economic opportunities, and cooperation James Manicom here is a consensus in the literature that Chinese and Japanese energy security policies are competitive and that this necessarily precludes long-term energy Tcooperation in the East China Sea. According to Liao Xuanli, this competition has emerged due to political mistrust and the worsening of the strategic relationship since the end of the cold war. Furthermore, these factors outweigh similar Sino-Japanese energy security vulnerabilities, such as a reliance on imported oil, mostly from the Middle East.1 There are also striking similarities in the countries’ energy security policies: both seek to “go out” and gain direct access to upstream oil sectors. However, the nature of these policies reinforces zero-sum thinking because these upstream opportunities are finite in number. Zero-sum thinking is further reinforced by the geopolitical considerations that are driving regional energy security policies across the Asia-Pacific region.2 An extension of this argument is that the competitive nature of regional energy security policy precludes cooperation in a territorial dispute in which hydrocarbon resources are at stake. In this view, Chinese and Japanese energy insecurity underwrites resolve on both sides to pursue disputed resources at any cost and eschew cooperation.3 Both parties have sought to ensure that resource exploration occurs in areas that are least damaging to their jurisdictional claims.

First, I examine various domestic and external factors that either promote or prevent the Sino-Japanese joint/cooperative development of seabed oil/gas deposits in the East China Sea. I will then define some principles and rules of cross-border petroleum exploitation and classify into five development models existing international agreements and treaties relating to seabed oil/gas exploitation in various disputed areas throughout the world. On the basis of the simplified spatial cost-benefit analysis of seabed oil/gas exploitation, different development models are suggested to fit in with the various zones of the East China Sea. Finally, I put forward several policy options for bilateral or multilateral cooperation on the exploration, exploitation, and transportation of the seabed oil/gas deposits in the East China Sea. 1. Introduction Throughout history, physical terrain, political fiat, and conquest have divided states into separate political entities just as much as race, ethnicity, language, and religion. One result is man-made and sometimes arbitrary or even imposed boundaries.
