Abstract:

Myanmar block D located in the midwest of the Irrawaddy basin, adjacent to Letpanto field, has a certain prospect of oil.There are many different views on provenance of sedimentary among previous study results. Our aims are to make clear the direction and type of the Palaeogene provenance of the block D and the Periheral in the Irrawaddy basin, then to guide the research on facies and the oil and gas exploration by the analytical method of identification of gravel composition, statistical analysis of sandstone fragment components and the analysis of sedimentary geochemistry. The analysis results of patrtical granularity of the gravels, obtained by optical microsope, suggest that there could be one provenance which is the east of the Irrawaddy basin. The rock source of the Palaeocene was consisted of intermediate and acidic rock, but the Eocene provenance came from epimetamorphic and intermediate-basic rock. The analysis of sand detrital composition statistics revealed that provenance of Paleogene strata was derived from the mixed source, contained recycled orogen and the transitional, dissected and undissected arc. The major element, rare-earth element (REE), trace element geochemical analyses show that tectonic settings are all belong to the continental arc and active continental margin and provenances have andesite characteristic. Conbined with previous analysis, it is concluded that the Palaeogene provenance has certain inheritance and similarity. Provenances were mainly from the chain-like island arc in the basin and the highlands of the Shan Plateau in the eastern of basin. The hypothesis that sediments were directly derived from the Himalayan orogen through the northern of the Irrawaddy basin has been denied by the analysis results. It could be that sediments were provided through Irrawaddy River from the east of the basin into the sedimentary province.
