Based on productivity test data and physical property test results from multiple wells, a classification scheme of Archean metamorphic buried hill reservoirs in the Bohai Sea is established by means of mathematical function fitting. By combining data from cores, casting thin sections, scanning electron microscopy, imaging logging, and high-pressure mercury injection and nitrogen adsorption tests, we clarified the reservoir composition and pore structure characteristics of different types of reservoirs are clarified. Furthermore, taking the BZ19-6 and 13-2 wells in the Archean metamorphic buried hills as an example, the development sites of different types of reservoirs are analyzed and the reservoir development model is established. The results show that the Archean metamorphic buried hill reservoirs in the Bohai Sea can be divided into three categories and six subcategories, including type I reservoirs with porosities greater than 8% or permeabilities greater than 1 × 10 μm and type II reservoirs with porosities of 5-8% or permeabilities in the range of 0.1-1 × 10 μm. Reservoirs with porosities of 2-5% and permeabilities of 0.01-0.1 × 10 μm are type III reservoirs. Each type of reservoir can be further divided into a fracture-pore type and a fracture type according to the relative contribution of the porosity and permeability to the reservoir. From type I to type III, the dissolution degree and fracture development gradually weaken, the pore size gradually decreases, and the pore volume gradually decreases. The distribution of favorable reservoirs is comprehensively controlled by weathering and tectonic transformation. The presence of a weathered glutenite zone, weathered leaching zone, or weathered disintegration zone is favorable for the development of type I reservoirs in the weathering crust. In the inner part of the buried hill, the presence of a fracture zone with a thickness of more than 10 m or a dense fracture zone with a thickness of more than 40 m is favorable for the formation of type I reservoirs.

Understanding how Earth's continental nuclei first formed in the Archean eon (4.0-2.5 Ga) underpins our notions of early Earth geodynamics.

Shallow-marine environments are thought to have been pivotal to the spreading, perhaps even the origin, of early life on Earth. The shallow-marine Archean sedimentary record of early life, however, is biased towards carbonates; nearshore siliciclastic environments have not received proportional attention. Here we describe densely laminated, silicified and dolomitized fossil calcareous mounds in tidal-facies sandstones of the Archean Moodies Group (ca.

The stepwise oxygenation of Earth's surficial environment is thought to have shaped the evolutionary history of life. Microfossil records and molecular clocks suggest eukaryotes appeared during the Paleoproterozoic, perhaps shortly after the Great Oxidation Episode at ca. 2.

Serpentinization is commonly presented as the main source of natural hydrogen (H) in the continental domains. However, recent works in Australia and Brazil showed that Archean-Paleoproterozoic banded iron formations could be another natural source of H gas. Although the reaction that produces hydrogen is similar (Fe oxidation-HO reduction process), the iron content may be higher in banded iron formations than in mafic igneous lithologies, potentially generating H more efficiently.

On the anoxic Archean Earth, prior to the onset of oxidative weathering, electron acceptors were relatively scarce, perhaps limiting microbial productivity. An important metabolite may have been sulfate produced during the photolysis of volcanogenic SO gas. Multiple sulfur isotope data can be used to track this sulfur source, and indeed this record indicates SO photolysis dating back to at least 3.
