Three source rocks discovered in the Mid-Lower Jurassic,Dunhuang Basin in China

1.Objective Dunhuang Basin is the largest area and the third hydrocarbon resources potential basin among the basins of Hexi Corridor,and also a low exploration degree basin.The source rock position,characteristics and hydrocarbon generating potential of residual Mid-Lower Jurassic are still unknown.The project is to ascertain the source rock development and hydrocarbon generating capacity of Mid-Lower Jurassic,to find out the resource potential,to delineate the resource prospect area and to optimize the favorable areas.It may direct the petroleum exploration in Dunhuang Basin.

武威盆地武地1井石炭系烃源岩地球化学特征及地质意义

以武威盆地北部坳陷武地1井为基础,通过烃源岩有机质丰度、类型、成熟度及生物标志化合物等参数的综合研究,系统评价了武威盆地石炭系烃源岩的生烃潜力。研究认为武威盆地北部坳陷石炭系太原组烃源岩有机碳含量高,是一套“较好—好”的烃源岩;有机质类型以Ⅲ型为主,Ⅱ2型次之,生物标志化合物中正构烷烃峰型完整,主峰碳数多为17,姥植比及伽马蜡烷参数均表明其生物来源于微咸水的海陆过渡相沉积环境;孕甾烷系列含量低而规则生物构型甾烷含量高,规则生物构型甾烷C_(27)、C_(28)和C_(29)呈不对称“V”型,C_(29)相对含量高于C_(27),生物来源以高等植物为主,低等水生生物也有贡献;三环萜烷和C_(30)重排藿烷含量低,C_(30)藿烷及C_(29)Ts含量高,Ts含量小于Tm,整体上处于成熟—高成熟阶段;有机质类型及成熟度决定了石炭系烃源岩以生成天然气为主。研究结果表明武威盆地石炭系勘探应以寻找天然气为主。
