Oil-source rock correlation and quantitative assessment of Ordovician mixed oils in the Tazhong Uplift, Tarim Basin

The origin of the marine oils in the Tarim Basin has long been a disputed topic. A total of 58 DST （drill stem test） crude oil and 8 rock samples were investigated using a comprehensive geochemical method to characterize and identify the origin of the Ordovician oils in the Tazhong Uplift, Tarim Basin, northwest China. Detailed oil–oil and oil–source rock correlations show that the majority of the oils have typical biomarker characteristics of the Middle-Upper Ordovician （O2＋3） source rock and the related crude oil. These characteristics include a distinct ＂V-shaped＂ relative abundance of C27, C28 and C29 regular steranes, low abundance of dinosterane, 24-norcholestanes, triaromatic dinosteroids and gammacerane. Only a few oils display typical biomarker characteristics indicating the Cambrian–Lower Ordovician （∈-O1） genetic affinity, such as linear or anti ＂L＂ shape distribution of C27, C28 and C29 regular sterane, with relatively high concentrations of dinosterane, 24-norcholestanes, triaromatic dinosteroids and gammacerane. It appears that most of the Ordovician oils in the Tazhong Uplift were derived from the O2＋3 intervals, as suggested by previous studies. However, the compound specific n-alkane stable carbon isotope data indicate that the Ordovician oils are mixtures from both the ∈-O1 and O2＋3 source rocks rather than from the O2＋3 strata alone. It was calculated that the proportion of the∈-O1 genetic affinity oils mixed is about 10.8%-74.1%, with an increasing trend with increasing burial depth. This new oil-mixing model is critical for understanding hydrocarbon generation and accumulation mechanisms in the region, and may have important implications for further hydrocarbon exploration in the Tarim Basin.

The Occurrence of Oleananes in the Beibuwan Basin and Its Application to the Study of Maturity and Oil-Source Rock Correlation

The oleanane parameter, i.e., OP （oleananes/（oleananes＋C30hopanes）） in the two sedimentary columns of the Beibuwan Basin, South China Sea, can be used to delimit the top of oil generation window, with Ro （/%） of 0.53 in Well M1 and 0.55 in Wells H1/Hd1/Hd2, respectively. Comparing with vitrinite reflectance （Ro/%）, the OP features a dynamic range and can indicate the oil generation window more precisely. By using OP and other geochemical indices, the oil-source correlation is also conducted. It suggests that the oils in wells M1 and M2 are derived from the source rocks in situ. The mudstone in Huachang uplift is not the main source rocks for oils in this area, The OP is also a useful oil-source correlation parameter in some Tertiary lacustrine basins.

The geochemical characteristics and oil-source rock correlation of oilshow from the Majiashan profile, Chaoxian County, South of Anhui Province

In the future time the exploration of marine oil and gas will be one of the significant domains in China. In this paper the biomarker assemblage characteristics of oilshow in the Nanlinghu Formation of the Majiashan pro- file, which is located in Chaoxian County, south of Anhui Province, are described in the light of gas chromatogra- phy/mass spectrometric (GCMS) analysis on the qualitative and quantitative basis. Based on the investigation of the biomarker assemblage characteristics of possible source rocks developed in the area studied, a conclusion is drawn that the oilshow was generated from the Nanlinghu Formation source rocks (abbreviated as T1n), instead of the Qixia Formation source rocks (abbreviated as P1q). It is pointed out that the T1n is of strong potential for future oil explora- tion, and therefore much attention should be paid to it.

Dibenzofuran Series in Terrestrial Source Rocks and Crude Oils and Applications to Oil-Source Rock Correlations in the Kuche Depression of Tarim Basin, NW China

Ten series of aromatic hydrocarbon compounds (biphenyl, naphthalene, phenanthrene, anthracene, retene, chrysene, benzoanthracene, dibenzofuran, fluorene, dibenzothiophene) isolated from seven Triassic and Jurassic lacustrine mudstone samples and three swamp coal samples, as well as five crude oil samples collected in the Kuche depression of the Tarim Basin, NW China, have been analysed by GC-MS techniques. It is found that the relative abundances of dibenzofuran series are higher in the three swamp coal samples than those in the lacustrine mudstone samples. Based on the similar relative abundances of dibenzofuran series, especially dibenzofuran compound, in the TICs of aromatic hydrocarbons, crude oils from wells SA3 (K), YTK5 (E, K) and QL1 (E) are thought to have been derived predominantly from the coals of the Lower Jurassic Yangxia Formation or Middle Jurassic Kezilenuer Formation, whereas those from wells YM7 (O) and YH1 (E) were derived mainly from Triassic and Jurassic lacustrine mudstones in the Kuche depression. This is the first report about how to distinguish coal-generated oils from lacustrine mudstone-generated oils in the Kuche depression in terms of the dibenzofuran series. The present paper has enlightening and directive significance for further oil-source rock correlations and oil and/or gas exploration in the Kuche depression of the Tarim Basin.

Oil-source correlation and Paleozoic source rock analysis in the Siwa Basin,Western Desert:Insights from well-logs,Rock-Eval pyrolysis,and biomarker data

Understanding the origins of potential source rocks and unraveling the intricate connections between reservoir oils and their source formations in the Siwa Basin(Western Desert,Egypt)necessitate a thorough oil-source correlation investigation.This objective is achieved through a meticulous analysis of well-log responses,Rock-Eval pyrolysis,and biomarker data.The analysis of Total Organic Carbon across 31 samples representing Paleozoic formations in the Siwa A-1X well reveals a spectrum of organic richness ranging from 0.17 wt%to 2.04 wt%,thereby highlighting diverse levels of organic content and the presence of both Type II and Type III kerogen.Examination of the fingerprint characteristics of eight samples from the well suggests that the Dhiffah Formation comprises a blend of terrestrial and marine organic matter.Notably,a significant contribution from more oxidized residual organic matter and gas-prone Type III kerogen is observed.Contrarily,the Desouky and Zeitoun formations exhibit mixed organic matter indicative of a transitional environment,and thus featuring a pronounced marine influence within a more reducing setting,which is associated with Type II kerogen.Through analysis of five oil samples from different wells—SIWA L-1X,SIWA R-3X,SIWA D-1X,PTAH 5X,and PTAH 6X,it is evident that terrestrial organic matter,augmented by considerable marine input,was deposited in an oxidizing environment,and contains Type III kerogen.Geochemical scrutiny confirms the coexistence of mixed terrestrial organic matter within varying redox environments.Noteworthy is the uniformity of identified kerogen Types II and III across all samples,known to have potential for hydrocarbon generation.The discovery presented in this paper unveils captivating prospects concerning the genesis of oil in the Jurassic Safa reservoir,suggesting potential links to Paleozoic sources or even originating from the Safa Member itself.These revelations mark a substantial advancement in understanding source rock dynamics and their intricate relationship with reservoir oils within the Siwa Basin.By illuminating the processes of hydrocarbon genesis in the region,this study significantly enriches our knowledge base.

Distribution and isotopic signature of 2-alkyl-1,3,4-trimethylbenzenes in the Lower Paleozoic source rocks and oils of Tarim Basin:Implications for the oil-source correlation

Series of 2-alkyl-1,3,4-trimethylbenzenes(ATMBs)were detected in most of crude oils and source rocks collected from various strata and locations of the Tarim Basin.They appeared to have heavy carbon isotopic signatures(δ13C,up to~-16‰)compared to those hydrocarbons from oxygenic phototrophic organisms,indicating that the unequivocal source of green sulfur bacteria(GSB)and photic zone euxinia(PZE)existed in the original environment.Considering the high paleoproductivity,the PZE may have enhanced the preservation of organic matter,which triggered the formation of extremely organic-rich source rocks with TOC up to 29.8%for the Lower Cambrian Yuertus Formation(€1y).The coexistence of ATMBs and the diagnostic products from secondary alterations(e.g.,abundant 25-norhopanes,thiadiamondoids,and diamondoids)indicated a stronger ability of anti-second-alterations.Combined with the results of quantitatively de-convoluting mixed oil,the oil-source correlation based on ATMBs from a large number of Lower Paleozoic samples of the Tarim Basin suggested that the abundant deep crude oil resources co ntained a dominant contribution(>50%)from the€1y source rocks.Therefore,the ATMBs,as diagnostic biomarkers indicating unequivocal precursors under special habitat conditions,might provide important insights for the exploration of deep Lower Paleozoic crude oils in the Tarim Basin.

Organism relics or kerogens in oils as oil-source rock correlation indicator

Organism relies or kerogens in oils are first observed by a confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM) and a transmission electron microscope (TEM). The complexes of kerogens in oils are characterized by the presence of a great variety of microfossils or macerals. These kerogens in oils are mainly the residues of the original organic substances from which oil formed, and minor kerogens from enclosing rocks enter the oils, therefore, the components and types of the kerogens in crude oils can serve as an indirect indicator of oil-source rock correlation. This method was applied to Jurassic oils in the Junggar Basin and the Turpan-Hami Basin, and there are two types of the kerogens in oils: one containing a lot of macerals from terrestrial plants may derive from coals, and the other, characterized by a high content of microscopic algae, fungus spores and Acritarch, may originate from Permian organic matter. In addition, the reflectance of the vitrodetrinites in oils can be used as an indicator of oil-source rock correlation.

Mapping of oil-source faults in reservoire-cap rock combinations without a source rock

Oil and gas exploration near faults in shallow strata is investigated in this study based on an analysis of oil-source faults in reservoire-cap rock combinations without a source rock.The oil-source faults were mapped by superimposition of the distribution area of oil-source faults and the leakage area of cap rocks.This method is applied to the mapping of oil-source faults for two sets of reservoire-cap rock combinations without a source rock in the Banqiao area of the Qikou Sag in the Bohai Bay Basin,eastern China.Combination B is formed by a mudstone cap rock of the middle sub-member of the 1st member of the Shahejie Formation(E3s1 M)with its underlying reservoir,while Combination C is formed by a mudstone cap rock of the 2nd member of the Dongying Formation(E_(3)d_(2))with its underlying reservoir.The results show that the oil-source faults of Combination B are relatively better developed and mainly occur in the northeast and southeast,while those of Combination C are not as well developed and are only distributed at the southeastern edge of the study area with a small proportion in the north.These results are consistent with the fact that oil and gas are mainly distributed near oil-source faults,proving the method proposed is workable in determining the oil-source faults in reservoire-cap rock combinations without a source rock.

Correlation between the rock mass properties and maximum horizontal stress:A case study of overcoring stress measurements

Understanding the mechanical properties of the lithologies is crucial to accurately determine the horizontal stress magnitude.To investigate the correlation between the rock mass properties and maximum horizontal stress,the three-dimensional(3D)stress tensors at 89 measuring points determined using an improved overcoring technique in nine mines in China were adopted,a newly defined characteristic parameter C_(ERP)was proposed as an indicator for evaluating the structural properties of rock masses,and a fuzzy relation matrix was established using the information distribution method.The results indicate that both the vertical stress and horizontal stress exhibit a good linear growth relationship with depth.There is no remarkable correlation between the elastic modulus,Poisson's ratio and depth,and the distribution of data points is scattered and messy.Moreover,there is no obvious relationship between the rock quality designation(RQD)and depth.The maximum horizontal stress σ_(H) is a function of rock properties,showing a certain linear relationship with the C_(ERP)at the same depth.In addition,the overall change trend of σ_(H) determined by the established fuzzy identification method is to increase with the increase of C_(ERP).The fuzzy identification method also demonstrates a relatively detailed local relationship betweenσ_H and C_(ERP),and the predicted curve rises in a fluctuating way,which is in accord well with the measured stress data.

川芎嗪抑制ROCK的表达降低模拟失重大鼠血管Ca^(2+)敏感性

研究失重条件下血管平滑肌收缩性、Ca^(2+)敏感性及其调控通路RhoA-ROCK蛋白表达的变化,以及川芎嗪干预对其的影响。大鼠尾部悬吊模拟失重,在机体前、后部分别选取颈总动脉和肠系膜上动脉。在模拟失重大鼠颈总动脉中,由苯肾上腺素(PHE)或KCl诱发的血管收缩性和Ca^(2+)敏感性增强,RhoA激酶2(ROCK II)的表达、肌球蛋白磷酸酶靶亚基1(MYPT1)和肌球蛋白调节轻链(MLC)的磷酸化水平均上升,血管孵育Y-27632(ROCK特异性抑制剂)后可降低以上变化。模拟失重大鼠灌饲川芎嗪亦可降低以上变化。模拟失重后,大鼠肠系膜上动脉的收缩性和Ca^(2+)敏感性、ROCK II的表达、MYPT1和MLC的磷酸化水平降低,血管孵育Y-27632对以上变化无明显作用。模拟失重大鼠灌饲川芎嗪亦对以上变化无明显作用。结果表明,由RhoA-ROCK调控的血管平滑肌Ca^(2+)敏感性的变化可能是失重条件下机体前后部血管收缩性发生区域性重塑的关键因素。川芎嗪可抑制ROCK蛋白的表达,降低血管平滑肌升高的Ca^(2+)敏感性,从而纠正失重条件下机体前部血管收缩性的增强,但对失重条件下机体后部血管收缩性的减弱无恢复作用。

目的:研究益母草碱(Leo)通过调节Ras同源基因家族成员A(RhoA)/Rho相关的卷曲螺旋激酶(ROCK)信号通路对冠心病(CHD)大鼠主动脉内皮细胞损伤的影响及机制。方法:将造模成功的75只CHD大鼠随机分为模型组(CHD组)、Leo低、中、高剂量组(Leo-L组、Leo-M组、Leo-H组)和Leo高剂量组+RhoA激活剂LPA组(Leo-H+LPA组),每组15只。Leo-L、Leo-M、Leo-H组分别灌胃15、30、60mg·kg^(-1)·d^(-1)的Leo,Leo-H+LPA组灌胃60mg·kg^(-1)·d^(-1)的Leo,另需腹腔注射1mg·kg^(-1)·d^(-1)的LPA,Control组和CHD组以相同方式给予等量生理盐水,均连续干预4周。超声心动图测定心功能指标;全自动生化分析仪测定总胆固醇(TC)、甘油三酯(TG)、高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(HDL-C)、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(LDL-C)水平;酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)检测白细胞介素6(IL-6)、肿瘤坏死因子α(TNF-α)、一氧化氮(NO)、内皮素1(ET-1)、内皮细胞特异性分子-1(EMS1)、血管内皮细胞粘附分子1(VCAM-1)水平;苏木精-伊红(HE)染色观察主动脉内皮损伤;流式细胞仪检测主动脉内皮细胞凋亡;免疫印迹法(Western blot)检测RhoA/ROCK信号通路相关蛋白表达。结果:与Control组相比,CHD组主动脉壁增厚且染色不均匀,细胞膨大,排列紊乱,内皮粗糙;左室舒张末期内径(LVEDD)、左室收缩末期内径(LVESD)、TC、TG、LDL-C、IL-6、TNF-α、ET-1、VCAM-1和EMS1水平、细胞凋亡率及RhoA、ROCK1和ROCK2蛋白表达显著升高(P<0.05),左室射血分数(LVEF)、缩短分数(FS)、HDL-C、NO水平显著降低(P<0.05)。与CHD组相比,Leo-L组、Leo-M组、Leo-H组主动脉染色均匀,动脉壁结构清晰,细胞排列紧密且形态较正常,内膜较平滑;LVEDD、LVESD、TC、TG、LDL-C、IL-6、TNF-α、ET-1、VCAM-1和EMS1水平、细胞凋亡率及RhoA、ROCK1和ROCK2蛋白表达逐渐降低(P<0.05),LVEF、FS、HDL-C、NO水平逐渐升高(P<0.05)。Leo-H+LPA组逆转了Leo对CHD大鼠的保护作用(P<0.05)。结论:Leo可能通过抑制RhoA/ROCK信号通路改善CHD大鼠心功能,降低血脂,抑制炎症,进而减轻CHD大鼠主动脉内皮细胞损伤。

抑制Rho/ROCK通路对气道平滑肌细胞增殖与迁移的影响及相关机制

目的研究抑制Ras同源基因(Ras homolog gene,Rho)/Rho相关卷曲螺旋形成蛋白激酶(Rhoassociated coiled-coil forming protein kinase,ROCK)通路对心肌素(myocardin,MYOCD)参与的气道平滑肌细胞增殖与迁移的影响及分子机制。方法体外构建腺病毒载体Ad-ZsGreen-shRNA-hROCK1感染人气道平滑肌细胞,将细胞随机分为4组:ROCK1基因沉默对照(shNC)组、shNC+花生四烯酸(arachidonic acid,AA;Rho/ROCK通路激活剂)组、ROCK1基因沉默(shROCK1)组、shROCK1+AA组(各组n=3)。采用实时荧光定量聚合酶链反应法、Western blot法检测ROCK1、MYOCD mRNA和蛋白表达水平,ELISA法检测球状肌动蛋白和丝状肌动蛋白水平,免疫荧光染色法及细胞划痕实验检测细胞增殖及迁移情况。结果与shNC+AA组相比,shROCK1+AA组ROCK1、MYOCD mRNA和蛋白表达水平降低,球状肌动蛋白、丝状肌动蛋白表达降低,细胞增殖、细胞迁移能力降低(P<0.05)。结论抑制Rho/ROCK通路致气道平滑肌细胞增殖及迁移能力受抑,其机制可能与MYOCD的下调有关.
