The maturity of sterane in crude oil is higher than that of its source-rock,which shows that the hydrocarbons were generated from a deep source-rock of high maturity around the tectonic belts of the Lenghu area. The analysis of the characteristics of carbon isotopes also shows that these isotopes of hydrocarbon compounds in the No.4 and No.5 tectonic belt are apparently heavier than those in the No.3 belt. The results of our research show that the hydrocarbons in the No.3 tectonic belt are mainly from a relatively rich sapropelic substance,while the hydrocarbons in the No.4 and No.5 tectonic belt originated mainly from organic matter of a relatively rich humic type substance.展开更多

The analytical results show that the branched and cyclic hydrocarbons are fully separated from n-alkanes by 5 molecular-sieve adduction using long time and cold solvent. The branched and cyclic hydrocarbon frac-tion obtained by this method is able to satisfy the analytic requests of GC-IRMS. The carbon isotopic compositions of these branched and cyclic hydrocarbons obtained from the sample indicate that they are derived from photoautotrophic algae, chemoautotrophic bacteria (-33.4—-39.0) and methanotrophic bacteria (-38.4—-46.3). However the long-chain 2-methyl-branched alkanes indicate that their carbon isotopic compositions reflect biological origin from higher plants. The carbon isotopic composition of C30 4-methyl sterane (-22.1? is the heaviest in all studied ste- ranes, showing that the carbon source or growth condition for its precursor, dinoflagellate, may be different from that of regular steranes. The variation trend of d 13C values between isomers of hopanes shows that 13C-enriched precursors take precedence in process of their epimerization. Methanotro-phic hopanes presented reveal the processes of strong trans-formation of organic matter and cycling of organic carbon in the water column and early diagenesis of oil shale.展开更多
