Differences and identification on multi-time hydrocarbon generation of carboniferous-permian coaly source rocks in the Huanghua Depression,Bohai Bay Basin

Coal is a solid combustible mineral,and coal-bearing strata have important hydrocarbon generation potential and contribute to more than 12%of the global hydrocarbon resources.However,the deposition and hydrocarbon evolution process of ancient coal-bearing strata is characterized by multiple geological times,leading to obvious distinctions in their hydrocarbon generation potential,geological processes,and production,which affect the evaluation and exploration of hydrocarbon resources derived from coaly source rocks worldwide.This study aimed to identify the differences on oil-generated parent macerals and the production of oil generated from different coaly source rocks and through different oil generation processes.Integrating with the analysis of previous tectonic burial history and hydrocarbon generation history,high-temperature and high-pressure thermal simulation experiments,organic geochemistry,and organic petrology were performed on the Carboniferous-Permian(C-P)coaly source rocks in the Huanghua Depression,Bohai Bay Basin.The oil-generated parent macerals of coal's secondary oil generation process(SOGP)were mainly hydrogen-rich collotelinite,collodetrinite,sporinite,and cutinite,while the oil-generated parent macerals of tertiary oil generation process(TOGP)were the remaining small amount of hydrogen-rich collotelinite,sporinite,and cutinite,as well as dispersed soluble organic matter and unexhausted residual hydrocarbons.Compared with coal,the oil-generated parent macerals of coaly shale SOGP were mostly sporinite and cutinite.And part of hydrogen-poor vitrinite,lacking hydrocarbon-rich macerals,and macerals of the TOGP,in addition to some remaining cutinite and a small amount of crude oil and bitumen from SOGP contributed to the oil yield.The results indicated that the changes in oil yield had a good junction between SOGP and TOGP,both coal and coaly shale had higher SOGP aborted oil yield than TOGP starting yield,and coaly shale TOGP peak oil yield was lower than SOGP peak oil yield.There were significant differences in saturated hydrocarbon and aromatic parameters in coal and coaly shale.Coal SOGP was characterized by a lower Ts/Tm and C31-homohopane22S/(22S+22R)and a higher Pr/n C17compared to coal TOGP,while the aromatic parameter methyl dibenzothiophene ratio(MDR)exhibited coaly shale TOGP was higher than coaly shale SOGP than coaly TOGP than coaly SOGP,and coal trimethylnaphthalene ratio(TNR)was lower than coaly shale TNR.Thus,we established oil generation processes and discriminative plates.In this way,we distinguished the differences between oil generation parent maceral,oil generation time,and oil production of coaly source rocks,and therefore,we provided important support for the evaluation,prediction,and exploration of oil resources from global ancient coaly source rocks.

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.

Effective source rock selection and oil–source correlation in the Western Slope of the northern Songliao Basin,China

This study considers the Upper Cretaceous Qingshankou Formation,Yaojia Formation,and the first member of the Nenjiang Formation in the Western Slope of the northern Songliao Basin.Dark mudstone with high abundances of organic matter of Gulong and Qijia sags are considered to be significant source rocks in the study area.To evaluate their development characteristics,differences and effectiveness,geochemical parameters are analyzed.One-dimensional basin modeling and hydrocarbon evolution are also applied to discuss the effectiveness of source rocks.Through the biomarker characteristics,the source–source,oil–oil,and oil–source correlations are assessed and the sources of crude oils in different rock units are determined.Based on the results,Gulong and Qijia source rocks have different organic matter primarily detrived from mixed sources and plankton,respectively.Gulong source rock has higher thermal evolution degree than Qijia source rock.The biomarker parameters of the source rocks are compared with 31 crude oil samples.The studied crude oils can be divided into two groups.The oil–source correlations show that group I oils from Qing II–III,Yao I,and Yao II–III members were probably derived from Gulong source rock and that only group II oils from Nen I member were derived from Qijia source rock.

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.

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.

Evaluation of the oil and gas preservation conditions, source rocks, and hydrocarbongenerating potential of the Qiangtang Basin: New evidence from the scientific drilling project

The Qiangtang Basin of the Tibetan Plateau,located in the eastern Tethys tectonic domain,is the largest new marine petroliferous region for exploration in China.The scientific drilling project consisting primarily of well QK-1 and its supporting shallow boreholes for geological surveys(also referred to as the Project)completed in recent years contributes to a series of new discoveries and insights into the oil and gas preservation conditions and source rock evaluation of the Qiangtang Basin.These findings differ from previous views that the Qiangtang Basin has poor oil and gas preservation conditions and lacks high-quality source rocks.As revealed by well QK-1 and its supporting shallow boreholes in the Project,the Qiangtang Basin hosts two sets of high-quality regional seals,namely an anhydrite layer in the Quemo Co Formation and the gypsum-bearing mudstones in the Xiali Formation.Moreover,the Qiangtang Basin has favorable oil and gas preservation conditions,as verified by the comprehensive study of the sealing capacity of seals,basin structure,tectonic uplift,magmatic activity,and groundwater motion.Furthermore,the shallow boreholes have also revealed that the Qiangtang Basin has high-quality hydrocarbon source rocks in the Upper Triassic Bagong Formation,which are thick and widely distributed according to the geological and geophysical data.In addition,the petroleum geological conditions,such as the type,abundance,and thermal evolution of organic matter,indicate that the Qiangtang Basin has great hydrocarbon-generating potential.

巴基斯坦东部海域中生代地层发现与油气意义

巴基斯坦海域历经60余年油气勘探,长期以新生界为主要目标,对中生代地层展布、构造演化特征等认识不清。巴基斯坦东部海域中—新生代时期经历了复杂的构造—沉积演化过程,新生代受喜马拉雅隆升影响而沉积了巨量陆缘碎屑物质,因此是研究诸多重大基础科学问题的极佳场所。受白垩纪晚期区域火成岩影响,对该区中生代地层是否存在、如何展布等问题一直存在较大争议,这极大限制了区域油气勘探活动的开展。本研究基于新采集的高品质二维地震剖面,突破了火成岩层的屏蔽作用,通过地震反射界面刻画、地震波组特征分析和层速度分析等手段,揭示了中生代地层在巴基斯坦东部海域广泛分布,中生代地层受控于同期活动的强烈伸展断陷作用,被隆坳相间的构造古地理格局分割在多个规模不等的次级凹陷内部。整体厚度800~10000 m,表现为东南厚、西北薄,向北和向西超覆,最大沉积厚度位于研究区东南和西北两个区域,该套地层在陆域下印度河盆地已证实为重要烃源岩层,因此海域中生代地层的发现有效拓展了该区未来油气勘探方向和潜在价值。

顶空箭形固相微萃取–气相色谱质谱法分析烃源岩和稠油中的金刚烷类化合物

采用顶空箭型固相微萃取–气相色谱质谱联用技术(HS-SPME Arrow-GC/MS)直接检测分析烃源岩粉末样品和稠油中的单金刚烷类和双金刚烷类化合物,考察并优化了影响萃取效率的萃取纤维头类型、萃取温度、萃取时间和解析时间等关键因素。对于小于80目的烃源岩样品,推荐最优HS-SPME Arrow实验条件为:使用250μm PDMS箭形固相微萃取头, 120℃下萃取20 min, 260℃下解析8 min。对于稠油,当使用250μm PDMS萃取纤维头、萃取温度为120~150℃、萃取时间为15~20 min、解析时间为3~8 min时,稠油中的单金刚烷类和双金刚烷类化合物都能取得较理想的质谱响应。该方法实现了对烃源岩粉末和稠油中金刚烷类化合物的直接分析,灵敏度高,检出限低(0.004~0.977 ng/g),重现性好,测量峰面积和比值参数的相对标准偏差分别小于20%和5%,避免了复杂的前处理过程,是一种快捷可靠的分析方法。

加强油源岩沉积成岩成油模拟实验研究

干酪根热降解生油学说源于油页岩高温热解生成“人造石油”的生产实践,其理论内涵是凡富含干酪根的岩石,经高温热解后其所含的干酪根都可以生成“人造石油”。应用该学说的高温热解实验方法,可以评价油页岩的品质及其热解生成“人造石油”的潜力,因此仅适用于油页岩的评价研究。但该学说的倡导者却认为油页岩和油源岩都是能生成石油的岩石,如果埋藏较浅时就称为油页岩,如果埋藏较深时就是油源岩,因此干酪根热降解生油学说同样适用于油源岩。这种观点并没有被美欧等国家所认可,但遗憾的是,在改革开放之初不甚了解国外同行对该学说如何评价的情况下,中国的石油地质家不仅全盘接受了该学说,而且推广应用了40多年。为彻底改变这种被动局面,唯一可行的就是通过油源岩沉积成岩成油模拟实验,研究油源岩中可溶有机质的生油问题和评价方法。

柴达木盆地英雄岭页岩岩相特征及有利源储组合

柴达木盆地英雄岭页岩油具有良好的形成与富集条件,石油资源量可达44.5×10^(8) t,但英雄岭页岩油纵向分布厚度大(>1000m),页岩岩相及岩相组合变化较大,给页岩油的有效勘探开发带来了巨大挑战。以英雄岭页岩典型井柴2-4、柴906、柴12等12口井578m岩心为研究对象,开展岩石学、有机地球化学和储层特征分析。研究表明,英雄岭页岩混积特征明显,矿物组成以方解石、白云石和黏土矿物为主;沉积构造以厚度小于1cm的纹层为主。根据“二元”命名原则,可将研究区内页岩岩相划分为5类,包括纹层状灰云岩、纹层状云灰岩、层状灰云岩、层状云灰岩、纹层状黏土质页岩。通过对各类岩相有机地球化学和储集性能综合评价,认为纹层状云灰岩为最优烃源岩相类型,层状灰云岩为最优储层相类型,储集空间主要为白云石晶间孔。甜点综合评价结果和生产实践证实,层状灰云岩与纹层状云灰岩互层为最有利的源储组合模式,各甜点段平面上连通性较好,纵向上具有较强的非均质性。

羌塘盆地胜利河地区布曲组油气地球化学特征与油源对比

羌塘盆地胜利河地区侏罗系海相地层的地表露头有大量的油气显示。以往研究表明该地区发育多套含油气系统,油气性质复杂。本次研究在前人工作基础上,以中侏罗统布曲组(J2b)中部油页岩露头、探井岩心的油气显示以及地表油气显示为主要研究对象。通过TOC分析、岩石热解、饱和烃色谱和饱和烃色谱-质谱的分析,更为详细地研究了胜利河地区烃源岩类型,对原油来源进行了进一步探讨,为该地区下一步油气勘探工作提供更多的理论依据。研究表明,该地区J2b组中部油页岩有机质类型以Ⅱ型为主,具有较高的生油潜力。该地区原油主要来源于还原性海相沉积环境。研究区样品的有机质输入主要以低等水生生物为主, DB4142以低等水生生物和高等植物混合贡献,BD4902以高等植物输入为主。原油处于成熟阶段,所有样品均检测出25-降藿烷系列的化合物,指示样品均遭受了较为强烈的生物降解作用。依据生物标志物指纹特征和生物标志化合物参数特征,运用聚类分析方法,将研究区原油划分为A、B、C、D四类。其中A类原油主要来自于同层位(J2b)的烃源岩,而B、C、D类原油没有或者很少有该套烃源岩(J2b)的贡献,可能来自其它层位烃源岩贡献。

烃源岩作为铀源岩的可能性:研究现状与展望

烃源岩与砂岩型铀矿通常同盆共生,除了提供矿化剂之外,烃源岩能否成为铀源岩对砂岩型铀矿的勘探范围向盆地纵深部位拓展具有重要意义。研究针对烃源岩能否成为铀源岩所涉及的三个关键问题,即“铀从烃源岩中迁出的比例、如何随地层流体运移、在何种条件下沉淀和聚集”,梳理了国内外相关研究进展,指出了有必要加强研究的薄弱环节。结果表明:热模拟实验证实烃源岩中的铀能够迁出,迁出的铀很可能以U(IV)/U(VI)混合的形式随含烃地层水和石油运移,温度、压力的降低以及pH、Eh变化会导致铀溶解度的下降和铀运移载体的分解而发生铀沉淀,沉淀物也可能重新被含氧的地层水溶解。问题与建议包括:(1)铀从烃源岩中迁出的比例存在不确定性,迁出的机制以及地质规律尚不清楚,需要开展进一步的生烃排铀模拟实验及排铀动力学表征研究;(2)铀在低温、含烃、还原性热液中的赋存状态是研究其迁移机制的基础,目前对与铀结合的优势配体的类型、产物热力学性质、铀在含烃地下水与石油中的分布比例所知甚少,有必要开展基于热模拟实验的原位测试研究;(3)携铀流体向浅部运移的过程中温度、压力、pH、Eh、有机无机组分的变化控制铀的迁移/沉淀,不同组合条件下铀赋存形式的转化规律、主控因素尚不清楚,有待开展多因素、多变量的烃铀运移模拟实验进行揭示。

鄂尔多斯盆地东南部长7段页岩油气富集主控因素

为明确鄂尔多斯盆地东南部长7段页岩油气富集主控因素,综合钻井、测井、岩心分析化验等资料,对研究区长7段页岩油气富集程度及其机理进行研究。页岩解析气量与烃源岩总有机碳含量呈正比,有机质含量控制页岩油气的总含量,有机质发育大量孔隙,页岩油气以吸附态和游离态赋存于有机孔隙中。储集层孔隙结构和孔隙度影响页岩油气的含量及赋存状态,吸附油气主要赋存于微孔中,游离油气主要赋存于中孔和大孔中,但中孔中游离气含量高于大孔,而孔隙度越大,页岩中油气绝对含量越高。砂岩夹层和富有机质页岩的配置关系控制着页岩油气的富集部位,根据粉砂岩、细砂岩与页岩的关系,延长组长7段页岩油气可划分为近源和源内2类,源内又可分为砂岩与页岩互层型、页岩夹砂岩型和页岩型;下伏于富有机质页岩中的砂体和透镜状砂体油气含量最高,其次是上覆于富有机质页岩的砂体和呈舌状或指状与富有机质页岩接触的砂体。
