Interaction of copper with fatty acids in Soxhlet extraction and its influence

Treatment with metallic copper for the removal of elemental sulfur from bitumen extracted from sedimentary rocks or petroleum is the most widely used method. Little attention has been paid, however, to its disadvantages. It was observed that copper can interact with some polar organic substances during conventional sulfur removal, which can strongly influence the quantitative and qualitative determination of bitumen, as has been confirmed by interaction of long-chain fatty acids with copper. The copper soap generated was analyzed by element analysis, inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry （ICP-OES）, thermal analysis （TG-DSC） and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy （FFIR）. Mechanism of the interaction was investigated and elucidated. Our experimental results would necessitate improvement of the present method for sulfur removal and/or a search for a new one.     

康山“沥青脉”的成因

通过对康山固体可燃脉体产状、脉石矿物性质、构造发展史的综合分析，认为民因很可能是下寒武统荷塘组中的的软沥青和有机质，在加里东运动期间，由于区域应力体系的变化而爆炸运移形成的。康山脉石矿物是沥青和有机质，不是煤和无机物。沥青的源岩为下武统荷组富有机质的黑色泥岩、硅质泥岩、硅质岩。康山脉中的固体沥青和有机质，当初挤入时应呈塑性流动状态，康山沥青系由石油经热演化而成。

Ruthenium-ion-catalyzed oxidation of asphaltenes and oil-source correlation of heavy oils from the Lunnan and Tahe oilfields in the Tarim Basin, NW China

The identification of marine source rocks in the Tarim Basin is debated vigorously. The intention of this paper is to investigate the asphahenes in heavy oils from the Lunnan and Tabe oilfields and Well TD2 with ruthenium-ions-catalyzed oxidation technique (RICO), in order to explore its role in oil-oil and oil-source correlations, The RICO products included n-alkanoic acids, α,ω-di-n-alkanoic acids, branched alkanoic acids, tricyclic terpanoic acids, hopanoic acids, gammacerane carboxylic acid , regular sterane carboxylic acids and 4-methylsterane carboxylic acids. The n-alkyl chains and biomarkers bounded on the asphaltenes were of unsusceptibility to biodegradation. The distribution and absolute concentrations of n-alkanoic acids in the RICO products of heavy oils from the Lunnan and Tabe oilfields are different from those of Well TD2. The biomarkers bounded on the asphahenes, especially steranes, have a distribution trend similar to that of the counterparts in saturates. The sterane carboxylic acids and 4-methylsterane carboxylic acids in the RICO products of heavy oils from the Lunnan and Tahe oilfields, dominated by C30 sterane and C31 4-methylsterane carboxylic acids, respectively, are significantly different from those of the heavy oils of Well TD2, whose dominating sterane and 4-methylsterane carboxylic acids are C28 sterane and C29 4-methylsterane acids, respectively. The RICO products of the asphaltenes further indicate that the Middle-Upper Ordovician may be the main source rocks for heavy oils from the Lunnan and Tabe oilfields.     

Biomineralization of Uranium: A Simulated Experiment and Its Significance

A simulated experimental reduction of U^v1 and the synthesis of uraninite by a sulfate-reducing bacteria,Desulfovibrio desulfuricans DSM 642, are first reported. The simulated physicochemical experimental conditions were:35℃, pH=7.0-7.4, corresponding to the environments of formation of the sandstone-hosted interlayer oxidation-zone type uranium deposits in Xinjiang, NW China. Uraninite was formed on the surface of the host bacteria after a one-week‘s incubation. Therefore, sulfate-reducing bacteria, which existed extensively in Jurassic sandstone-producing environments,might have participated in the biomineralization of this uranium deposit. There is an important difference in the orderdisorder of the crystalline structure between the uraninite produced by Desulfovibrio desulfuricans and naturally occurring uraninite. Long time and slow precipitation and growth of uraninite in the geological environment might have resulted in larger uraninite crystals, with uraninite nanocrystals arranged in order, whereas the experimentally produced uraninite is composed of unordered uraninite nanocrystals which, in contrast, result from the short time span of formation and rapid precipitation and growth of uraninite. The discovery has important implications for understanding genetic significance in mineralogy, and also indicates that in-situ bioremediation of U-contaminated environments and use of biotechnology in the treatment of radioactive liquid waste is being contemplated.

单个油包裹体和微区沥青显微红外光谱分峰拟合技术及应用

针对单个油包裹体和储层沥青等结构复杂样品傅里叶变换显微红外光谱吸收峰严重重叠的问题,基于高斯、洛伦茨函数或其组合(高斯-洛伦茨)模型理论,采用显微红外分峰拟合技术,对塔中北坡顺托果勒地区单个油包裹体成熟度和储层沥青成因进行了系统分析,并取得了4点认识:(1) 通过与Pironon对合成油包裹体的峰位坐标区域化划分吸收峰对比,认为分峰拟合技术更为真实地反映各子峰的面积,而且能够识别重叠区“隐蔽”的吸收峰,有助于准确判别有机质的结构组成;(2) 高斯、洛伦茨函数或其组合(高斯-洛伦茨)模型拟合子峰时,高斯-洛伦茨函数分布拟合的吸收峰与实测光谱吻合度较高,噪音目标越低拟合效果越好,但计算耗时越长,故优选噪音目标在1~10高斯-洛伦茨函数分布拟合各子峰;(3) 结合流体包裹体系统分析和均一温度-埋藏史投影法,单个油包裹体显微红外参数(CH_2a/CH_3a、X_inc、X_std等)揭示塔中北坡顺托果勒地区存在3期油充注,分别为加里东晚期、晚海西期和喜山期;(4) 显微红外光谱定量化分析是研究储层沥青多成因化和多期次油气充注叠加作用的有效手段,分析结果说明塔中北坡顺托果勒地区储层沥青经历了生物降解、氧化降解和水洗淋滤作用.      

有限圈闭复杂沥青质稠油层钻井难点与对策

中东YD油田为海相碳酸盐岩地层,Kazh地层分布着活跃的非均质沥青质稠油,高压并含有酸性气体,为非目的层,需要钻穿并封隔该层后对下部产层进行开发。由于沥青质稠油层分布不均,孔隙压力不确定,对钻井工程造成了极大的挑战。在一期施工中,3口井由于沥青质稠油的侵入被迫工程弃井,未能实现工程目的。针对此世界性难点问题,开展了沥青质稠油侵入机理实验研究、固化剂研制、控压钻井技术应用等一系列配套工艺技术研究,提出了复杂沥青质稠油层安全钻井技术对策,现场应用取得较好的效果。
