| Abstract: | Based on the composite analysis of the coal sample series with natural and artificial maturation, the lagging and its kinetic mechanism of the hydrocarbon re-generation from the organic matters in coals were studied using the Rock-Eval gas chromatogram (PyGC) method. The results show that the maturation at the hydrocarbon regeneration peak shifts regularly forward with increasing the starting maturation and the deadline of the hydrocarbon regeneration lies about at 4.0% R o. The difference value between the peak and starting maturation of the hydrocarbon re-generation develops in a parabolalike pattern with increasing the starting maturation, and the resolute and relative laggings evolve in stage, from which the lagging depth could be predicted. The peak halfwidth of the hydrocarbon re-generation curve develops as the starting maturation increases, which might indicate that the hydrocarbonderived rocks with the starting maturation lied about at oilgenerated peak might be relatively high in the hydrocarbonregenerated amount. In the meantime, the mean reactivated energy of the coal samples with starting maturation develops in four stages that are highly consistent with those of the hydrocarbonregenerated amount and lagging, which indicated that the hydrocarbon re-generation is strictly controlled by the geochemical mechanism of the reactive kinetics. |
