珠江口盆地不同类型原油地球化学特征

为明确白云凹陷目前发现原油的成因及来源,系统分析取自珠江口盆地不同类型原油中各类生物标志物的分布与组成特征,发现番禺低隆起北部构造及番禺4洼的原油具有姥植比低(2.0),指示陆源有机质输入的奥利烷含量中等,基本缺乏达玛树脂贡献的双杜松烷,各类重排构型甾藿含量较低,而指示沟鞭藻贡献的C_(30)4-甲基甾烷异常丰富的特点。C_(30)4-甲基甾烷与C_(29)规则甾烷的比值2.1,且其三环萜烷系列C_(19-26)呈现以C_(21)为主峰的正态分布,指示其原始生烃母质以藻类为主,表明这类原油与文昌组湖相烃源岩具有较好的可比性;而番禺低隆起南部构造及白云凹陷的凝析油具有姥植比高(4.0),明显富含奥利烷和双杜松烷,各类重排构型甾藿烷含量较高,缺乏C_(30)4-甲基甾烷的特点,且其三环萜烷C_(19-26)呈现阶梯状依次降低的特点,表明陆源有机质是其主要原始生烃母质,这符合白云凹陷发育恩平组煤系烃源岩的石油地质背景。     

塔里木盆地一类新海相原油的地球化学特征

对塔中52等井奥陶系储层产出的原油进行的分析结果表明,它们的三环萜烷系列较为特殊,主要表现为其相对丰度呈C19>C20>C21>C23>C24>C25>C26阶梯状的模式,C24四环萜烷异常丰富,且其丰度远高于C26三环萜烷,这一分布模式一般出现在淡水沼泽相和浅湖相沉积地层与原油中。在三萜烷分布特征上,其伽马蜡烷含量很低,甾烷系列和藿烷系列的分布与组成特征与该地区来源于中上奥陶统烃源岩的海相原油十分接近,同时它们的全油均具有轻的碳同位素组成,其δ13Ｃ值都小于-30‰,具有海相成因原油的特征。而塔中12井上奥陶统良里塔格组4-5段烃源岩中生物标志物的分析结果进一步证实了该类原油与那些富含宏观藻残片,且有机质类型偏腐殖型的上奥陶统海相烃源岩关系密切,是该地区油气勘探中值得关注的对象。      

塔河油田原油甾藿烷系列化合物地球化学再认识

生物标志化合物是油气油源、成熟度、运移等领域研究中的一项得力工具。运用生物标志物色谱质谱技术，对比研究了塔河油田各油区原油生物标志化合物中甾、藿烷系列化合物特征。研究表明，塔河油田为一由晚期成熟高、轻微改造的原油与早期成熟度低、遭受较强降解原油混合而成的复合油藏，该油藏各区原油C27—C29甾烷同系物以及C27—C29重排甾烷特征反映出该区不同成熟度原油来自同一母源，原油Ts/(Tm+Ts)、重排甾烷/规则甾烷和ββ/(ββ+αα) C29比值关系立体图指示出原油的充注方向，印证了“塔河地区的油气主要来自于南部的满加尔坳陷”这一论点。     

柴达木盆地东坪地区一类新的原油及其地球化学特征

各类生物标志物的组成特征表明:柴达木盆地北缘的冷湖油田原油具有姥植比高（Pr/Ph>2.0）,重排甾烷（C₂₇重排甾烷/规则甾烷=0.5~0.7）、重排藿烷（diaC₃₀H/C₃₀H=0.2~0.4）和新藿烷（C₂₉Ts/C₂₉H=0.4~0.7）含量中等,伽马蜡烷含量低（伽马蜡烷指数<0.05）的特征,它们源于该地区发育的下侏罗统淡水湖沼相烃源岩;而柴西北区咸水湖相原油的姥植比低（Pr/Ph<0.8）,重排甾烷（C₂₇重排甾烷/规则甾烷<0.1）、重排藿烷（diaC₃₀H/C₃₀H<0.05）和新藿烷（C₂₉Ts/C₂₉H=0.2~0.4）含量低和伽马蜡烷含量高（伽马蜡烷指数=0.4~0.8）,这一系列特征与柴西地区发育的古近系-新近系咸水湖相烃源岩一致。但是,东坪地区原油呈现完全不同的生物标志物组合,主要表现为丰富的伽马蜡烷（伽马蜡烷指数=1.2~3.0）与高含量的新藿烷（C₂₉Ts/C₂₉H>1.5）、重排藿烷（diaC₃₀H/C₃₀H>0.7）和重排甾烷（C₂₇重排甾烷/规则甾烷>0.4）并存,这与地质样品中伽马蜡烷和重排类标志物的分布特征相矛盾,因为依据现有的认识无法解释这一特殊地球化学现象。生物标志物组成特征表明东坪地区原油所具有的特殊生物标志物组合并非源于不同类型原油之间的混合,而是一种客观存在,尽管其确切的地球化学意义和形成条件目前并不清楚。由此可见,东坪地区原油为柴达木盆地一个新的原油类型,推测其烃源岩可能形成于偏酸性的咸水环境。     

柴达木盆地北缘侏罗系不同沉积环境烃源岩生物标志物特征及其应用

柴达木盆地北缘地区侏罗系(中下侏罗统)的优质烃源岩主要发育于湖相与三角洲相环境。研究了不同时代、不同沉积环境中烃源岩的生物标志物组成特征,结果发现,有3类化合物的分布与组成差异显著,包括三环萜烷(C19、C20、C21)的分布型式、重排藿烷的丰度以及规则甾烷的相对组成。其中,不同时代的差异主要体现在规则甾烷组成上;而不同沉积环境的差异主要体现为三环萜烷(C19、C20、C21)的分布型式及重排藿烷的丰度。分析认为,这些差异与烃源岩的沉积环境及其生源组成有密切关系。据此,初步将这些参数应用于两方面研究,一是为划分地层沉积环境提供“生物标志物相标志”,二是研究油源对比,取得良好效果。因此,本文研究结果具有重要实用价值与参考意义。     

烃源岩中C19~C29甾烷系列和25 降藿烷系列的检出及其地质意义

沉积有机质中通常可检测到C21（孕甾烷）、C22（升孕甾烷）和C27~C29甾烷,但C19、C20和C23~C26甾烷并不常见。在三塘湖盆地芦草沟组黑色页岩中检出了完整的C19~C29甾烷系列和25 降藿烷系列。如此完整且丰度较高的此类化合物,尚无文献报道。这一新的资料可能蕴含着丰富的油气地球化学信息。初步认为这2个系列的化合物指示:其古环境为干旱和咸化水体环境;有机质以藻类和浮游生物等低等水生生物来源为主,在沉积初期遭受强烈的生物降解作用;原始有机质与细菌降解的产物共存,成为生烃先质。     

银根-额济纳旗盆地原油的发现及其主要地球化学特征

在银根－额济纳旗盆地东部查干凹陷和西部路井凹陷首次发现了轻质低硫成熟原油，其饱和烃含量在80％以上，非烃和沥青质含量低；饱和烃和芳烃成熟度参数表明它们均为成熟原油，其成熟度相当于镜质相反射率Ro0.8%-1.1%阶段，是生油高峰阶段的产物。原油全油碳同位素δ^13C值小于－31‰。生物标志物中类异戊二烯含量较高，植烷与姥鲛烷均势；查干凹陷原油三环萜烷含量高于五环萜烷，而路井凹陷原油三环萜烷含量相对较低；两原油中均含有较高的Ts,C29Ts,C30重排藿烷和伽马蜡烷，藿烷为主，C32以上升藿烷含量极低；孕甾烷含量较高，尤其是查干凹陷原油；甾烷中以C29甾烷为主，约占50％，C27和C28甾烷基本均势，异胆甾烷含量高于胆甾烷；重排甾烷含量低，甾烷的含量与萜烷含量相当，这些特征表明原油是典型的湖相原油，其主要的烃源岩是下白垩统湖相源岩而非侏罗系煤系烃源岩。     

珠江口盆地原油中新二环、四环萜烷的检出及其地球化学意义

珠江口盆地原油富含多种类型的特殊萜烷,经GC-MS分析,在二环倍半萜烷系列中检出2,2,4a,7,8-五甲基-十氢化萘(新C15二环萜烷);三、四环萜烷中鉴定出降A-奥利烷及相关化合物,并检测到一个C24未知结构的四环萜烷。新C15二环萜烷和降A-奥利烷源于奥利烷类先质物在成岩作用过程中的降解作用,可指示被子植物有机源的输入。这些奥利烷降解物的含量和分布在研究区原油中呈区域性变化。新C15二环萜烷A/补身烷和降A-奥利烷/C24未知四环萜烷比值可作为生源和指相参数,区分各坳陷或凹陷之间及内部的不同类型原油。盆地南部的珠二坳陷白云凹陷及番禺低隆起原油中这些陆源标志物很丰富,这两个参数值大都分别高于1.0和9.0,表明其烃源岩有机质生源中被子植物输入比例较高,且沉积环境的氧化性较强。盆地东部的珠一坳陷各凹陷原油中,这些奥利烷类降解物均相对较少,两个比值分别多在0.5和3.0之下,指示成油母质中陆源有机质较少。盆地西部的珠三坳陷文昌凹陷及邻区原油中,这些被子植物源标志物的含量变化在前两个坳陷原油之间,其中文昌A凹陷原油相对较高。     

银额盆地查干凹陷原油地化特征及油源对比

银额盆地东部查干凹陷首次发现轻质低硫成熟原油，其饱和径含量在90％以上，成熟度相当于镜煤反射率Ro1．0％左右，是生油高峰阶段的产物；原油全碳同位素δ^13C值－31．1‰。原油生物标志物中类异戊二烯含量较高，植烷与姥皖烷均势；三环萜烷含量高于五环萜烷；含有较高的TS C29、Ts、C30重排藿烷、伽马蜡烷；藿烷中以C50藿烷为主，C32以上升藿烷含量极低；孕甾烷含量高；甾烷中以C29甾烷为主，C27甾烷含量也较高，异胆甾烷含量高于胆甾烷；重排甾烷含量低；甾烷的含量与萜烷含量相当，是典型的湖相原油。已发现的天然气中甲烷含量达80％，为湿气。原油和源岩生物标志物组成特征分析对比表明下白垩统巴音戈壁组源岩是主要油源岩。生物标志物特征示原油具有一定的运移效应。     

4­‐­甲基甾烷在油源对比中的应用--以渤南洼陷北部陡坡带为例

同一洼陷不同次洼的烃源岩及生成的原油,由于古气候、古沉积环境较为相似,其常规生物标志化合物和同位素特征差别非常小,给油源分析带来困难。通过GC-MS分析提取原油和烃源岩中分子化石信息,主要依据4 甲基甾烷的相对含量和不同构型的4 甲基甾烷的分布特征来进行油源对比,为类似地区的油源分析提供了一种新思路。渤南洼陷发育Es4s和Es3x两套主力烃源岩,中部次洼、西部次洼和渤南深洼Es3x烃源岩的4 甲基甾烷/C29甾烷值分别为4.51、2.79、1.27,是由于烃源岩中沟鞭藻有机质占总有机质的比例不同所造成。不同地区原油C20、C21、C23三环萜烷和ααα20RC27、C28、C29规则甾烷等特征非常相似,成熟度相当,中、西、东三个地区原油的4 甲基甾烷/C29甾烷值分别为2.89,2.39和2.06,区别明显,各个地区4 甲基甾烷的构型也不同。对比结果表明,渤南洼陷北部陡坡带Es4s和Es3x油气均为近源成藏,主要来源于其临近次洼的Es3x烃源岩。     

崖城地区渐新统不同沉积相带烃源岩生物标志物组合特征及其烃源意义

基于40余个不同岩性烃源岩及原油饱和烃组分的GC/MS和GC/MS/MS分析资料,揭示了琼东南盆地崖城地区渐新统不同沉积相带烃源岩的生物标志物组合特征,并与崖城油气田原油进行油源精细对比,提出了新的认识。研究结果表明,海岸平原沼泽相煤及碳质泥岩呈姥鲛烷优势(Pr/Ph>5.0),三环萜烷以低碳数化合物为主(C₁₉/C₂₃>3.0),甾烷丰度低(藿烷/甾烷>5.0), C₂₉甾烷优势显著(>60%),指示高等植物为主要的有机源,且沉积于氧化环境。浅海相泥岩中Pr/Ph值大多在1.0~2.5,表征弱还原-弱氧化环境;其三环萜烷以C₂₁或C₂₃为主峰,甾烷呈"V"字型分布,藿烷/甾烷比值小于3.0,具陆源和水生双重有机质生源。煤及碳质泥岩中奥利烷和双杜松烷等陆源标志物均较少,而泥岩中却普遍富含这些化合物,反映了近岸海相沉积有机质的特殊性。因而,在近海盆地地层中奥利烷和双杜松烷丰度并不能代表总体有机质中陆源的输入比例,更可能是指相标志。通过与烃源岩的分子地球化学对比表明,崖城油气田的主体原油兼具煤成烃和泥岩所生油的生物标志物组成,为混源油,来自渐新统不同沉积相带烃源岩。     

Geochemical Characteristics of Different Kinds of Crude Oils in the Tarim Basin,Northwest China

Based on the compositions and distributions of biomarkers in thirty-five representative oil samples, oils from the Tarim Basin of northwestern China are mainly divided into two oil families. One oil family contains relatively low amounts of C₁₅-C₂₀ isoprenoid hydrocarbons and shows pristane predominance with Pr/Ph ratios ranging from 1.50 to 3.00. The GC/MS analytical data of these oils show the occurrence of abundant hopanes, and low concentrations of steranes and tricyclic terpanes with hopanes/steranes ratios from 6.25 to 12.24 and tricyclic terpanes/hopanes ratios from 0.03 to 0.24. These oils contain low drimane relative to homodrimane (C₁₅/C₁₆ < 1.0) and abundant rearranged bicyclanes in bicyclic sesquiterpanes. They are dominated by low carbon number (C₁₉-C₂₁) compounds in the tricyclic terpanes, and are rich in rearranged hopanes, C₂₉Ts and an unknown C₃₀ compound in pentacyclic triterpanes. These geochemical characteristics suggest that the oils were generated mainly from terrigenous organic matter. The other oil family shows remarkably different biomarker compositions and distributions. The oils revealed Pr/Ph ratios of about 1.0, high drimane/homodrimane ratios (>1.0), low hopanes/steranes ratios (0.65–2.50), high tricyclic terpanes/hopanes ratios (0.30–2.00) and a dominant peak at C₂₃ in tricyclic tepanes, suggesting a marine organic origin. Oil-source rock correlation indicates that these two oil families seem to have been derived from Mesozoic Jurassic-Triassic terrestrial source rocks (shales and coal seams) and Lower Paleozoic Ordovician-Cambrian marine source rocks, respectively.     

Geochemical characteristics of saturate hydrocarbons in crude oils and source rocks of the Qaidam, Tarim, Tupran basins, NW China

Based on the systematic analyses of fifteen typical crude oils and ten typical potential source rocks col-lected from the Qaidam,Tarim and Turpan basins,Northwest China,the geochemical characteristics of the oils and source rocks were investigated and oil-source rock correlations undertaken.The oils and source rocks deposited in saline lacustrine environment from the western Qaidam Basin were characterized by n-alkanes with even car-bon-number preference in the C20-C28 range,low pristane/phytane(Pr/Ph) ratios(less than 0.5),and high abundances of C27 steranes,gammacerane and C35 hopanes.The oils and source rocks deposited in marine environment from the Tarim Basin were characterized by n-alkanes with even carbon-number preference in the C14-C18 range,relatively low Pr/Ph ratios(near to 1),high abundance of C28 steranes,and relatively high gammacerane.In contrast,the oils and source rocks deposited in terrigenous bog environment from the Turpan Basin were characterized by relatively high Pr/Ph ratios(oil samples greater than 6) high abundance of C29 steranes,and relatively low gammacerane and C31-35 hopanes.The higher amounts of C37 and C38 n-alkanes of source rocks from the western Qaidam Basin and the Tarim Basin suggest an origin of these alkanes from functionalized C37 and C38 n-alkadienes and alkenones in prymnesiophytes living in lacustrine and marine environments.Oil-source rock correlations suggest oils in the west-ern Qaidam Basin were derived from the Oligocene Lower Ganchaigou Formation(E3),oils in the Tabei and Tazhong uplifts from the Tarim Basin have a genetic relationship with the Middle-Upper Ordovician source beds.Oils in the Turpan Basin generally fall into two genetic types.Most oils in the Taibei depression from the Turpan Basin were derived from the Lower-Middle Jurassic coal measures,but the fewer oils in this region are a mixed source derived from the Lower-Middle Jurassic coal measure and the Upper Permian source rocks.     

Diversities in biomarker compositions of Carboniferous–Permian humic coals in the Ordos Basin,China

The molecular composition of Carboniferous–Permian coals in the maturity range from 0.66 to 1.63% vitrinite reflectance has been analysed using organic geochemistry to investigate the factors influencing the biomarker compositions of humic coals. The Carboniferous–Permian coal has a variable organofacies and is mainly humic-prone. There is a significant difference in the distribution of saturated and aromatic hydrocarbons in these coals, which can be divided into three types. The Group A coals have biomarker compositions typical of humic coal, characterised by high Pr/Ph ratios, a lower abundance of tricyclic terpanes with a decreasing distribution from C₁₉ tricyclic terpane to C₂₄ tricyclic terpane and a high number of terrigenous-related biomarkers, such as C₂₄ tetracyclic terpane and C₂₉ steranes. The biomarker composition of Group B coals, which were deposited in a suboxic environment, have a higher abundance of rearranged hopanes than observed in Group A coals. In contrast, in Group C coals, the Pr/Ph ratio is less than 1.0, and the sterane and terpane distributions are very different from those in groups A and B. Group C coals generally have abnormally abundant tricyclic terpanes with a normal distribution maximising at the C₂₃ peak; C₂₇ steranes predominates in the m/z 217 mass fragmentograms. The relationships between biomarker compositions, thermal maturity, Pr/Ph ratios and depositional environments, indicate that the biomarker compositions of Carboniferous–Permian coals in Ordos Basin are mainly related to their depositional environment. This leads to the conclusion that the biomarker compositions of groups A and B coals collected from Shanxi and Taiyuan formations in the northern Ordos Basin are mainly related to their marine–terrigenous transitional environment, whereas the biomarker compositions for the Group C coals from Carboniferous strata and Shanxi Formation in the eastern Ordos Basin are associated with marine incursions.     

Petroleum geochemistry of the Potwar Basin, Pakistan: 1. Oil-oil correlation using biomarkers, δC and δD

Geochemical characterisation of 18 crude oils from the Potwar Basin (Upper Indus), Pakistan is carried out in this study. Their relative thermal maturities, environment of deposition, source of organic matter (OM) and the extent of biodegradation based on the hydrocarbon (HC) distributions are investigated. A detailed oil-oil correlation of the area is established. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analyses and bulk stable carbon and hydrogen isotopic compositions of saturated and aromatic HC fractions reveals three compositional groups of oils. Most of the oils from the basin are typically generated from shallow marine source rocks. However, group A contains terrigenous OM deposited under highly oxic/fluvio-deltaic conditions reflected by high pristane/phytane (Pr/Ph), C₃₀ diahopane/C₂₉Ts, diahopane/hopane and diasterane/sterane ratios and low dibenzothiophene (DBT)/phenanthrene (P) ratios. The abundance of C₁₉-tricyclic and C₂₄-tetracyclic terpanes are consistent with a predominant terrigenous OM source for group A. Saturated HC biomarker parameters from the rest of the oils show a predominant marine origin, however groups B and C are clearly separated by bulk δ¹³C and δD and the distributions of the saturated HC fractions supporting variations in source and environment of deposition of their respective source rocks. Moreover, various saturated HC biomarker ratios such as steranes/hopanes, diasteranes/steranes, C₂₃-tricyclic/C₃₀ hopane, C₂₈-tricyclic/C₃₀ hopane, total tricyclic terpanes/hopanes and C₃₁(R + S)/C₃₀ hopane show that two different groups are present. These biomarker ratios show that group B oils are generated from clastic-rich source rocks deposited under more suboxic depositional environments compared to group C oils. Group C oils show a relatively higher input of algal mixed with terrigenous OM, supported by the abundance of extended tricyclic terpanes (up to C₄₁₊) and steranes.Biomarker thermal maturity parameters mostly reached to their equilibrium values indicating that the source rocks for Potwar Basin oils must have reached the early to peak oil generation window, while aromatic HC parameters suggest up to late oil window thermal maturity. The extent of biodegradation of the Potwar Basin oils is determined using various saturated HC parameters and variations in bulk properties such as API gravity. Groups A and C oils are not biodegraded and show mature HC profiles, while some of the oils from group B show minor levels of biodegradation consistent with high Pr/n-C₁₇, Ph/n-C₁₈ and low API gravities.

渤海湾盆地南堡凹陷原油成因类型及其分布规律

南堡凹陷近年油气勘探取得了重大突破,为揭示该区滩海与陆地油气成因及分布规律,对67个原油和油砂样品进行了详细的地球化学研究。南堡凹陷原油具有低硫、中高蜡含量特征,陆相成因特点显著。共分为4种类型原油:(1)陆地沙三段深部层系原油,具有高4-甲基甾烷丰度、低奥利烷丰度与低甲基菲指数值和轻微偏高成熟度特征;(2)陆地Es1—Ed原油与Ng和Nm原油,其特征与第一类原油相反;上第三系原油普遍遭遇生物降解;(3)滩海东营组原油,以较高伽马蜡烷/C30藿烷和高甾烷/藿烷值区别于陆地原油;(4)滩海奥陶系潜山原油,具有低丰度甾萜类生物标志物、相对高丰度孕甾烷、三环萜烷与重排甾烷系列等特征,显示较高成熟度。上述4种成因类型原油指示南堡凹陷陆地、滩海均存在多层导有利烃源岩;同层位中滩海Es1-Ed存在较陆地更为优越的有利烃源岩,南堡滩海地区具有广泛的油气勘探前景。
