Occurrence of Highly Mature Organic Matter in Marine Black Shale Petroleum Source Rocks of Basal Cambrian from Northern Tarim Basin, China

More and more evidence indicates that organic matter (OM) in immature organicrich sediments and sedimentary rocks is chemically adsorbed onto the outer surfaces of minerals and into interlayer (inner) surfaces of smectitic clay minerals in the form of amorphous molecular-scale carbon. But there have been few reports about the occurrence of highly mature OM in marine black shales ( petroleum source rocks ). The occurrence of highly mature OM in the black shales of basal Cambrian from northern Tarim Basin is studied in this paper. Based on the comprehensive analyses of total organic carbon contents (TOC) , maximum thermolysis tempera tures ( Tmax ) of OM, mineral surface areas (MSA) ,and scanning electronic microscopic (SEM) and transmission electronic microscopic (TEM) observations of the black shales, it is concluded that the highly mature OM in the marine black shales of the basal Cambrian from northern Tarim Basin occurs in particulates ranging in size from 1 to 5 μm in diameter. Through the contrast of the occurrence of the highly mature OM in the black shales with that of the immature ones in modern marine continental margin sediments, some scientific problems are proposed, which are worth to study further in detail.

森林沼泽区富含有机质样品中金的存在形式及对分析的影响

为探讨中国东北森林沼泽地区富含有机质样品中金偏低的原因,采用了王水溶矿法和四酸溶矿法的AAS分析来测定样品中的Au。用四酸溶矿法驱除硅胶,明显地提高金的测定值,特别是对含量大于10-9的样品,2种分析方法的差别更大。通过以上研究发现,在森林沼泽区的富含有机质样品中,金除以有机质结合形式存在于介质中,还可能以胶体或纳米形式存在于样品中,并被SiO₂胶体所包裹,在高浓度有机酸的保护下,金能在水溶液中呈活动形式做长距离迁移;但用王水溶矿法不能测定出这种被SiO₂胶体包裹形式的金。     

TOC changes in the process of thermal evolution of source rock and its controls

Through geological observation, simulation in laboratory and numerical modeling, the factors that control the changes in total organic content (TOC) of source rock have been studied. When the formula DTOC=(TOC0-TOC)/TOC0 (original organic carbon content in the rock) is used to measure the TOC (total organic carbon content) changes in the source rock through geological time, the degrees and directions of such changes are determined by losses and relative amounts both of organic and inorganic matter in the source rock. The DTOC equation, which is used to calculate the loss rate in the process of maturation for the source rock, is therefore obtained by analyzing the mass balance relations. For a certain type of source rock with a certain maturation history, the changes of its TOC respond only to the rates of hydrocarbon generation and expulsion. In actual cases of geological entities, DTOC generally ranges from -0.05 to 0.2, while the calculated reconversion coefficient (k) for organic carbon content remains between 0.90 and 1.25. Only in an ideal situation where there are extremely high rates of hydrocarbon generation and expulsion can the DTOC value experience significant changes, with k reaching up to 2.5. It is concluded, therefore, that the criterion for carbonates source rock assessment, based on reconverting the TOC to the value of its original state, may have overestimated the course of the "carbon-reduction", which is likely in many cases to make a poor source rock sound better.     

Study on the threshold value of organic enrichment of carbonate as gas source rocks

In this paper, calculations have been performed about gas quantity of generation, adsorption, dissolving in oil, dissolving in water, diffusion of unit area carbonate rocks at different geologic conditions in the Tarim basin. According to the material balance principle, the corresponding organic carbon content when gas started expelling from source rocks with separate phases has been worked out. We regard it as the theoretical threshold value (TOCmin) of gas source rocks under the same geologic condition. Based on the simulating calculation, a fact has been discovered that TOCmin decreases with the increasing source rocks thickness, decreases at the beginning and then increases with the increasing maturity and decreases with the better type of organic matter. TOCmin evaluation table of carbonate gas source rocks in the Tarim basin has been established. Investigations indicate that the TOCmin of carbonate gas source rocks varies greatly with the differences of geologic conditions, and gas source rocks cannot be evaluated with a unified TOC threshold value. And we also establish a preliminary evaluation table of TOC industrial threshold value, TOCgy, of carbonate gas source rocks in the Tarim basin.     

松辽盆地湖相泥岩地层有机碳分布特征及层序分析

松辽盆地湖相泥岩地层中有机碳呈有规律的分布。在纵向上,特定的地层沉积单元常显示出底部有机碳含量高而向上含量逐渐减小的变化趋势。这种变化规律与相对湖平面的升降及沉积物的供给有关,并且可以在电阻率和声波时差叠覆曲线上以不同程度的幅度差表现出来。根据这种叠覆的测井曲线对松辽盆地英台地区嫩江组泥岩地层中的有机质丰度以及地层层序进行了分析。英台地区嫩江组一、二段泥岩地层以嫩一段和嫩二段下部地层的有机质丰度较高。从泥岩层序对比及测井曲线幅度差分析,该时期英台地区沉积物源来自于北部,其南部烃源岩有机质含量要高于北部。以嫩江组为主要烃源岩的黑帝庙油层的勘探也证实了这一点.
