Application of quantitative grain fluorescence techniques to study subtle oil migration pathway of lithological reservoir

This paper analyzes the quantitative grain fluorescence (QGF) and quantitative grain fluorescence on extract (QGF-E) properties of 101 rock samples by using quantitative grain fluorescence techniques. The samples are collected from five wells in tight sandstone and thin siltstone in the third sector of the Shahejie Formation in the Niuzhuang sag of the Dongying depression. It was observed that both the tight sandstone and thin siltstone show relatively high fluorescence intensity of hydrocarbon, which suggests that they are possibly good subtle oil-migration pathways in the present or geological time. These thin subtle oil-migration pathways afford important clues for the researches on hydrocarbon accumulation in lithological reservoirs in the middle and lower of Es ₃ in deep sag zone, which has the hydrocarbon source from the upper of Es ₄ when there is no apparent fault playing oil migration conduits to connect lithologic traps and deep source rocks. This study shows good prospect of QGF techniques in discriminating oil migration pathways and paleo-oil zones. The results of this study may be of great significance to the researches on hydrocarbon accumulation mechanism of subtle reservoirs in the Dongying depression and other areas. __________ Translated from Acta Geologica Sinica, 2007, 81(2): 250–254 [译自: 地质学报]     

东营凹陷牛庄-六户洼陷沙河街组三段下亚段烃源岩排烃通道及证据

通过岩心和薄片镜下观测、包裹体荧光分析、扫描电镜、QGF-E和X-CT等技术对东营凹陷牛庄—六户洼陷沙河街组下亚段(简称沙三下)烃源岩的排烃通道进行了判识,结果表明:①源岩内部的裂缝(包括沿层理面的顺层裂缝、与层理面斜交的裂缝和成岩收缩缝)多被固体沥青所充填,且充填裂缝的方解石脉体中存在大量发亮黄色荧光的油包裹体,说明裂缝充当了源岩排烃的有效通道;②牛24、牛83等4口井的73块与烃源岩互层的薄层砂岩样品的QGF-E荧光强度值绝大多数大于120pc(约占分析样品总数的78.6%),仅少数样品的荧光强度小于40pc,说明大多数薄层砂岩充当了源岩内部烃类侧向排出的通道;③扫描电镜和高分辨率X-CT扫描结果显示,Es3下烃源岩样品中干酪根网络分布连续,按照Hunt(1967)确定的有机质中烃类含量的下限标准(2.5%~10%),高有机质丰度和转化率的Es3下烃源岩存在通过干酪根网络的排烃机制。     

应用定量颗粒荧光技术研究岩性油气藏的隐蔽输导通道

应用定量颗粒荧光技术对东营凹陷牛庄洼陷5口井101块沙三段致密储层、薄层粉砂岩进行了定量荧光QGF-E和QGF分析。分析表明,牛24、牛83、牛876、王550、牛872等5口井致密薄储层颗粒具有相对较高的荧光,显示这些较致密的粉砂岩为过去或现在的油气运移路径/运载层,表明致密砂岩、粉砂岩、薄层砂岩可作为烃类运移的通道。这类薄层隐蔽输导通道为深凹带牛庄洼陷深部沙四段上亚段烃源岩生成的油气进入无断层切割的沙三段中、下亚段的砂岩透镜体而成藏提供了重要的依据。该研究结果对于东营凹陷正在进行的隐蔽油气藏成藏机理的研究可能具有重要意义。     

东营凹陷原油、储层吸附烃全扫描荧光特征与应用

应用全扫描荧光分析(TSF、QGF-E)技术对东营凹陷沙河街组40个原油、15个储层包裹烃、39个储层砂吸附烃的三维荧光特征进行了定性与定量分析。分析表明,原油与包裹烃的TSF指纹特征总体相似,均为单峰型,指示油气成因具有内在的联系。观察到不同原油TSF强度峰宽与最高值有异,低成熟度样品往往具有较高的TSF强度及较宽的峰。进一步分析表明,原油TSF最高强度、TSF定量参数R1[270nm(Em360nm/Em320nm)]、R2[260nm(Em360nm/Em320nm)]与生物标志物成熟度参数C29甾烷ααα20S/(S+R)、Ts/(Tm+Ts)等有较好的线性正相关性,反映TSF荧光指纹特征及其定量参数可作为一种温标用于热成熟度分析。应用TSF技术确认东营凹陷中央隆起带原油成熟度具有自西南向东北逐渐降低的变化规律,其反映了油源与油气充注方面的重要信息。对东营凹陷牛庄洼陷两口井的储层砂的QGF-E分析表明,颗粒样品所在层段的烃类含量普遍较高,反映致密薄层砂、微裂缝等可能为该洼陷岩性油气藏重要的隐蔽型油气运移通道。TSF、QGF-E技术在油气族群、储层含油气性、油气运移路径与油层识别等方面具有广泛的应用前景。
