Abstract: | The diagenetic mechanism and process of carbonate rocks, which is different to that of clastic rocks, decides the existence
of different existing state organic matters in carbonate rocks. This has been verified by both the microscopic observation
of organic petrology and the analysis of organic geochemistry of many samples. Based on the hydrous pyrolysis simulation experiment
of the low-mature carbonate rocks, the contrasting study on the yield and their geochemistry characteristics of different
existing state soluble organic matters of a series of various maturity samples shows that the different existing state organic
matters make different contributions to hydrocarbon generation during every evolution state. So that, the hydrocarbon generation
process of carbonate rocks can be summarized as the following three stages: the first is the direct degradation of biogenic
bitumen macromolecules during the immature stage, the second is the thermal degradation of a large amount of kerogen at the
mature stage, the last stage is the expulsion or release of inclusion organic matter owing to the increased thermal expansion
pressure during the high evolution stage.
