Source Analysis of Oil and Gas Indication in Muli Depression of South Qilian Basin:A Thermal Simulation Case Study of DK-9 Core

Multiple gas hydrate boreholes in the Muli Depression (South Qilian Basin) have encountered varying coexistence of hydrates and oil-gas, indicating good potential for oil and gas exploration. It is thus necessary to perform source analysis on the discovered oil and gas indications. In this study, four groups of oil and gas samples from borehole DK-9 were studied. Due to the limited drilling depth, on the basis of oil source comparison of existing source rocks, thermal simulation was conducted on five representative lowly-mature source rocks (Middle Jurassic and Upper Triassic) to constrain the hydrocarbon generation process. The results were then compared with the oil and gas to further constrain their source. The results reveal that the oil and gas indications can be divided into two types: (Ⅰ) those with biodegradation and are slightly more mature, and (Ⅱ) those that are slightly less mature. The source rocks comprise mainly three types, corresponding to 163.30-207.42 m, 207.42-348.50 m, and 357.90-586.50 m depths, respectively. Considering also the conventional oil source comparison, the thermal simulation and the geological condition analysis, it is concluded that type I oil and gas is mainly homologous with type I source rocks. Type Ⅱ oil and gas may have had the same origin as type Ⅱ source rocks, and may also be contributed by type Ⅲ source rocks and/or deeper source rocks, i.e., its parent material is related to both the Middle Jurassic and the Upper Triassic source rocks.
