An immature sulfur-rich marl from the Gessosso-solfifera Formation of the Vena del Gesso Basin (Messinian, Italy) has been subjected to hydrous pyrolysis (160 to 330°C) to simulate maturation under natural conditions. The kerogen of the unheated and heated samples was isolated and the hydrocarbons released by selective chemical degradation (Li/EtNH₂ and HI/LiAlH₄) were analysed to allow a study of the fate of sulfur- and oxygen-bound species with increasing temperature. The residues from the chemical treatments were also subjected to pyrolysis–GC to follow structural changes in the kerogens. In general, with increasing hydrous pyrolysis temperature, the amounts of sulfide- and ether-bound components in the kerogen decreased significantly. At the temperature at which the generation of expelled oil began (260°C), almost all of the bound components initially present in the unheated sample were released from the kerogen. Comparison with an earlier study of the extractable organic matter using a similar approach and the same samples provides molecular evidence that, with increasing maturation, solvent-soluble macromolecular material was initially released from the kerogen, notably as a result of thermal cleavage of weak carbon–heteroatom bonds (sulfide, ester, ether) even at temperatures as low as 220°C. This solvent-soluble macromolecular material then underwent thermal cleavage to generate hydrocarbons at higher temperatures. This early generation of bitumen may explain the presence of unusually high amounts of extractable organic matter of macromolecular nature in very immature S-rich sediments.  相似文献   

层控矿床有机地球化学初步研究     

胡明安 《地球科学》1988,(2)

地史上由生物死亡后变成的各种有机物质会遭到各种地质作用的改造,尤其是热液活动、岩浆侵入、放射性元素蜕变以及构造变动等地质因素所引起的热能,会使矿床中(主岩中)的有机物出现成熟异常现象。通过对某些层控矿床中有机物质的研究,可以解释成矿物质的来源、沉淀富集机理、含矿热液运移路线和主岩的沉积环境,并且可以指示矿体的大致分布范围,指导找矿勘探。  相似文献   

Electron spin resonance of stabilized free radicals in sedimentary organic matter     

Zeev Aizenshtat  Ida Pinsky  Baruch Spiro   《Organic Geochemistry》1986,9(6)

Electron spin resonance (ESR) is evaluated as a method to study the thermal degradation of sedimentary organic matter which consists mainly of kerogen. Whole rock and separated kerogen samples were pyrolysed stepwise (ambient to 700°C at 50°C increments), extracted and analysed for elemental composition and ESR spectra at each step. Whole rock samples give rise to complex spectra which include those of paramagnetic metals and are therefore unsuitable in most cases for this purpose.The ESR parameters g value, ΔH and N_g differ for different types of immature organic matter. An increase in N_g,shift of g value to 2.0026–2.0028 and reduction in h are the main trends during pyrolysis and in natural heating of sedimentary organic matter.The peak generations of liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons coincide with maxima of free radical density. ESR spectroscopy in combination with complementary geochemical characterization of the sedimentary organic matter can serve to indicate maturity with respect to peak oil-gas generation.  相似文献   

Molecular fossils from chemical degradation of macromolecular organic matter     

Bernd Mycke  Walter Michaelis 《Organic Geochemistry》1986,10(4-6)

Hydrogenolysis with rhodium-on-charcoal was found to be an effective method for degrading different types of macromolecular material of geological origin. Between 6 and 70% of coals, kerogens and humic substances were transferred into low-molecular-weight soluble materials. The reaction products contained a series of monomeric and dimeric lignin-derived compounds which strongly suggest intact fossil lignin as their source. The substitutional patterns of the released phenols reflect the type and amount of terrestrial organic matter input and diagenetic alterations.In addition to the lignin constituents, a complete suite of hydrocarbons differing from those of the low-molecular-weight fraction was obtained after hydrogenolysis of the sample material. Hydrocarbons released by the hydrogenolytic degradation technique were attached to the polymeric matrix as monoor polyethers. Deuterium was used in the degradation experiment to evaluate the sites of chemical bonds by which 4-methylsteranes and hopanes are attached to the kerogen matrix. These experiments suggested a linkage of the released molecules with ring A and the side-chain, respectively.  相似文献

Pyrolysis-GC characterization of whole rock and kerogen-concentrate samples of immature Jurassic source rocks from NW-Germany     

Carol Arnosti  Peter J. Müller   《Organic Geochemistry》1987,11(6)

Nine rock samples from three Jurassic stratigraphic units of a shallow core from NW Germany were analyzed by pyrolysis-gas chromatography. The units contain a mixed Type-II/III kerogen (Dogger-α), a hydrogen-rich Type-II kerogen (Lias-), and a hydrogen-poor Type-III kerogen (Lias-δ). All of the kerogen was immature (R_o = 0.5%). Two sets of kerogen concentrates (“AD”: HCl/HF followed by a density separation, and “A”: only acid treatment) prepared from the rock samples were also analyzed to make a detailed comparison of the pyrolysates of rock and corresponding kerogen-concentrates.Hydrogen-index (HI) values of the kerogen concentrates prepared from organic-carbon poor rock were nearly 200% higher than HI values of the rock samples. Changes in HI were minimal for the samples containing Type-II kerogen. The A and AD samples from the C_org-poor rock yielded pyrolysates with n-alkane series of very different molecular lengths. Pyrograms of the rock samples had n-alkane series extending to n-C₁₄; the chromatograms of the A samples reached the n-C₁₄-nC₂₀ range. The AD samples from C_org-poor rock and all three sample types from the C_org-rich rock had n-alkane series up to n-C₂₉. The benzene/hexane and toluene/heptane ratios for the C_org-poor rock and A samples were far higher than for the AD samples, which had ratios similar to those of all three sample types from the C_org-rich rocks. These results indicate that choice of kerogen preparation method is critical when C_org-poor samples are analyzed.  相似文献   

柴达木盆地欧南凹陷上石炭统克鲁克组海陆过渡型烃源岩有机质组成及生烃特征

柴达木盆地北缘东段欧南凹陷上石炭统克鲁克组海陆交互混积型储层中获得良好油气发现,但该层段内烃源岩海陆混合型生物有机质组分及类型、生烃差异性等基础性问题的认识尚不清楚。选择尕海南山南坡柏树沟剖面克鲁克组烃源岩开展有机地球化学、XRD、岩石薄片、SEM等分析测试,研究了岩性及组分、丰度质量及类型、可溶有机质族组分及生烃母质等,结果表明：克鲁克组烃源岩残余有机质丰度总体较高,原始生烃能力强,处于高成熟演化阶段,残留腐殖型(Ⅲ型)为主的干酪根,可溶有机质主要来源于海洋低等水生生物有机质母质(Ⅱ型),反映出海陆两相混源生物有机质的特征,海相有机质在前次生烃过程中对生烃量的贡献相对高于陆源生物。大量放射虫等浮游硅质生物是克鲁克组烃源岩海相有机质的主要组分,是海相干酪根的主力生烃物质;晚石炭世,欧南凹陷南部古陆和北部海槽分别向凹陷提供陆相高等植物和海洋低等水生生物或富硅上升流,海相有机质的富集与硅质生物活动直接相关。该研究认识为探索石炭系有机质富集机制和优质烃源岩分布规律提供了参考依据,也对区域性油气勘探部署具有指导意义。  相似文献

我国海相碳酸盐岩地层分布广泛,厚度巨大,经历的地质历史较长,特点是有机质丰度低,多处于高过成熟阶段.碳酸盐岩烃源岩评价对我国的油气资源评价与勘探至关重要.用生烃动力学方法来研究碳酸盐岩生油气过程是一个值得探索的研究方向.本文通过生烃动力学热模拟实验,求取了碳酸盐岩全岩和其干酪根不同烃类组分(甲烷、 C2～ C5气态烃)的生成动力学参数并进行对比.结果表明,在生烃动力学热解实验中,全岩和其干酪根具有相似的动力学参数,采用烃源岩应该比干酪根更符合实际,但是干酪根样品可以测得更为详细的实验数据,因此可以根据样品的情况,选择合理且易行的实验条件.在此基础上,以本文得到的参数作为参照指标,用动力学方法外推到地质实际中,可准确地提出适合我国的碳酸盐岩生烃定量模型,能为碳酸盐岩的资源评估等方面给出定量数值,从而为有效烃源岩的定量评价提供一种新的方法和途径.  相似文献   

干酪根中类脂肪链含量的测定及石油地质意义     

张学军  严晓虎  李佩珍  苗得玉  胡文瑄  刘庆 《沉积学报》2004,22(4):711-717

选取了红外光谱中2750～3000cm-1C-H振动峰面积作为反映干酪根中脂肪链含量的特征参数,并以完全饱和脂肪链的微晶石蜡为基准,建立了对干酪根中脂肪链含量进行测定的实验方法,同时讨论了实验条件、无机矿物、干酪根样品加入量等因素的影响。并通过对东营地区不同类型干酪根的低熟烃源岩样品进行的高压热模拟实验,研究了干酪根中脂肪链的百分含量与成熟度、沥青转化率及干酪根原素组成之间的关系。结果表明干酪根中脂肪链含量不仅与干酪根的类型有关,而且随成熟作用增加明显降低,其与热模拟生油量的关系和烃源岩的产烃率曲线相似,在脂肪链含量由15%降至5%时出现一个生油高峰。所以,脂肪链百分含量这一参数有可能成为烃源岩的判别及评价的一个新的重要指标。  相似文献
