Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of oil and gas exploration, especially the tracking of migration paths in the process of oil and gas accumulation, specifically a method using C 29 The method of sterane isomerization parameters to characterize oil and gas migration direction and migration mode. Background technique [0002] At present, the research methods widely used at home and abroad to trace oil and gas migration paths mainly include crude oil physical property method, gas-oil ratio method, maturity method, geochemical index method (including hydrocarbon biomarker compound method and non-hydrocarbon nitrogen-containing compound method). )Wait. The tracing principle is that during the migration of oil and gas underground, physical adsorption and desorption or chemical dissolution and analysis will occur between the hydrocarbon components and the surface of solid particles, and the hydrocarbon components will be separated in an orderly m...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Each method shows certain adaptability and sensitivity to different geological conditions. Among them, the crude oil physical property method and the gas-oil ratio method have very strict requirements on the temperature, pressure and storage conditions of the reservoir, and their application is greatly restricted. Compounds are trace components in crude oil, so they are greatly affected by separation and analysis methods. Therefore, the hydrocarbon biomarker method is currently the most commonly used method. Early Seifert et al. proposed the use of sterane isomerization parameters for oil and gas migration analysis. However, it only uses the parameter combination diagram to clarify whether oil and gas migrate, and has not covered the migration direction and migration mechanism.
