Problems solved by technology

Crude oil is rich in sulfur-containing compounds, some of which come from source rocks, and some come from organic-inorganic interactions in reservoirs. Therefore, the sulfur isotope of crude oil is a mixed value, and it is difficult to accurately determine the parent source.

Abstract

The invention provides a method for determining oil sources by using sulfur isotopes in monomer sulfur-containing compounds of crude oil. The method comprises the following steps: crude oil is dissolved in ethanol, dichloromethane or dichloroethane, an alkylating reagent is added, and filtrate is obtained after a reaction; ethanol, dichloromethane or dichloroethane are removed from the filtrate, and oily substances are obtained; the oily substances and an alkane solvent of C5-C7 are mixed, and separation is carried out for deposition; the deposition is dissolved in dichloromethane, trichloromethane or acetonitrile, a first dealkylating reagent is added, and a solution A is obtained; extraction is carried out, and a thiophene compound and a solution B are obtained; a second dealkylating reagent is added into the solution B for carrying out a second dealkylation reaction, and a solution C is obtained; extraction is carried out, and a thioether compound is obtained; sulfur isotopic distribution of monomers in the thiophene compound and the thioether compound as well as sulfur isotopic distribution of sulfate in an oil-generating rock stratum system are determined; two sulfur isotopic distributions are compared, and the stratum whose isotopic distribution is most close to is the oil source layer.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for determining an oil source by utilizing sulfur isotopes in a sulfur-containing compound of crude oil, and belongs to the technical field of oil and gas exploration. Background technique [0002] Oil-source correlation is a key link in oil and gas exploration, which is related to the selection of favorable exploration zones and the evaluation of resource potential. Oil-source correlation is difficult due to the loss of biomarker compounds or the similarity of biomarker compounds in multiple sets of strata. For example, whether marine oil and gas in the Tarim Basin come from Cambrian source rocks or Ordovician source rocks? Or mixed sources, etc., there has always been controversy; another example, whether the condensate oil in the Leikoupo Formation in the Zhongba Gas Field in the Sichuan Basin is a marine strata or is generated by the Triassic continental source rocks, etc. There are more or less problems in oil-so...
