Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of petroleum geological exploration, and in particular to a method for identifying a crude oil parent material deposition environment. Background Art

[0002] There are obvious differences in geochemical characteristics between crude oils from different parent materials. Accurate identification of the parent material depositional environment of crude oil is of great significance for oil source comparison, determination of oil and gas migration paths and reservoir formation patterns. On the one hand, the original source of crude oil can be determined by analyzing biomarker compounds, carbon isotope ratios, and specific organic compounds (such as odd-even dominance of n-alkanes, Pr / Ph values, etc.) in crude oil. This helps to identify specific depositional environments, such as deepwater anoxic environments or shallow water oxygen-rich environments, so as to determine whether algae, bacteria or terrestrial vegetation are the main sources of organic matter. This comparison is the basis for determining whether the oil in the oil and gas field comes from the same source rock. On the other hand, understanding the parent material depositional environment of crude oil helps to infer the movement trajectory of oil and gas in the crust. Different depositional environments may produce hydrocarbons of different properties, and these characteristics can indicate the flow direction and distance of oil and gas in the formation. For example, oil formed from a deepwater environment may migrate upward through deep structural channels, while oil formed from terrestrial sediments may migrate laterally along river paleochannels or sand bodies. On the other hand, the accumulation mode involves how oil and gas accumulate in a specific geological structure. The identification of the parent material environment helps to understand the conditions for the formation of oil and gas reservoirs, such as whether they are in situ accumulation (source oil reservoir) or accumulation after long-distance migration. Different sedimentary environments have a direct impact on the requirements of caprocks and the formation mechanism of closures, which is crucial for exploring new oil and gas reservoirs and evaluating the potential of existing oil and gas reservoirs. In addition, accurate parent material environment analysis can guide exploration work, determine which areas are most likely to contain rich source rocks, and predict possible oil and gas accumulation zones. This helps to optimize drilling locations and reduce exploration risks and costs.

[0003] Conventional geochemical methods use a combination of biomarker compounds to identify the depositional environment of crude oil parent materials, such as a method for analyzing oil and gas geochemical characteristics disclosed in publication number CN105572324A, which analyzes the environment of crude oil parent materials by 1) statistically analyzing the physical properties of crude oil, 2) detecting the composition of light hydrocarbons in crude oil, 3) comparing the molecular weight hydrocarbons of crude oil, 4) detecting biomarker compounds in crude oil, and 5) analyzing the geochemical characteristics of natural gas. However, such analysis methods are easily affected by secondary effects such as maturity and biodegradation. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a method that can accurately identify the depositional environment of crude oil parent materials and is less affected by secondary effects, and has universal applicability. Summary of the invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that the existing methods for identifying the depositional environment of crude oil parent material are easily affected by secondary effects such as maturity and biodegradation. The purpose is to provide a method for identifying the depositional environment of crude oil parent material, which is less affected by secondary effects, improves the accuracy of crude oil parent material depositional environment analysis, and facilitates the comparison of oil sources in sedimentary basins and the study of oil and gas migration paths.

[0132] The plotting results of the standard samples in step S14 are shown in the appendix Figure 1 . According to Figure 1 , it can be known that the heavier the 13 C isotope of fluorene, the more it indicates the contribution of terrestrial higher plants, and the higher the Pr / Ph, the more oxidized the sedimentary environment.

[0133] An identification chart is established according to the plotting results, as shown in the appendix Figure 2 . It is divided into 5 regions in total. Among them, region 1 ( 13 C isotope < -28‰, Pr / Ph < 1.5) indicates that the parent sedimentary environment of the crude oil is marine and the source is low aquatic organisms; region 2 ( 13 C isotope < -26‰, 1.5 < Pr / Ph ≤ 2) indicates brackish lake facies and the source is algae and bacteria; region 3 ( 13 C isotope < -26‰, Pr / Ph > 2) indicates river / delta / freshwater lake facies and the source is mixed organic matter; region 4 ( 13 C isotope > -28‰, Pr / Ph ≤ 1.5) indicates transitional marine and terrestrial facies and the main source is higher plants; region 5 ( 13C isotope>-26‰, Pr / Ph>1.5) indicates coastal swamp facies and higher plant origin.

[0134] The Pr / Ph value of the crude oil sample to be identified and the 13 The C isotopes are shown in Table 2.

[0137] The Pr / Ph value of the crude oil sample to be identified and the 13 C isotope projection to the identification plate, see attached Figure 3 ,The results show that the crude oil parent material depositional environment is river / delta / freshwater lake phase, with mixed organic matter sources, which is consistent with the actual geological conditions.
