Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of petroleum and natural gas geological exploration, and in particular to a device system and method for determining carbon and oxygen isotopes in micro-area carbonate rocks. Background Art
[0002] Carbon and oxygen isotope analysis of carbonate rocks is an important part of carbonate geochemical research and is widely used in carbonate oil and gas geological research. However, the conventional phosphoric acid dissolution method for carbonate carbon and oxygen isotope analysis measures the carbon and oxygen isotopes of mixed components, and cannot separately analyze the structural components of carbonate rocks such as particles, mud, cement, grains and biological frameworks, which limits its application in carbonate geology. Therefore, improving the spatial resolution of carbonate carbon and oxygen isotope analysis, that is, conducting micro-area sampling research, has gradually become the key.
[0003] In the 1990s, a domestic project team led by Professor Qiang Zitong successfully developed a laser micro-area offline sampling device that can be used to analyze the micro-area structure of carbonates. The principle is: in a vacuum of 10 -5 Under the condition of Pa, guided by a helium-neon laser (red light), the target to be analyzed in the sample box is found under a microscope and imaging system, and the laser is started. Under the action of heat, the carbonate decomposes to produce carbon dioxide gas, which is purified in a vacuum purification system using the cold trap principle, and then collected and sent to a mass spectrometer for carbon and oxygen isotope determination. However, the vacuum purification equipment uses a long vacuum pumping time, cumbersome sampling procedures, and low sampling efficiency; at the same time, the sample needs to be transferred to the collection bottle, and the trace gas is further diluted, so the micro-area area is required to be at least 300μm×300μm to meet the instrument test intensity requirements. Therefore, many structural components cannot be analyzed due to their small area.
[0004] CN 110794067A discloses a sample preparation device and method for micro-area analysis of carbonate carbon-oxygen isotopes, which comprises a phosphoric acid capillary micro-injector and a carbonate sample pool; a helium inlet and a carbon dioxide outlet are respectively arranged on the side of the carbonate sample pool cavity, and a microinjection needle opening is arranged on the top cover; the outlet of the phosphoric acid capillary micro-injector injects phosphoric acid into the sample in the carbonate sample pool through a microinjection needle, and the carbon dioxide outlet is connected to a carbon-oxygen isotope tester; a sample rack is mounted on an electrically controlled three-axis sample stage, and a temperature control plate is arranged at the bottom of the sample rack. The invention adopts a microinjection needle to inject phosphoric acid micro-droplets to react with carbonate samples, but there is a problem of relatively complex reaction control.
[0005] CN 116413104A discloses an ultraviolet laser ablation-gas isotope mass spectrometry carbonate carbon and oxygen isotope micro-area in-situ analysis system and method, which utilizes an ultraviolet laser with a wavelength of 193nm to ablate carbonate aerosol particles from a sample to be tested in a closed environment; utilizes a helium flow to carry the ablated carbonate aerosol particles into a CO2 gas preparation device in a closed environment for reaction to obtain a mixed gas containing CO2 gas; enriches and purifies the mixed gas containing CO2 gas to obtain target CO2 gas; utilizes a back-blowing helium flow to supply the target CO2 gas to a gas isotope ratio mass spectrometer through a micro-dividing interface to obtain the test result. In the invention, the carbon dioxide gas is not further purified, which will lead to a decrease in the test accuracy.

[0091] Application Example 1
[0092] This application example provides a method for measuring carbon and oxygen isotopes in micro-area carbonate rocks using the measuring device system provided in Example 1, and the method comprises the following steps:
[0093] Helium with a flow rate of 120 ml / min was introduced, and the gas outlet of the sample cell was closed to test the air tightness of the sample cell. Then, the sample cell and pipeline were purged with helium until the baseline background of the carbon dioxide gas test was 4 mV.

[0094] The method provided in this application example includes the following steps:
[0095] (1) Conduct core observation and sample typical phenomena: The carbonate rock samples come from the first section of the Dengying Formation in the Sichuan Basin. The core observation mainly includes the description of rock type, sedimentary structure, diagenetic phenomenon and reservoir characteristics, and preliminarily determines the rock depositional environment and epigenetic transformation. The sampled carbonate rock samples need to cover as many diagenetic phenomena as possible to reveal as much diagenetic information as possible. The sample size is 6 cm × 3 cm × 3 cm;
[0096] (2) Indoor sample preparation, peeling and cleaning: Cut and grind the structure to be analyzed in the carbonate rock sample into thin sections with a thickness of 60 μm and a length and width of 3 cm × 3 cm. Use fir glue to prepare the thin sections. After the thin sections are prepared, peel them off and clean the fir glue stuck on the thin sections. The specific operation includes: baking the thin sections on a resistance furnace for 1 min, taking out the thin sections and soaking them in anhydrous ethanol for 10 min, then repeatedly wiping the fir glue on the thin sections with cotton balls, and drying them at 105°C for analysis. Before testing, find the carbonate structure to be analyzed under a microscope.
[0097] (3) Enrichment of carbon dioxide mixed gas: Place the slice in the sample pool, control the helium flow rate to 120 ml / min, perform airtightness test on the sample pool, and then use helium to purge the sample pool and pipeline until the carbon dioxide gas test baseline background is 4 mV; find the structure to be analyzed under a microscope, use the red light emitted by the He-Ne collimated laser as a guide, start the Nd:YAG laser, and perform laser ablation on the carbonate rock sample slice at a current of 15 A for 8 seconds. The ablation point area is 150 μm × 150 μm, and the generated carbon dioxide mixed gas is enriched in the cold trap;
[0098] (4) Transfer and purification of carbon dioxide gas: Remove the liquid nitrogen outside the cold trap, release the carbon dioxide mixed gas in a centralized manner, and pass through a water removal device, an impurity adsorption device, and a quartz capillary column in sequence to remove water, organic hydrocarbon compounds, and sulfides in the carbon dioxide mixed gas, and then separate it from O2 and CO in sequence. The resulting purified carbon dioxide gas passes through an open splitter device and a needle valve of a continuous flow gas stable isotope mass spectrometer and enters a continuous flow gas stable isotope mass spectrometer for carbon and oxygen isotope determination;
[0099] (5) Carbon and oxygen isotope test of carbon dioxide gas: Check the working status of the continuous flow gas stable isotope mass spectrometer, and use the thin slices made of national standard samples GBW04405 and GBW04406 to calibrate the carbon and oxygen stable isotopes; edit the test method and test program in the control interface of the continuous flow stable isotope mass spectrometer, execute the test program to start the test, and obtain the carbon and oxygen isotope values of the purified carbon dioxide gas.
[0100] The test accuracy of the obtained carbon isotope is 0.12‰, and the test accuracy of the oxygen isotope is 0.18‰, indicating that the test accuracy of carbon and oxygen isotopes is relatively high.

[0104] Application Example 3
[0105] This application example provides a method for determining carbon and oxygen isotopes in micro-area carbonate rocks using the determination device system provided in Example 2. The steps of the method are the same as those in Application Example 1.
[0106] The test accuracy of the obtained carbon isotope is 0.2‰, and the test accuracy of the oxygen isotope is 0.3‰, which shows that the adsorption of organic matter and sulfur in the carbon dioxide mixture is incomplete, which has a great influence on the test accuracy of carbon and oxygen isotopes.
[0107] Application Example 4
[0108] This application example provides a method for determining carbon and oxygen isotopes in micro-area carbonate rocks using the determination device system provided in Example 3. The steps of the method are the same as those in Application Example 1.
[0109] The test accuracy of the obtained carbon isotope is 0.25‰, and the test accuracy of the oxygen isotope is 0.36‰, which indicates that the water removal effect in the carbon dioxide mixed gas is reduced, which has a great impact on the test accuracy of carbon and oxygen isotopes.
[0110] Comparative application example 1
[0111] This comparative application example provides a method for determining carbon and oxygen isotopes in micro-area carbonate rocks using the determination device system provided in Comparative Example 1.
