英文摘要 | This paper discusses the effect of the source rock-reservoir assemblage and the assemblage-induced variability in hydrocarbon expulsion and the subsequent molecular composition as well as molecular thermal maturity within a hybrid shale system. The characterization work was conducted on lithofacies and microlamina scales using core samples from the Chang 73 sub-member of the Triassic Yanchang Formation in the Ordos Basin, China. Samples were collected from a narrow interval with a depth range of less than 15 m, and the main characterization work was performed by Rock-Eval pyrolysis and GC-MS analysis. The results show that chemical fractionation of preferential expulsion and migration of the saturated fraction exists in the source rock-reservoir assemblages at both the lithofacies and lamina scales. However, the molecular composition behaves differently at the lithofacies and lamina scale's source rock-reservoir assemblages, in which EC21_/EC22+ is higher in lamina scale reservoir but lower in lithofacies scale reservoir. It is assumed that the low-molecular weight n-alkanes also follow mo-lecular fractionation. The lithofacies reservoir has a lower EC21_/EC22+ because of the strong storage capacity of the laminated micro-reservoir within shale, which prevents the newly generated lighter oil from being charged into the lithofacies reservoir. The variation trends of thermal maturity indices Ts/hopane, the relative pregnane content, and TA(I)/TA(I + II) ratios, which have the same chemical basis with EC21_/EC22+, carry the same maturity signature as EC21_/EC22+. The above profile of the molecular composition and molecular-derived thermal maturity parameters indicate that within the short interval of a shale system where no differences in thermal maturity are expected, chain scission reactions and their derived thermal maturity indicators are very sensitive to source rock and reservoir. In addition, within a shale system, oil is more easily to expel out from the organic-rich lithofacies that are interbedded with organic-lean lithofacies. Oil expulsion may promote both chain cracking of oil and subsequently kerogen decomposition. This may provide geological evidence to explain why the frequent-stacking assemblage of source rock and reservoir lithofacies in a hybrid shale system is an ideal target for shale oil exploration. |
