Abstract

Abstract

The Permian Lucaogou Formation in the Jimusar Sag in the east of the Junggar Basin is a typical continental shale oil series in China. Employing the semi-closed thermal simulation system, an experimental study on hydrocarbon generation and expulsion of shale with different source-reservoir structures was carried out to explore the efficiency and composition characteristics of hydrocarbon generation and expulsion of shale in the Permian Lucaogou Formation with different source-reservoir structures so as to provide reference for the enrichment rule of shale hydrocarbon and the fine evaluation of "sweet spots". The experimental results show that thick reservoir interbedded with thin source rock is more conducive to hydrocarbon expulsion and features the highest hydrocarbon expulsion efficiency, while thin source rock interbedded with thin reservoir features slightly lower hydrocarbon expulsion efficiency, and thick source rock interbedded with thin reservoir features the lowest hydrocarbon expulsion efficiency. When reservoir lithology is clastic rock, the hydrocarbon expulsion efficiency of thick reservoir interbedded with thin source rock, thin source rock interbedded with thin reservoir, and thick source rock interbedded with thin reservoir are 35.6%, 30.7%, and 25.6%, respectively. When reservoir lithology is carbonate rock, the hydrocarbon expulsion efficiency of these three combinations are 27.4%, 27.5%, and 12.3%, respectively. Combined with composition of expelled hydrocarbon, received hydrocarbon in reservoir, and retained hydrocarbon in source rock, it is found that received hydrocarbon in reservoir rock is mainly supplied by neighboring sources, and the farther away from source-reservoir interface, the less relevant relationship between source rock and hydrocarbon in reservoir. Hydrocarbon in reservoir is supplied by lower adjacent source rock in thick reservoir interbedded with thin source rock, and the received hydrocarbon in upper clastic reservoir is 10.7 mg/g, while received hydrocarbon in lower clastic reservoir is only 1.4 mg/g. The thick source rock interbedded with thin reservoir is mainly self-generated and self-stored, and the content of retained hydrocarbon in source rock is high, the received hydrocarbon in upper clastic reservoir is 6.0 mg/g, while retained hydrocarbon in source rock is 21.1 mg/g. Hydrocarbon in reservoir is mainly supplied by lower adjacent source rock and partly from its own source rock in thin source rock interbedded with thin reservoir. There is no significant difference between source rock and reservoir rock in the extraction family, with the content of saturated hydrocarbon in the range of 22.8%-33.0%, aromatics in the range of 6.2%-15.1%, and non-hydrocarbon and asphaltene in the range of 28.5%-41.1% and 21.0%-30.0%. Moreover, different reservoir lithology has relatively weak influence on hydrocarbon generation and expulsion efficiency, and the hydrocarbon-bearing heterogeneity is weak in thin source rock interbedded with thin reservoir. From the perspective of hydrocarbon generation and expulsion efficiency of shale with different source-reservoir structures, thick reservoir interbedded with thin source rock and thin source rock interbedded with thin reservoir are the favorable combinations for hydrocarbon exploration in the shale of the Lucaogou Formation.
