AbstractThe Juhugeng Sag, located in northwest of the Muli Basin, Tibetan Plateau, has been investigated for coal and petroleum resources during the past several decades. There have been successful recoveries of gas hydrates during recent years from the Middle Jurassic Yaojie Formation that offer insight into the origin of the hydrocarbon gases from the complex sag feature. This study examines the organic geochemical and stable carbon isotopic characteristics of shale and coal samples from the Middle Jurassic Yaojie Formation of the Juhugeng Sag, as well as compares with carbon isotopes, gas amounts and components of hydrate-bound gas. A total of 19 samples from surface mining, including 12 samples of black shale and 7 samples of coal, were analysed using a micro-photometer, a gas chromatograph, Rock–Eval and isotope methods. All the shale samples contained 100% type I kerogen, and the random vitrinite reflectance values vary from 0.65% to 1.32% and achieve thermal pyrolysis phase. Isotope values of methane (δ13C ranging from − 52.6‰ to − 39.5‰ and δD ranging from − 285‰ to − 227‰) in the hydrate bound gases suggest that the methane originates mainly from thermogenic contributions. It is proposed that ethane from the gas hydrate is thermogenic-produced, and this conjecture is supported by the fact that most of the gas hydrate also contains more than 30% of thermogenic C2+ hydrocarbons and is similar to structure II hydrate. Carbon isotope data from the gas hydrates show a positive carbon isotope series (δ13C1 < δ13C2 < δ13C3), with ethane δ13C values being lighter than − 28.5‰, as high consistency with source rocks from the Jurassic period indicate thermal oil-prone gas. A model of the accumulation of gas hydrate is plotted. However, the gaseous sources of gas hydrates may be a subject for more research.

This search aims to apply developed geochemical methods to a number of oils and source rock extracts to better establish the features of ancient environments that occurred in the Murzuq basin. Geochemical and geophysical approaches were used to confirm further a source contribution from other Paleozoic formations to hydrocarbon accumulations in the basin. One hundred and forty rock units were collected from B1-NC151, D1-NC174, A1-NC 76, D1-NC 151, F1-NC58, A1-NC 186, P1-NC 101, D1-NC 58, H1-NC58 and A1-NC58 wells. Seven crude oils were collocated A1-NC186, B1-NC186, E2-NC101, F3-NC174, A10-NC115, B10-NC115 and H10-NC115 wells. A geochemical assessment of the studied rocks and oils was done by means of geochemical parameters of total organic carbon (TOC), Rock-Eval analysis, detailed-various biomarkers and stable carbon isotope. The TOC values from B1-NC151 range 0.40% to 8.5%, A1-NC186 0.3% and 1.45, A1-NC76 0.39% to 0.74%, D1-NC151 0.40% to 2.00% to F1-NC58 0.40% to 1.12%. D1_NC174 0.30% to 10 %, P1-NC101 0.80% to 1.35%, D1-NC58 0.5% to 1.10%, H1-NC58 0.20% to 3.50%, A1-NC58 0.40% to 1.60%. The categories of organic matter from rock-eval pyrolysis statistics point to that type II kerogen is the main type, in association with type III, and no of type I kerogen recognized. Vitrinite reflectance (%Ro), Tmax and Spore colour index (SCI) as thermal maturity parameters reflect that the measured rock units are have different maturation levels, ranging from immature to mature sources. acritarchs distribution for most samples could be recognized and Palynomorphs are uncommon. Pristane to phytane ratios (> 1) revealed marine shale to lacustrine of environmental deposition. The Stable carbon isotope ( δ 13 C) values of seven rock-extract samples are -30.98‰ and -29.14‰ of saturates and -29.86‰ to -28.37‰ aromatic fractions. The oil saturate hydrocarbon fractions range between -29.36‰ to -28.67‰ and aromatic are among -29.98 ‰ to -29.55 ‰. The δ 13 C data in both rock extractions and crude oils are closer to each other, typical in sign of Paleozoic age. It is clear that the base of Tanezzuft Formation (Hot shale) is considered the main source rocks. The Devonian Awaynat Wanin Formation as well locally holds sufficient oil prone kerogen to consider as potential source rocks. Ordovician Mamuniyat Formation shales may poorly contain oil prone kerogen to be addressed in future studies. An assessment of the correlations between the oils and potential source rocks and between the oils themselves indicated that most of the rocks extracts were broadly similar to most of the oils and supported by carbon stable isotope analysis results.

The quality, thermal maturity and distribution of potential source rocks within the Palaeozoic–Mesozoic succession of the Danish part of the Norwegian-Danish Basin have been evaluated on the basis of screening data from over 4000 samples from the pre-Upper Cretaceous succession in 33 wells. The Lower Palaeozoic in the basin is overmature and the Upper Cretaceous – Cenozoic strata have no petroleum generation potential, but the Toarcian marine shales of the Lower Jurassic Fjerritslev Formation (F-III, F-IV members) and the uppermost Jurassic – lowermost Cretaceous shales of the Frederikshavn Formation may qualify as potential source rocks in parts of the basin. Neither of these potential source rocks has a basinwide distribution; the present occurrence of the Lower Jurassic shales was primarily determined by regional early Middle Jurassic uplift and erosion. The generation potential of these source rocks is highly variable. The F-III and F-IV members show significant lateral changes in generation capacity, the best-developed source rocks occurring in the basin centre. The combined F-III and F-IV members in the Haldager-1, Kvols-1 and Rønde-1 wells contain 'net source-rock' thicknesses (cumulative thickness of intervals with Hydrogen Index (HI)> 200 mg HC/g TOC) of 40 m, 83 m, and 92 m, respectively, displaying average HI values of 294, 369 and 404 mg HC/g TOC. The Mors-1 well contains 123 m of 'net source rock' with an average HI of 221 mg HC/g TOC. Parts of the Frederikshavn Formation possess a petroleum generation potential in the Hyllebjerg-1, Skagen-2, Voldum-1 and Terne-1 wells, the latter well containing a c. 160 m thick highly oil-prone interval with an average HI of 478 mg HC/g TOC and maximum HI values> 500 mg HC/g TOC.The source-rock evaluation suggests that a Mesozoic petroleum system is the most likely in the study area. Two primary plays are possible: (1) the Upper Triassic – lowermost Jurassic Gassum play, and (2) the Middle Jurassic Haldager Sand play. Potential trap structures are widely distributed in the basin, most commonly associated with the flanks of salt diapirs. The plays rely on charge from the Lower Jurassic (Toarcian) or uppermost Jurassic – lowermost Cretaceous shales. Both plays have been tested with negative results, however, and failure is typically attributed to insufficient maturation (burial depth) of the source rocks. This maturation question has been investigated by analysis of vitrinite reflectance data from the study area, corrected for post-Early Cretaceous uplift. A likely depth to the top of the oil window (vitrinite reflectance = 0.6%Ro) is c. 3050–3100 m based on regional coalification curves. The Frederikshavn Formation had not been buried to this depth prior to post-Early Cretaceous exhumation, and the potential source rocks of the formation are thermally immature in terms of hydrocarbon generation. The potential source rocks of the Fjerritslev Formation are generally immature to very early mature. Mature source rocks in the Danish part of the Norwegian–Danish Basin are thus dependent on local, deeper burial to reach the required thermal maturity for oil generation. Such potential kitchen areas with mature Fjerritslev Formation source rocks may occur in the central part of the study area (central–northern Jylland), and a few places offshore. These inferred petroleum kitchens are areally restricted, mainly associated with salt structures and local grabens (such as the Fjerritslev Trough and the Himmerland Graben).

The Danish part of the Central Graben (DCG) is one of the petroliferous basins in the offshore region of north-western Europe. The source rock quality and maturity is here reviewed, based on 5556 Rock-Eval analyses and total organic carbon (TOC) measurements from 78 wells and 1175 vitrinite reflectance (VR) measurement from 55 wells, which makes this study the most comprehensive to date. The thermal maturity is evaluated through 1-D basin modelling of 46 wells. Statistical parameters describ-ing the distribution of TOC, hydrocarbon index (HI) and Tmax are presented for the Lower Jurassic marine Fjerritslev Formation, the Middle Jurassic terrestrial-paralic Bryne, Lulu, and Middle Graben Formations and the Upper Jurassic to lowermost Cretaceous marine Lola and Farsund Formations in six areas in the DCG. For the Farsund Formation the source-rock richness is presented for selected stratigraphic sequences. The upper part of the Farsund Formation is immature in the southern part of the Salt Dome Province, and late oil mature in and near the Tail End Graben and in the Søgne Basin. The lower part of the Farsund Formation is immature in local areas, yet post-mature in the Tail End Graben and in the Salt Dome Province. The Lower and Middle Jurassic shales are gas-prone in most of the DCG. The depth of the oil window, as defined by a VR of 0.6% Ro, ranges between 2200 and 4500 m. The variations are ascribed to heat flow differences in the DCG and can be modelled by a simple depth model, which includes the thickness of the Cretaceous to Palaeo-gene Chalk and Cromer Knoll Groups. According to the model, a thick Chalk Group offsets the oil window to deeper levels, which likely can be attributed to the thermal properties of the highly thermally conductive chalk compared to the underlying less thermally conductive clays. The DCG is an overpressured basin, and high-pressure, high-temperature conditions are expected to occur deeper than 3.8 km except for the Feda and Gertrud Grabens where such conditions, due to generally lower tem-peratures, are expected to occur deeper than around 4.7 km.

For countries with limited access to conventional hydrocarbon gases, methane hydrates have emerged as a potential energy source. In view of the European Union’s requirements to reduce the energy intensity of technological processes and increase energy security, it appears promising to accumulate natural gas and biomethane in the form of hydrate structures and release them if necessary. Storing gas in this form in an energy-efficient manner creates interest in developing and innovating technologies in this area. Hydrates that form in gas pipelines are generated by a more or less random process and are an undesirable phenomenon in gas transportation. In our case, the process implemented in the proposed experimental device is a controlled process, which can generate hydrates in orders of magnitude shorter times compared to the classical methods of generating natural gas hydrates in autoclaves by saturating water only. The recirculation of gas-saturated water has been shown to be the most significant factor in reducing the energy consumption of natural gas hydrate generation. Not only is the energy intensity of generation reduced, but also its generation time. In this paper, a circuit diagram for an experimental device for natural gas hydrate generation is shown with complete description, principle of operation, and measurement methodology. The natural gas hydrate formation process is analyzed using a mathematical model that correlates well with the measured hydrate formation times. Hydrates may become a current challenge in the future and, once verified, may find applications in various fields of technology or industry.

The K1s, K1d, K1t, and K1a Formations are potential source rock intervals for hydrocarbon formation, all of which are part of the Lower Cretaceous system in the Baibei Depression in the Erlian Basin in China. However, no well has found oil flow because the hydrocarbon-generating potential of the source rocks has not been comprehensively evaluated. Based on organic geochemical and petrological analyses, all the source rocks possess highly variable total organic carbon and S1 + S2 contents. Total organic carbon and S1 + S2 contents indicate that the K1a2 Formation through the K1d1 Formation are source rocks that have fair to good generative potential and the K1d2 Formation through the K1s Formation are source rocks that have good to very good generative potential. The organic matter in the K1a2 Formation is dominated by Type I and II kerogen; thus, it is considered to be oil prone based on H/C versus O/C plots. Most of the analyzed samples were deposited in reducing environments and sourced from marine algae; thus, they are oil prone. However, only two source rock intervals were thermally mature with vitrinite reflectance values in the required range. Hydrocarbon-generating histories show that the K1t and K1a2 intervals began to generate hydrocarbons during the depositional period of the K1d2 and K1d3 Formations, respectively, and stopped generating hydrocarbons at the end of the depositional period of the late Cretaceous. Therefore, the main stage of hydrocarbon migration and accumulation was between the depositional period of the K1d2 and K1s Formations, and the critical moment was the depositional period of the late K1s Formation. The generation conversion efficiency reached approximately 55% in the K1a2 Formation and 18% in the K1t Formation at the end of the Cretaceous sedimentary stage. In general, the effective oil traps are those reservoirs that are near the active source rock in the generating sags in the Baibei Depression.

Abstract. Modeling of the onset of permafrost formation and succeeding gas hydrate formation in the changing surface temperature environment has been done for the Beaufort-Mackenzie Basin (BMB). Numerical 1-D modeling is constrained by deep heat flow from deep well bottom hole temperatures, deep conductivity, present permafrost thickness and thickness of Type I gas hydrates. Latent heat effects were applied to the model for the entire ice bearing permafrost and Type I hydrate intervals. Modeling for a set of surface temperature forcing during the glacial-interglacial history including the last 14 Myr was performed. Two scenarios of gas formation were considered; case 1: formation of gas hydrate from gas entrapped under deep geological seals and case 2: formation of gas hydrate from gas in a free pore space simultaneously with permafrost formation. In case 1, gas hydrates could have formed at a depth of about 0.9 km only some 1 Myr ago. In case 2, the first gas hydrate formed in the depth range of 290–300 m shortly after 6 Myr ago when the GST dropped from −4.5 °C to −5.5. °C. The gas hydrate layer started to expand both downward and upward subsequently. These models show that the gas hydrate zone, while thinning persists under the thick body of BMB permafrost through the current interglacial warming periods.

Метан является одним из важных представителей органических веществ в воздушной оболочке Земли. Помимо усиления парникового эффекта увеличение содержания метана в атмосфере может влиять на сокращение концентрации озона в ней, а роль озонового слоя в жизни планеты важна. Одним из важнейших звеньев цикла метана и сопутствующих его потокам других газов являются газовые гидраты. Отношения стабильных изотопов углерода (δ13C) метана и его гомологов – объективные характеристики гидратообразующих газов и связанных с ними газогеохимических полей. Важнейшее значение в оценке изотопных эффектов природных соединений имеет масс-балансное соотношение генетически разнородных соединений. Вопрос масс-балансного эффекта в формировании газогеохимических полей и газогидратов рассмотрен в рамках данной работы. В статье показано, что газогидратоносность Охотского и Японского морей следует рассматривать как проявление газогеохимического зонирования миграции углеводородных газов от их термогенных источников, предопределенных наличием нефтегазоматеринского вещества, тектоническим фактором и сейсмической активностью в регионе. В отдельных случаях вулканическая активность также способна влиять на газовый состав газогидратоносных осадков и газогидратов. Газогидратоносность окраинных морей в целом обусловлена потоками миграционных и микробных газов, которые концентрируются в зонах пересечений разломов на бортах тектонических прогибов. Признаки термогенных флюидов и многоярусное залегание газогидратов указывают на их возобновляемость и возможность использования как важных индикаторов цикла метана и углерода. Основными источниками миграционных углеводородных газов являются нефтегазоносные и угленосные толщи, в зонах проницаемости существует вклад глубинных компонентов. Methane is one of the important representatives of the organic substances in the atmosphere. In addition to enhancing the greenhouse effect, an increase in methane content in the atmosphere can affect the decrease in the ozone concentration in it, and the role of the ozone layer in the life of the planet is important. Gas hydrates are among the most important links in the methane cycle and the accompanying flows of other gases. The ratios of stable carbon isotopes (δ13C) of methane and its homologues are the objective characteristics of hydrate-forming gases and associated gasgeochemical fields. The mass balance ratio of genetically dissimilar compounds is an importance in assessing the isotope effects of natural compounds. The issue of the mass balance effect in the formation of gasgeochemical fields and gas hydrates is considered within the framework of this paper. It is shown that gas hydrate content in the Seas of Okhotsk and Japan should be considered as a manifestation of gas-geochemical zoning of hydrocarbon gases migration from their thermogenic sources based on a source substance, the tectonic factor and seismic activity in the region. In some cases, volcanic activity can also affect the gas composition of gas-hydrate-bearing sediments and gas hydrates. The gas-hydrate content of marginal seas is generally determined by the flows of migration and microbial gases, which are concentrated in the zones of intersections of faults on the sides of tectonic deflections. Signs of thermogenic fluids and multi-level occurrence of gas hydrates indicate that they are renewable and can be used as important indicators of the methane and carbon cycle. The main sources of migration of hydrocarbon gases are oil and gas-bearing and coal-bearing strata, and in the zones of permeability there is a contribution of deep components.

Abstract The carbonate rocks were collected from the Qum Formation in outcrop of the northern Garmsar Area, Iran. In order to evaluating the hydrocarbon generation prospects of these source rocks, we analyzed their geochemical characteristics, including the abundance, type, and maturity of organic matter, and investigated their formation conditions by analyzing the characteristics of soluble organic matter and sedimentary environment. The results show that the organic matter abundance of the source rocks in the Qum Formation in the Garmsar Area is low in the north and west. The organic matter type is mainly II1-II2, locally showing type I and III, and in general, it is conducive to hydrocarbon generation. The maturity of organic matter is low, showing the Tmax between 416°C and 439°C, vitrinite reflectance (Ro) from 0.49% to 0.83%, which indicate it is at the stage of low to moderate maturity. The soluble organic matter characteristics indicated that the organic matter evolution of the source rocks in the Qum Formation is low. Through comparison between the study area and other areas, and different places within the working area, the abundance, type, and maturity of organic matter of the source rocks in the Qum Formation are different, caused by the basin facie zones, sedimentary environment, and history of sedimentation of the source rocks. Overall, the source rock in the Qum Formation in Garmsar Area has good prospects of hydrocarbon generation. This study has important significance for further exploration in the Garmsar Area.

Geochemical analysis is necessary to enable the optimization of hydrocarbon exploration. In this research, it is used to determine the oil characteristics and the type of source rock candidates that produces hydrocarbon in the “KITKAT” Field and also to understand the quality, quantity and maturity of proven source rocks. The evaluation of source rock was obtained from Rock-Eval Pyrolysis (REP) to determine the hydrocarbon type and analysis of the value of Total Organic Carbon (TOC) was performed to know the quantity of its organic content. Analysis of Tmax value and Vitrinite Reflectance (Ro) was also performed to know the maturity level of the source rock samples. Then the oil characteristics such as the depositional environment of source rock candidate and where the oil sample develops were obtained from pattern matching and fingerprinting analysis of Biomarker data GC/GCMS. Moreover, these data are used to know the correlation of oil to source rock. The result of source rock evaluation shows that the Talangakar Formation (TAF) has all these parameters as a source rock. Organic material from Upper Talangakar Formation (UTAF) comes from kerogen type II/III that is capable of producing oil and gas (Espitalie, 1985) and Lower Talangakar Formation (LTAF) comes from kerogen type III that is capable of producing gas. All intervals of TAF have a quantity value from very good–excellent considerable from the amount of TOC > 1% (Peters and Cassa, 1994). Source rock maturity level (Ro > 0.6) in UTAF is mature–late mature and LTAF is late mature–over mature (Peters and Cassa, 1994). Source rock from UTAF has deposited in the transition environment, and source rock from LTAF has deposited in the terrestrial environment. The correlation of oil to source rock shows that oil sample is positively correlated with the UTAF.
