Maturity Parameters

Source rocks in the Baise Basin have been studied more than 20 yr. However, its maturity is still a problem under debate. In this project, 32 samples of source rocks from the Baise Basin were analysed by geochemical methods in order to study the maturity of the source rocks. For this article the samples were analysed for 16 different maturity parameters. Based on their quality as maturity indicators these parameters were divided into three groups: reliable, accessorial, and unsuitable maturity parameters. According to the values from the reliable and accessorial maturity groups, a source rock in two wells was classified with respect to its maturity level. The source rock in the Nadu 1 well is assessed to be in the lower mature stage, whereas the source rock in the Nadu 2 well was assessed to be in the mature stage.

Maturity Parameters

This paper presents the results of an organic geochemical biomarker study of the oil and the coals at different depths in the Maui-4 oil exploration well. The n-alkane distribution suggests that the oil is progressively generated in the coals with increasing depth from about 6800', but significant generation does not lake place until about 10600'. Although at 12770' the lighter oil fraction is released, the majority of the oil is largely retained in the coal matrix. It is only in the deepest 12780' coal that the maturity parameters derived from the sterane and hopane biomarkers approach those in the produced oil. It is therefore likely that the probable source rock for the Maui-4 oil is even deeper. Extrapolation of these biomarker parameters suggests the oil is sourced by the Pakawau coals or possibly the associated shales between 13000–13500'.
