The Evolution and Preliminary Genesis of the Carbon Isotope for Coal Measure Tight Gas: Cases from Upper Paleozoic Gas Pools of Ordos Basin and Xujiahe Formation Gas Pools of Sichuan Basin, China

چکیده
In classic theory, the natural gas generated by organic matter (OM) would become dry with the increase of source rock maturity [1]. Meanwhile, the carbon isotope of gas would become heavy during the evolution process of source rock [2-4]. However, some new characteristics of geochemistry appear in shale gas found in shale with over maturity, such as the isotopic rollover, partial reversal and full reversal [5-9]. The isotopic rollover refers to that the isotopic value of one heavy gaseous component (>C2) does not become heavy with the decreasing wetness or increasing maturity of source rock, but become light in a certain range of gas wetness. For example, the carbon isotope of ethane from shale gas found in North America increases with its decreasing wetness initially. Then it decreases with the further decreasing wetness of shale gas [7]. While, the isotopic reversal means that the isotope value do not increase with the increase of carbon number in gas, but become light (δC1 > δC2 > δC3).

Determination of Time of Oil Cracking into Gas in Weiyuan Paleo-Oil Pool in Sichuan Basin, South China
Weiyuan gas field, located in the Sichuan basin of south China, is a large marine gas field with the oldest reservoir (the Sinian sequences) in south China. The hydrocarbon origin of the gas field has long been debated by petroleum geologists. Recently, it was recognized that a paleo-oil pool maybe the significant contributor to the gas field. Consequently, when the paleo-oil pool had been crac...
متن کاملEffect of air column in transport canisters on measured gas contents of coal
Canister desorption is a widely used technique to measure the gas content of coal. The gas content data, when normalized to volume/weight and multiplied by coal seam mass, is used to estimate the gas in place in an area around the cored hole. However, the gas content and the percentage of each constituent are likely to be influenced by trapped air in the canister at the time of the coal enclosu...
متن کاملA Dynamic Simulation of Annular Multiphase Flow during Deep-water Horizontal Well Drilling and the Analysis of Influential Factors
A gas kick simulation model for deep-water horizontal well with diesel-based drilling fluid is presented in this paper. This model is mainly based on the mass, momentum, and energy conservation equations. The unique aspect of this model is the fluid-gas coupling and the change of mud properties after the gas influx from the formation. The simulation results show that the gas in an annulus disso...

The Upper Jurassic carbonates of the eastern part of the Kopet-Dagh Basin, with thickness of 470 m, are the major gas-bearing reservoir in NE Iran. The objectives of this study are recognition of diagenetic history and estimation of porosity related to dolomitization. Based on field and laboratory study, four carbonate facies associations have been identified at the Mazdavand outcrop. Most of t...
