abstract

for this study, asmari (oligo-miocene) and bangestan (cretaceous) reservoir oils from themarun oilfield were studied geochemically. gas chromatograms and stable isotopes of carbon and sulfur indifferent oil fractions were studied. normal alkanes nc15+ are as high as 93% with a saturate percentage up to53.9% which reveal a high maturity of asmari and bangestan reservoir paraffinic oils. carbon preferenceindex of both reservoir oils are around one, indicating mature oil samples. pr/nc17 and ph/nc18 ratios haveconfirmed this conclusion. the pr/ph ratio is less than one and the plot of δ13caro.(‰) versus δ13csat.(‰) bothindicate a marine reducing environment during the deposition of their source rocks. the organic matterdeposited in these sediments is of kerogen type ii (algal). stable carbon isotope results versus pr/ph ratioindicate that both oils originate from the same shaley limestone of the mesozoic age. this study also provesthat h2s gas polluted asmari oils have a similar isotopic range as bangestan reservoir oil, hence the source ofcontamination must have originated from the bangestan reservoir. isotopic and geochemical results, for thefirst time, introduce three oil families; two h2s polluted families and one non-h2s polluted oil family; in theentire marun oilfield.

Systematic fractures analysis using image logs and complementary methods in the Marun Oilfield, SW Iran

Fractures are considered as one of the important structures in fractured reservoirs due to their effect on fluid currents and reservoirparameters such as porosity and permeability. Fracture parameters can only be directly calculated with core and image logs. Cores haveserious limitations, so image logs are the best method. The aim of this study is the systematic fractures analysis of the Asmari...

reasons for the decreasing of api gravity in bangestan crude oil reservoirs in mansouri oil field, sw iran

physical and chemical properties of  crude oil, including viscosity and api gravity, are commonly inherited  from the  early organic matter, environmental conditions in which they were deposited and depth of burial of the source beds. api gravity increases in deeper burial due to higher thermal maturation of organic matter in the source rocks and consequently, generation of lighter saturated hy...

simulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water

abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...
