Abstract
The normal alkanes of crude oils of the Ordovician in Hanilcatam sag in Tarim basin are complete in distribution,with varied rising of the chromatographic baselines,widespread 25-Hopane,partial heavier and gently carbon isotopes of nC15-nC26,and gradually lighter carbon isotopes of nC27-nC30.These features indicate that the reservoirs in this area underwent at least 2-period reservoir-forming processes,the oil source of present reservoirs are dominated by late charging oil.The oil inclusions infrared spectrum analysis shows that the early charging oil is low mature oil,with m(CH2)/m(CH3) value of 4.5~7.3,straight chain carbon atom number Xstd of 18~25;the late charging oil belongs to normal mature oil,with m(CH2)/m(CH3) value of 1.9~2.8,Xstd of about 7~11.Therefore,it is concluded that the oil in Hanilcatam sag nowadays is mixed crude oil charged by normal mature oil after experiencing biodegradation of early low mature oil.
