摘要: 对3个地区不同烃源岩埋藏史、生油史、排油史模拟表明,具有不同埋藏史-生油史的烃源岩,其石油初次运移的特征不同.将烃源岩埋藏史-生油史与初次运移的关系归纳为5种典型类型:①深埋藏-高成熟-有利排油型,烃源岩经历持续的埋藏作用,烃源岩成熟后经历相对短的时间就可达到排油饱和度门限,在持续深埋藏及相应快速的生烃作用下,烃源岩可形成异常高压力,有利于石油初次运移发生;②深埋后抬升-高成熟-有利排油型,烃源岩在抬升之前就达到高成熟,石油初次运移主要发生在抬升作用之前,石油初次运移特征与①型相似;③持续中埋藏-中等成熟-抑制排油型,烃源岩在早期达到中埋藏深度后,烃源岩进入成熟门限,此后未经受进一步的埋藏或埋藏作用甚小,地温没有增加,生烃作用缓慢,不仅烃源岩成熟后需要相对长的时间达到排油饱和度门限,而且,较浅的埋深与缓慢的生烃作用不利于形成异常高压力,即使达到了排油饱和度门限,但由于动力的缺乏初次运移也难以发生;④中埋后抬升-低成熟-不利排油型,烃源岩早期达到中浅埋深,并达到低成熟,此后烃源岩遭受抬升,生油作用减缓甚至停止,而达不到排油饱和度门限,石油初次运移不能发生;⑤中、浅埋藏-低熟(油)-早生早排型,此类烃源岩在较浅的埋深可以达到排油饱和度门限,并且在同生断层产生的构造裂缝作用下有助于低熟油和初次运移.这5种类型烃源岩的划分,在石油勘探中对油源区的评价具有重要意义.

Abstract: Based on three case studies of soure rock's burial,oil generation and expulsion models,it is suggested that burial oil genera ting history is the key to oil primary migration.The initiation and degree of oil expulsion from a source rock(SR) greatly depends upon its burial oil generating history.Five types of burial oil generation expulsion of SRs are classified with their characteristics of oil primary migration from varions burial oil generating histories.The first is deep burial high maturity favoring oil expulsion.This type of the SR undergoes a continued burial to a great depth over 3000m,resulting in speedily organic matter cracking to a high level of maturity(Ro≥1.0%).Therefore,overpressure within the SRs is probably developed,in favour of fracturing and then initiating oil expelling.The second is deep burial uplift high maturity favoring oil expulsion.This type of SRs is buried to a depth over 3500m,resulting in high maturity(Ro>1.0%) before they are tectonically up lifted to a shallower depth.Oil expelling from these SRs mainly occurs prior to the event of the elevation.The third is medium burial medium maturity retarding oil expulsion.This group of the SRs is early buried down to a level of approximately 2500m or less,and from then on,the SRs experience a tectonically stable period,being prevented from successively subsidence or greatly uplift.Nearly by the end of early burial process,the organic matter reaches oil generating stage and hold the organic matter cracking in a slowly rate due to being exposed to relatively low temperature.Although these SRs can reach oil saturation threshold of oil expulsion(OSTOE),oil primary migration hardly ever happens due to absence of overpressure due mainly to stopping of sedimentation,slowly organic matter cracking and medium depth.The fourth is medium burial uplift low maturity obstacling oil expulsion.As the SRs are buried down to a medium depth(<2500m) at which kerogen begins to decompose into oil,there follows tecotonically uplift,causing sharp decrease in temperature,SRs are exposed to.Therefore,the reactions of kerogen cracking into oil slow down,even stop when the temperature decreases in 15℃ more than maximum temperature,SRs have been exposed to before,resulting in low maturity and without reaching OSTOE.Primary oil migration of this type of SRs could never occur because of low maturity(Ro<0.8%) and never reaching OSTOE(<10%) for oil movement.The last type is shallow,medium burial low maturity favoring immature oil expulsion.The principal zone of immature oil formation occurs during the burial of shallow,medium depth(<2500m;corresponding to Ro:0.35-0.7%).And So,these low maturity SRs capable of formation of immature oil can reach OSTOE in the early stage of burial,compared to those SRs generation mature oil only.Moreover,it is very often in the early burial stage that expulsion of immature oil can be enhanced by SR disrupting due to growth faults,especially in fault basins,for instance,those basins of eastern China with widespread occurrence in immature oil.These five types of burial oil generation expulsion of SRs,which we have classified will have significance in early appraisal of "oil kitchen".
