Abstract

Abstract: Taking Gangxi Oilfield in Huanghua Depression as an example,the isotopic compositions of noble gas in crude oil and their tracing significance were investigated.The ³⁴⁴⁰Ar-to-³⁶Ar age accumulation effect that the Gangxi oil should be sourced from the Tertiary.Water injection resulted in the contamination of noble gas in the crude oil of Gangxi oilfield.The relations of ³He-to-⁴²⁰⁴⁰Ar-to-³⁶Ar ratio with ⁴²⁰Ne ratio can be used to distinguish the water-injected wells and non-injected wells and to predict the effects of water injection.The application of research method for noble gas in crude oil to petroleum geology provides a new way for inferring natural gas and oil source,tectonic backgrounds,geothermal flow value and the effect of water injection in oilfield.

Key words: crude oil, noble gas, tracing, isotopic characteristics, Gangxi Oilfield, Huanghua Depression

摘要： 以黄骅坳陷港西油田为例,测试并研究了原油中的稀有气体氦和氩同位素组成,并探讨了其示踪作用.研究表明:①港西油田6个未受空气污染原油样品具有幔源稀有气体介入的特征,其中氦气占介入稀有气体总量的139%～328%,平均为241%,说明港西油田具有幔源氦侵入的构造背景,且大地热流值较高,平均达750mWm^-2;②据原油⁴⁰Ar/³⁶Ar的年代积累效应,推测港西油田油源应为第三系烃源岩;③注水是港西油田原油稀有气体受空气污染的主要原因,对原油中的³He/⁴⁴²⁰⁴⁰Ar/³⁶Ar和⁴²⁰
