| 1 | Application of butane geochemistry of natural gas in hydrocarbon exploration显示文摘In order to distinguish the source and migration direction of natural gas by geochemical characteristics of butane,the components and carbon isotopes of natural gas from major hydrocarbonbearing basins in China were analyzed.The results showed that:(1) Oil-type gas has i-C 4 /n-C 4 <0.8,δ 13 C butane <-28‰,δ 13 C i-butane <-27‰,δ 13 C n-butane <-28.5‰,whereas coal-type gas has i-C 4 /n-C 4 >0.8,δ 13 C butane >-25.5‰,δ 13 C i-butane >-24‰,δ 13 C n-butane >-26‰.(2) When δ 13 C i-butane-δ 13 C n-butane is greater than 0,the maturity of oil-type gas is generally more than 2.4% and that of coal-type gas is greater than 1.4%,whereas when the difference is less than 0,the maturity of oil-type gas is generally less than 1.1% and that of coal-type gas is less than 0.8%.(3) When natural gas migrates through dense cap rocks,the value of i-C 4 /n-C 4 increases,whereas when it migrates laterally along a reservoir,the value of i-C 4 /n-C 4 decreases.(4) Sapropelic transition zone gas with composition and carbon isotopic signatures similar to those of oil-type gas in the low thermal evolution stage is found to have a relatively high butane content.(5) The values of i-C 4 /n-C 4 and δ 13 C n-butane δ 13 C i-butane of gas which has suffered biological degradation are significantly higher than those obtained from thermogenic and bio-thermocatalytic transition zone gas.Thus,natural gas of different genetic types can be recognized through component analysis and carbon isotopic signatures of butane,the natural gas maturity can be estimated from the difference in carbon isotopic content between isobutane and n-butane,and the migration direction of natural gas can be determined from i-C 4 /n-C 4 ratios and transport conditions,which can also be used to thermogenic and bio-thermocatalytic transition zone gas. | Miao Zhongying Chen Jianfa Wang Jing Wang Guannan ZhangChen Li Wei | 2012 | Petroleum Science2012，9，4： | 3 |
