The molecular composition and biomarker distribution of various occurrences of organic matter in argillaceous source rocks developed in fresh and saline lacustrine environments were revealed by successive treatments of solvent extraction followed by acid hydrolysis using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.The free fraction obtained by solvent extraction provided abundant geochemical information concerning the sedimentary environment,thermal maturity and biogenic origin,and obvious differences existed between fresh and saline lacustrine source rock samples.Our research results indicate that the carbonate-mineral-bound (CM-bound) fraction released by successive acid hydrolysis could also serve as a significant biogenic indicator,as the bicyclic sesquiterpenoids,indicative of Botryococcus braunii origin,were specifically detected in quite high abundance in the acid-soluble fraction.In addition,the light end hydrocarbons were much better preserved in the acid-soluble fraction,and elemental sulfur was only detected in the CM-bound fraction,suggesting a relatively confined environment for the CM-bound fraction,which thus could preserve additional geochemical information compared to that of the free fraction.The CM-bound fraction also exhibited discernable differences between fresh and saline lacustrine samples.Therefore,it can be concluded that comprehensive analysis of free and CM-bound fractions in the argillaceous source rocks can provide a more authentic and objective interpretation of geologic conditions.

Thermal maturity is commonly assessed by various geochemical screening methods (e.g.,pyrolysis and organic petrology).In this contribution,we attempt to establish an alternative approach to estimating thermal maturity with Raman spectroscopy,using 24 Nort
The oils in the Rewapu Block of the Halahatang Oilfield in the Tarim Basin (northwestern China) were geochemically analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry to investigate their origin and possible secondary alteration.The physical properties and c
Coal and oil shale are two common sedimentary energy sources which are often symbiotically developed in MesozoicCenozoic continental fault basins.However,the mechanisms and characteristics of the symbiotic development are not yet clearly known.In this res
Muddy baffles are one of the major geological factors controlling the underground fluid flow as well as the remaining oil distribution.This study used detailed drilling data from the E1f1 reservoir in the X Oilfield,Subei Basin,China,to investigate the hi
The Upper Devonian Buchan Formation reservoirs in the UK Central North Sea are litharenite/sublitharenite and were deposited in fluvial-aeolian settings.The grain-coating clays in the aeolian sandstones have effectively inhibited quartz overgrowth.Hence,t
A new classification of petroleum systems (PSs) based on reservoir qualities is proposed.We classify PSs into the following three basic types:(1) source-rock petroleum system (SPS);(2) tight-reservoir or tight petroleum system (TPS);and (3) conventional-r
It is important to predict the fracture distributionin the tight reservoirs of the Ordos Basin because fracturing is very crucial for the reconstruction of the low-permeability reservoirs.Three-dimensional finite element models are used to predict the fra
The Triassic fluvial sandstones of the Skagerrak Formation were deposited in a series of salt-walled mini-basins and act as important hydrocarbon reservoirs for several high-pressure,high-temperature (HPHT) fields in the Central Graben,North Sea.The HPHT
