Genesis and origin of natural gas in the Beidagang structural belt of Dagang oilfield

Abstract

The south and north of Beidagang structure zone in Dagang oil field are Qikou sag and Banqiao sag respectively, it´s belong typical “two sag one uplift”, has abundant oil and gas source, developing reservoir condition is good. From now it has find various types of gas reservoirs in several heavy reservoirs and series of strata, so it has complex oil genesis and gas. This article collected a large number of natural gas samples systematically, launching a study on the composition and carbon isotope of natural gas, identifying the overall characteristics and causes of natural gas in Beidagang structure zone.Research shows in Beidagang structure zone, different heavy reservoirs and series of strata about composition and carbon isotope of natural gas are basically the same, methane contant is low, dry coefficient is small, spreading 0.8-0.89, belong typical wet gas. The distribution of methane and ethane carbon isotope are wide, insisting humic-type natural gas, sapropelic natural gas and biogas.Biogas are mainly distributed in Gangxi area, Banzhong, Bannan, Banbei, Tangjiahe, Baishuitou, Gangdong and Qianmiqiao area’s natural gas mainly is mainly the product of hydrocarbon source rock saprophytic organic matter mature stage in san-segment of Banqiao depression, Maxi ang Madong natural gas is the product of hydrocarbon source rock humus type organic matter mature stage of shahejie formation from Qikou depression. At present, the natural gas from the high over-maturity stage of the deep hydrocarbon source rocks in the depression is seldom distributed in the Beidagang structural belt, showing gas exploration in deep sag has a bright prospect.The high over mature stage natural gas in deep sag and Qikou depression Saproped-type hydrocarbon source rock crude oil cracking gas are important exploration target.
