The composition of saturated and aromatic hydrocarbons and the structural-group characteristics of resins and asphaltenes in four oils of northern West Siberia have been studied. As follows from the distribution of hydrocarbons, the Cenomanian oils (pools in the beds PK and K2c) of the Russkoe, Barsukovskoe, and Pangodinskoe fields are naphthenic and the Pangodinskoe oil sample from the Lower Cretaceous pool (bed BN9) is methanoic. The hydrocarbon composition pattern of the saturated fraction and the characteristics of the heterocyclic components of these oils point to their formation from dispersed organic matter of mixed genesis in the oil window. Hence, the oil source rocks are localized at depths much greater than the present-day level of the oil pools. Secondary (cryptohypergene) alterations (oxidation and biodegradation) in the shallow-depth oils determined their current predominantly naphthenic composition and considerably hamper reconstruction of the types of initial dispersed organic matter. We assume that the mixed genetic type of the studied oils is not only due to their heterogeneous source but also due to the reorganization of primary oil pools at the Cenozoic stage of tectogenesis. The Cenomanian Russkoe and Pangodinskoe naphthenic oils are saturated with adamantoids, which can be selectively accumulated during biodegradation.
The joint cracking of mechanically activated oil shale and petroleum residue was studied. The introduction of oil shale allowed to intensify the process of destruction of high-molecular components of the petroleum residue. In the obtained liquid thermolysis products, oils predominate from 40,2 to 81,1% wt. With an increase in the share of oil shale in the cracking products, the proportion of asphaltenes decreases from 4,2 to 2,8% wt, and of tar from 6,7 to 4,8% wt. In gaseous products, the proportion of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide increases markedly. The introduction of mechanically activated oil shale also affects the fractional composition of thermolysis products; the proportion of gasoline (IPB – 200 °С) and diesel fractions (200–360 °С) changes
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
