Controls of oil family distribution and composition in nonmarine petroleum systems: A case study from the Turpan-Hami basin, northwestern China

Mesozoic-Cenozoic Deformation of the Central Structure Belt in the Turpan-Hami Basin, Northwest China: Tectonic Evolution of an Intracontinental Basin, Central Asia

“…During this later period of exploration, much new information was obtained and more detailed research undertaken (Wu and Zhao, 1997). Although the Turpan-Hami Basin has been intensively studied since the 1980s, previous work has mainly focused on source rocks and hydrocarbon accumulation (Graham et al, 1990;Huang et al, 1991;Wang et al, 1993;Yuan et al, 1993;Cheng, 1994;Hendrix et al, 1995;Wang et al, 1997;Zhao et al, 1998;Sun et al, 2000;Chen et al, 2001;Shao et al, 2003;Greene et al, 2004), sedimentary record and sandstone compositions (Hendrix et al, 1992;Graham et al, 1993;Carroll et al, 1995;Shao et al, 1998Shao et al, , 1999Hendrix, 2000), depositional style and subsidence history (Liu and Di, 1997;Shao et al, 2001aShao et al, , 2001b, and its geothermal history (Liu L. Y. et al, 1998(Liu L. Y. et al, , 2001Zhu et al, 2005).…”

Accumulation condition analysis of the Permian shale gas in the Turpan‐Hami Basin, Northwest China

“…It is an oil gas‐bearing, coal‐bearing, and Uranium‐bearing multi‐energy sedimentary basin in the central orogenic belt‐Tianshan orogenic belt. The oil and gas exploration and research work in this basin began in the 1950s and has achieved remarkable achievement (Carrol & Wartes, ; Chen, Deng, Wang, & Sun, ; K. M.

The origin and distribution of crude oil in Zhu III sub-basin, Pearl River Mouth Basin, China

“…The Zhu III sub-basin is a multiple oil-gas accumulation block with two adjacent M A N U S C R I P T A C C E P T E D ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT generative kitchens (Wenchang A and B depressions) and two sets of hydrocarbon source rock intervals [Eocene Wenchang Formation (E 2 w) and Oligocene Enping Formation (E 3 e)] deposited successively and matured one by one, but the aspect of which is the main source rock is controversial (Lin and Sun, 1999;Fu et al, 2011;Xie et al, 2012;) and the origin of the discovered oil is not clear (Zhu et al, 1997a;Yu et al, 1999;Xu and Huang, 2000;Kang and Feng, 2011;Fu et al, 2011;). In this context, ascertaining potential source rocks characteristics (Justwan et al, 2006;Keym et al, 2006), classifying discovered petroleum into source-related groups (Peters et al, 1994;Snowdon et al, 1998;Yurewicz et al, 1998;Abrams, et al, 1999;Greene et al, 2004;Pasadakis et al, 2004;Justwan et al, 2006) and reasonably predicting petroleum migration pathways (Hindle, 1997;Hao et al, 2007) have been very useful for optimizing petroleum exploration (Hao et al, 2009b). This article is aimed at investigating the potential source rock and different characters of source rock intervals, classifying the origin of discovered crude oil, analyzing the distribution of oil originated from different source rocks in Zhu III sub-basin by using geological and geochemical data.…”
