Abstract:

The Dongying Formation in Wenliu structure of Dongpu sag,Bohai Bay Basin,consists mainly of light brown sand-shale of alluvial fan depositional system.Saturated hydrocarbon chromatograms and Terpanes & Ste-ranes mass chromatagrams reveal that the oil-bearing sandstone in the Dongying formation features in high gammacerane,low pristane/phytane ratio,and relatively low ratio of C29aaa20S/(20S+20R) steranes and other mature indexes.Oil-source correlation indicates that oil from the Formation has a relatively close parentage relationship with the Es3 source rock.A comprehensive analysis of the homogenization temperature of organic inclusions,burial history and palaeogeothermal reconstruction,and geochemical characteristics of oil-bearing sands suggests that continuous oil charging lasted about 5.6Ma.During the middle and late periods of tectonic uplifting,about 1000 meters of the upper part of the Dongying Formation was denuded,causing the crude in the Formation biodegraded to different degrees,but leaving the normal alkanes distribution of inclusions basically intact.Since the Neogene,the burial depth of Dongying Formation has been increasing continuously,and the reservoirs has stepped into the stage of adjustment and preservation.

Key words: hydrocarbon inclusion, oil-source correlation, oil and gas charging, Dongying Formation, Wenliu Structure, Dongpu Sag, Bohai Bay Basin
