Abstract:

An analysis of current models for calculating volume of hydrocarbon generation points out problems that may exist in quantitative study of hydrocarbon generation and reservoiring through calculating volume of hy-drocarbon generation by using residual organic carbon.Based on the evolution law of the Mesozoic and Cenozoic basins in East China,the paper analyzes the evolutionary features of basins evolution phases and hydrocarbon ac-cumulation processes,explores the relationship between the hydrocarbon source rock and porous diagenesis,and then builds up a new model for quantitative calculating hydrocarbon accumulation amount in limited spaces.

Key words: hydrocarbon generation in a limited space, basin modeling, basin evolution and hydrocarbon generation, resource evaluation, Mesozoic and Cenozoic, continental petroliferous basin, eastern China
