Abstract:

The genesis of natural gas in the Bozhong 19-6 gas condensate field in the Bohai Bay Basin is analyzed by means of petroleum geochemical analyses, and the genetic relationship between condensate and natural gas is thereby determined.The results show that the natural gas in the Bozhong 19-6 gas condensate field is mainly composed of wet hydrocarbon gases with relatively low C1/(C2+C3) values ranging from 6.4 to 7.3, and carbon isotope values of methane and ethane ranging from -38.0‰ to -39.0‰ and from -25.4‰ to -27.0‰, respectively, indicating humic-prone kerogene-cracked gases probably derived from the source rocks of the third member of the Shahejie Formation.A number of condensate and gas maturity parameters show that both condensate and natural gas from the field are mature, with natural gas slightly maturer than condensate.Geological evidences also reveal that the field went through a hydrocarbon accumulation process of "early oil and late gas", with the main condensate accumulation stages (since 12 Ma) prior to those of natural gas (since 5 Ma).
