Abstract:

Rock-Eval data,carbon and oxygen isotopes and molecular geochemical parameters of the source rocks in Es4(the 4th member of Paleogene Shahejie Fm)-the lower Es3(the 3rd member of Paleogene Shahejie Fm)in Langgu Sag were integrated to study the formation mechanism of lacustrine source rocks with low abundance under different tectonic and climatic conditions.Rock pyrolysis and kerogens' maceral composition analysis revealed that the Es4 and the lower Es3 are the similar in the major kerogen type of Ⅱ,but are quite different in organic matter abundance.Based on analyses of carbon and oxygen isotopes in the context of regional tectonic and palaeo-climate settings,we established depositional models for the source rocks in Es4-lower Es3.The source rock in the Es4 was deposited in a lake basin at the initial stage of rifting,with low width/depth ratio,arid climate,and brackish water or saline water with stable salinity stratification.Its 13C-depleted of the inorganic and organic matter and lower Pr/Ph might reflect relatively low primary productivity and better organic preservation.In contrast,the source rock in the lower Es3 was deposited in a lake basin in the intense rifting stage,with a high width/depth ratio,warm and humid climate,fresh water,and frequent water-column overturning with unstable temperature stratification.Its 13C enrichment of the inorganic and organic matter and C27/C29 sterane ratios were interpreted to be caused by higher primary productivity and more terrigenous organic matter input.
