Zhu Guangyou, Jin Qiang, Zhou Jianlin, et al. Physical properties and genesis of oil in Shengtuo oilfield in Jiyang depression[J]. 2004, 25(1): 9-13.DOI: 10.11743/ogg20040102.
Crude oil in Shengtuo oilfield in Dongying depression can be classified into heavy oil and normal light oil according to their physical properties.The former
accumulated in shallow reservoirs
are the result of secondary modification of low-maturity oil generated from the source rocks in the 4th member of Shahejie Formation;while the latter
accumulated in deep lithological and structural-lithological reservoirs
have high maturity. They can also be divided into three types according to their sulfur content.Oil with high sulfur content are distributed in shallow reservoirs and generated from source rocks deposited in salt or saline lake in the 4th member of Shahejie Formation; oil with low sulfur content are distributed in the deep 3rd member of Shahejie Formation and are generated from source rocks deposited in freshwater-brackish lake in the 3rd member of Shahejie Formation;while oil with medium sulfur content have mixed sources.Therefore
sulfur content can be used as an effective index for oil source correlation.
