Abstract:

Heteroatomic compounds in saline lacustrine in the Dongpu Sag are weakly documented. ESI FT-ICR MS combined with GC/MS were utilized to reveal oxygen and nitrogen compounds in the saline lacustrine oils and source rocks in the sag. Abundant NO compounds were detected and dominated by N1, O1 and O2 class species. It was observed that the relative abundance of the N1 and O1 species increased with increasing maturity, while the contents of O2 species decreased with increasing maturity. It was also observed that there is an apparent increase in the condensation degree and a decrease in the carbon number of the N1, O1 and O2 species with increasing of maturity. Several indices including DB15+/DBE14--N1 having a good relationship with calculated vitrinite reflection (Rc). Oil-oil and oil-source rock correlations based on-ESI FT-ICR MS showed that, the majority of the saline lacustrine oils in the northern Dongpu Depression was sourced from the relatively mature source rocks. It was proved that nitrogen and oxygen containing compounds have a good application prospect in maturity evaluation, source rock and hydrocarbon migration tracing.

Key words: Dongpu Sag, saline lacustrine oil, nitrogen/oxygen compounds, high resolution mass
