The application of diamondoids indices for oils from Block 4 of the Muglad Basin in the middle of Africa
The abundances and distribution diamondoids were studied with a series of crude oil samples from Block 4 of the Mugald Basin in Sudan, to investigate the validity of various diamondoid parameters on the oil source, thermal maturity and biodegradation information. All crude oils of Block 4 were generated by lacustrine source in lower part of the Abu Gabra Formation as a whole, and can be further divided into two crude oil groups: oil group of the Neem-Azraq Uplift and oil group of K-3 well and B-1 well. They are all mature oils within oil window and four crude oils from the Neem-Azraq Uplift were slightly biodegraded. The concentrations of diamondoids in oils of K-3 well and B-1 well, especially the concentration of diamantanes, are higher than those of oils from the Neem-Azraq Uplift. The concentrations of diamondoids are mainly controlled by source of oil, while the influence of thermal maturity and biodegradation may be limited. The isomerization ratios as indicators of thermal maturity are inapplicable at the mature stage, but DMDI-2, 4,8/3,4-DMD and 1-EA/3-EA can clearly distinguish the two groups of crude oils. The concentration ratios of oils from K-3 and B-1 wells are significantly lower than these of oils from Neem-Azraq Uplift, and these concentration ratios including newly proposed parameters such as MAs/DMAs, DMAs/TMAs, D/MDs, MDs/DMDs and so on, are effective indicators on organofacies and oil group division within oil window.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of African Earth Sciences sees itself as the prime geological journal for all aspects of the Earth Sciences about the African plate. Papers dealing with peripheral areas are welcome if they demonstrate a tight link with Africa.
The Journal publishes high quality, peer-reviewed scientific papers. It is devoted primarily to research papers but short communications relating to new developments of broad interest, reviews and book reviews will also be considered. Papers must have international appeal and should present work of more regional than local significance and dealing with well identified and justified scientific questions. Specialised technical papers, analytical or exploration reports must be avoided. Papers on applied geology should preferably be linked to such core disciplines and must be addressed to a more general geoscientific audience.
