为分析生物降解原油中甾烷生物标志物分子发生选择性蚀变的先后顺序及生物降解作用对甾烷分子成熟度参数的影响,在渤海湾盆地东营凹陷广饶潜山油藏选择了发生不同程度生物降解作用的原油,利用色谱质谱(GC-MS)仪对其中甾烷进行了定量测试分析和对比。结果发现在生物降解过程中,不同级别的生物降解作用对甾烷具有不同程度的影响:6级以下的生物降解作用对甾烷的降解能力有限,甾烷及其相关化合物比值没有可以识别的改变;6级以上的严重生物降解作用会对甾烷生物标志物的相关参数产生显著的影响。在严重生物降解原油中(级别≥6):甾烷系列被降解和蚀耗的先后顺序为,ααα20R〉αββ20R〉αββ20S≥ααα20S,C27〉C29〉C28,规则甾烷优先于重排甾烷发生降解,C27,C28,C29甾烷优先于C20,C21甾烷发生降解;甾烷生物标志物分子参数C2920S/(20S+20R),C29ββ/(ββ+αα)会发生显著升高,不能真实反映成熟度大小。研究结果为正确评价生物降解原油的成熟度及甾烷生物标志物分子的选择性蚀变提供了新的科学依据。
The alkane and aromatic fraction of eleven biodegraded oils and five non-biodegraded oils from the Dongying Depression,Bohai Bay Basin,Eastern China were analyzed by GC-MS to investigate the effects of biodegradation and thermal maturation on the distributions of steranes.The results indicate that the biodegradation and depletion of steranes emerged in the heavily biodegraded oils(scale≥6).The oil samples show an increase in the C29 sterane C2920S/(20S+20R) and C29ββ/(ββ+αα) thermal maturity parameters in the heavily biodegraded oils,indicating this level of biodegradation(scale≥6) can alter the two maturity parameters.The selective depletion of C27-C29 steranes follows the order ααα 20Rαββ 20Rαββ 20S≥ααα 20S and C27C29C28,and the diasteranes and C20-C21 steranes were much more resistant to biodegradation than regular C27-C29 steranes.
