Study on hydrocarbon accumulation process in the western section of south slope of Kuqa foreland basin

Abstract:

In recent years, significant breakthroughs have been achieved in the exploration of the Kuqa Depression in the Tarim Basin. However, previous studies on the hydrocarbon accumulation process in the study area are relatively scarce. In this study, organic geochemistry, fluid inclusion experiments, and basin simulation techniques are employed to systematically analyze the source, accumulation period, and accumulation process of crude oil in the study area. The results show that two oil groups, namely Group I and Group II, can be identified in the study area. The tricyclic terpenoids of Group I crude oil follow the pattern of C19 C22 C20>C21>C22
