      Abstract
    • The geochemical properties and phase types of marine oil and gas in Tarim basin are complex and diverse. Heavy oil, normal oil, condensate and natural gas coexist from a reservoir profile. By comprehensively applying various geochemical analysis methods, the information of phase types, components and stable isotopes of deep-seated Marine oil and gas in Tarim basin is obtained, and the geochemical characteristics of different phase types of oil and gas are compared, and demonstrate a variety of secondary geochemical mechanisms and processes such as biodegradation, gas invasion and fractionation, thermochemical sulfate reduction (TSR), and thermal cracking of marine oil and gas; And further the quantitative evaluation parameters formulae for the strength of secondary transformation based on the products of secondary geochemistry such as thiadiamondoids and ethanodiamondoids were established respectively, can be effectively used in the qualitative prediction of the spatial distribution of oil and gas properties and phase behavior, the diversity of deep oil and gas phase formation mechanism and distribution of prediction before drilling and has certain theory and guiding significance.
