Effect of magmatic hydrothermal on gas reservoir formation in Permian-Lower Triassic source rocks in Huangqiao Area, South China
The main source rocks for gas reservoirs in Huangqiao area of Lower Yangtze region in south China are Permian-Lower Triassic marine strata with high maturity, including carbonate and clastic rocks. A series of geochemical experiments have been carried out in order to reveal the forming mechanism of large gas reservoirs. Geochemical characteristics of crude oils show the source kitchen, which contributes to the large gas reservoir formation, has changed from kerogen cracking to oil cracking. Based on the results of geological evidences, abnormal distribution of vitrinite reflectance, and fluid inclusion characteristics, magmatic hydrothermal is believed to be existed in Huangqiao area. The magmatic hydrothermal changes the source kitchen in two ways. First, the source rock evolution is accelerated by thermal provided by magmatic hydrothermal. Second, it provides hydrogen in the water contained in magmatic hydrothermal to improve liquid hydrocarbons transforming into gases. Thus, the magmatic hydrothermal might considered to be an important factor forming large-scale gas reservoirs in South China.
