14. Petroleum accumulation(石油累積)Petroleum reservoir(石油油藏;油藏;油層) • Petroleum accumulation必須具備 (1)Oil ＆ gas 之來源 (2)具有孔隙(porosity)及滲透率(permeability)之Reservoir Rock (3) 要有trap(封閉)以阻擋流體的流動

15. 石油的來源

16. 石油的來源 • －石油來自沈積岩的有機物質 • －海洋裡大量的生物不停的，緩慢的掉落到海底。 雖然在掉落的過程中，有部分被吃掉或被氧化掉， 但另部份(動物或植物)掉落海底而埋在沼澤或泥濘之 海底 • －海底繼續被Sand(砂)，Clay(黏土)及debris等沈積物埋沒 一直到幾千英呎 • －沈積物的壓力開始作用。 • 細菌由殘餘的有機物質中，用掉氧而分解物質， 使其僅存碳及氫 • －在高度的壓力及重量的地層影響之下， Clays變成Shales → 石油產生

17. 砂、淤泥及泥土的顆粒沉到水裡，蓋在死的矽藻類以及其他的動植物之上。而且，水被夾在這些砂、淤泥及泥土的顆粒之中。砂、淤泥及泥土的顆粒沉到水裡，蓋在死的矽藻類以及其他的動植物之上。而且，水被夾在這些砂、淤泥及泥土的顆粒之中。 不久，這些顆粒，又被其他的動植物殘骸覆蓋。這個過程，一再的重複，最後，泥、砂及水累積達幾千呎厚。 這些砂、泥在堆積過程中，底部的砂、泥受到上部砂、泥而擠壓 在河流、湖及海底的泥、砂、水及動植物殘骸所受的覆蓋壓力逐漸的變大 當覆蓋深度加大而變深，其溫度也增加。經過幾百萬年之後，在適當的壓力及溫度之下，這些泥砂顆粒就變硬而成為岩石，類似褐色或灰色的水泥。 當動植物的殘骸腐朽之後，形成石油及天然氣，大部分的石油及天然氣係由相當微小的動植物殘骸而來的 確實的石油及天然氣之形成原因仍不清楚。但是，溫度、壓力及細菌是很重要的因素。

18. Petroleum formation requires that organic source clays become mature by subjection to pressure and temperature.

19. 石油形成的重要條件 • 225℉ < temperature < 350℉ 有利條件 • temperature < 150℉ 不可能形成石油 • temperature > 500℉ 有機物質碳化， 不能形成石油

20. Generation of gas and oil

22. In geology and oceanography, diagenesis is any chemical, physical, or biological change undergone by a sediment after its initial deposition and during and after its lithification, exclusive of surface alteration (weathering) and metamorphism.

23. Catagenesis can refer to: • Catagenesis (geology)– The cracking process in which organic kerogens are broken down into hydrocarbons; • Catagenesis (biology)– Retrogressive evolution, as contrasted with anagenesis.

24. Metamorphism can be defined as the solid state recrystallisation of pre-existing rocks due to changes in heat and/or pressure and/or introduction of fluids i.e without melting. There will be mineralogical, chemical and crystallographic changes

25. Prolonged exposure to high temperatures, or shorter exposure to very high temperatures, may lead progressively to the generation of hydrocarbon mixtures characterized as condensates, wet gases and gas. • The average organic content of potential source rocks is about 1% by weight. The Kimmeridge clay, the principal source rock for North Sea oil average about 5% carbon (~7% organic mater) with local rich streaks greater than 40%. The hydrogen content of the organic matter should be greater than 7% by weight for potential as an oil source.

26. It is a rule of thumb that for each percentage point of organic carbon in mature source rocks, some 1300~1500 cubic meters of oil per km2-m (or 10~40 barrels of oil per acre-ft; or 56-225 ft3/ 43560 ft3) of sediment could be generated. • (1.3~1.5 m3oil: 1,000 m3 rock) It is not, however, necessarily true that all the oil generated will be expelled or trapped in porous rock.

27. 經過porous bed 有permeability 石油形成 ( in source rock) Migration Traps＆Reservoir Rocks 由於Compaction of Source bed and ………. 石油移棲 • The migration process involves two main stages, namely from the source rock and then through a permeable system.

28. Migration of petroleum -- from the source rock

29. Migration of petroleum -- from the source rock ** Capillary effect ** Microfractures Since the generation of petroleum is accompanied by volume changes which can lead to high local pressures, there may well be an initiation of microfractures which provide an escape route into permeable systems such as sedimentary rocks or fault planes. The source rock microfractures are believed to heal as pressures are dissipated.

30. Migration of petroleum --through a permeable system ** Fluid potential gradient or gravity effect In the permeable system the transport occurs under conditions of a fluid potential gradient which may take the hydrocarbon to surface or to some place where it becomes trapped. It might be assumed that less than 10% of petroleum generated in source rocks is both expelled and trapped, as shown in the example of Fig. 2.5.

32. Petroleum traps(石油封閉) • The characteristic forms of petroleum trap are known as structural traps(構造封閉) and stratigraphic traps(地層封閉), with the great majority of known accumulation being in the former style.

33. Erosion － Sedimentation Uplift － wearing down Strata or bed Unconformity －disconformity －Angular unconformity Upward downward Upper crust movement Arches (or upfold) → anticlines Traughs (or downfold) → synclines Fault Folds Normal Reverse Thrust Lateral Important to petroleum accumulation 地質構造（Geological Structures）

36. Cap rock and fluid distribution • Impermeable rocks provide seal above and below the permeable reservoir rocks. • At equilibrium conditions, the density differences between the oil, gas and water phases can result in boundary regions between them known as fluid contacts, i.e. gas-oil and oil-water contacts.

37. Structural trap (構造封閉) -- Anticline Longitudinal view of a typical anticline. The oil cannot escape upward because of the impervious shale bed above the oil sand; neither can it travel downward because of the water that is associated with an accumulation of this type. Anticlines－ Of the many types of structural features present in the upper layers of the earths crust that can trap oil, the most important is the anticlines－the type of structure from which the greater part of the word’s oil has been produced. Anticlines are upfolds of beds in the earth’s crust, and, when the proper conditions are present, oil accumulates within the closure of there folds.
