  • 1 Charge

  • Name four depositional environments for potential source rocks

    1. Sapropels form due stratification --> high percipitation fresh water  CLIMATE CONTROL
    2. Ocean Anoxic Events
    3. Big OMZ
    4. Transgrssive system tracts 
  • how to distinguish marine and terrestial source rocks

    marine: high sulphur content terrestial: high conc. C7 napthenes and presence waxy peaks (C25), chemical fossils (oleanane trace of plant)
  • What is a kerogen? and explain components

    non soluble organic material; liptinite (Type I and II), vitrinite (type III) and inertinite (type IV)
  • TOC of COAL is >50% dot they contain primarily vitrinite do they produce mainly gas or oil?

    vitrinite primarly gas
  • Quality source rock in...?Methods to characterise and analyse source rocks

    SPI source potential index of immature SR HI, S1, S2, Tmax, maturity (vitrinite reflectance)

  • Source rocks form in different settings, and not all source rocks are the same  make diagram

    •  Type I: algal matter, lacustrine environments: prolific oil 
    •  Type II: marine source rocks: good oil & gas 
    •  Type III: terrestrial source rocks: mainly gas 
    •  Type IV: oxidised organic matter: poor source rock 
  • 2 Reservoir

  • Turbidites are often formed with a .... sealvl

    low stand system tract
  • Regression and transgression and stable sealvl

    regression turbidites, stable seatvl --> rapid progradation --> slumping, 
  • Synsedimentray or growth faulting leads what reservoir?

    coarse material in hanging wall
  • 3 Seals

  • Seals break if buoyancy pressure is sufficient to allow hydrocarbons to enter and pass through water wet pores if they overcome capillary pressure which depends on

    -hydrocarbon-water interfacial tension
    - the wettabillity
    - the radius of the largest pore-throats
