Abstract

Centrifugal swelling experiments using n-hexadecane and 1-methylnaphthalene were carried out to explore the connection between hydrocarbon retention and expulsion in type Ⅰ kerogen. A driving force-hydrocarbon expulsion model was innovatively established through the results of differential centrifugation experiments and low field nuclear magnetic resonance. Additionally, the hydrocarbon expulsion process of kerogen was categorized into three distinct stages based on the driving force, including free, intergranular state and immovable state (adsorption and swelling) hydrocarbon expulsion. A linear correlation also was established between the T1/T2 signal and the liquid hydrocarbon content during the swelling process, revealing that low-field NMR technology could effectively detect the retention of alkane compounds in kerogen. The study revealed that when the driving force is greater than 647.4 g N, most of the shale oil retained in the kerogen is in an immobile state, which cannot be exploited. Additionally, the hydrocarbon expulsion model based on the centrifugal experiment presents several advantages, including low equipment requirements, straightforward operation, and a broad range of applications. This model can effectively support various types of laboratories conducting shale oil retention assessment work, especially those in oilfields with relatively simple experimental setups.

期刊介绍: Organic Geochemistry serves as the only dedicated medium for the publication of peer-reviewed research on all phases of geochemistry in which organic compounds play a major role. The Editors welcome contributions covering a wide spectrum of subjects in the geosciences broadly based on organic chemistry (including molecular and isotopic geochemistry), and involving geology, biogeochemistry, environmental geochemistry, chemical oceanography and hydrology. The scope of the journal includes research involving petroleum (including natural gas), coal, organic matter in the aqueous environment and recent sediments, organic-rich rocks and soils and the role of organics in the geochemical cycling of the elements. Sedimentological, paleontological and organic petrographic studies will also be considered for publication, provided that they are geochemically oriented. Papers cover the full range of research activities in organic geochemistry, and include comprehensive review articles, technical communications, discussion/reply correspondence and short technical notes. Peer-reviews organised through three Chief Editors and a staff of Associate Editors, are conducted by well known, respected scientists from academia, government and industry. The journal also publishes reviews of books, announcements of important conferences and meetings and other matters of direct interest to the organic geochemical community.
