严重生物降解原油GC-MS特征及油源对比

图牧吉油砂位于松辽盆地边缘,搞清它的油源对于该地区的油气勘探有着十分重要的意义。气相色谱-质谱分析表明,该样品受到了严重的生物降解,部分用于对比的甾、萜烷生标标志物受到了降解,使与之有关的参数值发生了变化,给油源对比带来了困难。本研究采用抗生物降解的三环萜烷和四环萜烷等作生标对比参数,将图牧吉油砂与周边已知烃源岩的原油进行对比,确定了该生物降解油来自松辽盆地的嫩江组和青三口组烃源岩。该研究为严重生物降解原油的油源对比提供了有效的方法。     

原油与沥青质热解产物的GC-MS分析

较严重生物降解的原油没有正构烷烃,甚至缺失类异二戊烯烃,给油源研究造成一定困难.这种降解油中沥青质含量很高,用沥青质热解可产生相当量的正构烷烃和其它的烃类成分,例如:类异戊二烯烃、甾烷、萜烷、芳烃等成分也会有所变化.本文研究它们的变化特点、变化的幅度,找出一定的规律性,以对利用原油沥青质热降解产物用于油源对比时分析它们的相似性有所帮助.实验证明,总体上看沥青质的热降解产物与原油的烃类分布上比较相似,但并不一致,有的差距比较大,应该做一些校正,有的则比较稳定可靠.     

沙特减压渣油临氮热反应过程中沥青质聚集体尺寸变化研究

将沙特轻质原油的减压渣油在395℃临氮条件下进行热反应,利用在线取样装置得到不同热反应时间的样品,借助小角X射线散射(SAXS)技术,测定了各液相残渣油中沥青质聚集体尺寸。结果表明,热反应生焦诱导期的初期沥青质聚集体的尺寸逐渐减小,为29~21 nm;在生焦诱导期后期,其尺寸急剧增大,在热反应进行到150 min时达到43 nm;达到生焦诱导期后,沥青质聚集体尺寸变化较小,在46~42 nm变化。在渣油热反应过程中沥青质聚集体的尺寸受沥青质热裂解、沥青质解缔和缔合等过程的共同影响,与沥青质含量无明显关系。     

石油组分及其模型化合物的超分子化学作用

原油是最复杂的化学体系之一,人们对原油这种复杂的胶态分散体及其稳定性的研究兴趣与日俱增,尤其是与石油稳定性密切相关的沥青质超分子聚集体。但人们对形成沥青质超分子聚集体的主要作用力长期以来颇有争议。本文重点介绍了石油组分及其模型化合物在溶液中形成超分子聚集体的超分子化学作用研究进展。通过实验方法和理论计算证明沥青质聚集体是沥青质分子间通过氢键、π-π堆积、偶极-偶极相互作用等多种分子间弱相互作用力协同作用形成的热力学稳定结构;合成具有沥青质结构特点的纯化合物,研究它们在溶液中的行为,是提高对沥青质在液态相中自缔合行为认识的有效方法;结合现阶段的研究状况,对石油组分模型化合物的超分子化学作用研究的发展前景进行了展望。     

钌离子催化氧化研究石油沥青质芳香环系结构特征

对四种石油沥青质钌离子催化（RICO）的研究表明，芳羧酸产物中三元以上的芳羧酸主要分布在水相中，二元芳羧酸在水相和有机相中均有分布，而一元芳羧酸完全分布在有机相中。产物甲酯化后利用色谱/质谱检测到苯甲酸甲酯和对苯二甲酸二甲酯，表明沥青质中存在被忽略的联苯型（包括三联苯型）芳香环系的结构，现有沥青质结构模型可能高估了芳香环系的缩合程度。根据RICO氧化分析结果本文计算了沥青质的芳香环系结构特征参数，发现该参数能较好地反映沥青质芳环结构特征，而且与原油成熟度可能存在一定关系。

中东常压渣油热反应过程中沥青质的缔合性变化规律

用表面张力法研究了中东常压渣油热反应过程中正庚烷沥青质缔合性的变化。测定沥青质的不同浓度甲苯溶液的表面张力,利用溶液的临界胶束浓度表征沥青质的缔合性。定义蒸气压渗透法(VPO法)测得的沥青质平均分子量和表面张力法计算得到的平均分子量之比为沥青质的缔合度参数。结果表明,随着热反应的进行,在生焦诱导期内,沥青质的临界胶束浓度下降、沥青质缔合度参数增大,缔合性增强；达到生焦诱导期后临界胶束浓度上升、缔合度参数下降,缔合性下降。     

石油沥青质的NMR测定及其模型分子推测

从6种不同原油中分离提取了正己烷不溶的沥青质，测定了沥青质的1H NMR(Nuclear Magnetic Resonance)和13C NMR谱，从不同类型氢和碳原子的质量分数计算得到了一系列平均结构参数，结合相对分子质量测定和元素分析，给出了沥青质基本结构单元的平均分子式，推测了模型分子的结构。结果表明，沥青质的基本结构单元可以用稠环芳烃连接环烷烃和烷基侧链并含氧、氮和硫等杂原子的单元表示，结构单元之间形成缔合体，缔合数为4～6。     

碳质颗粒添加物对渣油热反应生焦的影响

在高压反应釜中研究了三种不同碳质颗粒添加物对克拉玛依常压渣油420℃氮气气氛下热反应生焦的影响。实验结果表明，反应初期碳质颗粒在一定程度上抑制渣油的热反应生焦。碳质颗粒抑制生焦的能力与其表面对极性组分的润湿吸附能力有直接关系，表面易被极性组分润湿的颗粒吸附沥青质的能力强，其抑制渣油生焦的能力也强。碳质颗粒对沥青质的吸附能力和抑制生焦的能力与其比表面积没有直接关系。生焦量随反应时间的变化表明，碳质颗粒在生焦的初期有抑制生焦的作用，后期有促进作用。对甲苯不溶物（TI）的扫描电子显微镜（SEM）和热重（TG）分析表明，和不含添加物的TI相比，含添加物的TI中，小球状甲苯不溶物的数量少、直径小。沥青质和生焦前驱相在碳质颗粒添加物表面的吸附和铺展作用是抑制渣油生焦的主要原因，该作用可以限制生焦前驱相的融并长大，在反应的初始阶段减少生焦量。     

Geochemical characterisation of heavily biodegraded tar sand bitumens by catalytic hydropyrolysis

Catalytic hydropyrolysis was used to release the aliphatic biomarkers covalently bound within the asphaltene structure of highly biodegraded Nigerian tar sand bitumens. Unlike the free aliphatic hydrocarbons extracted from the bitumen, the hydropyrolysis products of the asphaltenes afford aliphatic biomarkers having the characteristics of the initial unaltered oil, which had been trapped within the asphaltene matrix of the bitumen and protected from biodegradation processes. The biomarker profiles obtained allow proper characterisation of the bitumen in terms of source and thermal maturity. Catalytic hydropyrolysis is also capable of releasing aromatic hydrocarbons that can be used in the geochemical characterisation of the bitumen.     

Determination of the Onset of Asphaltene Precipitation by Visible Ultraviolet Spectrometry and Spectrofluorimetry

Abstract

Asphaltene deposition is a problem for the petroleum industry, affecting the production, transport, and storage of crude oil. The aim of this work is to develop and compare different methods to determine asphaltene precipitation. Two asphaltene fractions, one extracted from a Brazilian crude oil sample and the other from petroleum distillation residue, were evaluated by using model systems constituted of toluene/n-heptane in different compositions, using visible ultraviolet spectrometry and spectrofluorimetry. The results of the precipitation tests carried out by these two methods agreed, indicating they are effective to analyze asphaltene deposition and the performance of chemicals as asphaltene stabilizers.     

Thermal kinetics study of light oil oxidation using TG/DTG techniques

In this study, the oxidation behavior of crude oils in the presence and absence of rock cuttings was investigated by thermogravimetry/derivative thermogravimetry (TG/DTG) techniques. Prior to these tests, the composition of cuttings and properties of crude oils were analyzed. Three obvious reaction regions were observed from the TG/DTG curves which are recognized as low-temperature oxidation (LTO), fuel deposition (FD), and high-temperature oxidation. The effects of light components (C_7–15), heavy fractions (asphaltene, paraffin, resin), and cutting on oil oxidation behavior were analyzed. Kinetic analysis of crude oils and oil + cutting mixtures was performed by Arrhenius method, and the data were analyzed at last. Results show that high content C_7–15 hydrocarbons can provide negative effect on the LTO behavior of crude oil. On the contrary, the high content unsaturated heavy hydrocarbons including asphaltene, paraffin, and resin are benefit for the oxidation performance. In addition, a shortened FD stage and higher peak temperature in LTO region are observed by addition of cutting. Cutting especially clay in it plays an active role of catalyzing in oil oxidation reaction.

Comparative study of crude oils from the Machete area in the Eastern Venezuelan Basin by pyrolysis of asphaltenes

This work is an analysis of crude oil samples from the two most recent producing wells in the Machete area (Orinoco Tar Belt, Venezuela). The aim is to determine the type of environment in which the precursor organic materials were deposited. In spite of the fact that the degree of maturity and the biodegradation of the two crude oils are similar, their characterization leads us to conclude that they have very distinctive and different origins. The comparative study was performed by separating their main fractions, pyrolysis of asphaltenes, and further identification of several indicators (aromatic, polar and sulfur compounds, linear aliphatic hydrocarbons, and cadalene). Moreover, several biomarkers (terpanes, hopanoids and steranes) present in the saturated fractions obtained from the two crude oils were analyzed by using gas chromatography combined with mass spectrometry (GC–MS). The statistical study of geochemical indicator values and relative proportions of lipid and lipid-like biomarkers present in products from asphaltene pyrolysis shows a high probability of there being two distinct crude oil families from the Machete area.     

Effect of Crude Oil Aging on Asphaltene Inhibitor Product Recommendation

Aging refers to the deterioration of hydrocarbon fluids that manifests as changes in the physicochemical characteristics of the fluid upon exposure to ambient conditions. In order to understand the effect of aging of crude oils on asphaltene inhibitor product recommendation, simulated aging studies were performed on a crude oil from Wyoming with known asphaltene issues. The results clearly show that aging of crude oil affects the stability of the oil with respect to asphaltenes and caution must be exercised when recommending asphaltene inhibitor if the evaluations were performed on fluids after long-term storage. A real case study where ambient storage in the lab adversely affects the stability of the crude oil and renders asphaltene inhibitor ineffective further confirms results from simulated aging.     

压力对塔里木原油四组分热解性能的影响

压力对深层油藏原油热化学过程的影响尚存在较大争议,为研究其在油藏原油热解成气过程中的作用机理,我们在450℃、5~40 MPa压力下对塔里木原油四组分(饱和分、芳香分、胶质和沥青质)进行了封闭体系的热解实验,通过气相色谱(GC)和气相色谱/质谱(GC/MS)分别对原油四组分热解反应的气体产物及饱和分热解过程的液态产物进行了分析。结果表明,在450℃、24 h及不同压力下,沥青质热解产气率高于胶质、芳香分和饱和分;四组分的气相热解产物中,C1的产率明显高于C2~C5组分。增大压力抑制沥青质、胶质及芳香分的热解产气过程而促进饱和分的热解产气过程。随压力的增大,饱和分热解的液态产物的主峰组分碳数先减小,再增大。压力低于20 MPa时,饱和分热解过程中以裂解反应为主;高于30 MPa时,增大压力有利于缩合反应。研究结果可为认识深层油藏原油的稳定程度及天然气的成因提供一定的理论参考。

Molecular characterization of organically-bound sulfur in crude oils. A feasibility study for the application of Raney Ni desulfurization as a new method to characterize crude oils

Five crude oils with varying sulfur contents (0.1 – 4.7%) were characterized on a molecular level for organically-bound sulfur. Aromatic fractions were analyzed by GC-(MS) and asphaltene and polar fractions were analyzed by flash pyrolysis-GC-(MS). The polar fractions were also desulfurized with Raney Ni and the hydrocarbons formed were analyzed by GC-MS. Major sulfur compounds in the aromatic fractions were identified as alkylbenzo- and alkyldiben-zothiophenes. The flash pyrolyzates of the asphaltene contained alkylthiophenes and alkylbenzothiophenes as major compounds, depending on the thermal maturity of the oil. Generally, the sulfur-rich crude oils contained relatively more sulfur compounds. The flash pyrolyzates of polar fractions contained a variety of sulfur compounds (alkylthiolanes, alkylthianes, terpenoid sulfides, alkylbenzothiophenes) with substantial differences between different crude oils. Raney Ni desulfurization of the polar fraction yielded hydrocarbons dominated by n-alkanes, but isoprenoid alkanes, n-alkylcyclohexanes, mid-chain methylalkanes, tricyclic terpanes, hopanes and steranes were also present. These hydrocarbons show a potential to fingerprint crude oils since their distribution patterns are more characteristic than those of the hydrocarbons present in the saturated hydrocarbon fraction.     

Circular dichroism of crude oil and its derivatives. Role of permolecular structures

Petrols with different octane numbers, diesel fuel and solutions of crude oil in toluene have been studied by the methods of absorption spectroscopy, circular dichroism spectroscopy and correlation spectroscopy of scattered light. Circular dichroism signal was registered for crude oil solutions in the spectral ranges corresponding to the measured earlier resonance absorption of asphaltene solutions in toluene. We show that the optical activity of crude oil solutions is due to the aggregation of asphaltene molecules in one spectral range and is intensified with the aggregation of asphaltene molecules in another spectral range. Petrols have no optical activity. The optical activity registered for diesel fuel is possibly due to the aggregation of asphaltene molecules.
