GEOCHEMISTY OF BICYCLIC ALKANES IN SEDIMENTS, COAL AND CRUDE OILS

By using GC-MS to analyze the extracts of source rocks, coal and crude oil samplesformed in different sedimentary environments in China, New Zealand and Australia, twenty-two compounds of five types of bicyclic alkanes have been dis covered in the samples. Thispaper makes an exposition of stereochemical structure, abundance and distributive features ofthese compounds and their relation to sedimentary environments and thermal evolution. Furt-thermore, it demonstrates how the abundance ratios of bicyclic alkanes to steranes and ter-panes, drimane to homodramane and the relative abundance of C_(15),C_(16),C_(12)-C_(14) series of bicyclic-alkane compounds can be used to judge and determine types of oil and gas forming environ-ments (the depositive environments of source rocks from which the oil and gas wereformed), characteristics of source rocks and degree of maturation.     

原油、煤和沉积物中二环烷烃的地球化学意义

用GC-MS技术分析了中国、新西兰和澳大利亚不同沉积环境形成的原油、岩石和煤样抽提物中的二环烷烃。这些样品普遍含有C_(12)—C_(13),二环烷烃和C_(14)—C_(16)二环倍半萜化合物,共检出22个谱峰。本文讨论了它们的构型、丰度和分布特征及其与沉积环境和热演化的相关性;根据二环烷烃和二环倍半萜烷烃与甾、萜烷的相对丰度、C_(12)—C_(14)与C_(15)和C_(16)之间的相对丰度以及DHR值(补身烷与高补身烷的比值)可判识油气成因类型、形成环境、母源特征及成熟作用的程度。
