摘要
Routine GC/MS analysis may apply to the volatilized Low-Molecular-Weight compounds in saturate and aromatic hydrocarbon fractions;thus,relative studies using this technique inevitably bring about some limitations on distribution of miscellaneous sulfur atom.In this article,Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance Mass Spectrometry(FT-ICR MS)with high resolution is employed to investigate the distribution of organic sulfur compounds(OSCs)in the crude oil typically derived from the Eogene carbonate-evaporite sediments with further chemical compositional characterization in molecular level by miscellaneous atomic type,carbon number,and double bond equivalent(DBE).A variety of miscellaneous atomic types with S1,S2,S3,OS,OS2,O2S,O2S2,NS,and NOS etc.(S1 means those OSCs with one sulfur atom in a molecule)were identified in OSCs in these oil samples.High levels of alkyl thioether series compounds with one ring structure were presented mainly in the crude oil in the Jianghan Basin whereas high amounts of benzothiophene,dibenzothiophene etc.compounds with higher values in DBE and carbon number range occurred in the sulfur-rich heavy oil in the Jinxian Sag.Although carbonate-evaporite sediments deposited in the saline lacustrine facies in the Eogene basin both occurred in the Jinxian Sag and Jianghan Basin,obviously,they possess different chemical diagenetic pathway of sulfur under various microbial reactions,leading to diverse distributional characteristics on biomarkers,OSCs,and even different hydrocarbon generation mechanism of immature crude oil.
Routine GC/MS analysis may apply to the volatilized Low-Molecular-Weight compounds in saturate and aromatic hydrocarbon fractions; thus, relative studies using this technique inevitably bring about some limitations on distribution of miscellaneous sulfur atom. In this article, Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance Mass Spectrometry（FT-ICR MS） with high resolution is employed to investigate the distribution of organic sulfur compounds（OSCs） in the crude oil typically derived from the Eogene carbonate-evaporite sediments with further chemical compositional characterization in molecular level by miscellaneous atomic type, carbon number, and double bond equivalent（DBE）. A variety of miscellaneous atomic types with S1, S2, S3, OS, OS2, O2S, O2S2, NS, and NOS etc.（S1 means those OSCs with one sulfur atom in a molecule） were identified in OSCs in these oil samples. High levels of alkyl thioether series compounds with one ring structure were presented mainly in the crude oil in the Jianghan Basin whereas high amounts of benzothiophene, dibenzothiophene etc. compounds with higher values in DBE and carbon number range occurred in the sulfur-rich heavy oil in the Jinxian Sag. Although carbonate-evaporite sediments deposited in the saline lacustrine facies in the Eogene basin both occurred in the Jinxian Sag and Jianghan Basin, obviously, they possess different chemical diagenetic pathway of sulfur under various microbial reactions, leading to diverse distributional characteristics on biomarkers, OSCs, and even different hydrocarbon generation mechanism of immature crude oil.
