PETROLEUM VS HYDROCARBON
Petroleum : complex mixture of naturally occurring hydrocarbon
compounds found in rock. Petroleum can range from solid to gas, but
the term is generally used to refer to liquid crude oil. Impurities such
as sulfur, oxygen and nitrogen are common in petroleum. There is
considerable variation in color, gravity, odor, sulfur content and
viscosity in petroleum from different areas.

GENESIS OF PETROLEUM
The series of facts related to hydrocarbon origin:
Geologic:
(1) Most hydrocarbon deposits occur in sedimentary rocks, most of the sedimentary rocks
with oil are marine.
(2) Many hydrocarbon deposits occur in porous and permeable sandstones and carbonate
rocks, which are totally enclosed in other impermeable rocks.
(3) Other minor geologic occurrences:
a) in basement rocks, not voluminous
b) igneous and metamorphic rocks, but commercial deposits are always laterally
continuous with sedimentary rocks
c) Traces of hydrocarbons occur in stony chondritic meteorites
Chemical:
(1) Differences between old and young oils:
a) Old oils contain more even-numbered chains than young oils (these tend to have odd
number chains).
b) Old oils contain more than 50% light hydrocarbons, which are rare in young
sediments.
(2) Similarities between crude oils and organically produced hydrocarbons
a) both have optical property of levorotation
b) Both contain specific complex organic molecules (porphyrins- containing a 5-member
ring with a N substituted for a carbon, and steroids- complex heavy hydrocarbons,
Typically C25)
c) There are biomarkers that can be identified in particular source beds and crude oils.
(3) Similar fingerprinting can be done using gas chromatography.

Organic theory
Animal origin theory (Engler, 1911)
Vegetable origin theory (Hofer)
Hydrogenation of coal or other carbonaceous materials
What happens to all the organic matter (i.e. bug guts) as it gets buried?
Obviously it is subjected to higher pressure and temperatures. Three major
steps. Of course there are gradations between steps, like all things in geology:
(1) Diagenesis
Shallow subsurface. Includes biogenic decay (bacteria) and abiotic reactions.
Products include kerogen (the solid remaining) methane, carbon dioxide
(bicarbonate at most pH), water, H2S.The major change to the solid is that its
oxygen content is reduced, but the hydrogen/carbon ratio isn't changed greatly.
( ) Catagenesis
(2) C
Continued burial. Fluid hydrocarbons is released from the solid matter. Initially
liquids, and later at higher temperatures gas. The hydrogen/carbon ratio
decreases, but the O/C ratio doesn't change much.
(3) Metagenesis.
Continued burial, Pressure and temperatures approach metamorphic values.
Largely methane expelled at these T and P. The H/C ratio continues to decline in
the solid as the fluid H/C ratio increase. Remaining product is graphite.

Oil Reservoir
Cracking
Methane
Metagenesis
Carbon (modified from Tissot and Welte, 1984)
Diagenetic hydrocarbon formation occurs at shallow depths and relatively low formation
temperatures. During catagenesis, oil and wet gas forms, followed by dry gas and the
cracking of heavy hydrocarbons. When the metagenesis occurs, all heavy
hydrocarbons have been cracked, and methane and carbon are the end products.

KEROGEN TYPES
((2)) Type
yp II- combination algal
g and zooplankton
p and phytoplankton
p y p
Has intermediate H/C and H/O ratio to those of Type I and Type II
(3) Type III- generally from woody (land) plants- Humic material
Rich in aromatics, but low in aliphatic compounds. It has a very low
H/C ratio and higher H/O ratio. Generally undergoes diagenesis to form
coal- the only liquid hydrocarbon it produces is methane.
Thus, when evaluating an province it is important to determine the
amount, as well as the type of kerogen present.

TIME-TEMPERATURE INDEX
Complex formulation to calculate a value of TTI that is based on values for E, A,
and T and t for the amount of time that organic matter stays within a 10C
window. There is also a second relationship to calculate the value of TTI for
sediment that resides for a certain time at a certain temperature
These equations are solved for each type of kerogen (different values of E and
A)) and then p
plotted g
graphically
p y to simplify
p y their calculations.
The next step is to sum up all values of TTI for each 10C window or for periods
of constant temperature. This provides a value of STTI, which is related to the %
oil generated by:
x% = [1-exp(-STTI/100)]*100
The importance of using this type of calculations is that it takes into account the
kinetics of oil generation from kerogen. Because activation energy is so variable
for each type of kerogen it is important to account for it.
