Theories on Origin of Petroleum
Abiogenic
Petroleum was formed from deep carbon deposits, perhaps relating to the formation of the Earth, and that petroleum migrate upward from the mantle
(Thomas Gold, 1999)
Biogenic
Pooled oil and gas in porous reservoirs can only be explained by its origin in thermally mature, organic-rich, sedimentary source rocks
(Wallace Dow, 2002)
Satyana (2014)
Petroleum Geochemistry
Geochemistry is the application of chemistry to the study of rocks and fluids.
(Selley, 1985 : Elements of petroleum geology)
The application of chemical principles to the study of the origin, migration, accumulation, and alteration of petroleum and the use of this knowledge in the exploration and production of oil and gas.
(Hunt, 1996 : Petroleum geochemistry and geology)
Satyana (2014)
What can petroleum geochemistry do ?
• evaluate physical and chemical properties of oil and/or gas in basin
• determine how many oil and/or gas families are present in basin
• expect source/s of oil and/or gas in basin
• evaluate presence, quality, and maturity of source rocks in basin
• determine volumetric of oil and/or gas generated, migrated, and accumulated in basin,
• evaluate migration pathways of oil and/or gas in basin
• predict fluid type (oil/gas/water) containing in prospect ahead of drilling
• predict in-reservoir alteration (e.g. biodegradation) and its trend
• understand intra-field/-reservoir petroleum variations
• etc.

What can petroleum geochemistry do ?
Clayton and Fleet (1991)
in Satyana (2014)
How we have ignored petroleum geochemistry ?
Satyana (2014)
a. What people know (in lesser detail): reservoir, trap, seal, kitchen, migration.
b. Too much evaluation on reservoir and trap. Too less evaluation on hydrocarbon charging (evaluation on kitchen and migration are too over-simplified).
c. One with strong interest, knowledge, and experience on geochemistry is scarce.

After Murris (1984) in Satyana (2014)
Source Rock
• Sedimentary rocks that are, or may become, or have been able to generate petroleum are source rocks
Tissot and Welte (1984)
• Sedimentary rocks commonly contain minerals and organic matter with the pore space occupied by water, bitumen, oil, and / or gas
Peters and Cassa (1994)
Petroleum, Hydrocarbon and Non Hydrocarbon
• Petroleum is a complex mixture of gas, liquid, and solid hydrocarbons and nonhydrocarbons occurring naturally in the earth
• Hydrocarbon is commonly used in the petroleum industry to indicate crude oil or natural gas. In the chemical sense, hydrocarbons are compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen.
• Nonhydrocarbons contain elements in addition to hydrogen and carbon. For example, NSO compounds contain nitrogen, sulfur, or oxygen, and porphyrins contain metals such as vanadium or nickel.
Peters and Cassa (1994)
Brooks (1987) in Satyana (2014)
Bitumen
Fraksi Bitumen dan Crude Oils
Waples (1985)
Kerogen
• Kerogen (from kerosene generator) is defined as the organic
component of source rocks that is insoluble in common organic
solvents and aqueous alkali (NaOH solution). It is the parent of
petroleum.
The soluble portion of the organic matter is termed bitumen or total
soluble extract (TSE)
• Kerogen is of complex biological origin; it is derived from dead
organisms whose organic remains survive the early stages of
diagenesis and lithification.

Rock Eval - Pyrolysis
Time
TOC & Rock Eval - Pyrolysis
• TOC (Total Organic Carbon) : a measurement the organic richness of
sedimentary rocks
• S1 : the amount of free hydrocarbon
• S2 : the amount of the remaining hydrocarbon potential
• S3 : the amount of carbon dioxide released during pyrolysis
• Hydrogen Index (HI) : the hydrogen richness = S2/TOC x 100%
• Oxygen Index (OI) : the oxygen richness = S3/TOC x 100%
Miles (1989)
Rock Eval - Pyrolysis • Tmax
represents the temperature at which the maximum amount of hydrocarbons degraded from kerogen are generated
• The Production Index (PI)
is also in part indicative of the degree of thermal maturity (Peters, 1986)
PI = S1 / (S1+S2)
PI < 0.4 = immature
PI : between 0.4 and 1.0 = mature
PI > 1.0 are indicative of overmature
Miles (1989)

Quality, or type of organic matter

From data above, can you please explain :
1. Which section that could be source rocks?
2. What kind of fluids that have been generated?
3. How mature is that rock?

Colours are based on the Munsell colour solid (right), where each colour is described by a hue, value and chroma such as 5R 6/4. Hue is assigned a letter and divided into ten segments, 5 being the middle of a hue and 10 the boundary between one hue and the next. Value represents the shade of a colour from 1 (light) to 10 (dark) and chroma is the degree of saturation, from grey to vivid.

The most common methods to understand the maturity of source rocks are :
1. Vitrinite reflectance
2. Spore color index
