Abstract

The distribution of Carboniferous source rock in eastern Junggar basin is extensive. Presently, commercial natural gas reservoirs are mainly derived from Carboniferous mudstones in Wucaiwan depression and Dishuiquan fault belts. According to the conventional geochemical analysis of Lower Carboniferous Nanmingshui Formation field mudstone samples in north Qiakuerte prairie of northeastern Junggar basin, the geochemical characteristics were examined including hydrocarbon generation potential, depositional environment, organic matter input and maturation. The organic matter content of partial samples is high, and its vitrinite reflectance is beyond 1.5%, which reflect the high maturity of the organic matter, and the type of the organic matter is the third kind of kerogen. Based on nalkanes, isoprenoids and gammaceranes, the organic matter of mudstone is formed in anoxic and slightly saline or fresh water. Combined with the characteristics of tepanes’ and steranes’ biomarkers, it is suggested that the organic matter is originated from the higher plant, and also algaes input possibly. And therefore the relative abundances of Aromatic hydrocarbons such as chrysene, phenanthrene, retene, fluoranthene, benzo pyene, benzofluoranthene and dibenzothiophene are higher. The isotope values of kerogen and group compositions from core extracts of Nanmingshui Formation mudstones also demonstrate above mentioned views. In the Carboniferous Period, the sedimentary facies of Junggar basin changed from south to north, which was deposited in marine en vironment in south, but in north it was prodelta and shoreside or shallow lacustrine facies, locally swamp deposit. Carboniferous source rocks generate natural gas and have a great significance of petroleum geology.
