Abstract

Diamondoids,as a kind of compounds with high thermal stability,have been used to determine maturity widely.However,the practical applicability of diamondoid parameters remains controversial.Based on this problem,the pyrolysis simulation experiment of the coal-measure mudstone from Xujiahe Formation,Sichuan Basin was carried out.The results indicate that,with the increase of equivalent vitrinite reflectance(EasyRO),diamondoids experience generation(1.0%O<1.5%) and destruction(EasyRO>1.5%).During this simulation experiment,diamondoid parameters,MAI,EAI and TMAI-1,correlate well with maturity at the range of EasyRO 1.5%-2.5%,1.0%-2.5% and 1.5%-2.5%,respectively,pointing out the effectiveness and applicability of diamondoid parameters on the coal-measure mudstone.In addition,the yield ratios,A/D,MA/MD,DMA/DMD and As/Ds,also have good relationships with maturity during the pyrolysis of the coal-measure mudstone.
