摘要

天然气甲烷碳同位素动力学模拟是在热模拟实验的基础上对甲烷碳同位素值进行数字模拟的一种研究方法。它在石油、天然气地球化学中具有广阔的应用前景:模拟甲烷碳同位素的整个演化趋势,模拟天然气成藏,进行精确的气源对比。分析了国外几个典型的甲烷碳同位素动力学模型,对各模型的特点和优缺点进行了简要的评述,并认识到Cramer 3是目前对实验数据模拟效果最好、适用范围最宽的一个模型。在此基础上,结合一些研究实例,探讨了天然气甲烷碳同位素动力学研究的发展方向。

Abstract

    Based on the pyrolysis, kinetic model of the stable carbon isotope of the methane is a very useful tool for studying nature gas generation and evaluation. Here, some models are reviewed and the advantage and shortcomings of these models are analyzed in brief. All these models can be divided into two types. One is based on Raleigh fractionation model. These models take the ratios of methane carbon isotope as results of fractionation. Calculating the fractionation factor is the important part in the models. The other model gives much more attentions to the results of the experiment. In the latter, methane is taken as two different products from different methane-generation groups. The kinetic parameters of every species (12C-and 13C- methane) is calculated, respectively, to simulate individual generation process. Then, the two species generation processes are combined to model the variance in methane isotope composition under geologicalcondition.
    From our own experimental, the carbon isotope values of methane degrading from coal shows very complex trend. At the stage of low temperature, the isotope values become lighter, then become heavier and heavier with temperature, which may be related to heterogeneous source rock. 
    For the study of kinetics model about methane carbon isotope ratios, some issues do pay to further study, including ①Common pyrolysis experiment on coal is carried out at the temperature range between 300 and 600℃. As shown above, it is not enough to evaluate the carbon isotope variance of coal-derived methane. ②Overpressure occurs almost in the two thirds of sediment basins on the Earth. It is worth to further study how to model the effect of pressure on methane carbon isotope ratios. ③Episodic expulsion of hydrocarbon has been commonly accepted under geological condition. However, the effect of episodic expulsion on the natural gas component and carbon isotope composition can't be understood clearly. It is necessary to further study.
