Abstract

Nitrogen,like carbon and oxygen,is one of important elements in Organic matt er cor molecule In the oil an d gas-bearing rocks, with the maturation and formation of into hydrocarbon from organic matters, nitrogen is released into pore fluids to form NH⁺₄ and interact s w ith diagenetic minerals(e.g.authigenic clay minerals). The most important mechan ism that is NH⁺₄ substitutes for K⁺ in interlayer sites of clay minerals ( e.g. illite, ilite/smectite) and forms the NH₄-bearing minerals. The significant ch anges of the geochemical properties of nitrogen have taken place during the diag enetic process. The concentrations of fixed-NH₄ in the NH₄-bearing minerals is closely related to maturation of organic matter and mig ration of hydrocarbon. The fixed-NH₄ concentration of authigenic clay minerals increase gradually with the organic maturation. The diagenetic clay minerals al ong the hydrocarbon migration pathways were able to “catch” more NH⁺₄ duri ng hydrocarbon migration and accumulation, and thus its fixed-NH₄ concentration is higher than other places.By means of many studies of the nitrogen lithogeochem isty and its influenced factors during diagenesis and hydrocarbon formation, migrati on as well as accumulaton, it shows that the new and potential use of fixed-NH₄ co ncentration as an indicator of organic maturity and hydrocarbon migration pathways.
