Abstract:

By the observation of the organic microscopic composition and scanning electron microscopy of the whole rock, the black shale of the Upper Ordovician Wufeng-Lower Silurian Longmaxi formation in Pengshui and its adjacent core wells Microscopic observation, classification and research of hydrocarbon-forming organism systems. It is found that the main hydrocarbon-forming organism types of shale in Pengshui and its adjacent areas are alginite(phytoplankton, suspected sources, benthic algae, etc.), animal debris(graptolite, radiolarian, chitinozoa and foraminifera) and bacteria, etc. Among them, the main hydrocarbon-forming organisms in organic-rich shale in Wufeng-Longmaxi formation(TOC≥2.0 %) are phytoplankton, suspected sources, bacteria, graptolite, etc., which have high abundance and differentiation. Hydrocarbon-forming organisms are the main source of oil and gas, meanwhile, the organic pores formed after its complex thermal evolution are the main carriers of shale gas occurrence. As there is a good coupling relationship between source and reservoir in the organic-rich shale section of Wufeng-Longmaxi formation, it is supposed to be the best geological sweet spot layer.

Key words: Pengshui and its adjacent area, Wufeng-Longmaxi formation, hydrocarbon-forming organism, combined characteristic, organic pore
