摘要
To examine the thermal evolution of and the influence of organo-clay interaction on organic matter bound by clay minerals in muddy source rocks,the authors studied the <2 μm particle-size fractions extracted from hydrocarbon source rocks in Neocene,Jiyang Depression,eastern China,using infra-red emission spectroscopy(IES).The results show that the vibration peaks of methylene and methyl representing aliphatic chain decrease with the increasing of temperature,and lateral chains are easily to subject to oxidation than main chains.IES study reveals that organic matter bound by clay minerals generates hydrocarbon mainly through aromatization of aliphatic compound,which is a quite useful method for source rocks thermal evolution study.
