MATURE ZONE OF ORGANIC MATTER AND OIL AND GAS PROCESS OF CUU LONG BASIN

Abstract

Geochemical parameters used popularly to define the level of maturation of organic matter are a vitrinite reflectance % Ro) combined with Tmax value defined at the peak Pic S2 by Pyrolysis (Rock-Eval). Moreover, model TTI method of Lopatin and Waple is applied to define the level of maturation of organic matter at any point where there is no well. By this way, mature process of organic matter will be estimated generally for a whole of study area. Results are that organic matters of lower Oligocene and upper Eocene formation and the bottom of upper Oligocene formation provide essentially oil and gas of Cuu Long basin. The bottom of lower Oligocene and the top of Eocene formation supplement wet and Condensat. Eocene formation at the depressions especially in the east and north BachHo is the dry gas. Oil and gas generated and migrated into traps occurred from early Miocene, but very intensively generated and migrated in period of Pliocene + Quaternary times. At the same time, the traps always are supplemented the wet gas, condensate and dry gas from Eocene formation.
