Abstract:

Based on material balance principle and hydrocarbon expulsion threshold theory,the hydrocarbon expulsion characteristics and history can be studied exactly by using the hydrocarbon-generation potential method.The problems are discussed which can be easily neglected during the process of study by introducing the calculation principle and steps of hydrocarbon-generated potential method.The problems are that firstly,due to the heterogeneous distribution of kerogen in source rocks,an average value of hydrocarbongenerated index is used to stand for hydrocarbon-generation index in the corresponding depth,secondly,the data should be "Depth homing" before setting up the hydrocarbon expulsion model in a erosion area,thirdly,hydrocarbon expulsion rate of source rocks is kept as a constant value during erosion stage,which needs to be rectified,and lastly,the erosion thickness should be studied before calculating the effective thickness of source rocks.

Key words: hydrocarbon expulsion threshold, hydrocarbon-generation potential method, hydrocarbon expulsion characteristics, erosion, effective thickness
