Geochemical Characteristics of Natural Gas and Hydrocarbon Charge History in the Western Qaidam Basin, Northwest China

Figure 8

Relationship between generation temperature of major reservoired hydrocarbons (GTMRH) and peaks of homogenization temperature in different oil fields in the western Qaidam Basin. Supplementary GTMRH data for the Qigequan, Hongliuquan, Shizigou, Huatugou, Youyuangou, Gasikule, and Yuejinerhao oil fields are from Zhu et al. [31]. Peak homogenous temperature of fluid inclusion data for the Qigequan and Hongliuquan fields are from Fu et al. [1], Shizigou is from Li et al. [25], Huatugou is from Liu et al. [26], Gasikule and Nanyishan are from Li et al. [27], Yingdong is from Sui et al. [28], Zhahaquan is from Wang et al. [29], and Kunbei is from Chen et al. [30]. Solid border of the peak homogenous temperature is presented in published articles; the dotted border peak is based on latest studies.
