THE STUDY OF BITUMINOUS ROCKS BY ELECTRON PARAMAGNETIC RESONANCE N.M.Khasanova, N.M.Nizamutdinov, R.A.Khasanov, A.L.Zakharchenko, L.M.Sitdikova, E.U.Sidorova, V.G.Izotov Kazan Federal University, Institute of Geology and Petroleum Technology, Kazan, RUSSIA E-mail: [email protected] It is known that the oil reservoir is a complex heterogeneous mineral-organic system, located in the natural conditions of physical and chemical equilibrium. The introduction of active impact techniques in the field, in particular thermal and chemical, of course is penalized physical and chemical properties of the reservoir and mainly its elemental composition. To studying of dynamics of element structure and organic substance of bituminous layer traditional methods and the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) devoted the presented work. In the period 1985-1990 in the laboratory of physics of minerals Kazan University headed by Professor VM Vinokurov methods have been developed of correlation of coeval deposits (especially "dumb" in paleontological terms) based on the study of paramagnetic properties of rocks using the technique of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) [1-2]. The technique is based on the fact that metamorphism of carbonate rocks, buried organic matter and epibitumov at fluctuations of erosion basis and the level of water contact leads to a change in the state of organic and mineral matter of rocks, which can be easily installed in the EPR studies. Study of the effects of thermal and radiation impact on the rock minerals represents also of practical interest to obtain information about their genesis and evolution. The energy of these effects causes the activation of the physic-chemical reactions in the formation of subsequent stages of metamorphism, metasomatic. The main tasks of the research were as follows: - Preparation of samples; Define the material composition of the traditional methods; -record EPR spectra of initial samples in special scanning range of the magnetic field; - Determination of the material composition and organic matter at fixed lines of the EPR; - Analysis of changes in the distribution of the reference lines in the sequence and interaction of the material composition with OM; - Separation of hydrocarbons from mineral components with the subsequent control of the EPR spectra; - Thermochemical treatment of the mineral component to determine the potential reserves of OM. OBJECT AND RESEARCH METHODS As a result, visual research of the bituminous core section of the well was determined belonging model samples the following main 3 types of rocks: “Lingala clay”- siltstone rocks clay packs (top of the reservoir) – sample №1, sandstone productive strata – three samples №2-4 and clay-sand pack (outsole collectors) – sample №5. For the study of rock samples by EPR the automated spectrometer the PS 100.X (Minsk, "Adani") is used. Device measuring EPR spectra is designed for recording the EPR spectra of solids and liquids in the range of electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength of 3 cm and to define the parameters of these spectra. The spectrometer is a compact instrument personal use with a high level of automation, is controlled by the PC. Standard quartz ampoule with the investigated linkage crushed in an agate mortar rock sample is placed in a microwave resonator. In the resonator is fixed in position in a particular orientation relative to the static magnetic field specially selected single crystal of corundum (Al2O3) with impurity ions Cr3 + as an internal standard. Thermal treatment was performed in an electric furnace type SUOL in a quartz tube to the vapor tube to change the atmosphere annealing to prevent the combustion of organic matter. EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS The original EPR spectra of model samples were obtained by scanning the magnetic field in the range of 3600 and 900 gauss at a modulation amplitude of 200 mG (Fig. 1 a, b), and 50 G at a modulation amplitude of 60 and 10 mG (Fig. 1 c, d). Fig.1. EPR spectra scanning of core samples №1-5 in the following ranges: a) 400 – 4000 G; b) 280 – 3750 G; c) 3235 – 3285 G with an amplitude modulation of 60 mG; d) 50 G with an amplitude modulation 10 mG. The material composition of carbonates is determined by characteristic spectra of Mn2 + ions in the structure of dolomite (sample 1) and calcite (samples 2-5). Presence of quartz minerals in rocks by E’ center are determined. In bituminous rock samples (2-4) line is observed the EPR spectrum of vanadyl ions VO2+ associated with porphyrin species and intense line R free radical organic matter (Fig. 1). Parameters of paramagnetic centers are presented in the table. Part of the rock powder was placed in weighing bottles (with ground covers) with chloroform solution during one day. By this procedure the mineral part of the rock, characterized by the EPR spectrum of Mn2+ ion and ion-radical SO3- in carbonates and E 'in quartz, and a number of coal organic matter were separated from the bituminous part (Fig. 2a). The carbonates were extracted from rocks with weak solution HCl. Then only lines EPR spectra of E' center and the organic radicals R were recorded (Fig. 2b). After thermal treatment of mineral rock for 30 min at 350 0C newly formed radical OM line C350 appeared in the ESR spectrum (Fig. 3). This fact is indicative of the presence of planttype of organic matter and a source of hydrocarbon reserves (table). Fig. 2. EPR spectrum in radical region (scanning 70 G): a) rocks after extraction of hydrocarbons by chloroform; b) rock mineral part after treatment with a weak solution of hydrochloric acid.

The EPR spectrum of the newly formed radical OM during heat treatment at 350 0С 1. EPR spectra of Mn2+ ions are observed in the carbonates. EPR spectra of Mn2+ions are not recorded after treatment breed weak hydrochloric acid. 2. The distribution of Mn2+ ions in the sequence is patchy. In bituminous thickness the intensity decrease of the EPR signal of the manganese ions is observed as compared to the underlying and overlying rocks. It is known that during the oil migration occurs recrystallization of calcite and removal of manganese ions [3]. 3. The EPR spectra of vanadyl VO2+ ions are superimposed on the Mn2+. It is necessary to carry out extraction by organic solvents (chloroform, etc.). 4. Along the borehole observed EPR spectra of radical ions E 'quartz with a predominance of their content in the top and base. This suggests that the radiation source is in the rock itself potassium feldspar. 5. Organic matter of the coal series is mainly in the roof and part of the base, bituminous hydrocarbons in sandstone. Refrences in a hydrogen atmosphere. 1.
