Abstract: In order to study the characteristics of source rocks and evaluate their hydrocarbon generating potential in northern Guaizihu Sag, geochemical tests of mudstone in the whole section of exploration wells were carried out to explore the differential genesis of source rocks in the northern and central parts, and oil source conditions for hydrocarbon accumulation in the study area were evaluated. The results show that: (1) the potential source rocks in the study area are mainly developed in Cretaceous Suhongtu Formation, the third and second members of Bayingebi Formation. The abundance of organic matter in mudstone is generally low, but there are “sweet spots” in some well sections. The type of organic matter is mainly type Ⅲ, and the source rocks have reached mature to over-mature thermal evolution stage. (2) Compared with the central part of Guaizihu Sag, the conditions of source rocks in the northern part are obviously worse, which may be controlled by the differences in the formation environment and source input caused by the differences in boundary fault activity and sag structure. (3) The lower limit of TOC content of effective source rocks in the study area is greater than 1.35%. The effective source rock area in well area W1-W2 is relatively large, and the area of source rocks with thickness greater than 20 m is about 133 km2. The discovery of gas-bearing layer and reservoir bitumen in well W2 shows that the source rocks in the study area have certain hydrocarbon generation potential and has a history of hydrocarbon accumulation. The research results can provide a basis for the next exploration decision-making in Guaizihu Sag.

Key words: hydrocarbon source rock characteristics, hydrocarbon generation potential, Cretaceous, northern Guaizihu Sag, Yingen-Ejinaqi Basin
