Abstract: Crude oils in different production stages are analyzed by organic geochemical technology. The oils from Donghe,Tazhong and Lunnan oil field in Tarim basin are collected from different stages in the process of production. In addition, the variation rule of crude oil components is studied and the internal relations between crude oil components and production stages are also investigated. The experiment results indicate that the saturate/aromatics ratio show decreasing trend with production; There is a direct relationship between saturate and NSO + asphaltene with production. The carbon number range or the peak carbon number of normal alkanes in crude oils shift backuard and the light/heavy hydrocarbons ratio show decreasing trendtion.During oil recovery,polar components including various heteroatom-bearing functional groups with basic or acidic property tend to reduce in crude oil Therefore, this investigation has practice significance in researching expelled mechanics from microcosmic points of view, evaluating wetting alteration in crude oils and increasing production ratio of crude oils.
