An Application of Aryl Isoprenoids in Indicating Sedimentary Environments

Li Zhenxi; Fan Pu; Li Jinggui; Zen Fangang

Aryl isoprenoid compounds in the aromatic fraction of sedimentary organic matter have been regarded as a biomarker that indicates a saline and strongly reducing sedimentary environment. On the basis of the detailed study on biomarker compounds in the aromatic fraction of 33 crude oils and source rocks collected from three typical terrestrial sedimentary basins in China, this paper discussed an aryl isoprenoid serial compound detected out from a Mesozoic crude oil in the Ordos basin and its geochemical significance in indicating sedimentary facies. It was proposed that this serial compound could also be an indicator to a brackish and reducing sedimentary environment.
