Abstract: Oil source of marine crude oils from Tarim Basin is still disputed; However, the research on the reservoir bitumen may provide a new evidence to elucidate oil source. Geochemical characteristics of different strata reservoir bitumen from Well Zhong1 in Katake uplift are discussed here in detail. Pr/Ph ratios of reservoir bitumens from Well Zhong 1 range from 1.14 to 1.39, CPI ratios from 1.01 to 1.08 which indicate no odd even predominance of normal alkanes, OEP ratios from 0.98 to 1.05. The content of gammacerane and C28 sterane of reservoir bitumens from Well Zhong 1 is low, while dibenzothiophene series are abundant. Sterane isomerization maturity parameter and Ts/Ts+Tm ratio indicate that the degree of maturity of reservoir bitumen from
Well Zhong1 is mature to high mature. Based on biomarker distribution difference, it is concluded that reservoir bitumen from Well Zhong1 of which molecular parameters are contrary to those in Cambrian oil from Well Tadong 2 originated from the upper Ordovician source rock.
