Crude oils geochemistry depended specific properties, metalloporphyrins, bulk compositions, and n-alkanes of some Egyptian oils in the Gulf of Suez, Egypt
The geochemical analyses of Specific gravity (API), sulfur content, nickel and vanadium, porphyrins, bulk compositions, and saturated fraction obtained from gas chromatography have been studied with the aim of throwing more light on the geochemical aspects of the crude oil formation, migration, and maturation. Seven samples were collected from Sudr, October, GS-283, Belayim land, Belayim marine, Kareem, and July oilfields in the Gulf of Suez. These samples are representative for the producing horizon zones of Rudeis and Nuhkul formations of Middle-Lower Miocene age ranging in depths from 1344 to 3558 m. The studied crude oils are classified into heavy and/or intermediate oils. The crude oils have high concentrations of nickel and vanadium contents. Vanadyl porphyrins indicate mature to moderately mature oils. A gross composition reveals marine organic sources. The n-alkanes and isoprenoids in crude oils are derived from marine organic matter, deposited under anoxic/hypersaline to oxic or carbonate environments associated with evaporate and carbonate depositional environment.
