Abstract:
A simple classification of organic matter types is combined with models of sedimentary environments to predict generalized trends for the distribution of normal crudes, waxy crudes, and gas on passive margins. The sequence from continental rift to open-marine conditions produces an idealized vertical organic matter type profile that has abundant terrestrial organic matter deep and aquatic organic matter shallow. In contrast, the vertical organic matter type profile that develops in deltas prograding across continental margins is from aquatic organic matter deep to terrestrial organic matter shallow. These distributions of organic matter types exercise initial control on the location of gas, waxy crudes, and normal crudes. There may be subsequent modifications and edistributions due to migration, maturation and alteration.
