摘要
Based on analyses of He, Ne and Ar isotopes of crude oil samples from the Liaohe Basin, the authors have reached the following conclusions: 1)the 3He/4He(Rc) values of the crude oil samples in the study area are distributed in the range of 2.61×10-6-3.50×10-6, with an average of 3.06×10-6 and in an order of 10-6, showing characteristics of the mantle-derived H elium input, whereas the percentages of the mantle-derived helium are distributed between 20.13% and 30.24%, showing the existence of deep faults that cut into the mantle in the study area; 2)the geothermal flow values calculated based on 3He/4He ratios range from 75.3 to 77.3 mW/m2, with an average of 6.4 mW/m2, which is higher than the average values of the basins in central and western China, and such a condition is beneficial for the generation of hydrocarbon; 3)the above results show that the application of the research method of 3He/4He values in crude oil can provide much information for inferring the sources of natural gas and oil, the tectonic backgrounds and the geothermal flow values.
