The authors found that gas generated from the same source rocks was highin benzene and cyclohexane contents and had light carbon isotope compositions. In this study, a series of thermalsimulations of gas generations on source rock with/without evaporites (such as carbonate, gypsum, and sodium chlo-rite, respectively), were conducted. It was found that the gypsum played an important role on the catalyzsis of gasgeneration in the thermal simulations. Compositions of the gaseous hydrocarbons generated from source rocks withevaporites are very similar to those of natural gases discovered from northern Dongying Depression. Meanwhile, inthe thermal simulations, it was found that the carbon isotopic compositions of gascous hydrocarbons generated fromsource rocks with evaporites are lighter than those of the gases from source rocks without evaporites. Therefore, it isconcluded that natural gases discovered from northem Dongying Depression are the product of interaction betweensource rocks and evaporites (especially gypsum) of the saline facies.Key words sal-lake facies; source rock; evaporite; interaction; gaseous hydrocarbon generationtype-III organic matter or source rocks of rather high1 Introductionmaturity (Dai Jinxin et al, 1992; Thopson, 1983; HuTilin et al., 1990; Tilley and Muehlenbachs, 2006).In recent years, a great amount of natural gas hasMeanwhile, methane in the gases found in northembeen produced from exploring wells drilled in sandyDongying Depression shows light carbon isotopicreservoirs at the depth of 4375- 4620 m in the Fourthcompositions (-47%0- -49%0) as compared with gasesMember of the Shahejie Formation (Esa) in northemfound in other areas, which indicates the maturity ofDongying Depression (Li Junliang, 2007), which in-the gases is much lower than the saline source rocksdicates that great discovery of deep oil/gas exploration(Linda et al., 2005).
