초록

근원암으로부터 탄화수소가 생성되고 배출되는 시기는 석유시스템 모델링을 이용하여 분지의 지사를 복원함으로써 평가할 수 있다. 미국 북서부 오레곤주에 위치한 타이분지는 탄화수소 생성 가능성이 높은 지역이다. 본 연구에서는 남부타이분지에 대한 구조 층서적 관점에서의 분지 진화와 열역사 및 매몰사를 석유시스템 모델링의 수치모델을 사용하여 복원, 시뮬레이션 하였다. 분지 내 탄화수소 생성과 배출을 이해하기 위해 잠재 근원암에 대한 유기 지화학적 평가와 가능한 석유시스템을 분석하였다. 유기 지화학 자료를 통해 미분화된 움콰 그룹, 클라마스산의 이암층, Remote Member와 Coquille River Member에 협재된 탄층과 탄질 이암이 분지 내 가스를 생성시킬 수 있는 잠재력이 큰 근원암임을 알 수 있다. 남부 타이분지의 상대적으로 높은 열적 성숙도가 쿠스베이 퇴적층의 하중 압력에 의한 매몰과 연관됨을 지시하여 준다. 서부 캐스케이드흐로부터 관입에 의한 열 유입 또한 분지의 높은 열적 성숙도에 영향을 미친다. 이러한 분석을 바탕으로 근원암의 성숙과 탄화수소 생성, 및 배출이 석유시스템 모델을 통해 평가되어졌다. 모델링 결과는 모든 잠재 근원암으로부터 탄화수소가 생성은 되었으나 오직 Remote Member에서만 배출이 일어났음을 알려준다.

The timing of hydrocarbon generation and expulsion from source rocks can be evaluated by reconstructing the geohistory of the basin using petroleum system modeling. The Tyee basin is generally considered having a high hydrocarbon generation potential For the southern part of the basin, the basin evolution from a structural and stratigraphic points of view, the thermal history, and the burial history were reconstructed and simulated using numerical tools of basin modeling. An evaluation of organic geochemistry for the potential source rocks and the possible petroleum systems were analysed to improve the understanding of the hydrocarbon charge of the basin. Organic geochemical data indicate that the undifferentiated Umpqua Group, mudstones of the Klamath Mountains, and coals and carbonaceous mudstones in the Remote Member and the Coquille River Member are the most potential gas-prone source rocks in the basin. The relatively high maturity of the southern Tyee basin is related to deep burial resulting from loading by the Coos bay strata. And the heating by intrusion from the western Cascade arc also affects to the high maturity of the basin. The maturation of source rocks, the hydrocarbon generation and expulsion were evaluated by means of basin modeling. The modeling results reveal that the hydrocarbon was generated in all potential source rocks and an expulsion only occurred from the Remote Member.
