SUMMARY
Geochemical analyses of cuttingsin
the Federal 34D-9
well
indicate
that only theCretaceous section is capable of hydrocarbongeneration.
A l l of the samples analyzed from deeper parts of the section penetrated
areorganicleanandareconsideredtobe.nonsourcesformipatable
amounts of oil or gas.
Wet and dry gas should be the primary hydrocarbons generated from Cretaceous source beds; however,maturitydeterminations
indicate that the
Cretaceoussection is not sufficientlymaturefor
peak wet gasgeneration. No oil sourcebeds wereidentified by this study. Some aigrated
gas appears to be present in the lowermost part of the Cretacwls s e e
tion.

Geochemical analysis of cannedcuttings from the Champlin, #1 Federal

The Lower Jurassic and Carboniferous samples analyzed are all rated as
nonsource rocks because of very low organic carbon content.
ORGANICMATTERTYPE
The type of organic matter present, and hence
its capability to generate oil or gas, was determined b y a number of techniques including vi-
sual examination with reflected light microscopy and Rock-Eva1 pyrolysis. Supportingevidence of organicmattertype

The
same arguments
pertaining
to
the
strengths and weaknesses of optical versus chemical and physical methods of kerogen type analysis, can be applied here as
well.
Because of the abundance of terrestrial kerogen in most of the samples
analysed,vitrinitereflectancedata
are generallyvery good a r d prcvide the most reliable
maturity
indicator
for
the
subject
well.
Strong, unimodal, reflectance histograms were obtained on some samples,
resulting in a reasonably good maturationprofile for the well (Figure
4).
The only significant problems are high rank, recycled organic
matter in some samples, semifusinite, and minor caving.
The

above
about
1,782 feet is thermally immature (less

0.6 Ro) and

ROCK-EVALPYROLYSISDATA
Rock-Eval dataareexpressed
as mg/g of rockandinclude
four basic
parameters: 1) SI representsthequantity
of freehydrocarbonspresent in therockand
is roughlyanalogoustothesolventextractable
of hyportion of theorganic matter: 2) 5 2 represents thequantity
drocarbons released by the kerogen in the sample during pyrolysis; 3)
S 3 is related to the amount of oxygen present in the kerogen:
and 4)
T-max is the temperature at which the maximum rate of genemtion (of
the S2 peak)occursand
can be usedas an estimate of therual matu-
rity.
In addition,theratio
S 2 / S 3 providesageneralindication
of kerogenquality(type)andrevealswhether
oil or gas. is likely to be
generated.
The
ratio
S l / ( S l + S 2 ) , or the
productivity
irdex,
is
anindication of therelative amount of freehydrocarbons (in place or
migrated) present in the sample. Hydrogen and oxygen index values
are
(S3
expressed as tag of hydrocarbons (S2 peak) or carbondiovide
peak) per gram of organic carbon. When plotted against each other on a
van Krevelen-type diagram, information on kerogen type and matuity can
be obtained.

Samples
collected
in sealed cans are analyzed
for
light
end
('21C6')
components by headspacegas
or cuttingsgaschromatogra?hy.
To provide an improvedintegration
of the Cg+ components abackflush
technique
is employed resulting in the c6+ peak elrting
first. Theamounts of the individual gas components are computed in
parts per million by multiplying the integrated peak areas for each by
response factors determined from a standard gas. These values are then
divided by the headspace volume to obtain the amounts of each gas component in microliters as reported in the data tables.

A weighed amount of each sample is pulverized and soxhlet extracted for
18 hours with dichloromethanetoobtainthetotaI
amount of extractable
material.Theextract
is first treated with hexane in orderto remove
the insolubleasphaltenes.Theprecipitate
is considered to be asphaltenes'andtheweight
is recorded.Thehexanesolublefraction
is then
separatedintosaturates.aromatics,and
NSO compounds by successive
on a silica-almina
elutions with hexane, benzene, and benzene-methanol
chromatographic column. Thefunctionalgroups,includingasphaltanes,
are weighed andexpressedasthetotalextractinpartsper
million of
the ,original sampleweight.
Each functionalgroup is also expressed as
a normalized weight per cent of the total extract.
The satuFate fraction is analyzed using gas chromatographic techrjques
separate
to
and
identify
components in
the
C15 to C40 range.
Thesestraight chainparaffins(n-alkanes)are
normalized to 100% and
thepercent
of each component is plotted on a bargraph.
Specific
pristane (Pr) andphytane(Ph)ratiosare
also calculated and phtted.
