Chemically Active Elements of Reservoir Quartz Cement Trace Hydrocarbon Migration in the Mahu Sag, Junggar Basin, NW China by Linjun Huang, Yin Liu, Baoli Bian, Yongping Ma, Hailei Liu, Juanjuan Guo, Jian Cao

“…Whole-rock geochemical analysis showed that decreasing contents of some elements may reflect the direction of hydrocarbon-bearing fluid migration and can be monitored with three geochemical proxies, which are the MnO contents and MnO/Zr and Y/Ho ratios. Our data provide new constraints on fluid-rock interactions in petroleum reservoirs and have implications for using inorganic geochemical methods to trace hydrocarbon migration.…”
