Abstract
Lipid biomarker parameters and molecular carbon isotope compositions of n-alkanes were used as tracers to determine geochemical behavior of aliphatic hydrocarbons during their migration from two sequences of source rock-type mudstones (4050.8-4062.2 and 4067.4-4073 m depth, respectively) to the interbedded reservoir sandstones (4062.6-4066.3 m depth) in the Qikou Sag, Bohai Bay Basin, eastern China. Abnormally high values of the production index (0.69-0.90) and total extract/total organic carbon (TOC) ratios (0.53-1.21) in the sandstone samples indicated that the hydrocarbons in the sandstones were not produced in situ but migrated from the adjoining mudstones. A comparison of values in lipid biomarker parameters (oleanane index, gammacerane index, C23 tricyclic terpane/C30 alpha beta-hopane, and C29/C27 alpha alpha alpha 20R sterane ratios) in the sandstone with the mudstone samples indicated steroids and hopanoids in the upper section of the sandstone layer (4062.6-4065.2 m depth) were transported from the overlying mudstones, while those in the lower sandstone layer (4066.3 m depth) were transported from the underlying mudstones. Molecular carbon isotope data suggest that all n-alkanes in the upper section of the sandstone layer were transported from the overlying mudstones. However, in the lower sandstone layer, most of the C15-C17 n-alkanes were transported from the overlying mudstones, while the C18-C31 n-alkanes were transported mainly from the underlying mudstones. These combined results suggest the short-chain n-alkanes (C18) and steroids/hopanoids may have been expelled in a separate oil phase.

- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
