SUDA TPH (TOPLAM PETROL HİDROKARBONLARI) ANALİZİNİN PETROL VE DOĞALGAZ ARAMA AMAÇLI KULLANIMI: TÜRKİYE’DEN ÖNEMLİ İLK SONUÇLAR

Abstract

Hidrokarbon birikimleri ile ilişkide olan veya hidrokarbonlar tarafından kirletilmiş yüzey ve yeraltısuları tipik olarak yüksek miktarda hidrokarbon içerirler. Su numunelerinde TPH (Toplam Petrol Hidrokarbonları) değeri, yüzey ve yeraltısularının hidrokarbon kirliliğini belirlemek için kullanılan önemli bir parametredir. Bu çalışmada, suların hidrokarbon içeriğini tanımlayan TPH (toplam petrol hidrokarbonları) analizlerinin, petrol ve doğalgaz aramacılığında kullanılabilirliğinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla, Yüksekova (Hakkari), Ulukışla (Niğde) ve Hasanoğlan (Ankara) bölgeleri yeraltısularında yapılan TPH analizlerine ait sonuçlar, aynı bölgedeki klasik petrol jeokimyası analiz sonuçları ile karşılaştırılmıştır. İncelenen su numunelerinin tamamının TPH değerlerinin yeraltısuları için önerilen sınır değerden oldukça yüksek olduğu görülmüştür. Ayrıca, her üç bölge sularında da olgun doğal petrol kaynaklı n-alkan hidrokarbonları tespit edilmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda, numune alma işlemi oldukça basit, laboratuvar analizleri de çok kısa sürede sonuçlandırılan, düşük maliyetli, güvenilir ve tutarlı sonuçları olan rezervuar hedefli suda TPH (Toplam Petrol Hidrokarbonları) analizleri ile petrol ve doğalgaz birikimleri içeren havzaların belirlenebileceği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Diğer jeolojik ve jeofizik yöntemler ile birlikte kullanılması durumunda da, hidrokarbon arama riskini en aza indirmek ve ticari üretim yapılabilir yeni petrol ve doğalgaz yataklarının keşfedilebilmesi için pratik ve etkili bir araç olarak kullanılabilecektir. Ayrıca, sonuçlarının kontrol edilebilir ve kolay tekrarlanabilir olması nedeniyle, arama risk ve maliyetlerini büyük ölçüde azaltacağı düşünülmektedir.

USAGE OF TPH (TOTAL PETROLEUM HYDROCARBONS) IN WATER ANALYSIS FOR OIL AND GAS EXPLORATION: FIRST IMPORTANT RESULTS FROM TURKEY

Abstract

Surface waters and groundwaters associated with hydrocarbon accumulations or contaminated by hydrocarbons typically contain high amounts of hydrocarbons. TPH (Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons) value in water samples is an important parameter used to determine hydrocarbon contamination of surface waters and groundwaters. In this study, it is aimed to examine TPH analysis which describe the hydrocarbon content of waters in oil and gas exploration. For this purpose, the results of TPH analysis in water samples of Yüksekova (Hakkari), Ulukışla (Niğde) and Hasanoğlan (Ankara) regions are compared with the results of classical petroleum geochemistry analysis in the same regions. It has been found that the TPH values of all examined water samples are considerably higher than the recommended limit values for groundwaters. In addition, petrogenic (natural crude oil) mature n-alkane hydrocarbons have been determined in all three regional waters. As a result of the study, the sampling is very simple and the laboratory analysis have reached TPH in water analysis in reservoir-targeted with low cost, reliable and consistent results, which can be concluded in a very short time and the result that the basins containing oil and gas deposits can be determined. When used in together with other geological and geophysical exploration methods, it can also be used as a practical and effective tool to minimize the risk of hydrocarbon exploration and to discover new oil and gas deposits that are commercial production. In addition, all the petroleum geochemical analysis (gas chromatography, gas chromatography, mass spectroscopy, pyrolysis, etc.) on rock samples can also be applied successfully on hydrocarbon containing water samples.
