Hydrocarbon-bearing sulphate-polymetallic deposits at the Colipilli area, Neuquén Basin, Argentina: Implications in the petroleum system modeling

This work deals with the hydrocarbon-bearing barite-polymetallic mineralizations of the Colipilli area, located in the western sector of the Agrio Fold and Thrust Belt (Neuqu´en Basin, Argentina). The mineralizations consist of bed- and vein-type deposits mainly composed of barite (barite96.99%–cele...

The mineralizations consist of bed- and vein-type deposits mainly composed of barite (barite96.99%–celestine2.93%) with minor amounts of Feoxyhydroxides and sulfides. The bed-type deposits have zebra texture and are emplaced along the contact between Late Cretaceous–Paleocene igneous rocks (Naunauco Group) and their Early Cretaceous sedimentary host rocks (e.g., Huitrín Formation). In contrast, the vein-type deposits have breccia texture and are crosscutting the Mulichinco, Agrio and Huitrín formations or the andesitic/dioritic stocks and sills of the Naunauco Group.

Fluorescence techniques with UV incident light and Raman spectroscopy allowed FI from completely aqueous to completely organic, including all the intermediate terms, to be identified. The organic FI have blue fluorescence and contain liquid hydrocarbons. The blue fluorescence is correlated with medium to high API gravity values (ca. 40◦), indicating the presence of light hydrocarbons of advanced maturity related with the window for the generation of liquid/gaseous hydrocarbons. Microthermometry studies carried out on aqueous FI revealed that vein-type deposits formed at higher temperatures and salinities (249.7 ◦C and 0.5–9.3 wt % NaCl equivalent) than bed-type deposits (162.2 ◦C and 0.2–7.2 wt % NaCl equivalent). The heat influx provided by the Late Cretaceous– Paleocene magmatism promoted the circulation of inorganic and organic fluids of connate origin and the leaching of metallic and non-metallic elements from the sedimentary pile. During its crystallization, barite trapped fluids with variable hydrocarbon contents. The thermal anomaly associated with the magmatic activity could also have contributed with the maturation of the nearby source rocks and to the development of an atypical petroleum system.
