Abstract

ESR spectra of asphaltenes from a series of crude oils from the Devonian and Carboniferous deposits of the South-Tatar Dome in Tatarstan with low vanadium content and of vanadiferous crude oils from deposits of the Melekess depression in Tatarstan are analyzed. For asphaltenes from Devonian oils, the correlation between the concentrations of stable free radicals (SFR) and vanadyl complexes (VCs) has direct trend, whereas for asphaltenes from Carboniferous oils the trend is inverse. Taking into account the previously revealed inverse trend for asphaltenes of vanadium-enriched highly viscous crude oils [1], the opposite trends in SFR–VC correlations (direct and inverse) suggest different structures of asphaltene molecules in oils with different vanadium content and, correspondingly, different sources and conditions of the formation of oil deposits. Specific features of the ESR characteristics of asphaltenes of core and extractable oils and of oils from Devonian and Carboniferous deposits are revealed.
