Migration pathways and distances of the oils in reservoir are thought to affect the distri-bution of pyrrolic compounds such as carbazole,its alkyl derivatives(alkylated carbazoles)and benzo-carbazoles,although other factors,including maturity and depositional environments may also affect the distribution of these organic nitrogen compounds.In this study,14 oil samples produced from con-ventional reservoirs in Pauls Valley,south Oklahoma were investigated using organic geochemical tech-niques.The sterane and hopane fingerprints suggest that most of the oils were sourced from the Devo-nian Woodford shale.Maturity parameters consistently indicate that the maturity level of the studied samples are all of similar maturity(Rc=~0.7% ),suggesting the distribution of the organic nitrogen or-ganic compounds is possibly reflecting variations in relative migration distances.The distribution of al-kylcarbazoles revealed a preferential enrichment during migration,with the nitrogen-shielded alkylcar-bazole tending to be enriched relative to the nitrogen-semi-shielded alkylcarbozoles particularly in oils produced close to the Arbuckle uplift to the east.Correspondingly,another family of pyrrolic com-pounds,benzocarbazoles,whose distributions also indicated that the Pauls Valley Woodford oils came from deeper part of the Anadarko Basin as the benzo-[a]/([a]+[c])-carbazole ratios decrease eastwards.In more specific migration systems,although the pyrrolic compound indicators are potentially dis-turbed by the structural complexes,the general migration directions suggest that the studied oils in Pauls Valley Hunton uplift were sourced from the deep basin area,and migrate upwards in porous sedi-ments due to the buoyancy.This study investigates the feasibility of using pyrrolic compounds to esti-mate relative migration distances and will aid in the interpretation of migration history by using the distribution of carbazole,alkylated carbazoles,benzocarbazoles isomers in the Anadarko and Ardmore Basin petroleum systems.
