Popis: Organic carbon isotopic analysis is a significant approach for oil-source correlation, yet organic carbon isotopic behavior during oil expulsion from saline lacustrine source rocks is not well constrained, and this hinders its wide application for fingerprinting oils generated by saline lacustrine source rock. To resolve this puzzle, semiclosed hydrous pyrolysis was conducted on typical saline lacustrine source rocks from the Qianjiang Formation (type I kerogen) and Xingouzui Formation (type II kerogen) sampled in the Jianghan Basin, China, under high-temperature high-pressure conditions (T = 275℃–400℃; P = 65–125 MPa). Experimental results show that there is minor carbon isotopic fractionation (
