Abstract: The heavy oil in the western Lunnan area is characterized by low saturated hydrocarbon or low saturated hydrocarbon to aromatic hydrocarbon ratio, high content of wax and high colloid and asphaltene, showing that the oil experienced diffusion of light hydrocarbons and degradation of microorganism. It is concluded that the oil in this area is the mixed oil derived from Middle-Lower Cambrian and Middle-Lower Ordovician source rocks based on the oil biomarkers and reservoir bitumen analysis. According to the source rock development and hydrocarbon filling periods, it could also get the same conclusion that the oil in Ordovician buried hill reservoir is filled by hydrocarbons generated mainly from Middle-Lower Cambrian and Middle-Lower Ordovician source rocks.

Key words: source rock, biomarker, reservoir bitumen, hydrocarbon source, Tabei uplift
