A significant amount of hydrocarbon have been discovered in the Dongying Formation of the Qingyuan Tectonic Belt of the Baoding Sag, Jizhong Depression, yet the distribution of the main source rocks remains unclear. Through the analysis of geochemical characteristics of the crude oils by conventional geochemical methods and negative ESI FT-ICR MS, the hydrocarbon sources and migration pathways was traced and the accumulation model was clarified. The crude oils in the Qingyuan Tectonic Belt were classified as heavy oil and viscous oil, with some crude oils having undergone secondary processes such as biodegradation. The relatively high content of N1 compounds in the crude oils had good comparability with deep source rocks. The crude oils mainly came from the mixed contribution of the source rocks from the first member of the Shahejie Formation (Es1) in the middle and south of the Lixian Slope and the adjacent sub-sag, and most of the oil samples contain more than 30% mature crude oil originating from the southern part of the Lixian Slope and the Suning-Hejian Sub-Sag. Based on relevant parameters such as C29Ts/C30 hopane, C29 sterane ααα20S/(S+R), 4-/1-MDBT (methyldibenzothiophene) and N1 compounds maturity identification diagram, it was concluded that the maturity of the crude oils in the Qingyuan Tectonic Belt were higher than that in the middle to the upper part of the Lixian Slope, lower than that in the south of the Lixian Slope and adjacent sub-sag, with the mature crude oil filled from the southwest direction of the Qingyuan Tectonic Belt. The oil-mixing model was concluded that the hydrocarbon from the same source rocks with different thermal evolution degrees were mixed during the same period of migration, and related studies have also improved the understanding of the mechanism of the less mature oil reservoir formation.
