The Fushan sag is an important petroleum-bearing unit in the Beibuwan Basin, South China Sea. However, genetic relationship between oil and source rocks has not been well understood. In this work, 43 mudstone samples and 22 crude oil samples in the sag were collected for molecular geochemical and isotopic analyses to investigate this relationship. The geochemical data shows that the mudstones in Liushagang formation have poor to good oil generation potential with TOC ranging from 0.45 to 2.19 wt% and the kerogen is mainly type II. Two types of crude oils were identified in this study. The first type of Group A oils including the subgroup A(1) and subgroup A(2) has the characteristics of low maturity with low saturated hydrocarbon content and lighter delta C-13 values in the Huachang uplift. The source rocks for the Group A oils were deposited under suboxic to oxic and freshwater environment containing more terrestrial higher plant and less angiosperm. The subgroup A(1) oils in Els(1)(1) reservoirs are separated from subgroup A(2) in the Els(1)(2) reservoirs by relatively lower maturity. The subgroup A(1) and subgroup A(2) oils are closely related to the Els1 to Els(1)(2) and Els(2)(1) to Els(2)(1) source rocks, respectively. While the second type of oils including Group B and Group C oils has higher level of maturity with higher saturated hydrocarbon content and heavier delta C-13 values. The source rocks of Group B oils were deposited in a freshwater environment with lower salinity, and more angiosperms and terrestrial higher plants input than those of Group C oils. Two subgroups are divided in the Group B oils, of which subgroup B-1 oils have higher maturity and their source rocks were deposited in lower salinity with more terrestrial higher plant input than that of subgroup B-2 oils. The subgroup B1 oils occurring in the Els(3)(1) reservoirs from the Huachang uplift are likely related to Els(3)(1) source rocks, while subgroup B-2 oils in the Els(2)(2) reservoirs from the southern slope area of the Bailian subsag is linked with mixed source of Els(2)(2) and Els(3)(1) mudstones. The Group C oils are distributed in Els(2)(2) and Els(3)(1) reservoirs in the Huachang uplift and their oil source are from Els(3)(2) mudstones. Two petroleum plays are likely divided by the mfs in Els(2) based on the oil-source correlation in the sag. Group B and Group C oils belong to the lower play, and Group A oils only occur in the upper play. The distribution and accumulation of different groups of oils are mainly controlled by the special two-layered tectonostratigraphic framework and the transport ability of fault zone in the sag. This study clarifies the types of oils, as well as the oil-source correlation and the spatial distribution of different groups of oils. The results could benefit the further petroleum exploration and resource evaluation in the sag.
