Abstract: Based on the fluorescence property of petroleum, the conventional fluorescence spectroscopy was adopted to quantitatively describe the fluorescence spectrum of oil inclusions. The hydrocarbon charging events can be identified conveniently and effectively based on its attribute parameters (e.g. main peak wave length (λmax), red-green entropy (Q) and QF535) and the relationship between λmax and QF535. 9 samples of fluid inclusions taken from Gaotaizi tight oil reservoir of Qingshankou Formation, Upper Cretaceous in Qijia area were tested. It is indicated that the oil inclusions of three fluorescent colors (i.e., yellow, yellow-green and blue-green) are developed in Gaotaizi oil reservoir. λmax and QF535 of oil inclusions in Gaotaizi oil reservoir are distributed in three regions. The QF535 decreases gradually from yellow fluorescence region to yellow-green fluorescence region and to blue-green fluorescence region, reflecting the gradual increase of the maturity of crude oil entrapped in oil inclusions. Then, combined with the studies on burial history, hydrocarbon generation history and homogeneous temperature of inclusions, it is concluded that Gaotaizi oil reservoir in Qijia area has experienced 3 hydrocarbon charging events in the period of geological history. The early charging of crude oil occurred in the late stage of Cretaceous Nenjiang (79-77 Ma), corresponding to the first event of charging, and the late charging occurred in the Mingshui period of Late Cretaceous (69-65 Ma), corresponding to the second and third events of charging.
