英文摘要 | The Sulige gas field in the Ordos Basin is the largest gas field in China. The studied area, the northern Tianhuan depression, is located west of the gas field and is considered as a potential gas-producing area. The complex diagenetic alteration history and its effects on the pore-throat network and reservoir quality of the tight gas sandstones are explained. The upper Paleozoic first member of the Shanxi Formation and eighth member of the Shihezi Formation tight gas reservoir rocks are composed of coarse- to medium-grained sandstones and are dominated by sublitharenites. The most important diagenetic factor for porosity reduction was compaction, followed by cementation. Diagenetic mineral phases include quartz overgrowth, calcite cement and replacement, and kaolinite cement and replacement, with minor heulandite and chlorite. Pressure dissolution of quartz grains and quartzite fragments is the main source of silica for the early and late quartz overgrowth cementation (formed mainly from 120°C to 140°C). The hydrolysis and alteration of volcanic material and mica flakes released some silicon, calcium, and aluminum ions. Calcium and carbon in calcite cements could be derived from surrounding mudstones. Calcite replaced the quartz overgrowths. The formation of kaolinite, as cement and replacements, was controlled by the interactions of silica, aluminum, pH, and temperature (140°C). Because of deformation of detrital components (mica flakes and ductile rock fragments) and diagenetic replacement, clear negative correlations between reservoir quality and contents of the diagenetic minerals are lacking. A complex and isolated pore-throat network was created by strong diagenetic transformation. Based on analysis of thin sections, three-dimensional x-ray micro–computed tomography, and constant-rate mercury injection data, the samples with relatively good reservoir quality (porosity >10% and permeability >0.5 md) are characterized by dissolution pores and primary intergranular pores and commonly contain more and larger pore throats both in volume (counts >1800 and size >0.02 per unit volume) and diameter (>1.20 μm) than the samples with poor reservoir quality. The intercrystalline pores of kaolinite are very widespread and considered favorable for oil and gas accumulation because some asphalt was found within these pores. This study may be used, by analogy, to better understand diagenetic factors controlling the formation of tight gas sandstone reservoirs and predict the development of pore-throat systems. |
