Abstract
The tight sandstone of gravity-flow deposits in Miocene Mbr 2 of the Huangliu Fm, Ledong area is one of the focuses future exploration in the Yinggehai Basin. Reservoirs have complex sedimentary and diagenesis processes, experienced multi-stage fluid influence. However, the influence of different diagenesis on reservoir quality, and distribution patterns of different diagenetic facies in Mbr 2 of the Huangliu Fm are still short in research. In this paper, a variety of methods, such as thin sections analysis, electron microscopy (SEM), electron probe micro-analyzer (EPMA), cathode luminescence (CL), x-ray diffraction measurement (XRD), in situ carbon and oxygen isotopes composition of cements (SIMS), fluid inclusion homogenization temperature, and high-pressure mercury injection (HPMI), are used to analyze reservoir quality, diagenetic evolution stages, diagenesis, fluid filling processes, etc. Studies have shown that there are obvious differences in diagenetic evolution process, including carbonate cementation. organic acid and hydrothermal dissolution, etc. Which ultimately leads to large differences in physical properties. Although sandstone texture has an impact on reservoir quality, strong compaction and early carbonate cementation were the main reasons for reservoir densification. Early calcite was precipitated in alkaline seawater, and later ferrocalcite was formed by the re crystallization of calcite and polyframboidal pyrites and euhedral pyrites formed under organic acid charged. After hydrothermal fluid charged, dolomite, iron dolomite, cement pyrites and dispersed granular pyrites precipitated. Besides, illite filled the throat. The dissolution of organic acids and late CO2-rich hydrothermal fluids improved the quality of reservoirs. According to the difference of diagenetic process and the quality of the reservoirs, Mbr 2 of the Huangliu Fm is divided into 4 types of diagenetic facies. High-quality reservoirs are mostly developed in H2-I, H2-II, and H2-V sand formation near faults. Early carbonate cements were less developed, which could support primary intergranular pores. Feldspar, rock fragments, and early carbonate cements were strongly dissolved. It includes two diagenetic facies, low cementation-strong dissolution reservoirs and slightly cementation-weaken dissolution reservoirs. On the contrary, tight reservoirs mostly develop in H2-III, H2-IV, and H2-V sand formation far away from faults, including late compacted tight reservoirs and early carbonate cementation tight reservoirs. The research results are helpful to analyze the diagenetic evolution of tight sandstone reservoirs, and conducive to the study of similar gravity-flow reservoir quality with the influence of hydrothermal fluids.
