Abstract:

Based on abundant field outcrop and core data, combined with scanning electron microscopy, cathodofluerescence microscopy and geochemical analysis, carbonate diagenesis, diagenetic sequence and pore evolution in the 4th member of the Dengying Formation in northeastern Sichuan Basin were studied in detail. Widely influenced by pore fluid and diagenetic changes during sedimentation and diagenesis, the carbonate reservoir underwent submarine cementation, syngenetic-parasyngenetic atmospheric freshwater dissolution, karstification controlled by sedimentary facies in the eogenetic stage, cement filling under shallow burial, dissolution under mid-deep burial, recrystallization and tectonic rupturing. Due to complex diagenetic fluids, the main cement fillings featured five periods of dolomite cements and two periods of siliceous cements related to volcano-hydrothermal activity, and the damage to the reservoir was most serious. However, facies-controlled eogenetic karstification was obviously different from typical epigenic karstification, and was the most critical, constructive diagenesis impacting the reservoir development in the study area. And dynamic superposition of different diagenesis eventually resulted in the current reservoir features. Results from this study provided a geological basis for the discovery of high-quality reservoirs in the region.

Key words: diagenesis, diagenetic sequence, pore evolution, karstification controlled by sedimentary facies, 4th member of the Dengying Formation, northeastern Sichuan Basin
