Abstract:

The Ordovician Yingshan Formation is one of the most important targets of petroleum exploration in the Tarim Basin. The genetic mechanism of well-developed dolomite reservoirs of multiple types has always been a focus of study here. The micropetrologic and geochemical characteristics of various dolomite reservoirs, including shallow buried, karstified and hydrothermal modification types, are revealed through analyses of tectonic-sedimentary setting, thin section observation and scanning electron microscopy, combined with in-situ carbon-oxygen isotopes, whole-rock carbon-oxygen-strontium isotopes, and fluid inclusion data. The dolomite reservoir of shallow-buried type is characterized by obvious euhedral crystals, and the consistent carbon and oxygen isotope compositions of mineral dolomite with different occurrences, reflecting the similar source of dolomitization fluids. The dolomite reservoir of karstified type is characterized by dedolomitization, calcite cementation of meteoric water origin, and negative δ18O values and rich radiogenic 87Sr. The dolomite reservoir of hydrothermal modification type is typically characterized by such hydrothermal minerals as fluorite and quartz. Its hydrothermal fluids are typically high in temperature and salinity, and the dolomite and calcite cements are characterized by negative 18O and Eu positive anomaly in forming the reservoir space. The multiple origins of dolomite reservoirs determine that their development and distribution are controlled by many factors including lithofacies, local structural locations, and fluid properties.
