Abstract:

This paper presents study on the properties and evolution of genetic fluids in the dolomite reservoir of the Buqu Formation in the southern depression of Qiangtang Basin. Petrological classification is performed on the dolomite and genetic fluids tracing is carried out through isotopic analysis of carbon, oxygen, and strontium (C, O, Sr) in carbonate minerals of various ages. The results show that:(1) the Buqu dolomite in the study area experienced multiple-stage superimposed modification by dolomitization fluids, the genetic fluids of dolomite and crystalline-grained dolomite with original structure of precursor limestone are contemporaneous seawater. The isotopic (C, O, Sr) composition has a certain inheritance to the precursor limestone. (2) With the increase of burial depth, the crystalline structure of dolomite changed gradually. The oxygen-isotope (δ18OPDB) gradually became more negative:from micro-fine-crystalline dolomite (-3.81‰), to fine-crystalline and automorphic dolomite (-4.34‰), to fine-crystalline and hypautomorphic dolomite (-6.10‰), and to medium-to-coarse-crystalline and xenomorphic dolomite (-7.36‰). (3) Genetic fluids of saddle-shaped dolomite is meteoric water which flows through the underlying clastic formations into the Buqu Formation. The primary heat source was related to tectonic hydrothermal events and lasts 78-64 Ma. (4) Fine-to-medium-crystalline and automorphic dolomite cements, intercrystalline dolomite pore-filled calcites may have been developed at the end of shallow burial stage. The genetic fluid is contemporaneous seawater. The bright calcite veins are developed after the saddle-shaped dolomite, and its genetic fluid may be meteoric water related with the uplifting of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The superposition of multi-stage dolomitization fluids, meteoric water leaching and dissolution affected the formation and distribution of dolomite reservoirs in the Buqu Formation, and further controlled the quality of dolomite reservoirs herein.
