Abstract: Dolomite of the Dengying Formation in southern Sichuan Basin has been studied a lot as an important kind of reservoir rocks for oil and gas.However,origin of the dolomite is still in controversy.This paper studied the geochemical characteristics and fluid origin of the dolomite in the Dengying Formation in southern Sichuan Basin through analyses of C-O isotopes and trace elements.The results show that the main types of dolomites are micritic dolomite,fine-medium dolomite and breccia-dolomite.The δ13C and δ18O values are 0.52‰~2.06‰ (PDB) and -11.9‰~-2.14‰ (PDB),respectively,which are lower than the original values of δ13C (4.43‰) and δ18O (-0.62‰) of carbonates of the same period.The dolomite has high U/Th ratio,low Sr and high Eu anomalies.It is believed that the dolomite formed in a burial diagenetic environment and was altered by hydrothermal fluid later.REE distribution patterns of the dolomite is similar to the dolomite originated from seawater.Salinity indexes(Z)of the dolomite is higher than those of normal seawater.Therefore,it can be inferred that the dolomitization fluids mainly originate from the condensed seawater trapped in the Formation.
