Carbonate cements are the most important cements in the Paleogene sandstone reservoirs of the Bozhong depression.Analysis on thin sections shows that the main cements of the middle and deep clastic reservoirs are siderites

dolomites

calcites

ferrodolomites and ferrocalcites.According to the statistical data

carbonate content gradually rises with the increase of depth.A sharp increase of carbonate content occurs in the Paleogene Dongying Formation.When the carbonate content exceeds 10%

it will have a great impact on physical properties of reservoirs.Analysis on thin sections and isotopes reveals that the siderites mainly occur as pores fillings and particle rim cements and were mainly formed in the synsedimentary period or at the early stage of the early diagenesis.The calcites mainly occur as particles or poikilitic cements.The relative calcite content has negative correlation with δ

O values

indicating that most of the calcites were formed late.The ferrocalcites mainly occur as particles.The ferrocalcite-dominant samples correlate with low δ

O values and relatively high temperature of precipitation.The dolomites mainly occur as intergranular pore-filling particles in patches

and its relative content has obvious positive correlation with δ

O value.Its temperature of precipitation is relatively low and the time of forming is relatively early.The ferrodolomites mainly occur as dispersed particles

and its relative content has obvious positive correlation with δ
