Abstract
Through optical microscopic examination, scanning electron microscope analysis, whole rock X-ray diffraction analysis, X-ray fluorescence spectrum analysis, carbon and oxygen isotope analysis, and temperature measurement of fluid inclusions, the characteristics and formation mechanism of the alkaline lacustrine tight oil reservoirs of the Permian Fengcheng Formation in the Mahu Sag of the Junggar Basin have been systematically studied, and a genetic model has been proposed. Porosity of tight oil reservoirs of the Fengcheng Formation in the Mahu Sag is mostly less than 4%, with permeability mostly less than 0.1 mD. The lithology of the Fengcheng Formation in the Mahu Sag is mainly tuff, and the authigenic minerals mainly consist of feldspar, quartz, dolomite, and salt minerals (e.g., shortite, trona). The authigenic feldspar and quartz of the Fengcheng Formation in the Mahu Sag mainly originate from devitrification of volcanic glass in pyroclastic rocks. Reservoir space is dominated by dissolution pores of feldspar and salt minerals, followed by intercrystalline pores among feldspar, quartz, and other minerals formed by devitrification. Fractures are mainly comprised of shrinkage fractures, structural fractures, and bedding seans. The Permian Fengcheng Formation was mainly formed in an alkaline lake in the Mahu Sag, and the alkaline lacustrine sedimentary setting plays a decisive role in the formation of the tight oil reservoirs of the Fengcheng Formation. Volcanic glass in the tight oil reservoirs was generally devitrified within the alkaline lacustrine diagenetic fluid in the early diagenetic stage, and the devitrified micropores become an important reservoir space. Feldspars and salt minerals were mainly dissolved by acidic fluids generated by burial thermal evolution of the alkaline lacustrine source rocks of the Fengcheng Formation in the Mahu Sag, which produces the most developed dissolution pores in the tight oil reservoir. The abnormal high pressure formed by the early hydrocarbon generation and expulsion of the alkaline lacustrine source rocks in the Fengcheng Formation is one of the main reasons for porosity preservation. In the alkaline lake sedimentary environment of the Fengcheng Formation, widespread dolomitization and precipitation of a large number of salt minerals in the early diagenetic stage resisted partial compaction, which not only effectively protected early porosity, but also provided material conditions for dissolution porosity enhancement.
