Characteristics of Pore Evolution and Its Controls of Lower Cretaceous Reservoir in Ying’er Depression, Jiudong Basin
Based on analyses of thin sections, casting thin sections and fluorescence thin sections, X-ray diffraction analyses, SEM observations and mercury porosimetry measurements of the reservoir sandstones, this research shows that the main pore types are the inter-granular dissolved pore and intra-granular dissolved pore of feldspar, siliceous debris, quartz and carbonate cements. Two secondary pore zones are developed in the lower member of Xiagou Formation and the top part of Chijinbao Formation. Sandstones in the study area are characterized by poor sorting, poor roundness and low mineralogical maturity. These are the characteristics of fast accumulation and closure to provenance of the sediments.
