Reservoir Physical Property and Controlling Factors for the Lower Youshashan Formation in Youshashan-Dawusi Area, Southwestern Qaidam Basin

Abstract:

The core data, casting thin sections and scanning electron microscopy are used to study the clastic reservoir characteristics and controlling factors of reservoir growth. It indicated that the main reservoir rock types are lithic arkose, Feld spathic sandstone, and a small amount of feldspar lithic sandstone, and with compositional maturity and low to middle structural maturity. Moreover, the primary reservoir space types are mainly intergranular pores, secondary are secondary pores, and reservoir types belong to the medium-high porosity and permeability, and the average porosity and permeability of lower Youshashan formation are 17.70% and 112.5×10^-3μm² separately. Furthermore, the reservoir body is mainly sand body result from deposits of distributary channel and mouth bar of which belong to the braided delta front, and the planar physical property tends to be better reservoir to worse reservoir from northwest to southeast. Finally, mainly factors to control the distribution of reservoir physical property, are the sedimentary environment and lithology, were worked out.
