Abstract:

In order to determine the genesis of the carbonate reservoirs in the Middle Permian Maokou formation in Yunjin area, southern Sichuan basin, the dissolution stage and mechanism were investigated through core and thin section observations, petrological analysis and isotopic geochemical analysis. There are three stages of dissolution in the reservoirs of the Maokou formation in the study area: (1) atmospheric water karstification in the supergene stage, with atmospheric precipitation as the karstification fluid and the fractures formed in the Dongwu movement period as the flow channels, which showed the transformation from fractures to dissolution fractures/vugs and karst cavities, mainly under the control of unconformity surface and paleomorphology; (2) hydrothermal dissolution in the early diagenetic stage, when the deep mantle-derived hydrothermal fluid in the post-magmatic stage related to the eruption of the Emeishan basalt moved up along the fault to the interior of the Maokou formation and reformed the formation, and saddle-shaped dolomite was developed; and (3) burial dissolution in the late diagenetic stage, when the dissolution fluid was mainly the mixed acid fluid composed of the fluid in Permian carbonate rock and the fluid in mudstone diagenetic transition, and the flow channels were mainly the fractures and stylolite formed in the Yanshan movement period, with dissolution fractures/vugs developed along fractures and stylolite. On the whole, the atmospheric water karstification in the supergene stage is the decisive diagenesis for the formation of the reservoirs in the study area, and the hydrothermal dissolution in the early diagenetic stage and the burial dissolution in the late diagenetic stage allowed the formation of a small amount of dissolution pores/vugs and dissolution fractures, which could improve the storage performance of the reservoirs.
