Mineral Features of Chlorite and Laumontite and Their Impacts on Reservoir Physical Properties: A Case Study of Lower Wuerhe Formation in Western Luliang Uplift, Junggar Basin

Abstract

Abstract:

In order to enhance the understanding of mineral features of chlorite and laumontite in the lower Wuerhe formation of Permian in the western Luliang uplift, Junggar Basin, the chemical composition, occurrence states, and impacts on reservoir physical properties were studied by means of thin section, electron probe and X-ray diffraction. It is found that the chlorite has an trioctahedral crystal structure and occurs in three states: pore lining, particle coating, and pore filling. It is classified as an iron-magnesium transitional type, richer in magnesium. Fe replacing Mg mainly occurs in the octahedrons, with the Al/(Al+Mg+Fe) ratio ranging from 0.25 to 0.37. The forming of chlorite is attributed to the alteration of argillaceous rocks and the transformation of mafic rocks, with substantial material input from the hydrolytic dissolution of tuffaceous volcanic materials and the interconversion of clay minerals. Laumontite occurs in three states: crystal aggregate, filling, and replacement. The laumontite in crystal aggregate state is surrounded by numerous debris, which promotes the formation of laumontite. The laumontite in filling state coexists with chlorite, calcite and other minerals, which compete with them for material sources, partially inhibiting the formation of laumontite. The laumontite in replacement state is mainly formed by the replacement of feldspar and debris, resulting in high Si/Al ratio and good acid resistance, which allow the laumontite to be not easily dissolved. Chlorite and laumontite have dual effects on reservoir physical properties. Chlorite can significantly improve reservoir physical properties, resulting in the formation of high-quality reservoirs. In contrast, the effect of laumontite on reservoir properties is limited. With the increase of burial depth, the lower Wuerhe formation presents a variation in diagenetic environment from alkaline to weakly acidic and then to alkaline, with a relatively closed diagenetic system.

Key words: Junggar Basin, Luliang uplift, lower Wuerhe formation, chlorite, laumontite, occurrence state, reservoir physical property
