Similarities | Differences | |||
Changqing18 | The main minerals include quartz, potassium feldspar, plagioclase, calcite, and clay minerals. | Quartz and clay minerals are the main minerals. Plagioclase is much more than potassium feldspar. | The porosity is between 6% and 12%, and the permeability is less than 1 mD. It is greatly affected by cementation and compaction. | The common pore types are residual primary pores, a small amount of intergranular dissolved pores and micro-fractures. It is strong heterogeneity. |
Daqing19 | The content of quartz is high, while the content of clay minerals is relatively low. Some sections contain high carbonate minerals. | The porosity is between 8% ~ 15%. The permeability is between 0.1 ~ 1mD. The dissolution is obvious. | The common pore types are intergranular pores, intragranular dissolved pores and a small amount of micro-fractures. | |
Xinjiang20 | The proportion of clay minerals is relatively high, and the rock contains abundant carbonate minerals. | The porosity is between 10% ~ 15%. The permeability is between 0.01 ~ 1mD. Micro and nano pores are well-developed. | The common pore types are intergranular pores, micro-pores, dissolution pores, matrix fractures and structural fractures. | |
Jilin21 | The mineral composition is primarily quartz. The content of feldspar is low. | The porosity is between 8% ~ 12%. The permeability is between 0.1 ~ 1mD. Volcanic debris or tuffaceous cementation makes the reservoir tighter. | The common pore types are intergranular pores, intragranular dissolved pores, micro-fractures. It is strong heterogeneity. | |
