    Abstract Tight sandstone gas has become one of the important unconventional resources. It is of great significance to study the pore throat structure of tight sandstone for the development of tight sandstone gas reservoirs. On the basis of previous research results, this paper studies the tight reservoir characteristics of Yanchang Formation by combining geological data with geophysical logging. The reservoir characteristics are described and studied in detail by ordinary thin section, casting thin section, graphic granularity, and scanning electron microscope experiment. The experimental results show that the reservoir sandstone types of long 6 segments are mainly lithic feldspathic sandstone and feldspathic lithic sandstone, with high component maturity and structural maturity. The components of cement mainly include authigenic clay minerals illite, chlorite, and carbonate minerals. The reservoir space is mainly composed of feldspar-dissolved pores and residual intergranular pores. Compaction and cementation are the decisive factors of pore reduction. At present, the average porosity of the reservoir is 8.33% and the average permeability is 0.12 × 10−3 μm2, which belong to an ultralow porosity and ultralow permeability reservoir. On the basis of studying the origin, superimposition, and distribution of sand bodies and taking into account the sedimentary characteristics, origin, and trigger mechanism of gravity flow, a multisource sedimentary model is established in the study area, which is dominated by sandy debris flow, accompanied by turbidity current and local development of sandy slump. The thick massive sandstone with the most exploration significance in the study area is formed by the superimposition of multistage sandy clastic flow sediments along the gully in the direction of delta to lake. Summarizing the characteristics of reservoir development and evaluating and predicting it can provide geological basis for the next exploration and development of deep-water tight reservoirs in the study area.

    Abstract: ... rocks from the Chang 7 Member of the Yanchang Formation in the Ordos Basin, NW China ...

    Abstract Pyrite is widely distributed in lacustrine shales and has become a research focus in unconventional oil and gas exploration. Pyrite morphology is useful for identifying different types of organic matter and assessing shale oil enrichment in organic-rich shale. Abundant pyrite is developed in the source rocks from the Chang 7 Member of the Yanchang Formation in the Ordos Basin, NW China. However, the relationship between different pyrite types and the differential enrichment of shale oil still needs to be clarified. The organic geochemistry, petrology, and isotopic composition of the Chang 7 Member samples were analyzed. The significance of pyrite types and sulfur isotopic compositions as indicators of depositional environments and shale oil enrichment was emphasized. The Chang 7 shales contain three pyrite morphologies, framboidal pyrite (type A), spherulitic pyrite (type B), and euhedral and anhedral pyrite (type C), and their aggregates. The sulfur isotopic compositions of pyrite (δ

    Abstract Organic-rich shales and mudstones have long been investigated regarding the control of source, environment, climate, etc. on the enrichment of organic carbon. However, little is documented about how autotrophy and heterotrophy influence organic carbon cycling/export. Here, we show molecular and carbon isotopic compositional changes of the shale or mudstone source rocks from the Chang 3 to 7 members of the Yanchang Formation. The Chang 7 member source rocks have higher quality (480-500 mg/g) and total organic carbon (TOC) (15.3% on average) than other member source rocks; the sterane/hopane ratio and the δ

    Abstract The Yanchang Formation, which records the whole evolutionary history of the Middle–Late Triassic lacustrine basin in the western part of the North China Block, provides an opportunity to understand the relationship between the tectono-sedimentary evolution and massive organic matter burial in lacustrine systems. The present study investigates the changes in the lithofacies association, provenance, regional tectonism, depositional environment, and organic matter accumulation in the low-middle part of the Yanchang Formation, aiming to unravel their links. As a result of the rapid deepening of the southern Ordos Basin, the deposits in the depocenter of the basin shifted dramatically from shallow lacustrine sandstones of the lower part of the Yanchang Formation (i.e., Chang 8 Member) to deep lacustrine shales and gravity flow deposits of the middle part of the Yanchang Formation (i.e., Chang 7 Member). The provenance of the overlying Chang 7 Member is distinct from that of the underlying Chang 8 Member. It is proposed that crustal extension caused by the southwestward rollback of an oceanic slab in the eastern Paleo-Tethys may have triggered the rapid extensional subsidence in the southern Ordos Basin during the early Ladinian. In response to this deep geodynamic process, the depositional environment of the contemporaneous Ordos Basin has changed significantly, as reflected by improved primary productivity, enhanced bottom-water anoxia, as well as reduced terrigenous clastic supply in the Ordos Lake. The coupling of these processes further led to the enrichment of organic matter in the Chang 7 Member.

    Abstract Structural fractures have a significant control effect on the large-scale accumulation of hydrocarbons in the Yanchang Formation. Previous studies have affirmed the important role of fractures in hydrocarbon accumulations in strongly deformed zones. However, for low-amplitude structural areas, the degree of fracture development is relatively low, and their control on sweet spots of hydrocarbons has not yet formed a unified understanding. In this paper, taking the Upper Triassic Yanchang Formation in the western Ordos Basin as an example, the development characteristics, prediction method, and the distribution of fractures in tight sandstone reservoirs in low-amplitude structural areas have been systematically studied using a large number of cores, thin sections, paleomagnetism, FMI logging, acoustic emission, productivity data, and finite element method. The research results showed that the Yanchang Formation in the study area mainly develop high-angle and vertical fractures, which were formed by regional tectonic shearing. Fractures are mainly developed in the fine-grained and ultra-fine-grained sandstones of the distributary channel and estuary bar microfacies, while the fractures in the medium-grained sandstones of the distributary channel and the mudstones of the distributary bay are relatively underdeveloped. The core fractures and micro-fractures of the Yanchang Formation all have the regional distribution characteristics, and the fracture strikes are mainly between NE50° and NE 70°. Moreover, the finite element method was used to predict the fractures in the target layer, and the prediction results are consistent with the actual distribution results of the fractures. The coupling analysis of fractures and tight oil sandstone distribution showed that the existence of fractures provided conditions for the accumulation of hydrocarbons in the Yanchang Formation. The confluence and turning areas of the river channels were repeatedly scoured by river water, and the rocks were brittle and easy to form fractures. ...

    Abstract Pore structure characteristics of tight sandstones, including pore types, connectivity, and morphological features, provides a basis for selecting the "sweet spot" in tight sandstone reservoirs. A variety of research methods, high-pressure mercury intrusion porosimetry, cast thin sections, scanning electron microscopy, and fractal theory were integrated to explore these parameters of tight sandstones from the Chang 7 member of the Triassic Yanchang Formation in the Ordos Basin, China. Results indicate that tight sandstones are defined by three pore types with distinct fractal dimensions and corresponding pore structure, which are combined pores, isolated grain pores, and clay-dominated pores. The pore spaces of the three types gradually evolve from the microscale to the nanoscale. Combined pores were formed by dissolution pores connected to the surrounding pores and have been distinguished by their irregular shape. Their connected paths are multidirectional, resulting in better connectivity. Isolated grain pores have a small number of poorly connected paths, which causes weak connectivity. Clay-dominated pores have narrow and complex connected paths, resulting in poor connectivity. From the combined pore to the clay-dominated pore, the fractal dimensions of pore spaces decrease, indicating that the heterogeneity of pore spaces is gradually weakened whereas the heterogeneity of the flow characteristics is gradually enhanced. On the basis of the proportions of the three pore types, the tight sandstones can be genetically classified into a combined pore type, an isolated grain pore type, and a clay-dominated pore type. The differences in pore space and heterogeneity affect the distribution of tight oil; therefore, sand bodies located near the source rock, characterized by strong dissolution and dominated by the combined pore type, are favorable zones for tight sandstone reservoirs.

    Abstract Favorable prospects for the exploration of shale gas have been demonstrated in the Ordos Basin, China. Outcrop and core observations indicate that there are abundant laminas in the shale strata, which exert a great influence on hydro-fracture propagation, gas storage and fluid flow. In this study, the continental shale of the Chang 72 Member, collected from the south of Ordos Basin, was investigated to characterize the geometric heterogeneity. Laminas at multiple scales were observed and measured using conventional logging, borehole TV, core analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and the Particle and Crack Analysis System. These measurement tools correspond to the meter scale, decimeter scale, centimeter scale, millimeter scale and ten-micrometer scale, respectively, with measured thicknesses of 2.26 m, 2.09 dm, 1.70 cm, 1.48 mm and 11.70 μm, respectively. Fractal theory was used to analyze the power exponent distribution of the lamina thickness, with a resulting fractal dimension of 1.06. Finally, a geometric heterogeneity model was proposed for the Upper Triassic Yanchang Formation in the study area and verified by a modeled thickness of 26.30 m for the Chang 72 Member at the 10-m scale. The model facilitates cross-scale analysis and provides parameter guidance for heterogeneity characterization in the numerical simulation and model test of the shale gas reservoir.

    Abstract The biomarker features of 10 Chang 7 crude oil samples were investigated by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and the rare-earth element (REE) compositions of 16 Chang 7 and Chang 8 crude oil samples were determined by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) for the first time in Longdong area. Oil-source correlation analysis was improved by biomarkers and REEs. The distribution and relative ratios of a series of biomarker parameters in saturated hydrocarbons and aromatic hydrocarbons of crude oil samples indicate that Chang 7 tight oil has already reached the mature stage. The organic matter mainly comes from lower aquatic organisms of algae, with some contribution of micro-organisms and bacteria, while the forming environment of tight oil is mainly the transitional environment of sub-oxidizing to sub-reducing. The V/(V + Ni) and Ni/Co ratios of crude oil samples suggest that the specific redox conditions of Chang 7

    Abstract Brittleness determines the effect of reservoir fracturing and is important for increasing the production of unconventional oil and gas. The reservoir of Yanchang gas field is characterized by low porosity, low permeability and strong heterogeneity, which make it difficult to produce industrial gas flow under natural conditions. Triaxial compression tests in sandstone samples of Shihezi formation in Yanchang gas field show that the main fracturing mode is multiple horizontal splitting, the main cracks are completely fractured, and the brittleness index ranges from 46.1% to 51.4%. After S-wave velocity model in the study area is established, the conversion relation of dynamic and static mechanical parameters could be obtained, that is, Es=0.4142Ed+10.769 (R2=0.8387), and μs=1.1076 μd-0.068 (R2=0.7366), according to which, the dynamic mechanics parameters calculated by well logging can be adjusted, and then the reservoir brittleness could be quantitatively evaluated. Combining with the brittleness index calculated by mineral component method, it can be concluded that the brittleness calculated by well logging is reliable and the brittleness of Shihezi formation in Yanchang gas field is high, which is beneficial for reservoir fracturing.
