Diagenesis and petrophysics of Miocene sandstones within southern Apennines foreland, Italy

Massimo Civitelli et al.

Summary: Deep-marine clastic turbidite beds in the Southern Apennines record the tectonic phases of the region. The sandstone suites are divided into four petrofacies based on variations of detrital compositions. Petrophysical analysis reveals differences in porosity and permeability values among petrofacies, with the highest but less effective porosity associated with specific detrital compositions. The study highlights the importance of linking detrital modes to petrophysical parameters for understanding regional controls on reservoir properties.

Source of quartz cement in tight gas sandstone: Evidence from the Upper Triassic Xujiahe Formation in the western Sichuan Basin, SW China

Yu Yu et al.

Summary: This study provides insights into the source and formation process of quartz cement in the Xu4 sandstones. The quartz cement is mainly derived from the dissolution of feldspar, the illitization of kaolinite and smectite, and the pressure dissolution of quartz grains. The precipitation of quartz cement is influenced by meteoric water, and the uplift of the basin affects the fluid flow and reactions.

Chlorite authigenesis and its impact on reservoir quality in tight sandstone reservoirs of the Triassic Yanchang formation, southwestern Ordos basin, China

Ke Li et al.

Summary: Authigenic chlorite in tight sandstone reservoirs of the Triassic Yanchang Formation in the Southwestern Ordos Basin, China, is found in two morphotypes: pore-lining and pore-filling chlorite. Pore-lining chlorite from volcanic material alteration has a positive effect on reservoir quality, while pore-filling chlorite precipitated in pore spaces with higher Mg2+ and Fe2+ concentrations and affected by early calcite cementation significantly reduces porosity and permeability at lower temperatures. Systematic studies on authigenic chlorite provide important insights into reservoir heterogeneity and are applicable to tight oil exploration and development.
