Abstract

Abstract : In recent years, petroleum exploration in the Carboniferous volcanic rock reservoirs in the Junggar Basin has been the focus of important petroleum energy development in western China. The lithologic identification of volcanic rock reservoirs seriously restricts the accuracy of reservoir prediction and affects the success rate of oil exploration. Different types of volcanic rocks have different petrological characteristics and mineral assemblages, especially affected by the depositional environment. The volcanic rocks in different regions have their own uniqueness. This paper takes the Carboniferous volcanic reservoirs in Xiquan block, Beisantai Oilfield, Junggar Basin as the research target. Through a large number of core observations, casting slices, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction methods, the Carboniferous volcanic rocks are analyzed. The petrology, pore characteristics, physical properties, and diagenetic evolution history of the reservoir are analyzed. The study shows that the volcanic facies in the Xiquan block can be divided into explosive facies, overflow facies, and volcanic sedimentary facies, among which the explosive facies is subdivided into empty subfacies (volcanic breccia-breccia tuff combination) and thermal base wave subfacies (tuff). The lithology of the reservoir is pyroclastic rock and volcanic lava, belonging to medium-porous and ultralow permeability reservoirs, and the storage space can be divided into three types: primary pores, secondary pores, and fractures. The lithology of key exploration is breccia tuff, followed by breccia tuff and volcanic breccia.
