Abstract:Field survey reveals that the Daping Dengying Formation Paleoreservoir can be classified as fracture reservoirs. It is controlled by the detachment structure, with fractures mainly developed in the upper part of the Dengying Formation. A large volume of bitumen is filled in fractures, with minor distributed along the suture line or permeated through the surrounding dolomite. The analysis shows that the δ 13Corg and V/(V+Ni) values of the bitumen are -3327‰ and 089 respectively, which are close to that of the Niutitang Formation shales, indicating that the paleooil reservoir likely sourced from the source rocks of slop belt and basin in the Cambrian Niutitang Formation. The homogenization temperatures and the Raman compositions of fluid inclusions in quartz or calcite vein fractures in the paleoreservoirs show that since middle Jurassic period, the paleoreservoirs have experienced fractures formation, hydrocarbon charging, destruction and underground fluid permeation. Our study shows that the Sinian Dengying Formation in the SangzhiShimen synclinorium in north of paleooil reservoir has a burial depth of nearly 4 kilometer, which formed well preservation conditions for oil and gas. In addition, differences of lithology above or below the detachement belt caused fracture development of the Dengying Formation, which has distinct improvement for reservoirs and be of possibility to form the secondary petroleum reservoirs.
