By using the drilling coring data, rock thin section, cast thin section, scanning electron microscope and logging data, and combined with the analysis of the test data, the diagenesis characteristics and its impact on reservoir porosity of Lenghu region of Paleogene has been carried on by the detailed study. The results showed that the maturity of the Lenghu region is low, the primary pore, secondary pore and micro cracks are both developed in the reservoir. The diagenesis types are complex, including compaction, cementation and dissolution. The compaction is the most fundamental reason for failure of reservoir. The porosity loss of the reservoirs in the study area caused of the compaction is 21.65 % in average. The cementation is an important factor for further reducing the reservoir pore loss, causing an average of 3.34 %. The dissolution of the reservoir is an important way to increase the hole, but due to the lack of dissolution fluid, its contribution is limited, increasing pores about 2.26 %. There is a positive correlation between the reservoir properties and maturity, and a negative correlation between the properties and depth, which show that the low maturity and deep buried Lulehe formation (E1+2) has the strongest compaction and cementation, and the worst reservoir property. The property of lower Ganchaigou formation (E3 1) was medium, and the upper of lower Ganchaigou formation(E3 2), which has the highest maturity and is the most shallow buried has the optimal reservoir property.

压实残余粒间孔隙主要是碎屑颗粒受到压实应力作用影响而挤压形成,形态多呈不规则状(图3a),胶结残余粒间孔主要由于胶结物,黏土矿物充填在粒间孔隙而形成,压实和胶结残余粒间孔在研究区古近系各个层位均有发育(图3a,b,c).粒间和粒内溶孔多发育于有机酸生成释放阶段,储层中不稳定颗粒如长石,碳酸盐胶结物,易溶杂基等遇酸发生溶蚀形成溶蚀孔隙,大多呈锯齿状(图3d),粒内溶孔以长石和岩屑碎屑颗粒内部发生溶蚀为主,常呈港湾状(图3e),溶蚀孔隙多见于E31,E1+2层位,E32层位相对少见.研究区微裂缝多以成岩微裂缝为主,强压实作用和溶蚀作用都有可能使得碎屑颗粒内部产生微裂缝(图3f),研究区储层微裂缝数量较少且对孔隙度影响不大,但对渗透率影响较大.
压实作用在研究区各个层位均有发生(图4),是研究区最为普遍的成岩现象,在显微镜下,可见泥质碎屑和云母等可塑颗粒在压实作用下发生形变,部分颗粒扭曲变形会挤入孔隙中呈现出假杂基现象(图4a,b),随着地层埋深的增加,压实作用作用力变强,镜下易观察到部分颗粒呈定向排列,石英和长石等脆性颗粒在强压实作用下发生脆裂产生脆性裂纹(图3f),颗粒之间接触关系由点接触转变为点—线接触或线接触.冷湖地区古近系储层镜下观察以机械压实作用为主,压溶作用相对少见.
