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.

压实作用是研究区储层物性变差的主要成岩作用类型.碎屑颗粒在压实应力作用下发生扭曲变形,颗粒排列趋于紧密,岩石骨架密度变大,镜下可见碎屑颗粒呈点—线排列形式,原生孔隙空间迅速减少;研究区储层成分成熟低较低,含有较多的杂基,而塑性杂基易在压实应力作用下弯曲变形挤入孔隙中(图4a),使得孔隙体积进一步减小.通过对30口井和260余张薄片的统计分析,结合分选系数,可知研究区储层原始孔隙度大约在33.62 %~41.56 %,平均为37.16 %.利用Houseknecht DW提出的压实和胶结作用与粒间孔隙体积损失的关系图,可定量评价压实作用对储层孔隙破坏量值(图5),研究区储层整体因压实作用造成的孔隙度损失可达6.69 %~33.44 %,平均21.65 %,其中E31,E1+2层位,E32层位因压实造成的孔隙度损失平均值分别为24.15 %,16.72 %和14.86 %(图5),可见储层孔隙因压实作用引起的损失具有随着埋深的增加而变大的特征,与前文述及的薄片镜下观察的颗粒排列关系结果一致.同时不难发现冷湖地区古近系储层孔隙损失主要集中于压实作用效应区(图5),说明压实作用是造成研究储层孔隙减小最根本的原因.
研究区石英胶结物以石英次生加大边产出,或者以自生石英的形式占据于孔隙中,不论以哪种方式产出都减少了孔隙空间(图4e,4f,4h).自生黏土矿物对储层孔隙的贡献不尽相同,如绿泥石环边利用抑制石英次生加大及胶结物的形成,高岭石一般是酸性环境的指示剂,因此,绿泥石和高岭石一般与孔隙度正向相关性,而伊蒙混层,伊利石等黏土矿物一般都占据于孔喉中,与孔隙度呈负相关性.研究区因胶结作用造成的孔隙度损失可达0.74 %~7.06 %,平均3.34 %(图5),可见胶结作用是冷湖地区古近系储层孔隙减小的重要因素.
