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.

压实和胶结作用对储层孔隙起到破坏作用,随着成岩作用的加急,储层中原生孔隙消失殆尽,孔隙度迅速减少,而溶蚀孔隙是储层形成次生孔隙,增加孔隙度最为重要的途径.根据前人研究结果可知[20],研究区储层成岩阶段主要处于早成岩阶段B期或中成岩阶段A期(图6),成岩场的温度不足以使烃源岩大量分解有机酸,即使冷湖地区古近系E1+2层位和E31层位含有较多的杂基,碳酸盐胶结物以及自生黏土矿物,具备了较多的溶蚀对象,但由于溶蚀流体(有机酸)的相对匮乏,因此,冷湖地区古近系储层中因溶蚀作用产生的次生孔隙增孔较为有限.通过镜下薄片分析研究,因溶蚀增孔量约为2.26 %左右,且溶蚀孔隙主要发育于E1+2层位和E31层位,E32层位成熟度相对较高且埋藏浅,几乎难觅溶蚀孔隙.
综合前文分析,可知冷湖地区古近系储层压实作用是破坏储层孔隙的最根本原因,胶结作用是使孔隙进一步减少的重要因素,溶蚀孔隙是储层增孔的重要途径,但贡献有限,据此,可建立研究区储层的孔隙演化模式(图6).冷湖地区古近系储层物性与成熟度成正相关性,与埋藏深度成负相关性,表现为低成熟度和深埋藏的路乐河组(E1+2)压实和胶结作用最强,储层物性最差,下干柴沟组下段(E31)次之,成熟度最高和埋藏最浅的下干柴沟组上段(E32)储层物性最优,究其原因,是由于埋藏越深,地层上覆岩石压力也越大,压实作用对储层孔隙的破坏性自然表现的就越强;而成熟度低,则表现为储层中刚性颗粒石英含量较低,塑性颗粒长石或者杂基的含量高,这些塑性颗粒不仅抗压实应力的能力弱,且易在压力作用下变形挤入孔喉中,破坏储层的物性.
