Abstract:

The shales in the 2nd member of Shanxi Formation in the Daning-Jixian blocks， east margin of the Ordos Basin were deposited in a marine-continental transitional environment during the Permian. The Shan23 sub-member is characterized by large thickness， few and thin interlayers， which is the key target for transitional shale gas exploration and development. However， there are relatively few related studies on the reservoir characteristics， especially the main controlling factors for the development of the high quality reservoirs need to be further clarified. In this paper， the reservoir characteristics of Shan23 sub-member in Daning-Jixian blocks are systematically studied and the main controlling factors of high quality reservoir development are discussed by using geochemical analysis， compositional analysis and microscopic characterization method. The results indicate that the lower section of the upper lagoon facies in the Shan23 sub-member has the characteristics of high TOC content， high brittle mineral content， high values of BET and BJH， which is the sweet spot for shale gas exploration and development. Pores developed in clay minerals and in organic matter contribute most to the porosity of the Shan23 sub-member， accounting for 76.9% and 18.7% of the total porosity respectively. SEM observation （resolution>6 nm） discloses that different components in shale have great difference in pore size distribution， and the pores developed in organic matter and calcite are mainly in meso-scale. The pore size distribution characteristics of clay minerals are similar with quartz pores where pores developed both in meso and macro scale. The pores developed in feldspar and pyrite distribute in a wide range and the distribution is relatively uniform. Single factor analysis shows that the content of the clay minerals is the dominant controlling factor for pore development in the Shan23 sub-member. The organic matter content has a certain effect on the pore development of shale， but the influence of the organic matter type on the pore development is not obvious.

Key words: Transitional facies, Shale gas, Permian Shanxi Formation, Reservoir characteristics
