Evolution of Diagenetic Fluid of the Dawsonite-Bearing Sandstone in the Jiyang Depression,Eastern China

Based on the petrology,isotope geochemistry and fluid inclusions analysis,we established the evolutionary mode of the diagenetic fluid of dawsonite-bearing sandstone in the Jiyang Depression.Dawsonite-bearing sandstone is characterized by double injection of CO_(2)and oil-gas in the Jiyang Depression that have experienced a relatively complex diagenetic fluid evolution process.The diagenetic sequence of secondary minerals involves secondary enlargement of quartz,kaolinite,first-stage calcite,dawsonite,second-stage calcite,ferrocalcite,dolomite and ankerite.Hydrocarbon charging in the dawsonite-bearing sandstone occurred at around 2.6–0 Myr.The CO_(2)charging event occurred during Dongying tectonism,forming the Pingfangwang CO_(2)gas reservoir,which provided an abundant carbon source for dawsonite precipitation.Carbon and oxygen isotopic compositions of dawsonite demonstrate that CO_(2)forming the dawsonite was of an inorganic origin derived from the mantle,and that water mediating the proc-ess during dawsonite precipitation was sequestered brine with a fluid temperature of 82℃.The evolutionary sequence of the diagenetic fluid in the dawsonite-bearing sandstone was:alkaline syngenetic fluids,weak alkaline fluids during organic acid forma-tion,acidic fluids in the early stage of CO_(2)injection,alkaline fluids in the late stage of CO_(2)injection,and weak alkaline fluids during oil and gas charging.The mode indicates an increase in-HCO_(3)because of the CO_(2)injection,and the loss of Ca^(2+)and Mg^(2+)due to the precipitation of carbonate minerals.Therefore,the evolutionary mode of diagenetic fluids is in good agreement with high HCO_(3)^(-),low Ca^(2+)and low Mg^(2+)composition of the present formation water in the dawsonite-bearing sandstone.

Study of corrosion mechanism of dawsonite led by CO_(2)partial pressure

The stability of dawsonite is an important factor affecting the feasibility evaluation of CO_(2)geological storage.In this paper,a series of experiments on the interaction of CO_(2)-water-dawsonite-bearing sandstone were carried out under different CO_(2)pressures.Considering the dissolution morphology and element composition of dawsonite after the experiment and the fluid evolution in equilibrium with dawsonite,the corrosion mechanism of dawsonite led by CO_(2)partial pressure was discussed.The CO_(2)fugacity of the vapor phase in the system was calculated using the Peng-Robinson equation of state combined with the van der Waals 1-fluid mixing rule.The experimental results indicated that the thermodynamic stability of dawsonite increased with the increase of CO_(2)partial pressure and decreased with the increase of temperature.The temperature at which dawsonite dissolution occurred was higher at higher f_(CO_(2)).There were two different ways to reduce dawsonite’s stability:the transformation of constituent elements and crystal structure damage.Dawsonite undergoes component element transformation and crystal structure damage under different CO_(2)pressures with certain temperature limits.Based on the comparison of the corrosion temperature of dawsonite,three corrosion evolution models of dawsonite under low,medium,and high CO_(2)pressures were summarized.Under conditions of medium and low CO_(2)pressure,as the temperature continued to increase and exceeded its stability limit,the dawsonite crystal structure was corroded first.Then the constituent elements of dawsonite dissolved,and the transformation of dawsonite to gibbsite began.At high CO_(2)pressure,the constituent elements of dawsonite dissolved first with the increase of temperature,forming gibbsite,followed by the corrosion of crystalline structure.
