Abstract
Platform edge reefs of Upper Permian in Changxing Formation are important reservoirs in Puguang Gas Field due to the controlling mechanism of sedimentary facies and diagenesis, but the depositional pattern, prosperity of reef-building organisms and favorable paleoclimates of carbonate platform are the predominant conditions for reef development. Altered by diagenesis of cementation, compaction, dolomitization, recrystallization and denudation in marine, exposure and burial environments, the lithological features and physical properties of reef have been severely changed, resulting in a vertical lithology sequence of dolomite to limestone interpolated by limy dolomite and dolomitic limestone. Though the primary porosities are destructed by cementation and compaction, a huge abundance of secondary porosities are created by dolomitization, recrystallization and denudation to serve as gas accumulation space.
