Sandstone can be divided into many types with reference to permeability and porosity. Some scholars and researchers have established criteria to classify tight sandstone by using porosity and permeability. Sandstone with permeability less than 1mD and porosity less than 10% could be called tight sandstone. Exploration and development of tight sandstone gas has become a hot spot of oil and gas exploration (Dai J. et al., 2002) in China. Quite recently, tight sandstone gas reservoirs of different scales have been discovered in the middle-lower Jurassic of Taibei Sag in Turpan-Hami Basin. The purposes of this paperare to analyze the texture and composition of the middle-lower Jurassic tight sandstones, investigate diagenesis type and reveal the influence of diagenesis on reservoir quality.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
