In this study, a sandstone interval of the lower Cretaceous successions in SW Iran is analyzed regarding the effects of late diagenesis on the alteration of primary reservoir quality and pore system. Petrological and geochemical analyses indicate dominant quartz mineralogy (quartz arenite) deposited in distributary channel and mouth bar environments which is embedded in delta front to prodelta argillaceous sediments. Rather than mineralogy and some remaining primary (intergranular) porosity, several late (burial) diagenetic processes including multi-phase carbonate cementation, chlorite cementation, and chemical compaction, affected the reservoir quality. Most of the diagenetic processes had a decreasing effect on the primary reservoir quality. All recognized diagenetic features are related to burial diagenesis of the surrounding open marine shales (clay mineral transformation) and expelled diagenetic fluids.

“…Most data fall within the recycled orogenic tectonic setting, with minor data within the craton interior setting (Figure 8b). This indicates that the sediments of the Yan'an Formation in the Mengcheng section are mostly derived from sedimentary strata and subordinate volcanic rocks, in part metamorphosed, and exposed to erosion by the orogenic uplift of fold belts and thrust (Dickinson & Suczek, 1979;Dickinson et al, 1983).…”

“…The carbonate component in clastic limestone and sandstone has been underestimated or ignored because of their chemical and physical weakness and later modification by diagenesis after sedimentation (Zuffa, 1980). But their existence as detrital grains in sandstones indicates intrabasinal origin and proximal accumulation, because carbonate rock fragments are susceptible to breakage during transportation and deposition (Dickinson & Suczek, 1979;Ingersoll, 1987;Mack, 1984). Therefore, the occurrence of the reworked sporopollen and carbonate debris demonstrates that sediments of the Yan'an Formation may be recycled from proximal highlands comprising pre-Jurassic strata.…”

Detrital zircon geochronology of the Jurassic strata in the western Ordos Basin, North China: Constraints on the provenance and its tectonic implication

U–Pb detrital zircon data from the Jurassic strata in the western Ordos Basin (WOB) show significant age differences between formations, from lower to upper including the Yan'an, Zhiluo, Anding, and Fenfanghe formations. The main peaks in the detrital zircon age spectra of the Yan'an Formation are at ca. 245, 444, 1813, and 2,387 Ma, which resemble those of the underlying Triassic strata in the WOB. Combined with the occurrence of reworked sporopollen and carbonate debris, the sediments of the Yan'an Formation are interpreted to be potentially recycled from the residual Triassic highlands. The overlying Zhiluo Formation contains detrital zircons mostly in the 260–290 Ma age range with only one peak at 269 Ma, reflecting primary derivations from the Permian granites in the Yinshan Belt to the north and/or the Alxa Block to the northwest. The detrital zircon age compositions of the Anding Formation, however, are most varied, with one prominent age peak at 274 Ma and several other minor peaks at 348 Ma, 447, 932, 1641, 2143, and 2514 Ma, reflecting complex origins. The uppermost syntectonic Fenfanghe Formation, contains detrital zircons with similar age compositions with the Yan'an Formation, once again interpreted as the result of recycled sedimentation. These two phases of multicycle sedimentation in the WOB reveals two intense tectonic events in the Late Triassic and Late Jurassic, whereas the provenance transition between the Yan'an and Zhiluo formations implies a less intense but extensive event in the Middle Jurassic. The complex age composition of the Anding Formation, however, are possibly as the result of climate change corresponding to the change of petrology and sediment colour. These Early‐Middle Mesozoic tectonic events evidenced by the U–Pb ages record the tectonic transition of the North China Block from the Tethys to the paleo‐Pacific tectonic domains.

“…Most of the sandstones contain very little, if any, detrital quartz. The prevalence of VRFs, amphiboles/pyroxenes, and plagioclase suggests the sandstones are volcanogenic and were probably derived from an undissected volcanic arc terrane (Dickinson and Suczek, 1979;Dickinson, 1985). It is hypothesized that the detritus was derived almost exclusively from the erosion of pre-existing volcanic rocks, likely including lava flows, ignimbrites, and tuffs, in close proximity to the depocenter.…”
