- W1484686512 abstract "Four case histories of textural and reservoir analyses of selected Paleozoic carbonate cycles and reef complexes of the Western Canada basin have been utilized in the formulation of a carbonate rock classification chart. This chart is presented to illustrate the relationships of grain, matrix, and cement variants of carbonate rocks, to porosity and permeability determinations, and should satisfy the requirements of an oil geologist or reservoir engineer. Large stratigraphic accumulations of oil have been discovered at or near the Paleozoic subcrop of the Mississippian Midale carbonate cycle in southeastern Saskatchewan. Apart from scattered, vuggy, algal encrusted strand-line deposits, most of the carbonates of the Midale producing zone consist of sorted, silt-sized material and skeletal or nonskeletal limestones which have a very finely comminuted, commonly dolomitized, limestone matrix with intergranular and chalky porosity. Effective reservoir porosity is controlled by the relative distribution, grain size, and sorting of this matrix. Major hydrocarbon (oil and gas) reserves have been found in the Mississippian Elkton carbonate cycle, both in the foothills belt and along the subcrop, in southwestern Alberta. Effective reservoir material of this cycle was found to consist mainly of the dolomitized equivalent of originally coarse, uncemented skeletal limestone, and skeletal limestone with a variable amount of generally porous, finely comminuted (granular) skeletal matrix. Primary porosity was very important in the control of dolomitization, which began with the replacement of this matrix by euhedral rhombohedrons, and finally affected the coarse skeletal material (now generally indicated by leached fossil-cast outlines). These porous dolomites grade laterally in a predictable way into tight, relatively nondolomitiz d, well sorted, coarse skeletal (locally oolitic) limestones with original high interfragmental porosity now completely infilled with clear crystalline calcite. This lithification by cementation took place early in the history of carbonate sedimentation of this area and before secondary dolomitization processes took effect. The transgressive, reef-fringed, limestone banks or platforms of the Upper Devonian Beaverhill Lake formation in the Swan Hills region of Alberta have been found to contain major reserves of oil and gas. Successive rims of organic lattice, stromatoporoidal and algal, atoll-like buildups, with granular matrix, separate generally medium to dark brown pelleted lime muds containing abundant amphiporids, and intercalated lighter colored lagoonal carbonates, from open marine shales and nodular, argillaceous, crinoid- and brachiopod-rich limestones. The most effective reservoir material along the reef fronts or terraces consists of vuggy organic lattice, algal encrusted amphiporids (minor developments), uncemented skeletal or nonskeletal limestone, and reworked stromatoporoidal, algal, and amphiporid material with intraorganic vugs, embedded in a porous, well sorted, micro to finely granular matrix. Matrix grain size and sorting studies are essential to exploration and secondary recovery problems, as the granular material grades laterally into chalky or micrograined limestones, which were laid down under lower energy conditions. Matrix granularity ratio outlines are considered to be superior to ecological maps (percentage of algal and stromatoporoidal material) in the prediction of shoal areas. The highly productive Nisku, regressive, dolomitized biostromal-evaporite complex of the Edmonton and Red Deer areas of Alberta, contains numerous stratigraphic and/or structural traps. Zonation of Nisku dolomites has been accomplished by crystal size and shape studies in combination with identification of vestiges of original organic structures and skeletal or nonskeletal grain outlines. The morphological expression of the underlying Leduc reef platforms and carbonate buildups in the Duvernay formation strongly influences facies variations of the Nisku carbonate-evaporite unit. An algal, stromatoporoidal, coralline, organic lattice chain associated with generally coarse, dolomitized, clastic carbonates with a porous, granular matrix is developed on the Rimbey-Meadowbrook trend, and f rms a front to a shale-limestone facies deposited under open marine conditions to the northwest. To the east of this barrier, a complex pattern of fringing organic and clastic carbonate shoals separate locally silled, lagoonal deposits of evaporites and brown carbonate muds containing abundant secondary anhydrite-replaced amphiporids. The shoal and lagoonal carbonates throughout most of this area are overlain by anhydrite or anhydritic dolomite sheets, which were precipitated in the wake of an overall regressive Nisku sea." @default.
