Selective Dissolution of Clay Minerals in Tight Sandstone by Organic Acids by Fei YANG, Zhichao SHEN, Jiangmin DU, Fang WANG, Bo DONG

“…As important factors affecting reservoir exploration and development, their organic acid dissolution effects on clay minerals need to be further studied.OBJECTIVES(1) In order to explore the main influencing factors of organic acids on the dissolution of clay minerals in tight sandstone, by analyzing the influence of time, temperature and different types of organic acids on the dissolution of clay minerals. (2) To reveal the dissolution reaction mechanism between organic acid fluids and tight sandstone, providing a theoretical basis for improving the prediction ability of relatively high-quality reservoirs under tight backgrounds.METHODS(1) The Triassic Yanchang Formation in the Ordos Basin was selected as the research object, and the ratio of reaction fluid to sandstone dissolution simulation experiment was conducted according to the type and content of organic acid in the thermal evolution fluid of Source rock. (2) After the reaction, the column rock sample was rinsed multiple times with distilled water, placed in a drying oven, dried for 24h, and then taken out for testing. …”
