Abstract:The Lower Cambrian Xiaoerbulake Formation consist of thick dolostones which are high-quality hydrocarbon reservoir in the western Tarim Basin, but the origin of dolomite is still controversial, which lead to poor understanding to the origin of reservoir beds. By using the latest core data of Well XKD-1, we analyzed the petrology and geochemistry of the formation in order to clarify the genesis of dolomite. The geochemical analysis includes Sr, C, and O isotopes, and in-situ minor element and rare Earth element… Show more
