Formation and preservation of pores in deep limestone reservoirs: A case study of Upper Permian Changxing Formation, central Sichuan Basin, SW China by Long WEN, Bing LUO, Benjian ZHANG, Xiao CHEN, Wenzheng LI, Yifeng LIU, Anping HU, Xihua ZHANG, Anjiang SHEN

“…Under the clamping of dense roof and floor, the abnormal high-pressure in the Changxing Formation is formed. Abnormal high-pressure (overpressured compartment) is the key to maintain the pores formed in the depositional and epigenetic environments in deep-buried layers. (4) Based on the identification of roof, floor and reef-beach complexes, the favorable reef-beach limestone reservoir distribution area of 10.3×104 km2 is predicted by well-seismic integration. …”
