The reservoir characteristics of the Upper Ordovician Wufeng-Lower Silurian Longmaxi Formations in southern Sichuan Basin were preliminarily revealed in this study by identifying and quantitatively evaluating the fracture pores of five appraisal wells in the central and northern parts of the southern Sichuan Depression by several methods. Four conclusions were reached as follows: (1) In the central zone of the Depression, the deep reservoir space of the Wufeng-Longmaxi producing pay is composed mainly of matrix pores and the microcracks are not common, whether on the local structural highs, flanks or lows. The physical properties are similar to that of the matrix pores in Changning, Weiyuan and Fuling gas fields. (2) In the northern zone of the Depression, the deep reservoir space of the Wufeng-Longmaxi black shale is composed mainly of matrix pores, and fracture pores mainly occur in local discrete intervals, with a total porosity range from 3.5% to 6.7%, on average 5.3%, and fracture porosity of 0-2.1%, on average 0.3%. (3) In the central and northern parts of the southern Sichuan Depression, the Wufeng-Longmaxi producing pays have undeveloped fracture pores and chiefly extensively distributed matrix pores, indirectly indicating relatively stable tectonic activities and corresponding weaker reservoir reworking there than Fuling field located in eastern Sichuan Basin. (4) The size and distribution of the gypsum-salt layer in the Cambrian are the key controlling factors of fracture pore development in the Wufeng-Longmaxi Formations. Therefore, the areas including Wellblocks L7, GS1, eastern Sichuan Basin and western Hubei province, where gypsum-salt layer in the Cambrian is thick and stable, and fracture intervals are likely to occur in the Wufeng-Longmaxi producing pay controlled by decollement structure above salt structure since the Yanshan Movement, are the potential favorable areas for fracture pore development.
