Source of quartz cement in tight gas sandstone: Evidence from the Upper Triassic Xujiahe Formation in the western Sichuan Basin, SW China

Source of quartz cement in tight gas sandstone: Evidence from the Upper Triassic Xujiahe Formation in the western Sichuan Basin, SW China

Quartz cement is a significant authigenic mineral in the tight gas sandstones of the Upper Triassic Xujiahe Formation, fourth member (Xu4 sandstones) in the western Sichuan Basin. Here we report mineralogical, petrological and geochemical data from the Xu4 sandstones to constrain the silica sources...
