| Abstract | The HR structure is located in the northeastern Red River Basin, Vietnam, where hydrocarbon was discovered recently in the carbonate basement reservoir. This discovery has changed the objective exploration activities for the northeastern part of the Red River basin. On the other hand, characteristics of carbonate rock fabric in this area are still not much studied. This research has been carried out to investigate the petrophysical properties of carbonate rock fabric of HR structure with a focus on porosity and carbonate fabrics. The main rock fabric parameters were determinated by thin sections and SEM, including mineral components, grain size, matrix, cementing. Classification of carbonate rocks and their porosity systems were made following Lucia (1995) ’s classification. The main lithologies were classified as packstone with grain - dominated and grainstone with grain - dominated. Porosity evaluation in dolos tone and limestone rock fabric has been done, using the thin section analysis, SEM with well log interpretation. All pore space was divided into interparticle and vuggy pores. Vuggy pore space was sub divided into touching vugs which have the porosity varies from 1% to 3% and interparticle porosity varies from 1% to 8%. The results of this research are expected to be useful evaluate the characteristics of carbonate rock fabrics basement reservoirs as well as hydrocarbon reserves estimation in HR structure for further exploration activities in the Red river basin |
