description This study addresses the unclear understanding of the primary factors controlling fluid mobility in the tuff reservoirs of the Huoshiling Formation from the Dehui Fault Depression, southeastern Songliao Basin. Through physical property analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), thin section (TS), pressure-controlled porosimetry (PCP), rate-controlled porosimetry (RCP), and nuclear magnetic resonance experiments (NMR) on ten tuff samples, we conducted a comprehensive and in-depth exploration of the influencing factors that control the mobility of reservoir fluids. The results indicate: 1) The primary mineral types in the tuff reservoirs are quartz, feldspar, and clay minerals, with porosity predominantly characterized by dissolution pores and intergranular pores; 2) Based on the morphology of PCP intrusion curves, the tuff samples from the study area can be categorized into three types, with reservoir quality progressively deteriorating from Type I to Type III; 3) Compared to the movable fluids saturation (MFS), movable fluids porosity (MFP) is more suitable for characterizing fluid mobility. The mobility of fluids is influenced by various factors such as mineral composition, physical property, pore-throat connectivity, pore type and heterogeneity. MFS and MFP show a positive correlation with permeability, the content of quartz and feldspar, median pore-throat radius (R50), average throat radius (ATR), average pore-throat radius ratio (APT), T2 cutoff value (T2-C), average throat radius (RT), sorting coefficient (SC), and intergranular pore dominate space (Inter-DS), while a negative correlation with the content of calcite and clay minerals, average pore-throat radius ratio, and the fractal dimension from NMR (DNMR). This study elucidates the influencing factors of fluid mobility in tuff reservoirs, which has important reference significance for the scientific development of this type of gas reservoir.
