Dolomite is a common carbonate mineral in sedimentary rocks, and dolomite rock serves as an important reservoir rock for oil and gas. However, the production of synthetic dolomite under normal temperature and pressure is not yet possible, the genesis of dolomite and dolomite reservoirs has been a difficult problem to understand in geological research. Fe ion is a prevalent impurity element in natural dolomite, and the Fe content in dolomite can serve as an indicator of the diagenetic environment, which provides valuable insights into the genesis of dolomite. The technology of Raman spectroscopy has evolved from qualitative analysis to quantitative analysis. Therefore, the quantitative characterization of carbonate mineral chemical composition can be accomplished using Raman spectroscopy. Previous studies have shown that the Raman spectra of calcite group minerals shift regularly with the change of cation composition. However, there is no systematic study on the relationship between Fe content and Raman spectrum in dolomite.
To discuss the influence of Fe content on the Raman spectrum of dolomite, and establish a test method for the determination of Fe content in dolomite by Raman spectroscopy.
Seven dolomite samples from the Maokou Formation were collected from a well in the Sichuan Basin. Based on the petrography observation under a microscope, different types of dolomite with relatively clean grains were selected for EPMA to obtain the chemical composition of dolomite, then microscopic confocal laser Raman spectroscopy was conducted in the same area to acquire the corresponding dolomite Raman spectra. In addition, Raman spectra and corresponding chemical composition data of 14 typical dolomite samples were obtained from the RRUFF database for this study. The effect of Fe content on Raman spectroscopy of dolomite was studied by analyzing the correlation between the characteristic parameters of dolomite Raman spectroscopy and Fe content.

Based on the different influences of Fe content in dolomite on the Raman shift of lattice vibration peaks and internal vibration peaks in Raman spectroscopy, a testing method for determining Fe content in dolomite is preliminarily established based on the distance between L peak and
