Abstract:

In the Meso-Cenozoic Hetao Basin, the early-stage wells have oil and gas shows but there is no substantial exploration breakthrough. The discovery of thick glutenite reservoir layer of Jihua-2X indicates good exploration prospect in the basin. To understand the hydrocarbon accumulation characteristics and delineate favorable exploration targets in the basin, we took the Jihua-2X reservoir as a research target. The major controlling factors on the accumulation of thick glutenite reservoir layers was clarified by analyzing the Jihua-2X reservoir, which is located in the eastern wing of the Jilantai tectonic belt (west of the Linhe depression). It is an inherited nose structure controlled by the Langshan branch fault. The oil-bearing sandstone is the fan delta sandbody in the Paleogene Linhe Formation and Cretaceous Guyang Formation. The Jihua-2X reservoir is well-developed and has high degree of enrichment. Matured source rocks of the Guyang Formation in the sub-sag area with high hydrocarbon expulsion power is necessary for hydrocarbon accumulation in the Jihua-2X trap. Furthermore, fan delta reservoir with high sand-strata ratio and successive nose structure, and interconnected migration pathway was likely the key for hydrocarbon accumulation in the Jihua-2X trap. Our results can provide a geological foundation for future exploration in the Hetao basin.
