Abstract:

Based on abundant core, logging and seismic data, this paper mainly analyzed the sedimentary types and characteristics of the Paleogene M reservoir in Laojunmiao structural belt, and further discussed the distribution characteristics, as well as their main controlling factors. The result shows that M reservoir develops fine-grained alluvial fan,which contains upper fan, mid fan and lower fan deposits, with size-decreasing grains in a complete retrograding sedimentary sequence. The deposit displays fan-shape in plane view and convex-shape in cross section. And an incised valley is developed in the root of fan-shaped deposits. The width of individual fan varies from 5 km to 10 km,with the length from 12 km to 15 km and thickness from 15 m to 25 m.The width of incised valley ranges from 2 km to 4 km, with incised depth from 20 m to 25 m.Sandbodies display thinner thickness and wider distribution in the longitudinal direction, which is affected by the landform. The formation of the fine-grained alluvial fan in the study area is controlled by three factors, including geomorphology, source rocks and climate. Open topography at the toe of mountain provides an open landform for the generation of alluvial fan, which, together with the fine-grained clastic sediments from the paleo-weathering crust of Cretaceous mudstone and sandstone, are the main factors controlling the generation of the fine-grained alluvial fan. Hot and dry climate intensifies the weathering process of the source rocks.
