Abstract:

In recent years, the southern steep slope of the Wushi Sag has become an important oil-gas exploration target in the Beibuwan Basin, in which the second member of the Liushagang Formation is considered as the main target layer. To identify the distribution pattern of sand and favorable reservoirs, we conducted detailed source-to-sink and fracture system analyses, discussed the coupled fracture-provenance deposition controls and the main factors of favorable reservoir distribution, based on comprehensive analyses of drilling and seismic data. The results reveal an obvious lake retreat in the middle bed of the Liushagang Formation second member, which developed a fan delta system. The slope-break and F7 fault zone likely controlled the development of medium-large fan delta systems in this area, and we have summarized three types of structurally deposition control patterns. Parent lithologic differences are likely the main cause for the reservoir dissolution. The main parent rock type in the central and western districts is magnetite granite. Its sediments contain less stable minerals such as K-feldspar, which formed dissolved pores and improved the physical properties of the reservoir. The above analysis shows that the central and western districts are favorable exploration areas due to the large fan delta development and good reservoir physical properties.

Key words: Wushi Sag, the second member of Liushagang Formation, source-to-sink system, sedimentary system, reservoir property variation, dissolution
