Abstract:

The sedimentary facies and distribution of the sand-mudstone member are ambiguous due to complex lithology in the bottom of Bachu Formation, Lower Carboniferous in Tahe Oilfield. Based on detailed description and observation of drilling cores, integrated with logs, casting thin-sections and seismic attributes analysis, the sedimentary systems consisting of alluvial fan, lagoon, barrier-type coastal are identified in the study area. Flowerlike sand bodies of alluvial fan as non-reservoir developed along NE-SW direction in northern study area next to well S85, with a large set of conglomerate. Lagoon deposits distributed in axis of Akekule ancient uplift in southern study area, are made up of calcareous mudstone and marlite. Barrier island in southern study area distributes along the NEE direction, and parallels to the axis of the uplift. Fine sandstone of coastal shore facies deposited in the southwest part of working area. Sandstones of the barrier bar and shore facies are both favorable reservoirs.

Key words: alluvial fan, lagoon, barrier island, seismic attribute;Tahe Oilfield
