Abstract:

Based on the data sets of geology, oil production test, logging, rock thin section and geochemistry of Permian Lucaogou Formation (LCG) in the Jimsar Sag of Junggar Basin, we studied the formation and distribution of tight oil. LCG source rocks are excellent level with high total organic carbon and Ⅰ, Ⅱ type kerogens, containing low mature to mature organic matter. The sweet spot sections are large in total thickness, good in continuity, with a variety of lithology. The source rocks and tight reservoirs are widely distributed and form an optimal source-reservoir-caprock combination through space and time, which are beneficial to tight oil accumulation. The abnormal overpressure in LCG provided a drive force for tight oil migration and charging. The excellent level source rocks, reservoirs, optimal source-reservoir-caprock combination, and abnormal overpressure are key factors to tight oil formation. There is oil show in the whole LCG and the tight oil is mainly accumulated in reservoirs related to excellent level source rocks in vertical. The tight oil is mainly distributed in the areas with thick source rocks (>200 m), high TOC (>3.5%) and thick reservoirs (>15 m), and controlled by source rocks and reservoirs in plane.

Key words: tight oil, formation factor, distribution, Lucaogou Formation, Jimsar Sag
