Abstract:

Well Yong 1 area is located in the Changji Sag of the Junggar Basin. Yanshan Movement had formed the Chemo uplift in the mid-late Jurassic, and it also led to overlapping and erosion of the Xishanyao Formation, forming a series of stratigraphic and lithologic reservoirs. Unconformity structures play an important role in the hydrocarbon migration and accumulation processes. Considering the factors of accumulation, the unconformity structures are divided into three levels: Level I includes cover and unconformity body, Level II divides the unconformity body into overlying strata, unconformity layer and underlying strata, and Level III contains the reservoir-forming elements, including the reservoir, barrier layer, weathered claystone and weathered leaching zone. The vertical unconformity structures are divided by logging data based on lithology, physical properties and petrological characteristics, and these structures in the study area are relatively complete. Through natural gamma ray inversion (based on seismic and well-logging data), the distribution of reservoirs and barriers in the unconformity structural layers are clarified. Thickness of the weathered leaching zone decreases gradually from the upper part to the sag, whereas the weathered claystone thickness increases, yielding a good negative correlation. The unconformity structures control the two most important types of reservoir-cap combinations in this area, i.e. (1) a combination of the overlying strata and the regional cap layer, and (2) a combination of the underlying strata and the weathered claystone.
