Abstract:

The Shengyi District is located in the western Shengtuo Oilfield, where rich oil/gas deposits are found in reverse drag anticline traps formed under the control of the Shengbei Fault. In this study, sedimentary microfacies of the 1st sand group, 2nd member, Shahejie Formation (or ‘Sha’er 1 sand formation’, for short), Shengyi District, was investigated through core analysis, grain size analysis, and sedimentary facies analysis. The sand formation is mainly made up of shallow lake beach-bar deposits, with five sedimentary microfacies: main bar; bar edge; beach ridge; beach sheet; and inter-beach depression. Facies characteristics and depositional environments of the Sha’er 1 sand formation, revealed by facies analysis on typical cores from single and continuous wells, show that the deposition of the sand formation is mainly controlled by provenance, landform, wind field, and water depth. This research can provide strong technical support for sustainable and stable oil field development in the later stage.
