Abstract:

Boundary fault features and deposition characteristics of the Dongying Formation support a division of the Nanpu depression into three structural units,namely the steep slope zone,the depressed zone,and the gentle slope zone.The analysis of drilling,log and seismic data points out that fan-deltaic depositional systems are mainly developed in the steep slope zone and are controlled by different paleo-structures and paleogeomorphology,thus showing clear disparity in grain size of reservoir rock and development scales.Based on these observations,the paper sums up three fan deltaic genetic models,including fault-platform,fault-terrace,and fault-scarp.They differ tremendously in reservoir capacity.The delta plain subfacies and fan delta front subfacies developed in the fault-platform setting and the fan delta front subfacies developed in fault-terrace setting are considered as the favourable facies belt for forming high quality reservoirs.
