Abstract:

No consensus has been reached on the types of sandy conglomerate fans in the 4th-middle 3rd members of Shahejie Formation in Minfeng area.Based on observation and description of cores from 26 wells and in combination with seismic data,logging data,and grain size characteristics,this paper systematically studied the sedimentary characteristics of sandy conglomerate fans,including nearshore subaqueous fans,fan deltas and deep water turbidite fans in the 4th-middle 3rd members of Shahejie Formation in Minfeng area.Fan deltas dominate the bottom of the lower 4th member and middle 3rd member of Shahejie Formation,while the nearshore subaqueous fans are predominant in the middle to upper part of the lower 4th member,the upper 4th member and the lower 3rd member of Shahejie Formation.Deep water turbidite fans exist in each interval,but their scales are small.On the basis of identifying the types of sandy conglomerate fans in different intervals,we analyzed the synsedimentary tectonic activity,the geometry of boundary fault,paleoclimate,water depth and the close and open of lake basin,and determined the evolution and distribution characteristics of the main sedimentary facies in different periods. Based on these studies,this paper puts forward a sedimentary evolution model for the sandy conglomerate fans in the steep-slope zone of rifted lacustrine basin under the successive controls of the'high angle plate fault-high angle listric fault’,offering an appliccable instruction for oil and gas exploration in similar area.
