When high-resolution sequence stratigraphy represented by T. A. Cross Genetic Stratigraphy Group of Colorado School of Mines was introduced to the pubic,it immediately drew the attention of academic circles.The practical effect in application is remarkable.This marks a new development in sequence stratigraphy.The high-resolution sequence stratigraphy introduced in this paper focuses on more accurate prediction of sedimentary mineral deposit,especially concrete objective of oil and gas exploration.The high-resolution sequence stratigraphy takes the stratigraphic and sedimentary process-response dynamic principles,including the principles of stratigraphic base level,volumetric partition,factes differentiation and rule for chronostratigraphic cycle correlation as its theoretical bases.The practice of hydrocarbon exploration and development has proved that the high-resolution sequence stratigraphy has significant importance in factes analysis,3-D prediction of reservoir and the establishment of petrophysical model for fluid-flow numerical simulation.

The diffluence channel sand bodies of K₂-K_1-3 key horizones placed on the bottom of Pliocene lower Youshashan Formation in Youshashan Oilfield,Qinghai have developed into a deltaic labyrith reservoir frame. The frame prototype of outcropped sand bodies may be considered as the evidence in establishing underground prediction model.This means that data obtained from outcrops of the sand bodies including reservoir structure,the density and geometry(the ratio of width to thickness)of the sand bodies,regional paleocurrent direction,the ratio of total areas of prototype frame models of outcrops,the ratio of the area for sand bodies with different thickeness were used to establish the predictive transverse model, predictive plane model and permeabality model of the sand body frames.According to the prediction results.half of the reservoiring sand bodies have ever beed drilled yet.

Various kinds of gravity flow sediments including terrigenous elastic gravity flow deposits and carbonate gravity flow deposits developed in the west margin of Ordos Basin from late Early to Middle Ordovician.The terrigenous elastic gravity flow deposits are more significant due to its great thickness and broad distribution extent.The gravity flow sediments could be classified into(1)low-density turbidity current deposit;(2)high-density turbidity current deposit;(3)matrix-rich debris flow deposit;(4)matrix-poor debris flow deposit.The first two types are well developed. Based on the study of sedimentary sequence,paleocurrent direction, distribution of turbidite in time and space, and major provenance,three submarine fans named Tongxin,Helanshan and Zhuozishan submarine fans have been identified with the total area of more than 43000km² and the thickness approximately 3000m.Among these submarine fans, Helanshan submarine fan is a high energy one,the other two are low energy ones. The submarine fan systems mentioned above possess good hydrocarbon prospects.

The measured monogenetic temperatures of organic inclusions in the fissures of mudstones in Shiwu Faulted Depression,Southern Songliao Basin Were 97.6℃,106℃, 122℃ and 168.8℃ respectively.This indicates that at least four periods of hydrocarbon expulsion took place.The reservoirs in the fault-depressde basin contain rich inclusions which are mainly in gas phase.But certain amount of oil inclusions could be found in Shiwu and Fulongquan Faulted Depressions.The monogenetic temperatures of the inclusions in the Shiwu Faulted Depression Were 70-80℃,90-110℃ and 120-140℃,which reflected three hydrocarbon migration and accumulation stages.The characteristics of the inclusions of Shiwu and Fulonguan Faulted Depressions Were similar. Liutiao Faulted Depression, hower, had fewer periods of hydrocarbon migration and accumulation, the monogenerous temperatures wre primarily 120-140℃.The abundance,type and distribution of organic inclusions of different depressions suggest that Shiwu Faulted Depression is active in hydrocarbon migration and accumulation and has good oil and gas prospects,lateral migration is its major migration manner;Fulouguan Fanulted Depression is secondary in hydrocarbon migration and accumulation,with vertical migration as its main manner;hydrocarbon migration and accumulation of other depressions are relatively weak but possess good gas exploration prospects.

Intermittent flood crevasse is the main factor in the formation to Wencunjia crevasplayi adeep crevasse pond and the directional extansion of braided channels passing by hills and holows is the important geomorphic feature of the crevasse splay.The sediments of the splay are primarily graded-suspension transported.Sediments in water channels hawe distinct binary texture,but the binary texture of the sediments between the channels are not clear.This has resulted in fine sediments of the former than the later in the upper parts. The maim sedimentary structures include large scale of wash-filling bedding,trough cross bedding,Parallel bedding,sand ripple,homogeneous bedding.As for its grain size curves,type-Ⅰ is usually coarse and well-sorted, representing sediments deposted in lower parts of braided channels in the root and central parts of the splay;type-Ⅱ is relatively fine and better sorted, representing sediments deposited in the lower parts of the root and central sections of the splay between the channels,type-Ⅲ is fine but poor sorted.representing sediments in.splay margin. In consideration to the above mentioned,three sub factes such as deep pond,main body and margin subfacies have been subdivided.

Simulation result shows that the deltaic beach of Songzi River aggrades in the form of swallow tail and self-balance adjustiment in which master stream aggrades first and then branch streams. Flood period is the stage for the beach to develop.The beach roots in flood period, then it gets thinner in medium water level,and is exposed in low-water.River axis tends to the central line in high water level,it flexes in low water level,and this is supposed to be the controlling factor for the formation and evolution of Lujiahe beach.The lujiahe beach turns to be a wide point bar of concave bank in flood periods,and becomes a channel bar in medium and low water periods.Fenghuangtan and Jiangkouzhou Neaches are both dominated by cove pattern and the boundary conditions of the river channel.The Fenghuangtan beach would aggrade in flood periods while Jiangkouzhou would mainly be scoured.It means that the former would grow bigger and the later would decrease and subduce.
