In the Shahezi Formation of Xujiaweizi fault depression in the Songliao Basin mainly tow sedimentary system is developed: the Xudong gentle slope belt and Xuxi fault zone systems. However, this area is little studied as there have been only limited efforts in exploration. Based on the latest drilling, outcrop data, description of core observation and laboratory microscope identification, it has been concluded that four mainly sedimentary facies are developed in this area: braided river delta, fan delta, lacustrine facies and sublacustrine fan. The subaqueous distribute channel is the main type of the fan delta front while the braided channel is the main type of the braided river delta. A number of clastic, sandstone and mudstone are developed in these two types of sedimentary facies. We can use it to make further study of dividing into micro-facies.

With comprehensive utilization of drilling, logging and seismic data, research was conducted on the sequence stratigraphic models of Jiufotang Formation, Lower Cretaceous in the Luxi Sag, Kailu Basin. It was revealed that Jiufotang Formation could be divided into one three-order sequence, which including lowstand systems tract (LST), transgressive systems tract (TST), highstand systems tract (HST) and regressive systems tract (RST). Within the sequence, it developed five types of sedimentary facies, which were nearshore subaqueous fan, braided river delta, meandering river fan, turbidite fan and lacustrine facies, respectively. The LST mainly developed nearshore subaqueous fan, the TST mainly developed meandering river deltas while the HST and RST mainly developed meandering river delta, braided river delta and nearshore subaqueous fan. In addition, turbidite fan developed in all four systems tracts. Two types of sequence stratigraphic models developed: short-axis model and long-axis model.

In this study, due to the inconsistencies in the understanding of the sedimentary types in the second section of the Dongying Formation (Ed2) and the third section of the Shahejie Formation (Es3) in the middle and deep strata of Nanpu No. 3 structural area, the depositional characteristics of the deep braided river delta, fan delta, deep-water slump turbidite fan, and coastal and shallow lake in the Nanpu No. 3 structural area were examined in-depth. The investigations were begun based on the descriptions and observations of core samples obtained from eight cored wells in the study area, in combination with seismic, well logging, and rock ore data. The results revealed that the sources of the material in the study area originated from the Shaleitian salient in the southwest direction. It was determined that the fan deltas and the shallow lake sedimentary system had developed during the SQ1 sequence and SQ2 sequence periods. The braided river deltas and the shallow lake and turbidite sedimentary system with multi-stage superposition had developed during the SQ3 to SQ7 sequence periods, and their distribution range had been controlled by the structural background of the gentle slope zone of the lake basin. On that basis, a sequence deposition filling model controlled by a slope break zone in the middle and deep strata of the Nanpu No. 3 structural area was established in this study starting from the typical seismic profile, in which such factors as the tectonic activity characteristics, lake basin boundary shape, water depths, and so on, were comprehensively considered. The goal of this research investigation was to provide beneficial information for oil and gas explorations in similar areas.

Wuerxun depression is one of the depressions with great exploration potential in Hailaer Basin and has submitted large-scale reserves. At present, it has entered the stage of fine exploration, and the exploration object has changed from structural reservoir to lithologic reservoir exploration. The remaining targets are mainly concentrated in the trough and surrounding areas, with strong concealment and difficult to identify. Fine identification of sand bodies, genesis, types and distribution of sedimentary fans are one of the key factors restricting oil and gas exploration. Based on core observation and genetic mechanism, three sedimentary facies models of Braided River Delta, fan delta and sublacustrine fan are established. In this paper, the method of “sequence control, cycle correlation and hierarchical closure” is used to fine characterize the fan delta sedimentary system in this area, which lays a foundation for the study of sedimentary microfacies of subdivision layers, optimization of lithologic reservoir targets and guidance of oil and gas exploration deployment.

AbstractBeppu Bay is located on east-central Kyushu, southwest Japan, and is characterized by hydrothermal activity, tectonic deformation, and recent volcanism under the influence of convergence of the Philippine Sea plate. This area, occupying the western portion of an arc-bisecting dextral fault system, is a tectonic depression that has existed since ca. 5 Ma. Sedimentary facies, mollusk assemblages, and radiocarbon (14C) ages of 25 terrestrial plant fragments and 16 marine carbonate shells from a 70-m drill core were determined to estimate the activity of the Funai Fault, which consists of normal faults along the southern margin of the tectonic basin. Based on the analysis, six sedimentary facies, namely braided river channel, estuary, prodelta, delta front, delta plain, and artificial soil, were identified. The vertical slip rate was calculated as 2.6–2.7 mm/yr based on displacements of the braided river channel sediments of the last glacial period and the base of Kikai-Akayoya tephra in the Holocene highstand sediments of this area. Reservoir ages during 6180–10,410 cal BP were determined from marine shell and terrestrial plant pairs from the sediments of the estuary, prodelta and delta front facies, and were correlated with values from a northern coast of Kyushu and the Korean Peninsula.

In the light of the principle and method of sequence stratigraphy, the sequence stratigraphic framework of Badaowan formation in the Dishuiquan area was established. The results show that the sequence of Badaowan formation is one and half, including 5 system tracts. The whole experiences the process of retrogradation, progradation and then retrogradation again. There develop three types of sedimentary facies such as braided river, braided river delta and lakes, five types of sedimentary subfacies and 10 types of sedimentary microfacies. Most of JSQ1 sequence lowstand system tract is braided rivers, the lacustrine transgressive system tract mainly develops shore-shallow lacustrine sediment and most of highstand system tract is braided river delta; lowstand systems tract of JSQ2 sequence mainly develops braided river delta, most of the lacustrine transgressive system tract is shore-shallow lacustrine sediments.

According to the comprehensive detailed analysis of data such as, drilling core, logging and outcrop section, four kinds of sedimentary facies, namely, proluvial fan, braided river, shallow water braided river delta, and oxidative lacustrine, are recognized in Paleogene-Neogene of Maxian area in the northern margin of Qaidam basin. The evolution features of the sedimentary systems were analyzed in details: at the early forming stage of the lake basin (Paleocene-Eocene), proluvial fan -braided river depositional systems were developed in the study area. At the middle flourishing stage of the lake basin (Oligocene-Middle Pliocene), the main sedimentary systems were braided river-shallow braided river delta-oxidative lacustrine. Then the study area was dominated by proluvial fan-braided river-oxidative lacustrine depositional systems in the regression stage of the lake basin (Late Pliocene). The range of the depositional systems in low frequency sedimentary cycle was controlled by the multi-cycle tectonic uplifts and squeezing action of mountains around the study area. Paleoclimate and ancient landform controlled the high frequency change of the lacustrine level and supplied an advantage for the development of shallow braided river delta and oxidative lacustrine facies.

The Lishui Sag is on the southwest margin of the East China Sea Shelf Basin (ECSSB), which is located on the continental shelf of the East China Sea. The analysis of sedimentological signatures is based on 217 m (712 ft) of Paleocene cores showing a wide variety of lithofacies, sedimentary structures, ichnological data, seismic data, and log data. Eight lithofacies, nine typical ichnofabrics, and four ichnofacies combined with petrological, geophysical, and bioturbation information were identified as the key sedimentary facies characteristics for identifying three sedimentary systems in the study area. Eleven sedimentological facies are present in the three sedimentary systems: foreshore, upper shoreface, lower to middle shoreface, offshore transition, proximal fan delta front, distal fan delta front, wave-dominated delta front sand bar, wave-dominated delta front sand sheet, interbar, tide-influenced distributary channel, and tide-influenced interdistributary bay facies. The three sedimentary systems that were identified are fan delta, wave-influenced delta, and tide facies. Fan delta deposits are present in the southwest and northeast of the sag, with subaqueous fan delta front deposits dominating, whereas farther seaward successions are characterized by distal fan delta front deposits that are intensely bioturbated. Wave-dominated deltaic deposits occur mostly in the western and middle parts, where fluvial discharge in the delta front and prodelta have been repeatedly reworked by waves and formed some isolated bars distributed perpendicular to the source; these deposits are sparsely to intensely bioturbated. Tide facies develop locally and have been identified as distributary channels and interdistributary bay facies.

As the northwestern area of the Junggar Basin is a key area for oil and gas exploration, the sedimentary facies of the Jurassic formations in the Wuerhe area has long been a focus of research. The target strata are Jurassic strata, including five formations: the Lower Jurassic Badaowan and Sangonghe, the Middle Jurassic Xishanyao and Toutunhe and the Upper Jurassic Qigu. Disputes over the are sedimentary facies division exist in this area. Considering the W105 well region in this area as an example, the overall sedimentary facies of single-well logging facies is analyzed and then expanded to two cross-sections and characterized. Based on previous studies, a detailed overview of the regional stratigraphy is obtained by well logs and other data. Then, two cross-sections are selected and analyzed. The single-well and continuous-well facies of 10 wells in the sections are analyzed to grasp the sand bodies’ spatial distribution. Finally, a planar contour map of the net to gross ratio is mapped to analyze the sources and the distribution of the sand bodies in each period. The sedimentary facies map is also mapped to predict the sedimentary evolution. The results show that the sedimentary facies of the Badaowan Formation in the study area was an underwater distributary channel of the fan-delta front, and the sand body spread continuously from northwest to southeast. The Sangonghe Formation entered a lake transgression period with a rising water level, at which time shore–shallow lacustrine deposits were widespread throughout the region. The period of the Xishanyao Formation entered a regression period, the northwest region was tectonically uplifted, and the central and southeastern regions facies were dominated by the fan-delta front and shallow lacustrine. During the Toutunhe Formation period, the northwest region continued to uplift and was dominated by delta plain facies. During the period of the Qigu Formation, the thickness of stratigraphic erosion reached its maximum, and the non-erosion area of the study area was mainly deposited by the fan-delta plain. Overall, the Jurassic system in the W105 well area is a fan delta–lacustrine–fan delta sedimentary system.
