<p>In order to investigate the controlling of the sedimentation environment evolution on the coalbed methane system in Xishanyao Formation on the southern margin of Junggar Basin,using drilling wells,logging wells,outcrops and other data with the assistance of fine analysis methods,such as scanning electron microscope and image granularity,the coalbed methane system was divided,and its sedimentation evolution process was researched. The research results show that sand body of five types of sedimentation microfacies,whose water and air blocking capacity is sorted as “diversion channel<crevasse splay and beach dam<natural levee and shore-shallow lake”,can be identified in the research area,and single-well vertical coalbed methane system was divided; during the SQ1—SQ2 period,the rise of lake level led to the expansion of the development area of lacustrine facies,as well as the weakening of the coal-accumulating process which was mainly concentrated in the TST and LST stages of SQ1,and the east-west characteristic difference regarding the coalbed development and gas content appeared and was in accordance with the plane distribution of sedimentary facies; during exploitation,the coalbed methane system should be defined according to the blocking capability of surrounding rock,appropriate exploitation methods should be selected according to the characteristics of each system,and the avoidance of vertically joint-developing sandstone aquifer and combined layer series of development should be paid attention to.</p>

The tight sand in the layer 7 of YanChang Formation, Ordos Basin major develops braided river delta and gravity flow deposits. In this paper, based on previous studies on lake pelvic shape, provenance and hydrodynamic, the sand body in the research area has been systematically studied through core observation, logging data, and sedimentary theory. Various genetic types of sedimentary sand body are developed in this area, mainly as delta deposition, sandy debris flow deposits, turbidites (classic turbidites). We can identify 6 kinds of sand vertical combination type, they are the superimposed sand body (A-type), thick and uniform thickness sand body (B type), thin and uniform thickness sand body (C-type), up thinning sand body (D-type), thickening up sand body (E-type) , thick and thin interbed sand body (F-type). The 6 types mainly controlled by sedimentary facies. The A-type sand body mainly developed in the delta depositional environment, the B type sand body is visible both in the delta and slope belt, while the D-type, E-type, F-type sand body are mainly developed in the deep lake. The distribution of sand body in the plane is zonal pattern.

Using data analysis and comparative analysis, the distribution of Coalbed methane (CBM) gas content in southern Junggar were analyzed on the basis of the southern Junggar Basin coalfield geological data, and the main controlling factors of CBM accumulation were studied. The results show that, Gas content ranges from 2cm3/g to 15cm3/g, which overall is highest in central and eastern and becomes progressively smaller in trend of westward. The study area has many characteristics, such as Multi-seam, large coal seam thickness, mainly Fine-grained clastic rock, which is conducive to the enrichment of the CBM. Study area belongs to confined aquifer of low water-richness and receives the supply of atmospheric precipitation and river. In the coal seams within a certain depth formed Runoff water and the CBM diffusion pattern of desorption - diffusion - transport - water soluble gas runoff, which are not conducive to the enrichment of the CBM.

To study the gas potential of coalbed methane (CBM) in the Fukang area, southern Junggar Basin (SJB) of North China, different methods including multiple geophysical logging, the Kim method with proximate analysis data, and Langmuir adsorption were used to evaluate the gas content. Furthermore, the geological controls on gas content were evaluated. One hundred sixteen CBM wells with geophysical logging and 20 with field-measured gas content were adopted to assess the gas content in the Fukang area of SJB, NW China. The results show that the two geophysical logging variables (DEN and CNL) were favorable for evaluating the gas content due to the perfect correlation with the measured gas content. The gas content varies from 4.22 m3/t to 16.26 m3/t, and generally increases with increasing burial depth. The gas content in coal seams along the synclinal axis is significantly higher than that along the synclinal wing in the west zone. In the east zone, the gas content of the westward is higher than that of the eastward because of the fault coating effect by reverse fault. Generally, the gas content of the SJB is in the order of syncline > surrounding reverse fault > slope of syncline > slope of anticline > central of reverse fault, if only geological structure features are considered. The favorable areas for CBM concentration appear to be a composite gas controlling result of multiple geological factors. Two typical geological scenarios with low gas content and high gas content were revealed. In the Fukang area of SJB, the low gas content is mainly due to the normal fault and roof lithology of sandstone. The most favorable area of high gas content for CBM exploration and development is in the northeast, where reversed fault, synclinal axis, mudstone roof lithology, and burial depth coincide with high gas content.

Junggar Basin is located in north Xinjiang and it has a huge amount of coalbed methane resources with less exploration and mining. The most vital characteristic in junggar basin is coal dip angel and gas content varies a lot in different areas. This paper reveals the relationship between gas content and coal seam dip angel, bigger the coal seam dip angel lower the gas content. The target area of CBM exploration and mining in junggar basin is HEGSH-STH area, HEGSHX area, BSMY-JJM area,LJM area, KLMY area, HSTLG area and XZJQ area. Gas content is mainly influenced by tectonic movement in junggar basin, it is low in complex structure area and high in simple structure area. Inclination of the coal seam stands for the complexity of the structure in junggar basin, the structure is complex when the coal seam is steep, it is simple when the coal seam is flat. The result can be used as a new method for coalbed methane exploration and development in inclined coal seam areas, small coal dip area should be chosen as the high gas content target.

<p>This study is designed to evaluate the heterogeneity of the Chang 6 reservoirs in Study area, and to analyze the effect of heterogeneity on the distribution of oil. Mainly based on the sedimentary microfacies of the chang 6 reservoir, to calculate the mudstone by using the gamma curve in the logging curve, the separation layer and the interlayer were separated by 2 meters, then analyse the data of intercalation and interlayer by means of sedimentary facies, core and thin etc. We believe that the distribution of the sand in the plane and the heterogeneity of the reservoir is the main control factor of the oil distribution in the area, and it has a good area of oil, which own better properties, and the grain size more coarse; The main control factors of the Chang 6 reservoir in D area is the distribution and physical property of the sand body plane, the better the continuity and physical property of the sand body plane, and the better display of the oil-bearing property of the reservoir; The migration will occur in the vertical direction When the oil and gas meet the thinner interlayer, which will have a great influence on the distribution of oil and gas in the vertical direction; The full extent of oil and gas in the reservoir is controlled by the microscopic heterogeneity of the reservoir. In the study area, the reservoir heterogeneity influence the oil and gas distribution by the physical and lithologic characteristics, the distribution of sand body surface and the distribution of layer interval etc mainly. The study on the relationship between the heterogeneity and reservoir distribution of the Chang 6 reservoirs in the research area can be reasonably evaluated for the favorable areas of oil and gas reservoirs and prediction research areas, so as to guide the development of rational development plans in the next step.</p>

A big tendency in oil industry is underestimating the heterogeneity of the reservoir and overestimating the connectivity, which results in overly optimistic estimates of the capacity. With the development of seismic attributes, we could pick up hidden reservoir lithology and physical property information from the actual seismic data, strengthen seismic data application in actual work, to ensure the objectivity of the results. In this paper, the channel sand body distribution in south eighth district of oilfield Saertu is predicted through seismic data root-mean-square amplitude and frequency division to identify sand body boundaries, predict the distribution area channel sand body characteristics successfully, which consistent with the sedimentary facies distribution. The result proves that seismic attribute analysis has good practicability in channel sand body prediction and sedimentary facies description.

Feldspar dissolution is a common feature in clastic rock reservoirs of petroliferous basins and has an important influence on reservoir quality. However, the effect of feldspar dissolution on reservoir quality varies under different depositional environments and diagenetic systems. The study area in this paper is located in the Baikouquan Formation in the northwestern margin of the Junggar Basin, which is significantly influenced by feldspar dissolution. Based on the analyses of core and thin section observations, QEMSEM, XRD, SEM, CL, fluorescence, and image analysis software combined with logging and physical property data, this study shows that feldspar dissolution in the subaqueous distributary channel of a fan delta plain, which has good original physical properties and low mud contents, significantly improves the properties of the reservoir. The main reasons for this are as follows: (1) the sedimentary facies with good original properties and low mud content is a relatively open system in the burial stage. The acidic fluids needed for feldspar dissolution are mostly derived from organic acids associated with the source rocks and migrate to the good-permeability area of the reservoir; (2) the by-products of feldspar dissolution, such as authigenic clay minerals and authigenic quartz, are transported by pore water in a relatively open diagenetic system and then precipitated in a relatively closed diagenetic system; and (3) the clay minerals produced by feldspar dissolution in different diagenetic environments and diagenetic stages have different effects on the reservoir. When the kaolinite content is less than 3%, the illite content is less than 4%, and the chlorite content is less than 12%, the clay minerals have a positive effect on the porosity. These clay minerals can reduce porosity and block pore throats when their contents are larger than these values.
