The reservoir in different parts of buried-hill draping zone is often quite different, so it is of great significance to clarify the reservoir characteristics for exploration and development. Based on core, well logging, seismic data and production data, reservoir characteristics of oil layer Ⅱ in the lower second member of Dongying Formation of L oilfield, Bohai Bay Basin, offshore eastern China are systematically studied. Analyses of seismic facies, well-seismic combination, paleogeomorphology, and sedimentary characteristics are carried out. Sediment source supply, lake level and buried hill basement geomorphology all contribute to reservoir quality. The research suggests that the different parts of buried-hill draping zone can be divided into four types. Reservoir thickness and physical properties vary. The area where the provenance direction is consistent with the ancient valley direction is a favorable location for the development of high-quality reservoirs. Under the guidance of the results, oilfield production practices in L oilfield offshore China are successful. Knowledge gained from study of L oilfield has application to the development of other similar fields.

Volcanic effusive facies (VEF) and volcanic conduit facies (VCF) are two important facies units that can be found in a volcanic reservoir or edifice. Because VEF and VCF generally exhibit opposing seismic reflection characteristics, few studies have been applied to simultaneous characterization of the two facies in seismic data. We have developed an integrated 3D seismic data attribute-based characterization technique of VEF and VCF in the BZ34-9 Block, Bohai Bay Basin, eastern China. Our method is based mainly on the 3D visualization of a thresholding display so as to separately describe the strong-amplitude reflection of the VEF with its original amplitude attribute and the weak-amplitude chaotic reflection of the VCF with its variance-cube attribute. The detailed workflow comprises four steps, including seismic facies analysis, characterization of the VEF, characterization of the VCF, and merging a display of the two volcanic-facies units. The resulting 3D image of the different volcanic facies described in the BZ34-9 Block should be able to be viewed from any perspective for a better understanding of the related genesis mechanisms of the first and second members of the Shahejie (Es12) and Dongying Formations (Ed). In total, 28 volcanic edifices have been identified on the basis of the proposed method, among which three volcanic edifices exhibited inherited eruptions, in the Es12 and the Ed. Volcanic edifices in the Es12 are distributed locally in the central part of the BZ34-9 Block, showing a central eruption style, whereas those of the Ed are characterized by a widespread distribution in the southern gentle slope of the BZ34-9 Block, revealing a composite, center-fissure eruption style. The approach should be convenient to operate and would be effective in characterizing different volcanic facies simultaneously. This application can serve as a useful reference for other basins or regions with obvious volcanic influence.

Tectono-paleogeomorphologic frameworks exert a major control on sediment dispersal patterns and types of depositional systems, both of which influence reservoir geometry and quality. In this study, we analyze the framework of the [Formula: see text] Member of the Dongying Formation in QHD29-2 Block, Bohai Bay Basin, China. The framework is constructed through (1) conventional sedimentologic study of single-well facies, cumulative frequency curves, and thin section analysis, (2) seismic stratigraphic interpretation of sectional seismic facies, and (3) seismic sedimentologic mapping through stratal slicing and seismic multiattribute analysis. The structural system is marked by a master boundary fault in the Shijiutuo Uplift that has greater displacement at its center than at the propagating fault tips. The resulting paleogeomorphologic architecture is characterized by a steep slope in the central part of the boundary fault and two gentle slopes at fault tips. Sediment dispersal patterns indicate that fan-shaped and lobate proximal fan deltas were rapidly deposited in the central steep slope and belt-shaped distal river deltas were deposited in the gentle slopes after long-distance transport. Proposed sediment dispersal patterns for the central fault segment and the propagating fault tips should serve as a useful reference for the stratal geometry, depositional patterns, distribution of depositional facies and of potential reservoir and source rocks, and evaluation of hydrocarbon reservoirs in extensional rift basins in eastern China and similar basins around the world.
