Abstract

Benxi formation is the main gas producing strata in Ansai gas field. In order to clarify the characteristics of sedimentary microfacies and exploration prospects in this area, based on the interpretation of core and logging data, combined with sample analysis and testing, the distribution characteristics of sedimentary microfacies and sand bodies in Benxi formation were studied. The results show that the sedimentary rocks in Benxi formation are mainly medium-fine grained quartz sandstone, with a small amount of debris quartz sandstone. Tidal flat sedimentary system is mainly developed in Benxi formation, and three sedimentary microfacies are further divided into sand flat, mixed flat and mud flat. The distribution of sand flats is limited, and the sand bodies are scattered in the sedimentary area in patch form, so the connectivity is poor. Only in the mid-west, the connectivity of sand bodies is relatively good. The distribution of sand bodies in Benxi formation is much more complicated than previously thought. Benxi formation is a tidal flat-delta composite sedimentary body, and tidal action has obvious destruction and redistribution effects on preexisting delta sand bodies. The favorable zones are mainly distributed in the vast middle sand flat.
