Abstract
Abstract Based on the merged 3D seismic data, well logging, formation testing, analysis and testing data, the structural evolution, sedimentary reservoirs, thermal evolution of source rocks were investigated of Paleogene Kongdian Formation in the trough area of Cangdong sag, Bohai Bay Basin. A conventional-unconventional hydrocarbon accumulation pattern in the trough area of rifted basin was revealed. The reservoir forming elements in the trough area of Cangdong sag have a zonation feature in terms of reservoirs and source rocks. There are two types of reservoir forming models, primary trough and reformed trough. The formation and evolution of trough controlled the orderly distribution of conventional oil to unconventional oil in the trough. Particularly, structural reservoirs occur in the upper part of the trough, stratigraphic-lithologic reservoirs are likely to form in the delta front deposits at the outer ring of trough, the middle ring transitional belt is the favorable site for tight oil reservoirs, while the fine grain deposits zone in the inner ring is shale oil and gas exploration area. The study has pointed out the new domains and directions for searching reserves in the secondary exploration of mature oilfields.
