Main Controlling Factors of Hydrocarbon Accumulation at Different Phases: A Study on the Main Fault Depression Zones of Central H Basin

Abstract

To understand the oil and gas accumulation rules and main controlling factors of H Basin at different phases, approaches such as reservoir dissection and analysis on the spatial allocation of reservoir accumulation conditions are adopted to divide the reservoir of the main fault depression zones of central H Basin into early and late phases. The widely-spread oil and gas at early phase are obviously more than that of the late phase. The main controlling factors of reservoir accumulation at early phase include source rocks area, antithetic faults - tilted upheavals and sand body of fan delta front subfacies while that of the late phase include sources rocks area, inverted structure and long-term developed fractures. The achievement of the study expounded in this paper is significantly important to correctly understand the oil and gas accumulation rules of complicated faulted-block fields and guide the oil and gas exploration activities.
