Abstract

For a more accurate reservoir prediction of braided delta front, the method of High Resolution Sequence Stratigraphy was adopted in Moxizhuang Oil Field with the assistance of Comprehensive Prediction Error Filter Analysis. J1s2 was divided into 2 fifth-order base-level cycles, 5 sixth-order base-level cycles, with the turnaround surfaces of base-level rise to fall, and time-equal correlation of shallow braided delta front was achieved. Through study of microfacies correlation in High Resolution Sequence Stratigraphy frame, it is apparent that base-level cycles control microfacies distribution, and furthermore reservoir distribution: reservoirs around turnaround surface of base-level falling to rising are thick and laterally connected, while reservoirs near the middle of base-level falling and base-level rising are relatively thinner and less laterally connected, and reservoirs close to the beginning of base-level falling and the end of base-level rising are undeveloped.

Highlights

  • Moxizhuang Oilfield in the middle of Junggar Basin is located in Gurbantunggut Desert in Mosuowan Town, Shihezi City, covering an area of 240Km2

  • J1S2 and the overlying J1S1 fourth order sequence are in contact with the maximum lake flood surface, mainly lacustrine deposits composed of mudstone and silty mudstone, etc., located in the baseline of mudstone in the large section of spontaneous potential curve (SP) curve and the peak position of natural gamma ray curve (GR)

  • The provenance of J1S2 sediments in Moxizhuang Oilfield is from the northeast direction [29,30,31], and the direction normal to provenance direction is the preferred direction for profile comparison analysis of underwater distributary channel composite sand bodies [32]

Summary

Introduction

Moxizhuang Oilfield in the middle of Junggar Basin is located in Gurbantunggut Desert in Mosuowan Town, Shihezi City, covering an area of 240Km2. The main reservoir is braided river shallow water delta front subfacies of the 2nd Member of Sangonghe Formation (J1S2), Shuixigou Group, Lower Jurassic [1,2,3,4]. The reservoir of this oilfield is characterized by low porosity and low permeability [5], which are mainly underwater distributary channel microfacies sand bodies [6,7]. In order to carry out the reservoir correlation and distribution prediction more accurately, the development model of braided river delta front is established by using the
