Abstract

The regional geological background has indicated that Miocene stratigraphic and lithologic traps may be created in Huizhou area.Studies on creation conditions,controlling factors and distribution pattern of the stratigraphic and lithologic traps are very important to continuous oil and gas exploration in the area.Based on establishing Miocene sequence stratigraphy framework with high resolution in Huizhou area,the configuration is analyzed for various sequences,and the formation mechanism,distribution and control on sedimentary system are researched for various types of slope-break zone.The sequence boundaries and the slope-break zones are the important factors to control creation of stratigraphic and lithologic traps in the area.There are three types of stratigraphic and lithologic traps with exploration potential,and the HZ 27-3 lowstand system tract has been drilled successfully.
