Abstract

Based on elaborate correlation to substratum of Es 29 sand group in Shinan area, Dongying sag,the middle-fan of Liangjialou subaqueous fan can be divided in 9 micro-facieses: braided channel , braided point bar, lateral lateral branching channel, end of branching channel, washover fan, low slope, high slope. There are obviously differences in changes of sand-grain-size and plane distribution among these microfacieses, the formation of braided point bar and lateral were derived from lateral migration of braided channel with little gradient and flatter subaqueous landform. The elaborate division to microfacieses can help us to realize deposition of subaqueous fan and the distribution of remaining oil, and adjust the development plan to oil field.
