Abstract

The detail sedimentation study of the Middle Jurassic outcrops consisting of Xiufeng, Ershierzhan, Emuerhe and Kaikukang formations respectively, indicated that alluvial fan, fandelta, braided river delta, lake floor fan and lacustrine facies were developed from Xiufeng to Kaikukang formations in the Middle Jurassic of the Mohe Basin. The alluvial fan and fandelta facies were developed in the Xiufeng formation, the braided river delta in the Ershierzhan and Emuerhe formations, alluvial fan and fandelta in the Kaikukang formation, and lake floor fan and lacustrine facies in all above formations. The sedimentary evolution from Xiufeng to Kaikukang formation was as alluvial fanfandeltalacustrine to braided riverbraided river deltalacustrine to alluvial fanfan deltalacustrine. Such a sedimentary evolution resulted in the development of source rocks, reservoirs and cap rocks. Therefore, there is petroleum potential in the Middle Jurassic of the Mohe Basin .
