Abstract

Based on the data of the well logging and drilling cores,the authors have observed 15 cores.They have analysed the petrology characters,sedimentary structures,biological fossils of the Chang 8-6 oil formations of Triassic Yanchang Formation in the Huanxian area.All the results suggest that in Chang 6 develops front-delta facies;in Chang 7 develops deep lake to half deep lake facies and turbidite fan and in Chang 8 develops prodelta facies.The front-delta facies is mainly distributed over the southwest of the study area and the turbidite fan is mainly distributed over the eastern of the study area.
