Abstract:

In order to clarify the spatial configuration of sand bodies under the dual-provenance background in Chang 9 member in Jiyuan area,Ordos basin,the sedimentary characteristics of Chang 9 member were determined by using the core,logging,test and production data. On this basis,the sand body architecture of Chang 9 member was dissected level by level to understand the development of sand bodies under the dual-provenance background and to characterize the architectural elements and their assemblage and distribution. The results reveal that there are 8 types of skeleton architectural elements in Chang 9 member,which are different from region to region: braided channel,abandoned channel and cross-bank deposits dominated by underwater distributary channel and interdistributary bay in the west; and estuary sand bar,front sheet sand and underwater natural levee in the east. On the plane,the architectural element of braided channel extends farther with continuous distribution,the architectural element of abandoned channel extends shortly with intermittent distribution,the architectural element of underwater distributary channel extends farther with discontinuous distribution,and the architectural element of estuary sand bar is usually in the side rear of the underwater distributary channel with poor continuity. Vertically,the superimposition and assemblage of the architectural elements of skeleton sand bodies become worse from bottom to top,and the architectural elements of braided river delta system in the west display better development scale and degree than those of meandering river delta system in the east.
