Abstract: Based on comprehensive analyses of lithology, electrical property, sedimentary structure, rock texture and oil-bearing characteristics of borehole section and surface outcrop, it is considered that sandy conglomerate reservoir in northern Turpan-Hami basin is of fan-delta origin, which is characterized by close provenance, coarse debris, shallow facies belt and low composition maturity.The sediments are dominated by drag flow.It is subdivided into three subfacies (fan-delta plain, fan-delta front and profan-delta)and nine microfacies.Facies model was established.It is suggested that braided channel of fan-delta plain and underwater channel of fan-delta front possess better reservoir quality and entrapment condition, thereby the target for oil and gas exploration in this area.
