Abstract: The west part of Qaidam basin underwent the lacustrine transgression during E1+2-N11, followed by entering the regression in N21, with large-scale uplfting of Kunlun mountains situated in the southwestern margin of Qaidam basin. Hence the depocenter of lacustrine basin commenced moving from southwest to northeast. Under such a background, Youshashan area was subjected to the deposits of braided stream delta-saucer lake in N1-N12. The XII-I oil measures in Y oushashan oilfield normally assume anticycle deposits shoaling upward. Below VII oil measure (N1) is dominated by braided stream delta front-shore saucer lake deposits; over this oil measure (N12) by braided stream delta plain-front deposits. Laterally, II-V blocks are contolled by the structures in reservoir distribution, with stable sedimentation, while I and VI blocks are mostly influenced by lithogical factors.

Key words: Qaidam basin, Youshashan oilfield, sedimentary facies
