Abstract: Yancheng sag is characterized by developed faults, which has influenced the fault sealing evaluation. According to previous studies, integrated with real geologic conditions, Pan-1 and Yan-3 faults are taken as typical faults to develop the criterion for fault lateral sealing evaluation. Using the mud smear coefficient, the criterion is given by 1.26. According to the sustain maximum normal pressure of mud plastic distortion and cracking, the effective normal pressure of fault vertical sealing ranges from 10 MPa to 22 MPa. The study shows that the sealing of fault penetrating into the basement (Member Fu-1) in Yancheng sag is characterized by regions: the south area is better, the north area is worse, such a varied feature is accordant with the real geologic situation.

Key words: Yancheng sag, fault sealing, mud smear coefficient, fault-section normal pressure, seismic interval velocity
