The Types of Sedimentary Facies and Rock Characteristics of Xujiaweizi Fault Depression in Songliao Basin

Abstract

In the Shahezi Formation of Xujiaweizi fault depression in the Songliao Basin mainly tow sedimentary system is developed: the Xudong gentle slope belt and Xuxi fault zone systems. However, this area is little studied as there have been only limited efforts in exploration. Based on the latest drilling, outcrop data, description of core observation and laboratory microscope identification, it has been concluded that four mainly sedimentary facies are developed in this area: braided river delta, fan delta, lacustrine facies and sublacustrine fan. The subaqueous distribute channel is the main type of the fan delta front while the braided channel is the main type of the braided river delta. A number of clastic, sandstone and mudstone are developed in these two types of sedimentary facies. We can use it to make further study of dividing into micro-facies.
