Abstract:

The Triassic Lower Karamay Formation(T2k1)represents the primary target for petroleum exploration in the Xia 77 area,located on the northwest margin of Junggar Basin. Integrating data from drilling,core observations,well logging,and associated analytical experiments,this study applies fundamental principles of sedimentology to analyze the sedimentary facies architecture and evolutionary characteristics of the T2k1. The findings reveal the following: (1)The formation was deposited within a shallow-water fan delta system,which is subdivided into two main subfacies: the fan delta plain and the fan delta front. The fan delta front can be further classified into inner and outer front subfacies.(2)Within the fan delta plain,three gravity flow-dominated microfacies were identified: braided channels,floodplains,and debris flows. In the fan delta inner front,two traction flow-dominated microfacies are recognized—subaqueous distributary channels and subaqueous distributary bays. The fan delta outer front is characterized by three traction flow-induced microfacies: subaqueous distributary channels,subaqueous distributary bays,and mouth bars.(3)During the depositional period of the Lower Karamay Formation,the lake basin underwent a gradual deepening,transitioning from shallow to deeper water conditions. This hydrodynamic shift resulted in a regressive sedimentary sequence in response to overall lake transgression. Laterally,the progradational-to-retrogradational evolution of the system led to a northeastward backstepping of the fan delta plain,inner front,and outer front subfacies.

摘要:

准噶尔盆地西北缘夏77地区三叠系克下组(克拉玛依下亚组,T2k1)是油气勘探的重点目的层系。综合钻井、岩心、录测井和分析化验等资料,运用沉积学基本原理和方法,开展了克下组的沉积相及其演化特征研究。 结果表明: (1)夏77地区克下组主要发育浅水扇三角洲沉积,划分为扇三角洲平原和扇三角洲前缘亚相,前缘亚相又分内前缘和外前缘。(2)扇三角洲平原亚相发育重力流成因辫状河道、漫滩和碎屑流3种微相;内前缘识别出水下分流河道和水下分流间湾2种微相,牵引流成因较强、重力流成因较弱;外前缘发育牵引流成因水下分流河道、水下分流间湾和河口坝3种微相。(3)克下组沉积时期,湖盆水体由浅变深,地层表现为湖侵退积沉积序列,平面上,扇三角洲平原、内前缘和外前缘亚相向东北方向后退。
