Abstract

Abstract

Recently, the researches on structure controls on sandbodies have provided a new method for predicting petroleum reservoirs. The Yitong (伊通) graben is situated in the northern section of the Tan-Lu (郯-庐) fault system in eastern China. It was characterized by dual properties of strike-slip and extension in Cenozoic. Two types of intrabasinal structures were identified as oblique fault and transverse uplift in the graben. The oblique faults arranged en echelon in plain and locally presented negative rosette structures on seismic profile, so they were closely derived from strike-slip movement of the northwestern boundary faults. Moreover, these oblique faults were divided to five zones. The three transverse uplifts, located corresponding to flattened southeast boundary faults, were mainly originated by displacement-gradient folding due to segmental extensional activities of southeast boundary faults. The large-scale sandbodies of subaqueous fan facies and fan delta facies had developed at the two types of intrabasinal structure zone. Based on analyzing the seismic facies, logging facies and seismic attribute extractions, and on discovering many incised valleys at the oblique fault zones, the two types of intrabasinal structures were revealed to have conducted drainage entering basin and further dispersing, and to have consequently controlled the development and distribution of sandbodies.
