ABSTRACT
Lithostratigraphic plays are one of the major targets for reserve growth in the nonmarine Songliao Basin, China. In this article, an integrated approach was adopted that applies principles and techniques of sequence stratigraphy and seismic
sedimentology to the study of higher order
sequences
,
depositional
environments, and lithostratigraphic trapping styles. In the Sifangtuozi area, 20 higher order (fourth- or fifth-order)
sequences
in four third-order
sequences
were identified in an Upper Cretaceous interval using well and
seismic
data. Core description and wireline log classification helped identify distributary channel fill, distributary mouth bar, sheet sand, distal bar, prodelta/shallow lake, and semideep to deep lake deposits in fluvial-dominated deltaic systems. In two three-dimensional (3-D)
seismic
survey areas,
seismic
inversion and 90
phasing of
seismic
data converted
seismic
traces to pseudolithologic logs. Stratal slicing made it possible to interpolate and extrapolate well-data–derived sequence and facies interpretation to whole 3-D
seismic
surveys and then make broader interpretations and predictions on sand content, sandstone thickness, and geomorphological information. Play analysis using sandstone isopach or amplitude stratal slices and superimposed structural maps identified potential accumulations in small structural, lithostratigraphic, and combination traps. These traps are all significantly controlled by lithology, reservoir distribution, sealing conditions, and closure.
