“…adopted by Zhongyuan Oilfield and core observation results, a hierarchical architecture partitioning scheme is proposed from the viewpoint of sedimentary origin on the basis of the proposed classification of Miall (Miall, 1985(Miall, , 2013(Miall, , 2016 and the previous research results. The reservoir of shallow-water delta front in Wen 79 Southen Block in Zhongyuan Oilfield is divided into ten grades.…”

The sand body distribution is relatively limited in this block, the lens-shaped sandbodies are more developed, the change of intergranular sandbody is fast and the internal architecture of the sand body is complex, which results in the difficulties of the arrangement of horizontal wells in the study area and the tapping of remaining oil in high water reservoirs. In this paper, taking an example of S2L4 10 sandbodies in Wen 79 Southern Block, rich drilling data, core data, logging data and geological research results accumulated over many years in Wennan Oilfield were applied to discuss the anatomical method of the reservoir architecture unit in the underwater distributary channel in the shallow delta front, the hierarchy of the internal architecture of the reservoir and the anatomy of the single sand body. On the basis of this, the sequence of the underwater distributary channel in the composite channel is determined by the cross section and the source profile. Under the guidance of the sedimentology principle, the formation process of the underwater distributary channel is restored and the evolution process of underwater distributary channel is recovered.

“…Although there remains considerable debate as to the merits of sequence stratigraphy (Embry, 1995;Dickinson, 2003;Catuneanu et al, 2009;Bhattacharya, 2011), it is widely practiced, especially in the oil and gas industry (Miall, 2016). This paper addresses the question, what problem did sequence stratigraphy solve and why has it been so successful?…”

“…Brice(1974) put forward four main categories of meander loops, including simple symmetrical, simple asymmetrical, compound symmetrical, and compound asymmetrical. Miall(1985Miall( , 2013Miall( , 2014Miall( , 2016 indicated that the best clues were always determined on the visible field outcrops, which could be understood from the configuration elements to the evolution of deposition. Through the three-dimensional model of simulating the migration process of meandering, Willis and Tang(2010) further demonstrated the translation, rotation, expansion and complex patterns of the meandering loops.…”

The meandering process has always been the topic through years and still remains a lot of unsolved mysteries. One of the most important focus is the migration architectures and models that the meandering channels follow. This article chooses the Nowitna River as the study object of the typical meandering river with high migratory processes. Though the high-resolution historical satellite images by the techniques of Google Earth and ACME Mapper, 50 meanders in the river is studied and 6 of which are chosen for meticulous characterization. During the process, the planform structure of meandering channel is re-examined and 29 kinds of architecture elements are systematically established. More importantly, in order to make a fine quantitative characterization of the channel structure of meandering river, 5 kinds of characterization parameters are proposed, extraordinarily, the parameters of the difference of along-current deflection angle, a difference of counter-current deflection angle, and expansion coefficient, these three are firstly brought forward and applied introduction. In addition, the conception of sinuosity index and curvature are also different from the original definition. Though these architectures elements the meandering process and migration structure of the Nowitna River is demonstrated. 6 kinds of planform migration structures is revealed with the quantitative characterization of characterization parameters and 9 species of meandering channel migration patterns are concluded and discussed.
