Hydrocarbon Accumulation Characteristics in Cretaceous System Hailaer Basin

Abstract

Based on the sequence stratigraphy principle, reservoir forming elements has been detailed analysis in Cretaceous system of Hailaer basin, by using core, logging and 3-D seismic data. The study shows that the thick mudstone layer in the transgressive systems tract of the super-sequence is good regional source rock .and regional caprock, meanwhile the sandbody developed in transgressive systems tract and highstand systems of the super-sequence become the regional reservoir of depression. The main hydrocarbon migration pathway is uncomformable surface, fault, frame-sandstone, or that the hydrocarbon born in source rock went into the sandstone of sublacustrine fan directly, and then, lithologic reservoirs was formed.
