New study identifies key sand reservoirs in Liaoxi Depression!
The researchers studied the Shahejie Formation in Liaoxi Depression and identified five sequences without any gaps between them. Different types of sedimentary environments were found, like fan deltas and beach-bars. They also discovered favorable sand bodies in lowstand areas near uplifts and deep water gravity flow sand in sub-sags. These sand bodies, along with surrounding mudstones and shales, can create good reservoirs in uplifts, slopes, and faults.
