Lithofacies Architecture and Distribution Patterns of Lacustrine Mixed Fine-Grained Rocks —a Case Study of Permian Lucaogou Formation in Jimsar Sag, NW China

As the controlling effect of complex lithofacies of lacustrine mixed fine-grained rocks on the shale oil sweet spot remains unclear, core, outcrop, general logging, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) logging, testing, and production data were used to study the types, combination pattern, and genesis o...

The special type belongs to thick clastic rock relatively independent in the mixed fine-grained rocks with a high development degree of sand. The sand is a higher quality reservoir with properties of tight reservoir. It often appears as stacking of single cycle sand. 3) The different lithofacies architectures in the mixed fine-grained rocks have significant differences in distribution. The gradual change type is mainly composed of mudstone, dolomitic siltstone, and sandy dolomite, dolomitic siltstone, and mudstone, and appears in lenticular shape overlapping with each other on the plane.

The special type is mainly composed of mudstone and felsic siltstone, and mudstone, and turns up as lenses of different sizes on the plane.Senlin YinBaiyu ZhuYouxin WuYouxin WuFeng XuFrontiers Media S.A.articlemixed fine-grained rockslithofacies architectureshale oilUAVsweet-spotlucaogou formationScienceQENFrontiers in Earth Science, Vol 9 (2021)
