Lithofacies paleogeography and characteristics of large-scale reservoirs of the Middle Triassic Leikoupo Formation in Sichuan Basin, China

Material exploration discoveries have been achieved in the Middle Triassic Leikoupo Formation in the Sichuan Basin in recent years, and a large-scale reservoir is one of the key factors controlling reservoir formation. In this paper, the lithofacies paleogeographic map of the Leikoupo Formation is p...

In this paper, the lithofacies paleogeographic map of the Leikoupo Formation is prepared based on field outcrops, exploratory wells, well logs, and seismic data. The characteristics of large-scale reservoirs have been analyzed, which resulted in three new summarized understandings: (1) At the Leikoupo stage, the Sichuan Basin was relatively closed in the south, east and north, and the seawater entered through the west side, so it was a relatively closed carbonate platform; during the sedimentary stage of Lei I and Lei II members, it was a weakly fringed carbonate platform. In the sedimentary period of Lei III (T2l3) and Lei IV (T2l4) members, it was a rimmed carbonate platform. (2) The sedimentary facies including the platform margin, open platform, restricted platform, and evaporative platform were developed in the Leikoupo Formation; these were mainly the restricted platform facies covering the subfacies of the lagoon, intra-platform shoal, and tidal flat. Two types of hydrocarbon reservoirs, namely the platform-margin shoal and intra-platform shoal reservoirs, were developed in this period. (3) Two sets of large-scale reef beach facies reservoirs were developed in the Leikoupo Formation, one is the platform margin reef beach facies of Lei III (T2l3) and Lei IV (T2l4) members in northwestern Sichuan with a large thickness (generally larger than 50 m); the other one is the intra-platform shoal facies in the lower part of Lei I Member (T2l1) in Central Sichuan with a small thickness, stable distribution, and a large area (larger than 20,000 km2) forming large-scale reservoirs. The two types of large-scale reservoirs experienced multi-stage karstification transformation to become reservoirs with a good quality, laying the material basis for large-scale oil & gas reservoir formation. The research results have important theoretical and practical significance to improve the understanding on the sedimentation and reservoirs of the Leikoupo Formation in the Sichuan Basin, and to provide guidance for the oil and gas exploration in this region.Wei YangMancang LiuGuoqi WeiHui JinWuren XieSaijun WuNan SuQiuying ZhuCuiguo HaoXiaodan WangElsevierarticleClosed platformSichuan BasinLeikoupo FormationLithofacies paleogeographyLarge-scale reservoirOil and gas explorationGas industryTP751-762ENJournal of Natural Gas Geoscience, Vol 6, Iss 5, Pp 255-268 (2021)
