Abstract
- A nearshore terminal fan is a special water system formed in arid environments. The characterisation of its thin-channel sand bodies has long been a challenge restricting oil and gas exploration. This study takes the Suning area of the Raoyang Sag as an example and uses the principles of seismic sedimentology to conduct seismic sedimentary research on the nearshore terminal fan of the first member of the Palaeogene Shahejie Formation (Es1) based on three-dimensional seismic, logging, and core analysis. Seven fourth-order sequences (SQV7) were identified within Es1, deposited by a fluvial river system terminating at the contracting bank of a lake. Prograding terminal fan sedimentary facies on a gentle slope zone were observed in the root mean square seismic attributes after spectral decomposition. We have successfully resolved the sandstone within the studied terminal fan system using a 90° phase conversion of the seismic data and red-green-blue (RGB) fusion of the various seismic attributes. The upper subsegment of the Shahejie Formation developed extensive nearshore terminal fan sedimentation, and the seismic sedimentological response characteristics were mainly channel-like and strip-shaped geomorphic systems deposited on gentle slope zones, indicating distributary channels and distal basin sedimentation. This study enriches our understanding of nearshore fans and provides ideas for predicting favourable sand bodies in this type of sedimentary facies.
