Abstract

Abstract

Significant progress has been made in applying the source-to-sink system to depositional process restoration, sand distribution control, and sandbody enrichment prediction in continental basins. However, in settings with multiple source areas and multiple structural slope breaks, research of the marginal depositional facies belts, sandbody pinch-outs, and the development of lithologic traps remains scarce. Taking the southern slope belt of Qikou Sag as an example, based on drilling data, laboratory data, and full-coverage 3D seismic data, we comprehensively analyze source-to-sink system architecture and genetic model of lithologic traps. Firstly, division and correlation of provenance systems are carried out. Then, the internal architecture and syndepositional relationships of tectonic slope-break zones are analyzed. Finally, the configuration of symbiotic structural slope-break zones is discussed from source to sink, and sandbody enrichment zone and pinch-out zone are identified. A total of 15 lithologic traps have been newly discovered or confirmed in the slope zone, covering a total area of 21.5 km². The research indicates that lithologic traps within the slope belt are controlled by structural slope-break zones and depositional facies types, the most favorable locations occur in the semi-sheltered zone and isolated platform areas, where three main trap types develop: laterally-sealed sandstone pinch-outs, frontally-sealed sandstone pinch-outs, and isolated pinch-out traps. Research on sand control and trap development under the source-to-sink system framework can effectively predict lithologic traps within slope belts. This methodology shows significant potential for lithologic reservoirs exploration in complex slope belts.
