Abstract

Abstract

The ancient Pearl River delta (PRD) is an important target for oil and gas exploration in the Pearl River Mouth basin, whereas its overall sedimentary characteristics have not been fully revealed, limiting the recognition of multi-type sand bodies and favorable traps in the future. Utilizing heavy mineral data, core, well logs, and large-scale 3D seismic data, we comprehensively analyze the seismic geomorphology of the ancient PRD to accurately reconstruct the distribution of sedimentary facies and the macro-sedimentary patterns of the Middle Miocene ancient PRD. Heavy mineral data analysis results show that the Paleo-Pearl River distributary channel system mainly originated from two main channel branches on the west and the east sides; thus, the basic two-branch pattern is determined in the Paleo-Pearl River delta. And the characteristics of heavy mineral assemblages on both sides are similar to those of the modern Xijiang River and the Dongjiang-Beijiang rivers, respectively, suggesting a similarity between flow pathways in the Miocene and the modern Pearl River. Meanwhile, seismic geomorphology analysis results of the distributary channel and the shore-parallel sand bodies in the distal ancient PRD show that the paleo-delta may be influenced by a hybrid dynamic process of fluvial, wave, and tide. What's more, a continuous southwest paleocurrent may have an obvious control on the overall deflected facies pattern of the ancient PRD.
