Formation conditions and characteristics of large-scale unconsolidated lithologic sandstone reservoirs in Bohai Bay Basin
The shallow Neogene reservoirs dominate reserves and production in Bohai oilfield. As exploration matures
discovery of large-scale shallow reserves in Bohai Sea has become increasingly challenging. To ensure sustained increase in reserve and production
this study systematically evaluates the main controlling factors and accumulation models of large-scale shallow unconsolidated lithologic sandstone reservoirs in Bohai Sea
integrating the configuration of petroleum system elements with enrichment patterns. Through a reassessment of shallow hydrocarbon migration conditions
it elucidates the relationship between shallow enrichment and the primary and secondary migration of deep-seated hydrocarbons
as well as the mechanisms governing shallow enrichment and depletion. Consequently
a convergence ridge mode for shallow hydrocarbon enrichment is established. The research results indicate as follows. (1) Large-scale shallow hydrocarbon accumulation in Bohai Sea is governed by catchment ridge types and lithological trap scales. (2) Catchment ridges serve as preferential pathways for primary and secondary hydrocarbon migration
with their specific types controlling the accumulation of shallow reservoirs beyond the source kitchens. (3) Large-scale unconsolidated sandstone lithologic traps
characterized by dendritic sand bodies
dictate hydrocarbon enrichment. Guided by these new insights
significant breakthroughs in shallow hydrocarbon exploration have been achieved across multiple structural zones in Bohai Sea
leading to a series of hundred-million-ton discoveries. The innovations in migration-accumulation theory and technology
along with the subsequent exploration successes
not only facilitate future efforts in Bohai Sea but also provide strategic references and high scientific value for exploration in the onshore Bohai Bay Basin and mature oil provinces across eastern China.
