Abstract: Large sand-gravel braided river delta was deposited in the Jurassic Ahe Formation in northern Kuqa Depression of Tarim Basin,which is an important target for oil and gas exploration. However,the rapid change of lithofacies, complex sand body architecture, relatively tight reservoir and strong heterogeneity restrict the exploration and development of oil and gas. Through the establishment of outcrop basal section,transverse sand body tracking,sand body configuration description,sampling and experimental analysis of sandstone with different lithofacies,the vertical construction,transverse distribution regularity and reservoir properties of different lithofacies were analyzed. The results show that there are three types of sedimentary formations formed on the longitudinal of Ahe Formation:large-scale sandy gravel braided channel-lateral accretion bar-longitudinal sand bar,mediumsized sandy gravel braided channel-transverse sand bar-lakeside composite sand body,and small-sized sandy braided channel-inclined sand bar. Among them,the reservoir performance of medium-sized channel-transverse sand bar is relatively better,and the favorable reservoirs are mainly trough cross bedding sandy fine conglomerate, tabular cross bedding medium sandstone and low angle parallel bedding fine sandstone. The lower braided river delta plain and front are favorable exploration directions.

Key words: reservoir characteristics, braided river delta, sand body configuration, Ahe Formation, Jurassic, Kuqa Depression
