Abstract:

 Limited by lacking data points, effective reconstruction of lithofacies palaeogeography becomes one of the critical factors for exploration zone optimization of Cambrian deep dolomite in northern Tarim Basin. The data from 14 drilling wells and 4 outcrops as well as seismic data were applied to discuss the lithofacies palaeogeography characteristics of Cambrian deep dolomite, describe platform margin characteristics and try to clarify facies differentiation inside the platform. The results show that the Cambrian platform margin in the northern Tarim Basin could be divided into Lunnan fault-controlled steep slope type and northern sedimentary type with gentle slope, the sedimentary differentiation is obvious inside the platform, and main sedimentary units such as intraplatform shoal, gypsum-bearing dolomitite flat, gypsum-salt lake and depression can be well recognized. Reservoir-seal assemblage in the Cambrian dolomite is controlled by the characteristics of platform margin and sedimentary differentiation inside the platform, so it is considered that the favorable reservoir-seal assemblages are platform margin reef-shoal, back-reef shoal dolomite and gypsum-salt rock and argillaceous dolomite developed under long-term inherited palaeohigh. The reef-shoal located behind the platform margin belt and near the sea side of the lagoon are favorable reservoirs with caprock of tight carbonate, which can form good reservoir-seal assemblages. Platform margin belt in gentle slope in northern Tarim Basin is a set of dolomite reservoir for algal mound and reef-bank complex with caprock of Middle-Lower Cambrian dolomicrite, gypsum dolomite and mud dolomite and such dense layers, of which the reservoir-seal assemblage is superior to that in Lunnan area and has better exploration prospects.
