Abstract:

Sand injectite is a special kind of sand bodies which are formed by the remobilization of the original depositional sand. More attentions have been paid on sand injectites after 1980s by the discovering of series hydrocarbon reservoirs. The research status of sand injectites is introduced. The 3Darchitectural model, the outcrop characters and the recognization cretials of sandstone injectite in cores, well logging and seismic responses are summarized. The trigger mechanism and flowregime of sand injectites are concluded, and its geological significance is discussed. Sand injectites have important impaction for petroleum exploration and development, and it may be a new kind of lithological stratigraphic traps in exploration and development in China.
