Discoveries of Hydrocarbon Accumulation in the Yangjiang Sag of the Pearl River Mouth Basin and Implications

A number of medium-sized oilfields and oil-bearing structures have been discovered in the Yangjiang Sag of the Pearl River Mouth Basin in the past two years,which is a breakthrough of the nearly 40 years of exploration in the Pearl River Mouth Basin(east area).The physical property of main oil-bearing intervals in the Miocene Hanjiang and Zhujiang Formations is well characterized by primarily medium-high porosity and medium-high permeability.And the oil and gas production is high.These discoveries are of great significance for the future exploration of the Pearl River Mouth Basin.First of all,a good hydrocarbon source rocks is the prerequisite for successful exploration operations.Provenances within the basins dominate the sedimentation during the depositional period of the Wenchang Formation of the Enping 20 Sub-sag and the Enping 21 Sub-sag in the eastern Yangjiang Sag.The strong faulting and relatively small provenances form an under-compensation environment.The semi-deep lacustrine facies source rocks are successively developed and connectively distributed,offering abundant sources for the large and medium-sized oil and gas fields.Secondly,the large marine delta supplies favorable storage conditions for large-and medium-sized oil and gas fields.Influenced by the ancient Pearl River delta,the Miocene Hanjiang and Zhujiang Formations in the Yangjiang area mainly develop underwater distributary channels and estuary dam sandstones in the delta front,providing the high-quality reservoir.Thirdly,the difference of fault activities controls the stratigraphic sequence and the degree of the oil and gas enrichment.The capacity of faults that cut through the source rocks controls the oil and gas enrichment intervals.The long-term active fault system is of highest quality for faults that connect the source rock in the Yangjiang Area,enabling oil and gas to be transported to the shallow Miocene Hanjiang Formation.The sealing ability of the faults controls the degree of oil and gas enrichment.The lateral sealing ability of the NW-striking transtensional faults is strong,which is beneficial for large scale oil and gas accumulation.
