Abstract

The concept and division method for petroleum accumulation system, based on layer structure, are presented according to characteristics of layer structure and reservoirs. The petroleum accumulation system of Jiyang depression can be divided into four levels, namely petroleum accumulation system combination, petroleum accumulation system, oil-gas reservoir combination and reservoir. The petroleum accumulation system combination includes three types of genetic pattern: other-source buried-ridge accumulation system combination in pre-Paleogene, medium-deep layer self-source accumulation system combination in Paleogene, and shallow layer other-source accumulation system combination in Neogene. This paper also describes the reservoir types and their distribution characteristics of different petroleum accumulation system combinations and their interior units.
