Abstract

The Lower Triassic Feixianguan sedimentary system of carbonate platform that develops in Sichuan basin consists of six sedimentary facies, including restricted platform facies, open platform facies, evaporite platform facies, platform margin facies, platform foreslope facies and trough basin facies.According to the single-well and outcrop se-quence division and the well-to-well sequence correlation, the Lower Triassic Feixianguan Formation can be divided into a SQ1 and a SQ2 third-order sequences and corresponding HST and TST system tracts. Feixianguan sequence-based lithofacies and paleogeographic maps at each system tract in the whole basin are compiled. It is shown that Feixianguan sedimentary facies presents obvious differentiation from the southwest to the northeast of the basin. During the SQ1 peri-od, the open platform facies and the restricted platform facies commonly developed in the basin but the intraplatform oolitic beach microfacies and the platform-margin shoal microfacies developed in the central and the east of the basin, and during the SQ2 period, the restricted platform tidal flat subfacies widely developed in the central and northeast of the basin. It is concluded that the oolitic beach microfacies deposited in the HST (SQ1) and the TST (SQ2) may be the good reservoirs for exploration potential.
