Abstract: In response to the unclear impact of fault-caprock configuration sealing capacity on the longitudinal distribution of hydrocarbons in the central-southern segment of the Eastern Sag of Liaohe Basin, this study investigated the characteristics of the longitudinal distribution of hydrocarbons by utilizing the well-to-seismic and geological data, and evaluated the sealing capacity of fault-caprock configuration by employing the entropy weight method combined with TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) to reduce subjectivity in weight determination. The study shows that: the types of hydrocarbon enrichment in the study area can be divided into three categories: deep enrichment type, shallow enrichment type, and multi-layer enrichment type. Fault-caprock configurations can be divided into type I with good sealing capacity and type II with poor sealing capacity.Type I fault-caprock configuration in Member 3, Shahejie Formation is distributed in the central segment for controlling the deep enrichment of hydrocarbons. The combination of type I and type II fault-caprock configurations between the Member 3, Shahejie Formation and the Dongying Formation controls the multi-layer enrichment and shallow enrichment of hydrocarbons. The results of this study provide reference significance for the next steps in oil and gas exploration.

Key words: longitudinal distribution of hydrocarbons, sealing capacity, fault-caprock configuration, Eastern Sag of Liaohe Basin
