Abstract: In response to the problems of complex oil and water distribution pattern, poor understanding of sand body depositional characteristics and depositional control factors in the second member of the Sangonghe Formation in the Moxizhuang area, the depositional characteristics of the area were analyzed, the depositional control factors were determined, and depositional modes were established in different periods to clarify the spatial location of sandstone reservoirs on the basis of the logging, coring, physical properties and seismic data and in combination with the fault activity. The study shows that in the Moxizhuang area, the braided river delta front sedimentary system is developed, which is divided into 8 kinds of lithofacies such as granularly supported conglomerate facies, sandy conglomerate facies,pebbly sandstone facies massive sandstone facies, cross-laminated sandstone facies, parallel-laminated sandstone facies, horizontal-laminated sandstone facies, mudstone facies and 6 kinds of sedimentary microfacies, such as braided watercourse, interdistributary bay, channel sand bar, mouth bar, distal bar, and shore-shallow lake microfacies according to the sedimentary characteristics; during the depositional period of the lower subsection of the second member of the Sangonghe Formation, the north fault activity was strong, so the slope-break geomorphology was formed in the study area, resulting in hydrodynamic conversion depositional features between the north and south parts of the study area; in the context of the lake level rising and hydrodynamic weakening, the activity of the south fault intensified during the depositional period of the upper subsection, which together with the graben tectonics formed by the north faults controlled the conversion of the deposition direction of the sand body in the southeastern part of the study area, and favored a shift in the depositional direction of the sand body to a nearly east-west direction. This study is of guiding significance in determining the spatial distribution of sand body reservoirs in the Moxizhuang Area.
