摘要

The sedimentary facies study is one of the key procedures in exploration Of Subtle reservoirs in basins, of which a prerequisite is effective identification of its structural, lithologic or lithofacies differences through integrated usage of geophysical methods. Based on geophysical data, including gravity, aeromagnetic and seismic data, this paper describes the density distribution characteristics of marine strata in middle Guangxi province, south China, and predicts the regularities of lithofacies and sedimentary facies changes in terms of potential field forward stripping and profile forward/inverse fitting. It is revealed that transversal lithologic and lithofacies changes exist in the marine strata of mid- and lower-Devonian series of the area. The platform zones in northwest and southeast of the area have high gravity anomalies and high fitting rock density. The "X"-shaped plat form-marginal facies zone in the middle is characterized by irregular gravity anomalies and a large variation range of fitted rock density. And the platform-trough facies zone in the east exhibits low gravity anomalies as well as low fitted rock density. Predicting sedimentary facies through integrative geophysical methods offers a new approach for exploration of lithologic trap reservoirs and bioherm reservoirs in basins. This method has been preliminarily proved, and needs further improvements and applications.
