Abstract: The sixth member of the Triassic Yanchang Formation (Chang 6 member) in the Dalugou area of the Jing’an Oilfield in the Ordos Basin is a typical ultra-low-permeability lithological reservoir. The Dalugou area has achieved some development progress in the past few years. With the development of the Chang 6 member in the Dalugou area, a better understanding of the sedimentary microfacies and depositional patterns is needed for precise oil development. The purpose of the study of the reservoir description is to understand the reservoir more accurately and provide a solid geological basis for the adjustment of the development strategy of the Chang 6 reservoir. The Chang 6 member of the Triassic Yanchang Formation in the Dalugou area of the Jing’an Oilfield belongs to the subfacies of the delta front, and the reservoir in the study area is mainly the underwater distributary channel deposition. There are two main depositional patterns in the study area: the dendritic sandstone depositional pattern and the lobate sandstone depositional pattern. The study on the sedimentary types and patterns of the Chang 6 member of the Triassic Yanchang Formation in the Dalugou Area of the Jing’an Oilfield can provide significant information for the evaluation of reservoir characterization. Furthermore, the heterogeneity of the Chang 6 reservoir under various depositional patterns has an important influence on oil enrichment.
