Popis: This paper studies the alluvial fan facies characteristics and distribution in the Lower Talang Acar Formation in the Northeast Betara Oilfield. The conglomerate sedimentary characteristics and its distribution were studied based on core data, logging interpretation and seismic property analysis. The research indicated that alluvial fan deposits of Bed F in the Lower Talang Akar Formation were characterized by coarse granularity, poor sorting and low quality. Sand-bodies accumulate longitudinally, and inter-layers are poorly developed, extending locally in the transverse orientation. Typical logging response of alluvial fan system is summarized, and conglomerate is characterized by low gamma-ray (GR) intensity, low resistance, high density and low value between DLD and LLD, which reflects poor physical reservoir properties, coarse rocks and relatively high density. Conglomerate is developed mainly in the northeast and middle-south of the studied area. The upper part of bed F is found in a small area in the middle-south, while the lower part of bed F is developed in a relatively large area in the middle-south.
