Depositional model of the fan delta of thick glutenite: Example from the Linhe Depression, Hetao Basin, China.

ABSTRACT: The thick glutenite formed in the Linhe Depression of the Hetao Basin during the Early Cretaceous offers notable exploration potential. However, the sediment comprises a rapidly stacked succession of glutenite featuring poor sortability, with the individual sedimentary layers reaching up to 120 m in thickness. However, the limited core variations coupled with the "dentate box" shape of the well logging curves pose challenges in identifying the sedimentary microfacies of the study area, thereby hindering its exploration and development. This study selected the Jihua-2 block in the Linhe Depression as the study area and attempted to identify the sedimentary microfacies in the thick glutenite formed in this region. Results indicate that under arid and shallow-water conditions, the Langshan Fa
