Abstract: In Dongying Sag, a typical “red bed” is developed in the deep formation, lower sub member of the fourth member of Shahejie Formation-Kongdian Formation (Es4x-Ek2), which has a large thickness but few discovered reserves, showing a great exploration potential.Based on the comprehensive evaluation of deep source rocks, high mature source rock-oil correlation and systematic analysis of self-source type hydrocarbon accumulation pattern, characteristics of two sets of source rocks in Es4x-Ek2 are determined, and resource potential in the deep formation is identified. In addition, the self-sourced differential hydrocarbon accumulation pattern is established by deeply analyzing the key elements of hydrocarbon accumulation. The study results show that Ek2 source rock is dominated by Type Ⅱ1 -Ⅲ organic matter, which is over-mature medium source rock, and Es4x source rock is Type Ⅰ-Ⅱ1 organic matter, which is a set of mature high-quality source rock. The wellseismic tracking of the prototype basin is used to identify the lateral distribution of source rocks, and the estimated resources are 11.35×108t in deep formations. In addition, two types of differential hydrocarbon accumulation patterns are established. One is a vertically ordered condensate gas-conventional oil reservoir formed by direct connection between Es4x source rock and deep glutenite reservoir in the steep slope zone. The other is the “source rock-fault-reservoir-trap” differential hydrocarbon migration and accumulation pattern within Ek2 source rock in the southern slope zone. Based on the deepening understanding of the quality and scale of deep source rocks in Dongying Sag, as well as the two self-sourced hydrocarbon accumulation patterns, the exploration target can be extended down at least 1500m, and the preliminarily estimated new addition trap resources are nearly 2×108t. A major breakthrough is expected in the deep self-sourced oil reservoir in Dongying Sag during the 14th Five-Year Plan period.
