Abstract: The shale gas within the Deyang-An’gue sag, specifically in the Qiongzhushi Formation, exhibits significant exploration potential. The characterization of the sag’s depositional features during the sedimentary period of the Qiongzhushi Formation has not been systematically understood. By establishing a sequence stratigraphy framework for the deposition of the Qiongzhushi Formation and analyzing sedimentary landforms based on shale thickness and quality, the geological significance of shale gas is elucidated. The results indicate that, considering sedimentary landforms, sedimentary facies, shale thickness, etc., the sedimentary period of the Qiong 1-2 sub-section can be divided into three landform units: intra-sag, slope, and extra-sag. Ancient landforms and source materials jointly control the shale thickness and quality. The intra-sag unit develops a siliceous mud-shale microfacies, with a shale reservoir thickness exceeding 20 m. The slope unit develops (including) sandy mud-shale microfacies, with a shale reservoir thickness of 5 to 20 m. The extra-sag unit develops muddy sandy-shale microfacies, with a shale reservoir thickness less than 5 m.
