    Abstract
  • A predominantly tidal estuary is the main reservoir type in the Upper Cretaceous Napo Formation, northern Oriente Basin, Ecuador, although its identification, lithofacies and sedimentary distribution are unclear at present. Establishing a reliable sedimentary model of the estuary is of great significance for predicting the presence of oil and gas reservoirs. A comprehensive analysis of the core, including grain size, well logging, thin section and geochemical data, found that: (1) The combination of lithofacies, geochemical and vertical sequence characteristics indicates the development of a tidal⁃dominated estuary⁃shelf sedimentary system. (2) The tidal⁃dominated estuary contains middle⁃and outer estuary subfacies. The middle estuary contains tidal channels with an overbanked mixture of flat and salt⁃marsh microfacies, the distribution shown as bell-shaped on the logging curve. Along the axis of the outer estuary, tidal sand bar and upper⁃flow⁃regime sand flat microfacies were developed, producing a box⁃shaped logging curve. Muddy tidal flat microfacies occur on both flanks of the outer estuary, shown as finger⁃shaped logging curve. A muddy shelf and storm⁃formed glauconitic sheet sand developed under the normal wave base. (3) The paleogeography of the study area leans towards the southwest. Tidal channels developed in the middle estuary in the northeast. The southwestern channel gradually widened and north⁃south tidal bars were distributed along the axis of the outer estuary. A sheet⁃like muddy tidal flat developed on the flanks of the estuary.
