Sequence Stratigraphy and Microfacies of the Middle Ordovician Yijianfang Formation in the Tarim Basin, NW China by Yu Gu, Jun Wu, Tailiang Fan

“…Moreover, methods for identifying sedimentary microfacies using logging data still need to be explored and advanced. Based on field outcrop, drilling cores, thin sections, full-bore microscan imaging (FMI), and conventional logging data, the high-precision sequence stratigraphy and sedimentary facies of the Yijianfang Formation in the Tahe Oilfield have been studied to clarify how they control the formation and distribution of carbonate intra-platform shoals. …”
