Abstract:In this article, by using sedimentology and sequence stratigraphy method, through analysis on sedimentary facies and sequence stratigraphy of single well in major tectonic units in Zhangqiu coalfield, Benxi formation, Taiyuan formation and Shanxi formation of Carboniferous-Permian coal-bearing strata can be divided into one first-order basin sequence, two second-order tectonic sequences and three third-order sequences. Within the sequences, maximum flooding surface deposition or equivalent conversion surface have been distinguished, system fields have been divided, and the division of three orders sequences have been studied emphasisly. It is regarded that: third-order sequence Ⅰdeveloped high level water system field and sea intrusion system field, and are mainly composed of tidal sedimentary system, barrier-lagoon sedimentary system and carbonate platform sedimentary system; sequence Ⅱ developed sea intrusive system field and high water level system field, and are mainly composed of tidal system, offshore platform system and barrier-lagoon sedimentary system. Sequence Ⅲ developed medium-low water level system, sea intrusive system field and high water level system, and are mainly composed of shallow meandering river delta sedimentary system.
