Abstract:In view of the dispute about the sedimentary environment of thick layer sandstones in Kuishan formation of the Permian in western Shandong province, by means of sampling, grinding and indoor electron probe microelements in single county area, genetic mechanism of Kuishan sandstone has been studied. It is found that the environment of Kuishan sandstone is complex, which can not be explained by using a certain environment simply. Its sedimentary affected by frequent transgressive regressive. After comprehensive analysis, it is regarded that the environment should be formed in the coastal inshore belt and delta. On this basis, combining with experiments and sedimentology, the influence of seawater to Kuishan sandstone has been analyzed. Kuishan sandstone has been divided into four sedimentary cycles, and the genesis model has been established.
