Reservoir classificationDistributionMonosandbodyBasic reservoirs characteristics
Effective thickness, H (m)Permeability, K (mD)Scale

First-class layer(FCL)PI groupRiver sandFlood plain facies channel sand, highly curved diverting channel sand≥4 m≥500Formation developed with large area, with a width greater than 1000 m

Second-class layer (SCL)S group and PII groupRiver sandLow-bend diversion channel sand, underwater dendritic channel sandH ≥ 1.0 m≥100Formation developed connected with a width greater than 200 m

Nonriver sand H ≥ 1.0 m with oil layer assisted

Third-class layer (TCL)S group, PII group, and Gao groupNonriver sandThin layer for reservesH < 1.0 m<100Typically formation is sheeted broken like, loose, small size, two-phase mixed staggered distribution
