The significant hydrocarbon discoveries have been found during the past few years in Middle Jurassic Xishanyao Formation in Southeastern Xiayan Rise, Junggar Basin. The braided delta front deposits and shore-shallow lacustrine deposits are well preserved in Xishanyao Formation, their history being documented by integrated analysis of seismic volumes and borehole datasets (wireline logs, cores, grain size etc). The results reveal that five sedimentary microfacies are identified. Among them, the braided delta front deposits include subaqueous distributary channel, inter-distributary channel and mouth bar, while shore-shallow lacustrine deposits consist of lacustrine mud and swamp. In addition, depositional evolution of braided delta front deposits and shore-shallow lacustrine deposits from bottom to top in Xishanyao Formation is characterized by retrogradation and progradation during depositional period. The depositional evolution during depositional period of Xishanyao Formation is controlled by interactions of the source and distribution of provenance, the catchments, the lacustrine fluctuations and the climates.
