    The middle and lower parts of the Fourth Member of the Shahejie Formation in the Dongying Depression are representatives of evaporites and mud rocks in Eastern China. To investigate hydrocarbon potential, some deep wells, such as the Hk1 well and Fs2 well, were intensively cored and evaluated by geochemistry. The total salinity of the formation waters is very high and is dominated by CaCl2, suggesting favorable seal development and preservation of petroleum. The content of Al, Mn, and Ba and the ratios of V/Ni and (Fe+Al)/(Ca+Mg) were low, whereas the content of Na, Ca, and Mg and the ratios of Sr/Ba, Fe/Mn, and Sr/Ca were high in the evaporites and mudstones of the Fourth Member compared with those in the mudstones of the Third Member. Sr content was remarkably high. The co-sedimentary system of evaporites and mudstones displays a heavier isotope of carbon. The values of δ13C fo.. View More»
