During the drilling of shale oil wells in Guandong area of Cangdong Sag,Dagang Oilfield,a large number of new drilling techniques accelerated the drilling rate and finely fragmented cuttings,resulting in difficult lithology identification for mud logging and difficulty in formation division. For this reason,element logging technology is applied in on-site mud logging. Based on the drilling propose of shale oil wells in this area,the key target horizons such as the bottom of Ek1-the top of Ek2,and the bottom of C 1-C 2-the top of C 3 were selected for element analysis,and element data statistics,variation law analysis and curve feature identification were performed. The application results of element logging technology in 10 wells show that the logging parameters of the key target horizons in this area change regularly. From the bottom of Ek1 -the top of Ek2,Si element decreases,and the Ca,Mg,Fe,K,S and Mn elements increase to varying degrees. From the bottom of C 1-C 2-the top of C 3,Si,Fe and Al elements first increase and then decrease,and Ca and Mg elements first decrease and then increase. A method for stratigraphic division for element logging in this area was finally formed,providing the basis and reference for stratigraphic division for shale oil wells drilling in Guandong area,Cangdong Sag.
