Based on core thin sections, logging and seismic data, the distribution of favorable lacustrine carbonate reservoirs is predicted in the upper Es4 of the Zhanhua Sag, Bohaiwan Basin. On the basis of the facies characteristics of well tie sections and palaeo-landform background, the carbonate depositional model is established, namely, the reef and bank carbonates are deposited from the largest expansion period to the stable period of lake basin, bank carbonates are mainly distributed on the upper side of synsedimentary faults on the gentle slope or deposited in fault-step lowland on the steep slope while the reef carbonates mainly on fault-step highland on the steep slope. It is possible to predict the distribution of favorable reservoirs according to the depositional model, palaeo-landform analysis and seismic amplitude attributes.
