Abstract: The architectures and responses of physical properties of the unconformity are discussed according to the 3-D seismic data, thin section examination, well logs and physical properties of the unconformity at the uppermost part of the Palaeogene strata in the Yongbei region, Dongying depression. The three-layer architectures are discriminated for the unconformity, including the transgressive sand layer with high porosity, weathered clay layer with higher mud contents and lower porosity, and semi-weathered leached layer with developed secondary opening solutions and higher porosity. There occur two types of stratigraphic traps such as the block-tilting and basin-margin types developed in the upper part of the third member of the Shahejie Formation in the Yongbei region. The blocktilting model is controlled by the unconformity and second-order or lower-order faults, and thus displays relatively small scales of traps. The basin-margin model often appears on the highly-uplifted basin margins constrained by the faults, and thus display relatively larger scales of traps.
