| The Yanchang Formation of the Upper Triassic is a suit of terrestrial fluivolacustrine-deltaic sequence, consisting one of the main hydrocarbon-producing intervals in the area. The Upper Triassic Yanchang Formation can be divided into three facies from the bottom to the top. | | The Yanchang Formation of the Upper Triassic is a suit of terrestrial fluivolacustrine-deltaic sequence, consisting one of the main hydrocarbon-producing intervals in the area.
