  ABSTRACT: The Feixianguan formation in the Kaijiang-Liangping basin has been the focus of extensive research on multiple aspects. Based on field survey, core observation, laboratory analysis and seismic data interpretation, the sequence stratigraphy and sedimentary facies of the Kaijiang-Liangping area are studied. Four sequence boundaries and three maximum flooding surfaces of the Feixianguan formation are detected in this area. Three third-order sequences are identified as first sequence (SQ1), the second sequence (SQ2), and the third sequence (SQ3) in which SQ1 corresponds to the member 1 of the Feixianguan formation, SQ2 corresponds to the member 2, and SQ3 corresponds to the member 3 and member 4. Member 1, 2, 3 and 4 are lithologic sections divided by predecessors. On the basis of this sequence division and their sedimentary marks, the facies of the Feixianguan formation can be divided into open platform and evaporate platform categories. The open platform is composed of three subfacies identified as platform bank or basin marginal bank, interbank, and platform basin. Thus, a sedimentary evolution model is established. According to the sedimentary and seismic characteristics of the Kaijiang-Liangping area, we determine that two oolitic bank models, the aggradation model and the progradation model, are developed in this area. The aggradation model is developed in the Longgang region, which includes the basin marginal bank as a favorable exploring zone. The progradation model is developed in the Jiulongshan and Longhui areas, besides the basin marginal bank, the favorable exploration zones also include the oolitic bank developing areas of the inner basin.
