description This paper proposes a new research method for braided river sedimentation on the beach shore based on the action of tidal currents. This study conducts a statistical analysis of the length and width of a single braided river and channel bar sand body, and establishes the relationship function model of the quantitative scale of a single braided river and the channel bar. According to the core and logging data of the Nanwu area of the target oilfield, a quantitative methodology based on the calculation of a single accretion scale is established from three perspectives: the architecture interface identification of the accretion, the occurrence and scale calculation of the interlayer, and the scale calculation of the single accretion. In the Nanwu area, the inclination angle of the accretion interface in the direction of the long axis is 0.78–1.32°, and the inclination angle of the accretion interface in the direction of the short axis is 2.02–3.78°. The density of a single well group is generally 2–3 per well. The length of the single accretion in the channel bar is 700–1500 m. Based on these findings, this paper completes the construction of the architecture of the channel bar, and establishes the quantitative scale calculation method for architecture elements for different levels of braided river reservoirs. The research results provide support for the prediction of the braided river reservoir architecture and the remaining oil in similar blocks.
