Taking the upper sub-member of Sha 4 in Well Fanye 1 and Well Niuye 1 in Dongying Sag, Jiyang Depression, Bohai Bay Basin as a typical example, this paper adopts the method of combining macro and micro laminar characterization and complementing each other. The characteristics of laminar development are studied by means of fine description of rock thin sections by cores and electron microscopic observation Reconstruction of the Bohai Bay Basin in sand four period of ancient sedimentary environment, it is concluded that the sand on the four period of development of four complete filling sedimentary cycle. Using Milankovitch cycles method, reveals the ancient climate control mechanism of lithofacies, formed by organic laminae under hot and humid climate and a small amount of calcite laminated lithofacies, in hot and humid climate, the lithofacies is mainly composed of organic lamina and a small amount of calcite lamina, while in cold and dry climate, the lithofacies is mainly composed of calcite lamina, and the lithofacies is mainly composed of organic lamina, silty lamina and gypsum lamina. Micro-laminar research is an important scientific issue in unconventional oil and gas eology. It can provide basic data for unconventional oil and gas exploration, such as the types, distribution and extension of laminar, especially the determination of sampling targets. Different laboratory samples can be analyzed according to the laminar types.
