Based on core observation and test and mud logging data analysis，the sedimentary characteristics and distribution of beach-bar in the upper fourth member of Shahejie Formation in Zhanhua depression were researched，and the main controlling factors were analyzed. The results show that there are sandy beach-bar and carbonate beach-bar in the study area. The sandy beach-bars mainly distribute in Luojia nose structure and in neighboring regions. The lithology of the sandy beach-bars is mainly gray fine sandstone and siltstone with good sorting and high maturity. Carbonate beach-bar is classified into organic reefs and limestone. The organic reefs mainly distribute along Yidong fault zone with a strip shape，and the lithology is mainly gray limestone and limy dolomite with poor sorting. They deposited generally in situ or settled down after a short distance migration. The limestone beach-bars mainly distribute in Shaojia sag，and the lithology is mainly gray limestone. The main controlling factors are paleo-climate，paleo-landform and paleo-provenance：the specific paleo-climate resulted in a lack of water in the study area；the ancient landform developed a steep slope zone in the north and a gentle slope zone in the south；and the paleo-provenance was characteristic of lacking western provenance. The distribution area，scale and type of the beach-bars are controlled by the three factors jointly.
