The oil and gas industry faces increasing challenges in replenishing reserves. Enhancing exploration efficiency requires the integration of diverse datasets to build robust geological models. This study investigates the provenance and depositional systems of Lower Miocene sandstone reservoirs in the Cuu Long Basin (CLB), offshore Vietnam. We integrate 3D seismic, wireline log, conventional core, and detrital zircon U-Pb geochronological data to build a comprehensive source-to-sink model. Our findings reveal that the clastic components of the Lower Miocene sandstones (formations BI.1 and BI.2) predominantly originate from Cretaceous (ca. 105–108 Ma) magmatic rocks of the adjacent Dalat Zone on the Vietnamese mainland, with minor contributions from recycled older crustal sources. Seismic and well data show deposition occurred in environments ranging from alluvial-fluvial plains to more marine-influenced deltaic and coastal plain settings. This work provides new, high-resolution constraints on the provenance, depositional systems, and tectonic controls that influenced reservoir development in the Early Miocene CLB, offering crucial insight for future hydrocarbon exploration in the region.
