From viewpoint of quantitative palaeoecology, the relationship between dominance diversity of ostracoda (Hs) and water depth of palaeo-lacustrine basin (D) is simulated and established using ecology and palaeoecology data. The relationship is proved creditable based on seismic and sedimentary data of the paleogene of Dongying Delta, thus the water depth can be accurately calculated using quantitatively calculated dominance diversity. Taking the sedimentary period of the Member 3 of Shahejie Formation of Paleogene in Dongying Sag as an example, paleo-water depths of the 3 submember sedimentary periods were recovered and the planar isoline map was made. Results show that palaeo-water depth of Dongying Sag are respectively middle submember sedimentary period, lower submember sedimenrary period and upper submember sedimentary period in ascending order. Quantitative recovery of water depth of palaeo-lacustrine basin has an important significance in study of souce-reservoir-caprock of oil and gas in pertroliferous basin.
