Abstract:

Central uplift belt in Tarim basin is a typical large petroleum accumulation zone characterized by multiple sets of source rocks,various types of reservoir rocks,many kinds of traps and oil/gas pools,multistage hydrocarbon charging,and various plays.According to the available drilling and seismic data and comprehensive geological research,it is believed that the Ordovician reef-bank facies,Caledonian palaeokarst,Silurian and Devonian "unconformity triangle zone",and Cambrian pre-salt dolomite are the potential targets of exploration in the central uplift belt of Tarim basin.While stressing on exploration in these key areas,researches shall be focused on the matching technologies for exploration,so as to develop effective and integrated exploration technologies.

Key words: large petroleum accumulation zone, central uplift belt, exploration success rate, exploration strategy, Tarim Basin
