Abstract:

As the major exploration targets in the Tarim Basin,three uplifts,namely,the Shaya,the Katake and the Bachu Uplift,contained an accumulative proven geologic reserves which account for 66.78 % of the basin's total by the end of 2006.However,they varied greatly in the scale of their proven geologic reserves-a phenomenon caused by differences in effective source rocks,development and distribution of high-quality reservoirs,and tectonic evolution history(especially late tectonic activities).Comparative analysis on main factors controlling hydrocarbon accumulation in these uplifts revealed that the Shaya Uplift had the best condition for hydrocarbon accumulation,the Katake Uplift had a less favorable accumulation environment,and the Bachu Uplift had the worst.

Key words: main factor controlling hydrocarbon accumulation, exploration potential, Shaya Uplift, Katake Uplift, Bachu Uplift, Tarim Basin
