Abstract:

The divergence,convergence and collision of the three main plates(Tarim,Junggar-Altun and Alxa-Qaidam)controlled the formation and development of the basins in Northwest China.The superimposed-composite prototype basins constituted different types of gas(oil)-bearing(Tarim),oil(gas)-bearing(Junggar,Qaidam,Yining,Turpan-Harmi)and oil-bearing(west Jiuquan,Santanghu,Minhe and Badain Jaran-Tengri)basins.Among these basins,the most potential gas-bearing basin is the Tarim,then the Junggar and the Qaidam Basins,the Yining and the Turpan-Hami Basins less favourable.
