    Usually there are three kinds of fluid inclusions in Tertiary sedimentary rocks in Qaidam Basin:primary,secondary and hereditary.Among them the most important information for oil and gas exploration are provided by primary fluid inclusions formed in diagenetic stage.The pressure measurement of the inclusions indicates that there is an abnormal high pressure body in the lower Ganchaigou Formation in the south part of the western Qaidam Basin.Oil pools of the red beds just preserved in this body.The reservoir voids are mainly residual primary pores and non-fractured secondary pores in sandstone.So many pores could be preserved because the abnormal high pressure of pore fluids keep quartz and feldspar from pressure-solution and the impermeable beds block the outside siliceous solution source.So the quartz and feldspar can not overgrow.Oil composition show that source rocks are mainly lateral lacustrine synchronous deposits of the red beds,while oil from overlying and underlying source rocks can not enter the trap in large quantity.According to the temperature determination of fluid inclutions,the oil generated and entered the trap when paleotemperature was 78℃.It is 26℃ lower than the threshold temperature calculated formerly.If other conditions remained constant,the quantity of oil generated in western Qaidam Basin should be much more than that calculated.The time of generation,migration and accumulation of oil and gas might start approximately from the Late Miocene and continued to the Late Pliocene.To compare the sedimentary characters of the southern part with that of the northern part of the western Qaidam Basin,one can see that the formation of abnormal high pressure is mainly due to easy closing of the small deltaic sandstone bodies and the diluvial sandstones and conglomerates within lacustrine mudstones,thus the pressure could be accumulated by rapid deposition of overlying sediments and differential compaction.Accordingly,the most favourable areas for oil and gas prospecting in red beds in western Qaidam Basin must be paleolacustrine area,and the west and south sides of the area.As for the east and north parts,it is better to pay attention to the areas where secondary pores are well developed and/or discontinued sandstone beds are existed.

    The main oil-generation region of Jizhong depression,including Gu'an,Baxian,Raoyang,Shenxian and Shulu sags,was a unified oil-generation depression during the Eocene and Early-Middle Oliocene.The basement rocks of the depression were cut into a series of rhombic or semi-rhombic fault blocks with uplifts and depressions by fractures due to multi-tectonic movements.These fractures are normal faults in profiles,but have echelon arrangement,shear displacement,branching fractures and dragging structures on the horizantal plane,showing that most of the faults were formed by shearing stress.This is further proved by anticlines,synclines and even the echelon arrangement of higher-order structures.The compressive structurt in the present area are complicated by tensil or tensil-shearing fractures.This kind of geological phenomena suggests that these structures are characterized by both directions of clockwise and anti-clockwise and compresive and shearing mechanical properties.The study on the history of tectonic development indicates that the extention of the depression took place during the deposition period,thus formed mid-small dextal structures;the contraction of the depression occurred in the discordant period,and formed sinistral structures.This kind of sinistral and dextral shearings have happend alternatively for many times ever since the Tertiary,and finally formed a huge structural complex with buried-hill as its main body.The reversal motions led to multi-migration,extenct distribution and the best enrichment of hydrocarbon.

    Triassic system is mainly distributed in Kuqa,Awat-Mangar depressions and locally in the north Tarim fault-block uplift.In the north part of Kuqa depression and the east part of Awat-Magar depression,Triassic sediments are found to be 2000m and 1250m thick respectively.Through a detailed investigation,the Triassic sediments revealed by wells of Yuecan-1,Shacan-1 and Acan-1 are termed the"Mangar Group"(Tmn).This group can be further divided into 3 formations and 7 sporo-pollen assemblages.Among them,dark rocks become thicker from west to east,accordingly their geochemical indices are more favourable for oil generation,and kerogen of which had reached low mature stage.Crude oil collected from well Shacan-2 contains Triassic sporopollon.Thus Triassic sediments in north Tarim are considerably important source rocks,and Mangar depression should be a favourable broad region for oil generation. The author suggests that north Tarim fault-block uplift located at the higher part between Kuqa and Awat-Mangar depressions,is favourable for oil accumulation and migration.Paleozoic anticlines existed in the fault-block uplift and in the northern margin of Awat-Mangar depression may be the hydrocarbon enrichment zones.

    Observation and electronscanning of rock slices and core samples in 8th district,Karamay oilfield,have the following characters:1.Complicated petrofabric——coarse and fine matrices,five kinds of grainsupported framworks and four types of grain contact.2.Violent mechanical compaction——grain deformation,intra-grain fissures and false matrices.3.Well developed authigenic minerals——three series of zeolites,calcites and chlorites.Based on the occurrence and origin of the authigenic minerals,the relationship between pore evolution and diagenesis processes,the conglomerate are in immatured and semi-matured diagenesis,mechanical and chemical compaction greatly decreased primary porosity,but the de-analcitization resulted in a large amount of secondary corrosion pores,and then,the chlorite grown inpores apparently blocked the throats,thus reduced the permeability of the conglomerate.Two diagenesis processes are discriminated:the ductile tuffaceous clastic conglomerate with a few secondary corrosion evolved into nonreservoir,where as conglomerates composed of compression-resistant neutral and acidic lava clastics with much more secondary pores,developed into effective reservoir.

    Based on the data of steranes and terpanes of 17 source rock samples and 6 crude oil samples collected from Biyang depression,Nanxiang Basin,the authors considered that crude oil produced from middle-depth reservoirs or reservoirs buried shallower than threshold-depth(2100m)were migrated from middle depth source rocks.But the former is mainly in a state of lateral migration within a short distance;while the later is upwards primarily.Crude oil buried in a greater depth was generated from much more deeper source rocks,and bound to migrate for a long distance.

    In consideration of the high heterogeneity of carbonate reservoirs in the Wumishan Formation,the division criterion between reservoir and non-reservoir is taken,to some extent,as an important factor in evaluation of valuable thickness of a reservoir.Statistical data between residual oil Saturation and porosity in rock samples show that,they are generally in normal correlation and may probably reflect the oil abundance of the underground reservoir rocks,and just so,in 90% of non-petroliferous cores,the porosity is less than 2%,permeability less than 1mD.As the porosity and average size of pores are negatively correlated,it is revealed by capillary pressure curve that the porosity of the unpermeable samples is less than 2%(73%),and the average size of pores is more than 12.3φ(76%),the related throat diameter less than 0.21μm.According to electrical log,rocks with GR greater than 3μR/h,the porosity is only 1%,and the permeability is less than 1mD.Based on the measurement of downhole outflow and oil production test,wells with oil output less than 1t per day should be considered to non-reservoirs.The statistic results show that non-reservoirs'GR≥3μR/h,and NG>5.1con.u.So the authors suggest that porosity is 2%,permeability is 1mD and GR>3μR/h,NG>5.1 condition unit should be taken as the dividing criterion between reservoir and non-reservoir.

    Relative contents of ferrodolomite in source rocks identified by Mössbauer effect can be used to deduce the maturity of source rocks.22 samples collected from 3 drill holes in Jurong County,Jiangsu Province,the Middle-Lower Triassic,Permian and Lower Silurian in age,are studied with this technique.The results suggest that Middle Triassic sediments are immatured or lowmatured source rocks,the ferrodolomite of them could hardly be found or found in the bottom,whereas Lower Triassic sediments are matured,the ratio of the iron contents of ferrodolomite to total iron increases with the increases of burial depth of the formation,and the ratio of mudstone samples is lower than that of limestone samples.As for the Lower Siluriam,Lower Permiam and the coal-series of the lower part of Upper Permian,the dolomite contents are naught possibly in relation to that they are supermatured.

    Qaidam Basin began to develop after Indosinian movement.During the Jurassic-Eocene,the basin was small,confined within mountain fronts,and in the Oligocene-Miocene,the whole basin subsided,thus formed a huge depression.In the Pliocene-Quaternary,it uplifted and folded slowly.It is clear that the main period of subsiding and folding of the basin was generally synchronized with the intense uplifting of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.originated with the northward compression of India Plate.The basin's evolution process has revealed itself in a roughly N-S compression stress field.The strong compression force and increasingly depositing load resulted in a variation of lithofacies in the lower part of the earth's crust,i.e.,rock density becomes heavier and heavier,then the crust began to sank and formed a huge depression basin.The uplift of the basin in its late evolution may relate to the expansion of the former rocks which changed from eclogite into gabbronitc resulted from the exothermic reaction of radioele-ments under the huge sedimental cover.The folds and overthrusts were formed appearently due to continuous compression.It is shown by crusta depth measurement that a abnormal velocity layer of 7.8km/sec of P wave can be found within the basin which is between the crust and the mantle.This may be the resuIt of lithofacies variation.

    It is documented that China had its own oil wells already in 980 AD.Because,oil wells drilled in Yanchang County,northern Shaanxi Province,were recorded in"Peaceful Miscellanea"by Li Fang,etc.of the North Song Dynasty(the book was written in 980 AD).Oil wells in counties of(now called)Yanchang,Yanchuan and Yijun,etc.Shaanxi Province,were also written down in"The Central Annals of the Yuan Dynasty"by Bo Lanxi,etc.The recorded history of these oil wells is 300,235 years earlier respectively than that of oil and brine-bearing wells in Jiazhou region noted down then by Cao Xuequan in"Miscellanea of Central Sichuan".Furthermore,the publication of the book"Peaceful Miscellanea"is about 100 years earlier than that or"Mengxi Sketches and Notes"of Shen Kuo,thus the term of"petroleum"was not initiated by Shen Kuo.
