Abstract

The karsts of the middle Caledonian and the early Hercynian are widespread in Aiding area of Tahe oilfield in Tarim basin.Of which multi-karst and cavity system were formed by three episodic rising movements of the middle Caledonian.So the reservoir of the Ordovician in this area is dominated by fracture-cavity reservoir rocks,and characterized by north-south zonation in plane and oil bearing on the whole,being remained ancient oil reservoirs with ultra-thick or ultra-heavy oil.The macroscopic analysis and microscopic characteristics show that the hydrocarbon accumulation in Aiding area was earlier,and after reservoir-forming in the late Caledonian to the early Hercynian,it entered into the process dominated by late adjustment and reconstruction.
