Abstract

: Petroleum systems in the Tarim basin are of the typical characteristics of superimposed basins. There exist multiple source rocks, hydrocarbon kichens, critical moments, periods of accumulation as well as multiple petroleum systems. The petroleum systems can be divided into cratonic, foreland and craton foreland superimposed types and 10 petroleum systems are discerned. The Kuche and Southwestern Tarim are proved foreland petroleum system with excellent conditions for natural gas generation and accumulation. The Lunnan Caohu, Halahatang, Central Tarim, Bachu Maigaiti are proved cratonic petroleum systems favorable to marine oil and gas accumulation. The East Tarim and Awati belong to craton foreland superimposed petroleum systems.
