Abstract
The Ordos Basin is known for rich natural gas, coal, and oil fields; it is an important mineral raw material and electric power base of China. Among the recently discovered gas fields within the Yimeng Monocline, the Sulige and Tabamiao gas fields, where gas reserves are found in Lower Ordovician carbonate rocks, are best known. We have identified five types of gas-reservoir rocks, which are confined to the ancient weathering crust of Ordovician carbonate deposits.
