Abstract

In recent years, significant successes have been achieved in the search and exploration of oil and gas reservoirs in the Jurassic deposits on the eastern side of the Fukang depression, which is the least studied part of the Junggar oil and gas Basin. In order to find out the source of hydrocarbon generation, we studied source rocks, oil and oil-bearing sandstones (24 samples from 13 wells) from the Badaowan, Sangonghe, Xishanyao, Toutunhe and Qigu production beds of the Fukang depression research area. Based on these studies, the composition of the organic matter of the Jurassic source rocks, the properties and molecular composition of oils, as well as the characteristics of the composition of biomarkers in them are examined in detail. The results of research and interpretation of the data showed that the mudstones of the Badaowan formation were source rocks of oil from the Gumudi zone, the Fukan depression, the Bajiahai ledge and the Shaqi ledge.
