The marine sequences in the unmodified foreland region of Tarim Basin had experienced
multiple stages of hydrocarbon accumulation with alternative later adjustment, destruction
and preservation processes. Consequently, the distribution of oil and gas reservoirs in the
study area today is very complicated. The article proposed that both source rocks and cap
rocks had played roles in controlling the distribtuion of oil and gas reservoirs and suggested
that the interaction between favorable timing of hydrocarbon generation with formation of …
