Abstract
Hetianhe gasfield in Bachu region of the Tarim Basin is mainly composed of three reservoir-caprock assembly, namely regional caprock of upper mudstone, middle mudstone and lower mudstone of the Carboniferous and reservoir of Bachu bioclastic limestone, glutenite and the Ordovician carbonate buried hill. Natural gas in Hetianhe gasfield sourced from the Cambrian source rock. It is thought that gases in Ma4 well block in the east of Hetianhe gasfield are mainly crude-oil cracked gases, while those in Ma3 and Ma8 well blocks in the west are the mixture gases of kerogen cracked gases and crude-oil cracked gases. Natural gas is rich in H2S and accumulated in multiply stages as the result of TSR. The accumulation history is divided into three stages, namely accumulation and breakage in the late Caledonian-early Hercynian, migration and dissipation in the late Hercynian and accumulation in Himalayan. The main accumulation of reformed gas reservoir is in Himalayan.
