Abstract:Through analysis on sedimentary of sequence, combining with study of palaeogeomorphology and depositional systems, formation conditions and the types of nonstructural traps are analyzed, they can be classified into stratigraphic overlap trap, stratigraphic unconformity trap, updip pinchout trap and igneous traps. On the basis of comprehensive research on the sequence stratigraphy, the distribution of depositional systems and hydrocarbon accumulation conditions, favorable reservoir distribution of Silurian in Tarim Basin have been defined, and the favorable exploration area has been focused on the depression, such as Manjiaer and Awat rift.
