Oil–source correlation in the cratonic region of the Tarim Basin, NW China has long been
controversial. Current knowledge of the potential source rock distribution, end-member …

Cambrian dolostone reservoirs in the Tarim Basin, China, have significant potential for future
discoveries of petroleum, although exploration and production planning is hampered by …

Cores, thin sections, and cathodoluminescence analysis were integrated to document the
occurrence and petrology of dolomites, and their pore systems in the Cambrian of Tarim …

Dolomite genesis is a century-old mystery in sedimentology. To reveal the mechanism of
dolomite genesis, two core problems need to be addressed. The first is the origin and …

Well TS1, which is located in the north uplift of the Tarim basin, northwestern China, has a
total depth of 8408 m and is the deepest petroleum well in the world. The well penetrates a …

Abstract Thick Upper Cambrian-Lower Ordovician carbonates were deposited on a shallow
marine platform in the northern Tarim Basin, which were extensively dolomitized, particularly …

The complex tectonic activities and multi-stage diagenetic modifications lead to the
formation of a heterogeneous pore network spectrum ranging from macropores (centimeter …

Many hydrocarbon shows have been reported from potential evaporite-related carbonate
reservoirs in the lower to middle Cambrian units in the Tarim Basin. Petrography, facies, and …

Acquiring the absolute timing for hydrothermal carbonate is a precondition to probing into
the basinal-scale, tectonically-driven fluid circulation processes. This study provides an …

Abstract The deep-burial Cambrian **aoerbulake Formation microbialites reservoir hosts
significant hydrocarbon in the Tarim Basin. However, limited understandings of fluid-rock …
