This paper makes systematic analysis of geological factors of natural gas accumulation in Denglouku formation of Gulong-Changjiaweizi region, including reservoir characteristics, gas source condition, source-reservoir relationship, structural condition, etc. It turned out that K1d2 in Gulong-Changjiaweizi region is generally typical tight sandstone reservoir with low porosity and permeability due to the poor physical properties. The gas source rock of K1d2 formation has larger gas producing capacity.The relationship between source rock and reservoir shows as interbed interfinger or directly contiguity contact, which is beneficial for large-area gas accumulation. The gas generation area of source rock in this region is always in the center and slow downdip direction of Gulong depression with a smaller dip angle on the adjacent tight sandstone reservoir, where faults are rare. The result of comprehensive analysis shows that K1d2 formation in Nothern Songliao Basin and its neighboring layers could be considered as a favorable target of the tight gas reservoir study in Northern Songliao Basin due to its favorable geological conditions of deep basin tight gas reservoir generation, such as tight reservoir, sufficient gas source, communicating source-reservoir relationship and constant flattened structure.

Tracing petroleum migration pathways for petroleum exploration in a sedimentary basin is challenging. Paleo-uplifts are generally considered to represent the primary migration directions of petroleum. Here we propose a model for the Kuqa Foreland Basin, in which petroleum migrates along the axes of synclines between paleo-uplifts, based on an integrated analysis of seismic, geochemical, and production data. Interpretation of detailed seismic data indicates that petroleum is unlikely to migrate to the paleo-uplifts because of their relatively low positions, fault disruptions, or a lack of Mesozoic reservoirs. Geochemical parameters, including the ratios of alkyl dibenzothiophenes and the gas wetness parameter, show that petroleum maturity gradually decreases along the axes of synclines between paleo-uplifts from northeast to southwest. Petroleum production data and gas/oil ratios also show decreasing trends from northeast to southwest. This evidence suggests that petroleum is likely to migrate along the axes of the synclines between the paleo-uplifts from northeast to southwest. This study not only enhances the scientific understanding of secondary migration, but also may be useful to guide petroleum exploration in the southern Kuqa Foreland Basin.
