Based on the analysis of the relationships between the conditions of structures, sedimentations, source rocks, cap rocks, faults, oil and gas migration passages and traps and hydrocarbon accumulation, the controlling factors of hydrocarbon accumulation and distribution was studied in Talaha-changjiaweizi area. It is held that the source rocks control the hydrocarbon vertical distribution, the drainage capabilities control the hydrocarbon plane distribution, fracture belts control the hydrocarbon accumulation of Talaha syncline, underwater distributary channel is a favorable accumulation environment and reservoir physical properties control the oil and water distributions. Therefore, it is concluded that source rocks, fracture belts, sedimentary microfacies and reservoir physical properties are the main controlling factors of hydrocarbon accumulation and distribution in Talaha-changjiaweizi area.
