摘要:Dunhuang Basin is the largest area and the third hydrocar- bon resources potential basin among the basins of Hexi Cor- ridor, and also a low exploration degree basin. The source rock position, characteristics and hydrocarbon generating po- tential of residual Mid-Lower Jurassic are still unknown. The project is to ascertain the source rock development and hydro- carbon generating capacity of Mid-Lower Jurassic, to find out the resource potential, to delineate the resource prospect area and to optimize the favorable areas. It may direct the petro- leum exploration in Dunhuang Basin.
