Abstract: In the early1950s there was a big debate about directions for oil and gas geological exploration in Junggar basin: whether to go platform (refers to the northwestern margin of the basin) or to be persisted in the piedmont depression (refers to the southern margin of the basin) for continuing to oil exploration. Over the past60years, with the deepening of the oil and gas exploration and constant accumulation of the new information or data, a new idea or model for oil and gas exploration in Junggar basin is appeared in recent years. According to this new model, this paper presents reappraisal of oil and gas prospects in the northwestern margin and the southern margin of Junggar basin, and indicates that the oil and gas prospect in the northwestern margin is much better than that in the southern margin of the basin. The success of the oil and gas exploration in the northwestern margin in recent years is a successful case based on the new model for further finding oil and gas in Junggar basin.
