Abstract: Deformation structures including thrust nappe and strike slip shear formed in north area of Tarim basin in late of Hercynian orogeny being influenced by oblique collision of north margin of Tarim plate with south Tianshan mountain during orogeny and thrust-strike slip action, which produced many types of traps including unconformity, fault blocks anticline, buried hill and weathering crust. These traps are favorable for the formation of reservoir (oilfield) in north area of Tarim basin.

Key words: Tarim basin, Hercynian orogeny, Nappe, Strike-slip fault, Oil and gas reservoir
