Abstract: Based on the analysis and calculation of rock mechanics, a study is conducted on the origin of abnormally high pressure in Kuqa depression. The study shows that the abnormally high pressure in Kuqa depression is not the result of compression of tectonic stress but resulted from its oil-gas migration and accumulation.

Key words: rock, abnormally high pressure, tectonic stress, strain, compressibility
