Abstract: Shahejie formation of Paleogene is the most important source rock in Huimin sag which is divided into sub-sags of Linnan, Zizheng, Yangxin, Lizezheng. The differences of these sags' depositions lead to their different environments and potentials for hydrocarbon generation. Linnan sub-sag is in big thickness of deposition, which is favorable for source rock evolution such as Sha-3 and Sha-4 sections, belonging to stable subsiding or deep buried type, around which there exist large scale hydrocarbon accumulations; while Xinyang, Zizheng and Lizezheng are in relatively shallow buried depth due to late slowing subsiding of pelitic rock deposits in certain depth of Sha-3 and Sha-4 sections, belonging to gradually rising and mid-shallow buried type, and their slower hydrocarbon-generation evolutions allow scattered low mature or immature hydrocarbons to be found around them. It is the episodic and multi-cycle features of sedimentation and evolution in Linnan sub-sag that form multi-set source rocks with rich organic matters. The correlation among the oil sources shows that producing crude oil just comes from Sha-3 source rock. The upper section of Sha-4 source rock is in deep buried depth and high maturity, but related oil-gas reservoirs are not found up to now. Hence, the upper section of Sha-4 source rock should be as an important target for petroleum exploration in future here.
