Abstract: An integrated study on stratigraphy, tectonics, sedmentology and petroleum geology in Amu-Daria basin is conducted. Four factors that control its hydrocarbon distribution such as thermodynamics, structure, lithology and hydrogeology are determined. Four rules of distribution of big gas fields in this basin are reviewed. It is predicted that the most favorable prospecting areas are the marginal zones adjacent to the basin in northern Bewuerjashik-Xiwen depression, Wuqaderen uplift and Mali-Xielahe uplift; the favorable prospecting areas are Charzhu bench, Buhala bench, Badehezi-Kalabili bench, Zhaungbuzi placanticline and marginal zones adjacent to the depression.

Key words: Amu-Daria basin, petroleum geology, feature, favorable zone
