Abstract: The principles and methods of reconstructing the thermal history of basins using vitrinlte reflectance f sterane and hopane isomer data are described in this paper with case analysis of well Aican No.1 in the northwestern margin of Junggar Baijin presented. It is suggested that while some of TTI and Ro reiationships used are not suitable for the well, the thermal history of the well reconstructed using stcrane and hopane data is in good accordance wiih that done using day mineral data and fission scars in apatite by other investigators.

Key words: vitrinitc reflectance, sterane isomer, hopane isomer, reconstruction of the thermal history
