Abstract: Permian is broadly distributed in North Xinjiang area, and source rocks are principally developed in upper member of Middle Per-main and upper member of Lower Permian. Abundant petroleum resources are found in the petroleum systems where oil source came from Per-mian in Junggar basin. In Turpan-Hami basin, there exist definite potential of petroleum resources in its Permian and fundamental petroleumgeologic condition for forming oil-gas reservoirs. At present, the Permian is still in early stage of exploration for its low extent of prospecting.Study shows that the favorable targets for hydrocarbon accumulation zones with Permian oil source could be the three uplift belts such as Take-quan-Shanshan, Turpan- Pubei and Kuqa in surroundings of Taibei depression and lowland of Bogoda mountain front.

Key words: Turpan basin, Hami basin, Permian, hydrocarbon potential
