Abstract: The key parameters of the shale gas reservoirs abroad are analyzed, and the principles of strategic areas for exploring shale gas at home and abroad are reviewed. Based on the geological conditions in Tuha basin, the general evaluation standards of these areas, the basic geological conditions of forming shale gas reservoirs for two sets of shale strata of Shuixigou group and Xiaoquangou group in this basin are evaluated comhensively. It is suggested that the eastern Taibei sag and the Hamisanbao sag in Tuha basin are favorable targets for shale gas exploration.

Key words: Tuha basin, Taibei sag, mineral, shale gas, hydrocarbon resource
