Abstract: On the basis of previous studies, this paper presents the inverse estimation of oil cracked gas resourcesaccounting for 40%~ 52% of the total natural gas resources in ancient cratonic area in Tarim basin, and the forward estimation of it accounting for 49% of the total, according to theories of petroleum generation, migration and accumulation as well as petroleum system. The results show that Tarim basin is rich in oil cracked gas resources, mostly distributing in Tadong (eastern Tarim)area and Maigaiti slope, partly in Tabei (northern Tarim)and Tazhong (centre Tarim)areas.

Key words: Tarim basin, crude oil, cracking, natural gas, resource evaluation, inverse, forward
