Abstract: The study on the comprehensive evaluation about the abundance of organic matter, type and maturity in dark mudstone of Paleogene and Neogene, ddrilled in Well Shaxin-1 on the structural belt of Shizigou-Youshashan in west deression of Qaidam basin and the oil-source correlation in the major layer of E3x and N1s of this well with its adjacent wells show that main part of the dark mudstone in Well Shaxin-1 is medium source rocks with organic matter of Type Ⅱ1 and Ⅱ2 . The source rock of N2 2s is in stage of low maturity, while those of N1s-E3x have entered mature stage. The correlation of oil sources indicates that the oil source from Well Block Shaxin-1 differs from adjacent wells areas and it assumes self-generating and self-storage type, which constraints the scale of hydrocarbon accumulation in some extent in Well Block Shaxin-1.
