Abstract: The northwestern margin of Junggar basin is of superior conditions in oil sand resources. They are distributed in Hongshanzui- Karamay-Wuerhe areas with features of multiple oil sands (3~14 layers), large thickness (1.5~93.65 m), high oil content (3%~23%), premium oil-sand quality and shallow burial depth, etc., and can be recovered by open-cut mining process and tunnel-based steam injection process. The oil sand resources in this area are of certain commercial values.

Key words: Junggar basin, northwestern margin, oil sand, resource potential, evaluation
