Abstract: Based on relationship among the sizes of faults, continuity and hydrocarbon accumulation in Gasab block, it is pointed out that the distribution of reservoirs is determined by two northwest dominant faults and their adjust faults created by strike slip motion.The arrangement relationship among sand body distribution direction, the strike of dominant faults and the active intensity of edge water control the hydrocarbon enrichment. Gasab block based on these understandings is another incremental reserves area after Moleeta oilfield of the hundred million tons level was found in Sudan.
