Abstract: The geochemical characteristics of crude oil and source rocks in Yinjisu sag are summarized. The genetic types of crude oil are classified, and the correlations between oil-oil and oil-source are conducted by applying light hydrocarbons, biomarkers, and carbon isotopes. The study shows that palaeosalinity of Jurassic carbonaceous mudstone and coal deposit of Jurassic in Huayingcan-1 Well are low in both palaeo-salinity and maturity, not reaching the mature threshold. Crude oil of Jurassic in Yingnan-2 Well is in stage of low maturity, mainly coming from low-salinity and oxidizing Mesozoic humic source rocks, with property of mixed sources. And oil of Jurassic in Longkou-1 Well is originated from hypersaline and anoxic reducing Cambrian-Lower Ordovician sapropelic source rocks. Oils of Jurassic in Huayingcan-1 Well, Cambrian in Tadong-2 Well and Jurassic in Longkou-1 Well are the same source in stage of thermal maturity.
