Abstract: There are better oil and gas reservoir forming conditions in Mesozoic-Cenozoic in northem Tarim basin, Kuqa sag possesses basical petroleum geologic condition for foming giant oil and gas field, and medium-small type of oil and gas feld group may form in the rest area with better assemblage conditions. There are three distribution models in Mesozoic-Cenozoic oil and gas reservoirs. Varieous scales of reservoirs were formed in nine series of Sinian-Neogene, among which 80% are in Mesozoic-Cenozoic (mainly distributed in paleo-uplift and slope belt) . These indicated that there are broad oil and gas prospecting potential in Mesozoic-Cenozoic in Tarim basin.

Key words: Tarim basin, Mesozoic, Cenozoic, Reservoir formation, Condition, Structural model, Oil and gas exploration, Potential prediction
