摘   要 As worldwide hydrocarbon exploration has extended from shallowly to deeply buried strata, reservoir
quality has attracted substantial and persistent interest in petroleum geology. In particular, deeply buried
strata (>5500 m) in the Tarim Basin have attracted considerable attention because carbonate reservoirs
that have experienced fracture or dissolution have also been shown to demonstrate considerable hy_x0002_drocarbon potential. Therefore, it is necessary to determine how these reservoirs are developed and
distributed in detail from both scientific and practical standpoints.
In this paper, we address this issue using a case study in the southern Tahe area, which is contained
within the largest Palaeozoic marine oilfield in China. In the northern Tahe area, mega-paleokarst systems developed in the Ordovician strata; however, the reservoir quality in the southern part of the Tahe
area is relatively poor because it is covered by insoluble formations during karstification. Observations of
cores and analyses of images of well logging demonstrate that these reservoirs are dominated by caves,
vugs and fractures that have developed near faults. We speculate that the faults penetrating insoluble
formations represent the main dissolution passages that originally developed these karstic fault systems.
Additionally, we analyse a series of outcrops, seismic data, and structures to characterize the spatial
geometry of these major faults and their surrounding fractures in detail. Most of these are strike-slip
faults, and their subsequent reservoirs can be divided into three categories based on their development, including dendritic, sandwich and slab reservoirs. Recent studies demonstrate that karstic fault
reservoirs are most common traps in the study area. Although various types of carbonate karstic fault
reservoirs are represented in this region, the dendritic karstic fault reservoir is the most hydrocarbonrich.
Guided by these initial results, 108 wells were drilled from 2013 to 2014, producing 485 thousand tons
of oil and yielding success ratios greater than 89%. The average production of dendritic reservoirs is 37.4
tons per day (t/d), while those of sandwich and slab types are 20.2 t/d and 14.0 t/d, respectively. These
results represent significant references for future hydrocarbon exploration and the development of
similar deeply buried karstic fault reservoirs in the Tarim Basin and elsewhere.
