burial ground
8.The authors consider that the Tarim basin is characterized by special geological conditions, i. e. low geothermal gradients, rapid subsidence and short-term deep burial of the rocks after the Neogene, dissolution of rock grains and ground-mass by acid formation water and unconformities and fracture systems formed by multiple tectonic movements, which have improved the performance of the reservoirs. The favorable sedimentary facies belt has provided a good material basis for the develop of the high-quality reservoirs.
