The study on the geologic characteristics and distribution of hydrocarbon generation and accumulation in the Lower Paleozoic paleokarst reservoir in the Yishan Slope of Ordos Basin,indicates that the reservoir has undergone intraformational syngenetic karst,epigenetic karst development,and buried hydrothermal karst modification in the local area.The paleokarst gas pool was produced from the Upper Paleozoic coal-bearing source rock and the Lower Paleozoic marine source rock,and the Upper Paleozoic coal-bearing source rocks are the main source rocks,the Lower Paleozoic paleokarst reservoir has differential accumulation and distribution in the Yishan slope.Developments of(conventional)low permeability paleokarst gas reservoirs in the western Jingxi area,are mainly lithological traps,dolomit intercrystalline(dissolution)pore,oil-type gas,gas pool is not continuous,with edge water and bottom,local high yield and enrichment.Developments of low permeability gas reservoir in Jingbian area,are mainly palaeogeomorphic-stratigraphic traps,fractured- vuggy pore,coal-type and oil-type of mixture gas,no edge and bottom water,gas pool has large area continuous distribution.Developments of tight paleokarst gas reservoir in the eastern Jingdong area,are mainly palaeogeomorphic-stratigraphic traps,fractured-micropores,localized vuggy pore,coal-type gas,but single well production capacity is low.The accumulation of gas reservoirs is mainly controlled by the following four aspects:(1)Microfacies are the basis for controlling the development of different types of reservoirs;(2)The paleokarst paleomorphology creates differential paleokarst reservoir;(3)The orderly accumulation of multi-source hydrocarbons is the key to the differential of natural gas;(4)The period of Yanshanian tectonic inversion laid the pattern of the distribution of gas pool.
