Abstract: In order to clarify the distribution law of overlying oil and gas reservoirs formed by fault conduit in hydrocarbon-bearing basins, based on the study of the conditions required for the formation of overlying oil and gas reservoirs by fault conduit, a set of prediction methods for the favorable site of overlying oil and gas reservoirs formed by fault conduit were established by determining and overlapping the distribution area of underlying oil and gas reservoirs, the area not sealed by the fault-caprock matching of underlying oil and gas reservoirs, the area sealed by the fault-caprock matching of overlying oil and gas reservoirs and the favorable site for oil-gas migration through faults, and applied to the prediction of the favorable site for the formation of hydrocarbon reservoirs from the fault-conducted Nantun Formation to the Damoguaihe Formation in the Hodomol Area of the Beier Sag in the Hailar Basin. The result shows that the favorable site for the formation of hydrocarbon reservoirs from the fault-conducted Nantun Formation to the Damoguaihe Formation in the Hodomol area of the Beier Sag in the Hailar Basin is mainly located within the 3 local areas of the nucleus of the Hodomol nasal structure, which is conducive to the formation of overlying oil and gas reservoirs from the fault-conducted Nantun Formation to the Damoguaihe Formation in the Hodomol Area of the Beier Sag, which coincides with the current distribution of discovered oil and gas in the Damoguaihe Formation in the Hodomol Area of the Beier Sag, indicating that the method is feasible for predicting favorable sites of overlying oil and gas reservoirs formed by fault conduit. The research method has important guiding significance for the exploration and development of overlying oil and gas reservoirs formed by fault conduit in hydrocarbon-bearing basins.
