Abstract: The Tanchou block covers a large-scale salt swell developed within a salt-lake basin, where the structure is very complicated. In recent years, further investigation has been carried out into the structure and evolution in the Tankou block, revealing that this block is an S-shaped embedded structure with the characteristics of salt lake. Based on drilling data and oil and gas discoveries, it is pointed out for the first time that multi-stage slope-break fans are developed in the downthrow side of the syndepostional fault belt in the Tankou bulge, and there are four types of key exploration targets which are 1) structural reservoirs in the margin of the Tankou bulge, 2) beach bar lithologic reservoirs and underwater distributary channel structural-lithologic reservoirs in the eastern and western parts of the Tankou bulge, 3) slopebreak lithologic reservoirs and embedded structural reservoirs in the downthrow side of the syndepostional fault belt in the southern part of the Tankou bulge, and 4) the Xingouzui Formation in the high step-fault zone and the Cretaceous separate-source reservoirs.

Key words: Tankou block, Qianjiang salt lake, structural model, reservoir accumulation condition, exploration potential
