Abstract: The characteristics of Sinian-Cambrian source rocks were analyzed comprehensively by using drilling and outcrop data etc. The results show that the source rocks in Doushantuo Formation and Qiongzhusi Formation have mainly Type I organic matter, average TOC of 1.38% and 1.29%, and average Ro of 2.5% and 2.22% respectively, and are both in high-over mature stage. Based on the thermal evolution index of Well Chi7, the Baker-Ro model was determined to be suitable for Ro history simulation. Through experimental test and comparison study, the hydrocarbon generation rate curve and organic carbon restoration coefficient were corrected, and the gas migration & accumulation factor of the eastern Sichuan Basin was determined at 0.4%. Then, the basin simulation was carried out. It is found that:(1) the quantity of gas generated by the pre-salt source rocks in the eastern Sichuan Basin is 192.54×1012m3, and the gas resources are 7701×108m3; and (2) the Datianchi-Shuangjiaba-Mingyuexia structural belt in the south of Kaijiang-Xuanhan paleo-uplift, and the Fangdoushan-Dachigan structural belt in the east of the eastern Sichuan Basin are on the direction of oil and gas migration, where the pre-salt Cambrian Longwangmiao Formation and Sinian Dengying Formation are favorable exploration strata.
