Abstract: In order to study the development characteristics of karst paleogeomorphology and the spatial distribution pattern of reservoir in the southeastern Ordos Basin, based on data from cores, well logging, outcrop, seismic data, and laboratory testing, several methods, such as paleo-geological mapping, residual thickness, and impression and geophysical attributes, are used for comprehensive analysis. Results show that the karst paleogeomorphology of the Ordovician in the southeastern Ordos Basin is as follows: “The west and the southwest areas are highlands, where saddles and platforms are developed. Water funnels into sags between platforms and flows eastward along the slope. Mounds and platforms are formed in the slope, between which there are several grooves. Water in the grooves finally funnels into the basin. There are sags and mounds in the basin.” The study shows that, in residual mounds, karst highlands, and transitional parts of karst platforms in karst slopes, as well as in the slope zones of the up-dip parts of paleo grooves, karstification is strong and dissolution pores are well developed. Due to the influence of later diagenesis such as compaction, cementation, metasomatism and dissolution, primary pores are rarely preserved. The reservoir space is mainly composed of nanometer-scale intercrystalline pores, followed by micro-scale dissolution pores. According to the distribution patterns of karst paleogeomorphology and paleo groove networks, and the spatial distribution characteristics of reservoir space, the slope zones and residual mound areas controlled by paleo grooves and the geomorphic transition belts in karst highlands are the key areas for hydrocarbon exploration and development.
