和田河气田是塔里木盆地在古生界克拉通地区迄今发现的一个最大气田,探明地质储量为616.94×108m3.和田河气田主要产层为石炭系巴楚组的生屑灰岩段、砂砾岩段和奥陶系碳酸盐岩潜山.天然气主要为源自寒武系烃源岩的原油裂解气,经历了晚加里东-早海西期油藏的形成、晚海西期天然气的运聚与散失与喜马拉雅期和田河次生天然气藏形成的3个主要阶段.和田河气田发现的最大意义就是在古生界克拉通地区的新构造运动圈闭中可以形成大气田. The Hetianhe gas field is one of the largest gas fields found in the Palaeozoic in the Paleozoic in the Tarim Basin, with proven geological reserves of 616.94 × 108 m3. The main production zone of the Hetianhe Gas Field is the bioclastics section of the Carboniferous Bachu Formation, glutenite And Ordovician Carbonate Boreholes.The natural gas is mainly crude oil cracked gas from Cambrian source rocks, which experienced the formation of the Late Caledonian-Early Hercynian reservoirs and the natural gas transport in the late Hercynian. Convergence and dissipation, and the formation of the Himalayan Hetianhe natural gas reservoir in the three major phases.The greatest significance of the Hetianhe gas field discovery is the formation of large gas fields in the neotectonic traps in the Palaeozoic craton region.
