Abstract
The mega-thick oil-bearing sandstone has been discovered in the Jurassic Sy stem in the Tula Basin, among which there are asphalt veins in fractures. T he crude oil from oil-bearing sandstone and asphalt in the basin is mature, and similar to that of the Jurassic crude oil in the Qaidam Basin in geoch emistry. The discovery not only shows that the Tula Basin can generate hydr ocarbon and take on great exploration prospects but also has great implicat ions for the oil and gas exploration in the Qaidam Basin.
