Abstract: As study proved, the oil and gas accumulation in the western Qaidam was mainly controlled by the late Himalayan tectonic events, and the effective source rocks led to oil and gas distributed around the five main hydrocarbon generation centers or along the relative nearby slope zones. The paleostructures and those structures with paleotectonic situation were the major areas of hydrocarbon accumulation, and faultsystems and their combinations with reservoirs controlled the lateral and longitudinal distribution of oil and gas. These conclusions on hydrocarbon distribution regularities establish the theoretical foundation for the future petroleum exploration, and imply the exploration directions for recent petroleum exploration.
