The oil from the Well Tadong 2 ( TD2 ) in the Cambrian reservoir in eastern Tarim Basin contains high concentration of 4-methyl steranes, dinosteranes and their aromatic dinosteroids, which is different from heavy oils discovered in the Lunnan area and their Middle-Upper Ordovician source rocks, suggesting a clear affinity with the Cambrian source rock extracts but distinctly. Present maturity of the Cambrian source rocks is as high as 2. 67%-2. 75% VRE. Burial history and hydrocarbon generation history analysis suggest that major liquid hydrocarbon generation time from this source rock suite was in the Middle and Late Ordovician and petroleum generation process was rapidly completed within 10 Ma. All these indicate that the oil accumulation has been severely affected by high temperature processes, which caused oil densification and cracking to gas. During subsequent stratigraphic elevation after the Devonian, TD2 oil pool was uplifted to 1730m undersurface and reservoir temperature dropped to about 70℃( brine inclusion homogenization temperature of 50-90℃). Newly formed fractures and tectonic fissures linked up early accumulated oil and gas in the Cambrian fissure system, leading to oil and gas diffusion upward and biodegradation. High concentration of 25-norhopanes occurrence in oil is one obvious result of biodegradation, which causes further oil densification. Discovery of TD2 heavy oil inspire some new considerations. An oil pool formed more than 400Ma ago, which has experienced paleotemperature of higher than 200℃, can be preserved till present, indicating much higher oil stability than previously believed.
