The geologic background of source rock development and the properties and distribution of source rocks in the Jiuxi Basin were analyzed, including the relationship of the petroleum-generating period to the trap-developing period, the direction and pathway of petroleum migration, the characteristics and distribution of reservoir rocks, regional cover rock distribution and pool-forming rules, as well as the generation, storage, capping, migration, trapping and preservation of petroleum in the basin. The main petroleum pool-forming conditions that restrict the Jiuxi Basin, and favorable exploration domains and targets, are discussed.
