[1] The Tahe oil field is a part of the Akekule Arch which is located in the North Uplift of the Tarim Basin.
This area experienced two events of karstification which affected the Ordovician strata.
The paleokarst reservoirs constituting the Tahe oil field were mostly formed by the younger, early Hercynian karstification.
The paleogeomorphological results indicate that paleokarst structures formed mostly in highlands and slopes during the Hercynian karstification event.
