Abstract: In order to study the causes of differential enrichment of oil and gas in Lüda 16 Oilfield, we identified the convergence ridge of oil source fracture and evaluated their transporting capacity, and explored the controling effect of the convergence ridges of fault on the distribution of oil and gas by means of three-dimensional seismic, curvature property of faults and threedimensional thermal history simulation etc. The results show there are 10 convergence ridges developing in oil source faults in the study area. The transport abilities of converging ridges differ noticeable due to by the coupling of bending degree, matching relationship between activity and source rock and strike-slip tectonic stress. The comparison of drilling results shows that the convergence ridge of fault has obvious control effect on hydrocarbon accumulation:(1) converging ridges of faults control the shallow hydrocarbon distribution; (2) the transport ability of converging ridges control hydrocarbon enrichment degree of fault blocks. The study of convergence ridges of faults has important guiding significance for oil and gas exploration in complex fault block areas. The study can provide technical support and theoretical reference for the optimization of high-abundance fault blocks in complex fault areas.

Key words: convergence ridges of faults, curvature property of faults, transport capacity, quantitative evaluation, controlling effect on hydrocarbon accumulation
