To investigate the mechanisms of deep oil–gas accumulation in superimposed basins in western China, and identify deep oil–gas reserves in the Junggar Basin, this study examined Carboniferous reservoirs in the Central Depression of the basin. We determined the hydrocarbon physical properties and geoc...
