| Summary: | Based on cores, thin sections and drilling data of 18 wells and two outcrop profiles of the Lower-Middle Cambrian in the Tarim Basin, geochemical analysis of multi-parameters in micro-area (the micro-carbonate fabric which is formed under the same diagenetic event or has the same genesis) and reservoir dissolution modeling were carried out to find out the types, origin and distribution of Lower-Middle Cambrian dolomite reservoirs. There develop three types of dolomite reservoirs, margin reef-shoal reservoir, platform interior mound-shoal reservoir and platform interior gypsodolomite reservoir. The rock types include algae dolomite, grain dolomite, and gypsodolomite; the pore types in them include algae framework pores in algae dolomite; intergranular pores, intra-granular dissolved pores, inter-crystalline dissolved pores in grain dolomite and gypsum-dissolved pore gypsodolomite. The primary pores in sediments of reef-shoal facies and gypsodolomite flat are the key to the development of the dolomite reservoirs, some aragonite and calcite are the material basis of dissolution in early supergene stage, and the dolomite formed in penecontemporaneous dolomitization acts as strong rock skeleton to protect the primary pores from destructive effect in burial stage. The margin reef-shoal reservoirs, large in scale and good in physical properties, are the most practical exploration targets; furthermore, the platform interior reef-shoal reservoirs in Lower Cambrian Xiaoerbulake Formation and platform interior gypsodolomite reservoir in the Middle-Lower Cambrian have higher oil and gas potential. Key words: Tarim Basin, Lower-Middle Cambrian, dolomite reservoir, margin reef-shoal, platform interior reef-shoal, platform interior gypsodolomite
