Abstract
The analyses of light hydrocarbons in oils from the Tarim Basin show that the Mango’s parameterK is about unity except those oils trapped in the eastern part of the Tazhong (Central Tarim) Fault Uplift. The regular variance ofK may indicates the accumulation and admixture of the oil populations in the eastern part of the Tazhong Fault Uplift.
