By the research of geological conditions of geotherm in Lanzhou-Minhe basin, it is considered that the basin lies east section of Middle Qilian Upfold Belt and on the deepstope belt of crustal thickness, where the deep and great faults with NWW and NNW direction become ascending channels for deep thermal source,and control the distribution of geotemperature.

Porosity development in the hydrocarbon reservoirs of the Bazhou depression,Minhe Basin;

Oil & gas filling and injection history and oil & gas bearing system: a case study of tight sandstone oil reservoir in Minhe basin;

In order to forecast the oil-gas exploration potential of Minghe Basin, the geochemistry characteristics of natural gas in the basin are studied and it is found out that the natural gas mainly consists of coalbed methane and CO_2.

Poor reservoir property is the main constrained factor for oil and gas exploration to obtain a significant breakthrough in Minghe basin.
