Abstract: A research was conducted on the differences between tight sandstones and normal sandstones of the oil charging dynamics through the analysis of dynamic characteristics and its effects on oil migration. The tight oil migration distance and accumulation mechanism were also discussed. In addition, we analyzed the effect of mudstone barriers and fractures on oil accumulation in tight sandstones, and concluded that:in tight sandstones, mudstone barriers can block oil migration, and lead to the blank-zones near the barriers; the sand bodies directly contacted with fractures are the most possible targets for oil accumulation.

Key words: tight oil, migration dynamics, hydrocarbon accumulation, mudstone barriers, fractured reservoir of tight sandstones, reservoir
