In order to understand the exploration and development potential of tight oil in the oil field exploration and development stage, the reservoir characteristics of Chang 6 oil formation in Ansai area of Ordos Basin were studied. In this paper, the reservoir characteristics are studied by using aseries of experimental data, such as cast sheet, cathodoluminescence, electron probe, conventional mercury injection, constant rate mercury injection experiment, scanning electron microscope, etc. The results show that the lithologic characteristics of Chang 6 reservoir group in Ansai area are mainly feldspathic sandstone, accounting for 64.57%, followed by lithic feldspathic sandstone accounting for 31.36%, the sum of the two accounting for 95.93%. Pores are most developed in Ansai area, and the interstitial materials are mainly chlorite, kaolinite and illite. Primary intergranular pores are mainly developed in this area. Besides primary intergranular pores, there are also some feldspar dissolved pores in Ansai region. There are many laumontite dissolved pores in this region. The reservoir type in Ansai region is “low porosity and ultra low permeability”, but the Chang 6 member reservoir in Ansai region is very well characterized by “low porosity and ultra low permeability”.
