The main component of hydrocarbon reservoir formation is source rock, and the quality and distribution of source rock will affect oil and gas exploration and later development. If high-quality source rocks can be developed in the basin, it will have a positive effect on its development and accumulation. Taking the X basin in China as an example, this paper focuses on analyzing the development characteristics of high-quality source rocks in the basin and their contribution to reservoir formation. Various analysis methods are used to analyze the controlling factors of source rock development in different regions (salt-bearing and salt-free regions), and the oil and gas charging situation is understood by combining fluid inclusions and other methods. Finally, the following conclusions are drawn: The development conditions of high-quality source rocks are humid climate and saline water environment, and the oil inclusions in different regions of the basin can make effective contributions to the reservoir.
