In recent years, new oil reservoirs have been discovered in the middle Jurassic tight mixed rocks of the Turpan–Hami Basin. However, the generation potential of the J 2 q 2  source rocks remains poorly understood. Petrographic, petrological, and geochemical analyses were carried out to assess the quality of the J 2 q 2  source and reservoir rocks. The hydrocarbon generation potential method was utilized to evaluate the hydrocarbon generation and expulsion potentials. The results indicated that the rocks can be classified as high-quality source rocks with a relative lower degree of maturity. The hydrocarbon bearing zones are classified as tight reservoirs (average porosity of 5.90% and permeability of 0.18 mD) with an average pore throat radius &gt;150 nm, which is higher than the cut-off pore-throat radius. The source rocks start to expel hydrocarbons when R o % is 0.56%. Bulk hydrocarbon generation and expulsion intensities in the center of the study area were calculated with the values of 900 × 10 4  t/km 2  and 400 × 10 4  t/km 2 , while the weights of these hydrocarbons were 48.8 × 10 8  t and 27.3 × 10 8  t, respectively. The tight oil reservoir-forming conditions are superior, and the hydrocarbon generation and expulsion intensities are more remarkable in controlling the tight oil distribution. This study provides an important example for the Jurassic source rocks in Western China, and indicates that middle Jurassic lacustrine source rocks deserve attention in future exploration.
