Fault-fracture bodies are developed in the southwestern margin of Ordos Basin， and thus， the study on the controlling effect of fracture bodies on sweet spot distribution of Yanchang Formation reservoirs needs to be deepened. In this paper， based on the extensive seismic and logging interpretation results， the characteristics of fault-fracture bodies are described from the point of view of their evolution mechanism， and then the controlling effect of fault-fracture bodies on oil and gas is systematically discussed. The results show that vertical strike-slip faults are developed in the southwest margin of Ordos Basin， with Y-shaped， flower-like， and negative flower-like structures. The faults usually pass through the bottom of Chang 7 Member， the bottom of Yan’an Formation，the bottom of the Cretaceous series， and the basement. Some of the faults retain the early reverse fault properties， indicating that the late inversion degree is not complete. The main fault has different shapes and migrations in different parts， and the section shows the cyclic transformation of tension-torsion and compression-torsion properties. On the plane， different types of fracture combinations appear alternately. The development model of strike-slip faults is established， and the strike-slip faults have typical characteristics of “multi-stage activity and inherited development”. Chang 8 Member mainly develops vertical fractures and horizontal bedding fractures.The development frequency of horizontal bedding fractures is 62.5%， while that of vertical fractures is 37.5%. The oil level of vertical fractures is relatively higher. Fractures are mainly developed in fine sandstone in distributary channels. When the distance from the main fault is greater than 1.25-1.5 km， the degree of fracture development decreases sharply， showing a fault-fracture body boundary. In addition， fractures are relatively developed in the single sand body within 6 m from the main fault. When the thickness of the single sand body exceeds 6 m， the degree of fracture development decreases sharply. The study shows that the index system based on sedimentation （foundation）， structure （dominant）， and fracture （effective） can effectively predict the favorable zones of Chang 8 fault-fracture body reservoir.
