The Ordos Basin is one of the largest proliferous basins and also one of the most important uranium-bearing basins in China. It is characterized by the coexistence of petroleum and uranium in the northern part of the basin. To understand the coexistence mechanism, more studies are called for on the genesis of sandstone-type uranium deposits in the northern part of the basin, especially on the role of hydrocarbon in uranium mineralization.
