For Ordovician carbonate reservoirs in Tazhong area, the heterogeneity is high and the continuity is poor. Distributions of oil, gas and water are extremely complex. Therefore, simply using vertical wells to develop is not ideal. It is necessary to combine deployment meth-od with horizontal wells. According to economic benefits comparison of horizontal wells and vertical wells, this paper summarized four suit-able types for horizontal wells development of carbonate reservoirs:multi-fracture-cavity unit reservoirs, thin bed reservoirs, edge-bottom water reservoirs and vuggy reservoirs. By analyzing the deliverability of these horizontal wells, results suggested that the developmental char-acteristic of reservoir was the base, the trajectory design of horizontal well was the key factor for the migration of oil and gas,and the petro-leum engineering is the guarantee of high capacity oil-gas stream. Considering the influence factors above, carbonate reservoirs in Tazhong area can be more e
