The characteristics and indicators for the crust of different layers are different. Effective reservoirs are developed within the leached zone and broken-down zone I. Weathered thickness is controlled by leaching time. The maximum thickness of weathered volcanic crust is about 550 m corresponding to the leaching time of 46.3 Ma. The physical properties of weathered volcanic crust are controlled by litho-facies and weathered intensity. Faults and fractures are the main controlling factors of the percolation ability of weathered volcanic reservoirs. The closer the reservoir is to the fault zone,
