Petroleum Resource Exploration System: As the Dongying Depression, Bohai Bay Basin, China

Abstract

Bohai Bay Basin is a hot area for research marine petroleum. Petroleum System is an important method to study petroleum. However, facing on more complicated middle-high graded petroleum exploration area, formerly elements of the Petroleum System are not enough to cover all factors. Hydrocarbon was controlled by main migration path, additionally the complicated mechanism and controlling factors in a formed oil-gas pool are carefully considered. We put “track down (oil-gas reservoir) by following clues (the main migration path of petroleum)” based on the Dongying Depression data, and drill the best of all targets for oil-gas reservoir on the condition of revealing oil resource. The venture of petroleum exploration can be reduced farthest, and the benefit of petroleum exploration can be increased farthest by the method.
