Title: PETROLIFEROUS SYSTEMS AND PETROLEUM EXPLORATION TARGETS IN THE SOUTH YELLOW SEA BASIN
Abstract: The South Yellow Sea basin is China's only offshore petroliferous basin whose oil and gas flows have not come up to the industrial standard,and whoes petroleum potential has become a public interest.In light of former cognitions and new research results and also according to the method of petroleum system,the basic unit of system is proposed to have a single center of oil generating depression.Six sags of the south and north depressions in the South Yellow Sea basin were analyzed.Each system has its own combination of the source-reservoir-caprock,migration path and distribution.According to oil-rock correlation,there are two petroleum systems in the South Yellow Sea basin.One is Taizhou Formation petroleum system of the northern sag,the other is Funing Formation petroleum system of the fourth southern sag.It is suggested that hydrocarbon exploration should first aim at the oil pools of Taizhou Formation petroleum system of the northern sag,and then at the secondary oil pools of Funing Formation petroleum system of the fourth southern sag.
