Re-exploration Programs for Petroleum-Rich Sags in Rift Basins

Continental rifted basins have been well-developed in eastern China, and hydrocarbon exploration has been carried out there since the 1960s. However, after 50 years of exploitation, Bohai Bay faced several challenges. Although working processes and techniques for deepening exploration of petroleum-rich depressions have been developed, nobody has considered petroleum-rich sags as a whole in exploration. As a result, neither a systematic theory nor an overall working method has been formed. Re-exploration Programs for Petroleum-Rich Sags in Rift Basins covers the geological characteristics and potential of oil-rich depressions in a rifted basin. It describes up-to-date research and technology, detailing the current status of exploration. The overall aim of the book is to guide a new round of hydrocarbon exploration of petroleum-rich depressions, contributing to a breakthrough in re-exploration and a substantial increase in reserves. The title discusses three main areas: Reservoir forming theory of oil-rich depressions, including the formation of a reservoir in a trough, characters of hydrocarbon migration and accumulation in a weak structure slope, and key elements of reservoir forming of deep buried hills and inner curtain; key techniques of oil-rich depressions and exploration, including large-scale high-resolution joint 3D seismic technology, complex subtle reservoir recognition techniques, deep layer and buried hill high speed drill technology, recognition of buried hill reservoir and hydrocarbon, and high efficiency enhanced oil recovery; and finally, methods of secondary exploration of oil-rich depressions, and development of a workflow to guide research and exploration. Provides up-to date knowledge and expertise on the geological characteristics and potential of oil-rich depressions in a rifted basinBased on a decade of experience, program deployment, and geological theory on continental basin explorationGives practical guidance for exploiting green and brown fieldsHelps the reader understand how to increase reserves and productionMay be used as a guidebook for sustainable large-scale exploration and exploitation of a continental rifted basin INDICE: 1.
