甘肃省有10余个沉积盆地含有油气,总资源量近47亿t,探明率只有13%,勘探开发潜力还很大。按未探明剩余资源量大小排序,资源潜力最大的是陇东地区,其余依次是酒西盆地、民和盆地、武威盆地、酒东盆地、潮水盆地、定西盆地、花海-金塔盆地及民乐盆地等。此外,甘肃省还有油页岩等非常规油气资源,分布于天祝县炭山岭、兰州市窑街和华亭县等地的油页岩探明储量达5.2亿t,同样具有较好的开发利用前景。

At least 10 oil & gas bearing sedimentary basins exist in Gansu province,China.Though the totall resources amounts to 47×10~8 t,while only 13% of which are identified,so the oil-gas exploitation and production potential is still great.Compositor arranged according to residual resources amount,the Longdong area is the most,and the rest in turn are the Jiuxi basin,the Minhe basin,the Wuwei basin,the Jiudong basin,the Chaoshui basin,the Dingxi basin,the Huahai-Jinta basin and the Minle basin.
