Abstract:

By statistic of distribution of basins and typical deep oil and gas fields in the world, the deep gas and oil are distributed mainly in the foreland basins, passive continent margins, and rift basins and intermountain.Source rocks mainly consist of Paleozoic and Mesozoic shale or mudstone.Low geothermal gradient and abnormal high pressure are favorable for the deep oil and gas formation.Lithology of deep oil and gas reservoirs are mainly clastic rocks and carbonate rocks in Paleozoic and Mesozoic.The formation and preservation of high quality reservoir is constrained by favorable facies zones, low geothermal gradients, diagenetic process (i.e.including cement dissolution and dolomitization process), abnormal high pressure, early entrapment of hydrocarbons and fracture development, etc.The deep oil and gas accumulation is controlled by geological background of foreland basins or passive continental margin basins, good assemblage of reservoir and cap, and abnormally high pressure.These factors are important to the deep oil and gas exploration.

Key words: Deep reservoir, Low geothermal gradient, Gypsum, Abnormal high pressure, Hydrocarbon accumulation.
