Abstract

The proved oil and gas reserves are distributed variedly around the world,among which the Middle East boasts the largest oil and gas reserves.Global giant oil-gas fields can be grouped into 27 accumulation areas,the tectonic settings of which can be categorized into 6 types.According to perspective of tectonic settings,most of them fall into the categories of continental rifts and passive margins.This paper also briefly introduces the tectonic settings and oil-gas geological characteristics of Ghawar oil field and Urengoy gas field.
This paper introduces briefly and comprehensively the globally proved reserves of oil and gas (i.e.residual recoverable reserves,reserve and production ratio),the geographical distribution and characteristics of giant size oil-gas accumulation regions,the discovery and distribution features of giant oil-gas fields and their proportion in the oil and gas reserves,as well as the geotectonic types in the giant size oil-gas accumulation regions.We also take an example to introduce the geological settings of typical giant oil-gas fields.
