     The gas industry in China shows excellent developing trends: firstly, from count ry poor in natural gas to the one rich in it. In 2005, the gas output has reache d near 500×108 m3; secondly, the theory of natural gas exploration develops  from monism(oil type gas-generating theories) to dualism(oil-type and coal-f ormed gas-generating theories); thirdly, the increasing gas output calls for st rengthening in natural gas exploration and development. During the past more tha n 20 years, the natural gas geological theories have developed much: The coal me asure source rocks mainly generate gas with minor oil; the identification index  with high credibility and accuracy on various natural gases have been set up; th e studies on the controlling factors of great gas field formation, by quantifica tion or semi-quantification; the carbonate with TOC content about or lower than  0.2% can hardly be regarded as sources rocks and the TOC content of effective c arbonate source rocks must reaches or more than 0.5%. Not only the abiogenic gas  exists in the nature, but also can it form gas pools. Several CO2 gas pools h ave been found in eastern basins of China. And the first abiogenic alcane gas re servoir in the world has been.

    The flowing groundwater in coal measure can affect the c oalbed gas content largely. Both in horizontal and vertical directions, that in  the area with stronger hydrodynamics, the gas content in coal is lower. However,  in areas with weaker hydrodynamics, or stagnant area, the coal usually has high  gas content. In coal mine production, the area with active groundwater has litt le gas outburst or no outburst. In the excavation area with weak or stagnant hyd rodynamics, the gas outburst usually happed with large amount of released gas. A ccording above, the stagnant water controlling is put forward.

    Some different comments of tectonics in Kuqa area are presented, which will prof it exploration and exploitation of natural gas. It is usual viewpoint that the a rea is always in compressed tectonic background since late stage of Oligocene. I t is adverted that Cenozoic stratum is not only involved by nappe tectonics, but  also remodeled by NS extensional tectonics. There are five class of extensional  tectonics: Fault-block Tectonics, which develops in the after part of compress ed geologic body; Antithetic extensional tectonic (antithetic normal fault); Lat eral extensional tectonic (lateral normal fault); Inverse extensional tectonic ( negative inversion-tectonics); Taphrogenic extensional tectonic (normal graben) , which develops in the uplift of compressed geologic body. The geologic body ha ppens fold and thrust early because of extrusion and fault-block later because  of stretch in the same area, and thrust in the foreside because of extrusion and  normal fault in the backside because of stretch on the same time. The extension al tectonics exists in the margin of basins in northwest China, which is usually  negated, and develops together with nappe tectonic.

    Mixed water dolomization is the basis of platform fringing oolitic beach reservoir of Feixianguan group. With the petrologic analysis of dolomite, the geochemistry analysis as well as the speculation of temperature and depth, it is proved that dolomization came into being in mixed water. The authors summarize the dolomization genetic model of oolitic beach reservoir. The mixed water dolomization is mainly controlled by frequent change of the sea level.

    The basic petroleum geological cond ition analysis is the premise for oil-gas exploration, but the particularity an alysis is the key point for finding the most effective cut-in way for oil-gas  exploration. The particularity of subtle traps formation and subtle reservoirs m ainly show in the following points: the property of Tuha basin and structure cha racteristics- a long and narrow multi-recycle stacked basin; sedimentary syste m-two directions (north and south) short sediment sources sedimentary systems;  the geological background of subtle reservoir-lower generation and upper reserv oir, structural slope character of south slope; subtle traps for oil-gas occurr ing-fault connected with source rock and lateral fault must be existing; subtle  reservoir-space accumulated with oil-gas of subtle traps are small, sandstone s for oil-gas reservoir are thin and reserves of single trap are small. Accordi ng the conditions mentioned above, the subtle reservoirs exploration of Shengbei  depression must be clinging to stated structural background, and the south wing  of Shengbei structural zone, a crossover region of north and south sediment sou rces, is an available area for subtle traps developing and subtle reservoirs exp loration.

    Recognizing the water saturation in tight gas reservoirs directly affects reserv es evaluation and development measurement of the gas reservoirs. Sealed coring a nd log interpretation show there is an ultra-low water saturation in tight gas  reservoirs in northern Ordos basin, the initial water saturation in tight gas re servoirs is between 20% and 30%, which is far below the irreducible water satura tion. This article believe that the mechanism of forming ultra-low water satura tion in tight gas reservoirs is the result of the process of removing water duri ng hydrocarbon generating, then proving the conclusion by an experiment. The eff ects of isolation of mudstone, the variation of relative permeability between wa ter and gas in gas and water transitional zone, the continual gas accumulation i ncreasing the pressure in tight gas reservoirs are main issues for sustaining ul tra-low water saturation.

    By applying of sequence stratigraphy principle, connecting with the data of outc rop and core, the strata in Yanchang formation in Ansai district have been divid ed into S1, S2, S3 and S4. Beside the S4 which lost the highstand system tract ( HST), the others possess the lowstand system tract (LST), the transgressive syst em tract(TST) and the HST. Every system tract is made of different stratigraphic  pattern. The sequences in studying area control the assemblage of source, reser voirs and caps and the distribution of reservoirs as well as the performance of  reservoirs. So Chang 7 that lie in the maximum flooding surface is the main sour ce rock. Chang 9, Chang 4+5 and Chang 1 that lie in the TST either have the abil ity of producing oil or can became the caps. Chang 6, Chang 3 and Chang 2 that b elong to the LST possess good reservoirs. Chang 8 lie in the LST will became the  next exploration aim.

    Sebei gas field is the fourth one in China. Its pay-zone is unconsolidation Qua ternary fine-silty and dirty sandstones, alternating with gas and water layers,  with severe sand production. Grain size of the sand is very fine, so sand contr ol here is very difficult, it is cosmopolitan puzzle. We have succeeded in appl ying a series of techniques of comprehensive sand control using fiber-complex p ack. The technique uses formation pretreatment (soft fiber, its branched chain w ith electric charge adsorbs on fine siltstones and forms big aggregations of fin e siltstones.). special fibers and resin-coated sand complex to stabilize pack.  Using high pressure pack to form the fiber complex annularity of well and to in crease productivity, It bypasses near well bore damage. This combined rehabilita tion technique enables screenless sand control completion. The technique was app lied in Se 7-1-4 well;  the results are remarkable. After the sand control tre atment, sand was not found even the gas production rate is 2 1 times that of be f ore. This paper presents lab study, operation design, well selection principle,  field operation and result analysis about the sand control techniFormation que.

     The Fluid-solid coupling method is usually adopted both at home and aboard, in  the numerical simulation of deformable media gas reservoirs. Though totally feas ible in theory, The Fluid-solid coupling method meets very great difficulty in  practical applications, due to the uncertainty of rock deformation type and the  complexity of the solution of the model. The accurate numerical simulation of de formable media gas reservoirs is realized by the introduction of the relationshi p curve of dimensionless permeability and dimensionless pressure. The results of  laboratory testing can be utilized directly in this method and it is very simple.

    Molecular nitrogen is one of most common non-hydrocar bon components in natural gas reservoirs. The origin of molecular nitrogen in na tural gas can be classified to be three types, according to its origin, that is,  atmospheric nitrogen resource, bio-genesis resource and deep crust and upper- mantle resource correspondingly. Based on the nitrogen preserve, distribution an d some geochemistry properties, and combined with the volcanic history of Tarim  basin, the genesis of molecular nitrogen in natural gas has been comprehensively  analyzed in the paper. The study shows:① the gas pool in the shallow part (suc h as Cretateous), the average relative abundance of nitrogen is lower 5 percent,  and its main origin is from atmospheric nitrogen, and its exploration risk coef ficient is relatively lower;② the middle part (such as Carboniferous, Permian),  its origin of nitrogen is relatively complex, which main resource is from the d eep mantle or bio-genesis. The average relative abundance of nitrogen is about  20 percent, and its exploration lies in between; ③ the deep part gas pool (such  as Ordivician), the average relative abundance of nitrogen is variable, thepoor
    -nitrogen gas pool, its main resource is from bio-genesis, while the rich-nit rogen gas pool, its main resource is from the deep mantle and is related with th e metamorphic rock, its exploration risk coefficient is relatively higher.

    It is importan to analyze the continuity of fluids in rese rvoirs in developemnt geology. The condition of the continuity of reservoirs is  relate to not only the location of production well and the perforated interval b ut also the location of input well and the efficiency of injection of water. The  techniques of the fignerprints of gas chromatograms and spectrophotometry have   been applied to the vertical and lateral continuity of the reservoirs. The indu strial scale oil was found by penetrating at shallow zone (305 m) in well S1-26 -1. The result of testing once at shallow zone suggested that there was merely  oil trace, not industrial scale oil. So it is doubted that the industrial scale  oil come from the mid-deep level because of the leaky casings. The results of s tudy on the continuity of oil between well S1-26-1 and near this well show tha t the oil of well S1-26-1 come from the shallow zone.

    This paper deeply discussed the excellent chara cteristics of S transform (ST). By replacing the basic wavelet in the ST with ac tual seismic wavelet which was extracted from seismic data, the general S transf orm (GST) was achieved in the seismic data analysis. The general“three instanta neous” attribute (namely general instantaneous amplitude, frequency and phase)  can be extracted from single frequency complex seismic trace which is produced b y S transform. When the reservoir was filled with gas or oil, the reflected seis mic energy would be attenuated in high frequency and be enhanced in low frequenc y. Therefore, Hydrocarbon can be detected through the low-frequency instantaneo us energy spectrum based on GST. Moreover, this method had succeed in several ar eas such as Indonesia, Tarim and Junggar.

     At present, seismic data interpretation, velocity analysis, time-depth conversi ons usually are completed on one interpretative software. As we know, every inte rpretative software application has its advantages and disadvantages. Only using  one kind of interpretative software in complicated structure area can't meet th e needs of each work assignment. We analyze the advantages and disadvantages of  two mapping modules CPS-3 and Z-Map Plus in GeoQuest and Landmark respectively . The functions of the velocity analysis module InDepth have been perfected and  data transmission between CPS-3 and Z-Map Plus was achieved. With in a complic ated structure area of inconsistent datum plane between seismic section and velo city spectrum, a new method of time-depth conversion has been used to make the  structural map. A 3D velocity field of high accuracy is found and time-depth co nversion is completed on a datum plane of velocity spectrum to make the structur al map by combining CPS-3 and Z-MAP Plus. Three dimensions visual software Ea rth Vision is applied to display final structural map. This method was applied a nd achieved success in the C area.
