This comprehensive book delves into the intricate processes that shape and evolve massive hydrocarbon reservoirs found in major basins onshore China. It explores the advantages of these basins, including the Sichuan, Tarim, and Ordos Basins, in terms of exploration and research. By systematically analyzing and summarizing the formation conditions, distribution rules, and primary controlling factors of deep oil and gas fields, the book provides valuable insights into the potential of China's onshore deep oil and gas exploration.

Based on this analysis, the book forecasts the exploration prospects of China's onshore deep oil and gas, offering theoretical guidance and technical support for breakthroughs in deep oil and gas exploration and the growth of large-scale reserves.

The book's central focus lies in examining the hydrocarbon generation mechanism of deep-paleo source rocks, exploring the accumulation rules of cross-structural reservoir formation and oil-gas enrichment in ancient strata. It also delves into the interplay between gypsum-salt rocks and carbonate rocks, examines the potential for oil and gas accumulation under salt conditions, and identifies the main controlling factors and distribution rules of deep oil and gas fields.

Through a preliminary grasp of the geological understanding of the formation and distribution of deep-large oil and gas fields, the book sheds light on several key aspects. These include the abundance of hydrocarbon supplied by two types of source kitchens, the presence of three large-scale lithologic reservoir rocks, the control of hydrocarbon accumulation by three paleoes (paleouplift, paleoplatform margin, and paleofaults), and the development of reservoirs across major tectonic periods.

This book serves as a valuable resource for both researchers and students specializing in petroleum geology and related fields. It provides a comprehensive and in-depth exploration of the complex processes that govern the formation and evolution of hydrocarbon reservoirs, offering valuable insights into the potential of China's onshore resources and the challenges faced in deep oil and gas exploration.
