To review the theoretical mechanisms and technological advancements enabling commercial oil and gas exploration and development in ultra-deep marine carbonate reservoirs.
Dynamic geological assessment analyzing hydrocarbon generation, reservoir formation, and accumulation conditions across superposed basins.
Review of desert seismic acquisition, high-resolution imaging, and structural interpretation of strike-slip faults and associated fracture-cavity systems.
Synthesis of geology-engineering integration strategies, including 3D well trajectory optimization, efficient drilling, and reservoir stimulation.
Demonstrated that prolonged low-temperature conditions in Lower Cambrian Yuertusi Formation source rocks enabled continuous late-stage liquid hydrocarbon generation.
Identified strike-slip fault zones in tectonically stable areas as the primary control for reservoir development, successfully redirecting exploration to lower uplift structures.
Established integrated geophysical workflows for the quantitative characterization of fault-controlled traps, cavity networks, and drilling target optimization.
