Abstract:

Based on the Bohai drilling and 3D seismic data, lithology, stratigraphy and structural features of the Pre-Cenozoic basement in the Bohai sea have been integrated. The Bohai sea basement is divided into three structural layers: Pre-Cambrian, Paleozoic and Mesozoic. Distribution characteristics of the residual layers in each structural layer are discussed, and the basement structure is divided into three types: single, double and three level. Tectonic evolution of the basement comprises six stages: vertical rise and fall, strong extrusion, local extension, strong extension and inversion, overall uplift, stretch and strike-slip compound transformation. Combining the rock sheet and material data, the development regularity of the basement reservoir is explored. Precambrian metamorphic rocks of the single-layer type, carbonate or volcanic rocks at the top of the double-layer type, and Mesozoic volcanic rocks at the top of the three-layer type are favorable exploration targets. Buried hill around the hydrocarbon rich sag has a good exploration potential under the coupling of lithology and oil-supply window.

Key words: Bohai sea, basement structure, buried hill, Pre-Cenozoic, oil and gas exploration
