Distribution pattern and main factors controlling hydrocarbon accumulation of global oil and gas-rich deepwater basins

It is observed from distribution of oil and gas-rich basins as well as summary and analysis of main control factor for hydrocarbon accumulation in global deepwater that oil and gas-rich basins in deepwater in the world shows “one horizontal and two vertical” in distribution pattern and that “one ver...

description It is observed from distribution of oil and gas-rich basins as well as summary and analysis of main control factor for hydrocarbon accumulation in global deepwater that oil and gas-rich basins in deepwater in the world shows “one horizontal and two vertical” in distribution pattern and that “one vertical” of deepwater basin group chiefly distributed in Atlantic Ocean from north to south of deepwater oil rich-basin group in the world is under the influence of fault basin group and that deepwater gas-rich basin group along Neo-tethyan tectonic domain and epicontinental basin group in East Africa shows “one horizontal and one vertical” in distribution, being under the influence of “fault basin group in transitional facies”; Comparative analysis and research of main factors for hydrocarbon accumulation in main deepwater oil and gas-rich basins in the world in a systemic way show that main control factors for hydrocarbon accumulation in deepwater oil and gas-rich basin in the world can be reduced to following five types: (1) Reservoir under common control of salt structure, passage system and large turbidite fan; (2) Reservoir under control of source control area and large reservoir body; (3) Reservoir under control of source rock and cap rock control area and large delta; (4) Reservoir under control of source and cover control zone and reef flat; (5) Reservoir under control of source heat control zone, passage system and trap.
