Abstract

Abstract The current evaluation methods mainly focus on plays without hydrocarbon discoveries. By integrating three techniques, i.e., spatial quantitative prediction technology of hydrocarbon bearing probability, overlapping processing technology for multi-layer spatial hydrocarbon bearing probability, petroleum resources abundance fractal simulation restricted by corresponding spatial hydrocarbon bearing probability, a new fine evaluation method was put forward. This method, based on spatial grids and combining planar and vertical evaluation results, focuses on the assessment of multi-layer plays. Compared with the present methods, it has advantages such as comprehensive assessment, precise processing results, comprehensive data collection and application, exploration effectiveness. By this Method, 38 secondary structural belts in the middle-upper exploration formations in the Turpan-Hami Basin were evaluated. Favorable drilling areas in each belts were pointed out based on the spatial probability of hydrocarbon bearing. Their corresponding geological favorability index and residual oil resources revealed that the Shengbei, Huoyanshan, Lukeqin, Shanle Structural Belts are the most favorable belts for exploration.
