Abstract

Through many years of experiment and study, we have worked out a set of our own methods in hydrogeochemical exploration for hydrocarbons comprising of conducting a regional geochemical survey in order to reduce the target region, using the tested experiences in producing area to evaluate the geochemical data in the frontier area, and applying a comprehensive pattern of multi-indicators to predict the favourable oil-belt. The present paper gives some examples which show that good results can be achieved from hydrogeochemical exploration in China. It has been proved by drilling that some hydrogeochemical anomalies provide good evidence of microseepage from an underlying deep reservoir. Therefore, hydrogeochemical anomalies are very useful in delineating the belts of hydrocarbon accumulation in frontier regions.
