Abstract

In this paper, the mechanism of hydrocarbon accumulation, exploration thinking, exploration process, exploration method and prospector’s quality have been philosophically recognized. The researches show that the core target of oil and gas exploration is predicting the existence of the oil and gas reservoir, the research on elements of hydrocarbon accumulation and the time-space matching relation between the accumulation process and them is the basis of forecasting reservoirs, the overall coupling analysis of the oil and gas accumulation process and the geodynamic environment evolution in geological history would perfectly predict the existence of the reservoir, the oil and gas exploration process is a information warfare of comprehensively utilizing a variety of limited information, the adaptive exploration techniques and methods should be adapted to the detailed exploration objects and the overall quality of prospector is the basis of being a explorationist.

Highlights

The goal which hydrocarbon exploration workers crave is how to develop the oil and gas exploration scientifically and efficiently! As a university teacher majoring in the field of oil and gas exploration, on the basis of summarizing the previous exploration experience, understanding[1,2] and my personal practices, I philosophically summarize and review the mechanism of hydrocarbon accumulation, exploration strategy or thinking, exploration process, exploration methodology and the quality of prospectors for helping the people who engaged in or planned to work on the petroleum exploration
Invisible underground petroleum reservoirs is objective existence! Prospectors understand the underground petroleum reservoirs based on exploration information, oil exploration process is interaction process of information as an effective media between prospectors and exploration object, especially the oil and gas reservoirs
Petroleum exploration process is an information warfare, that is the limited information from various means would be comprehensively used to predict the existence of the trap and the presence of oil and gas in them

Summary

Introduction

The goal which hydrocarbon exploration workers crave is how to develop the oil and gas exploration scientifically and efficiently! As a university teacher majoring in the field of oil and gas exploration, on the basis of summarizing the previous exploration experience, understanding[1,2] and my personal practices, I philosophically summarize and review the mechanism of hydrocarbon accumulation, exploration strategy or thinking, exploration process, exploration methodology and the quality of prospectors for helping the people who engaged in or planned to work on the petroleum exploration.and along with the evolution of the geological history, it may be changed or even damaged or disappeared. As a university teacher majoring in the field of oil and gas exploration, on the basis of summarizing the previous exploration experience, understanding[1,2] and my personal practices, I philosophically summarize and review the mechanism of hydrocarbon accumulation, exploration strategy or thinking, exploration process, exploration methodology and the quality of prospectors for helping the people who engaged in or planned to work on the petroleum exploration.
