Petroleum Resources

This division focuses on the study of the distribution and formation mechanisms of oil-gas formations in continental and marine regions of China through the development and implementation of geophysical prospecting technologies and geological methods. This includes sedimentology, seismology, seismic and non-seismic prospecting technologies, and basin fluid-rock interactions. The division aims to determine the key laws governing the distributions of oil-gas resources in Chinese through the comprehensive use of geological and geophysical methods, thus providing theories and technologies for oil-gas resource explorations in China.
