Abstract:

In order to understand the growth trend of proven oil and natural gas geological reserves in China, this paper analyzes the distribution and change of the incremental proven oil and natural gas geological reserves discovered from 2010 to 2019 in China. The results show that the incremental proven oil reserves are mainly distributed in the areas such as Ordos basin, Bohai Bay basin, and Junggar basin, and accumulated in the middle-shallow to middle-deep formations in these basins; the incremental proven natural gas reserves are mainly distributed in the areas such as Ordos basin, Sichuan basin, Tarim basin, and East China Sea Shelf basin, and accumulated in middle-deep to ultra-deep formations; the quality of the incremental oil and gas reserves become worse, the abundance goes lower and the burial depth is deeper and deeper; and incremental proven oil and gas reserves are mainly preserved in lithologic oil and gas reservoirs, unconventional oil and gas reservoirs and deep oil and gas reservoirs.

Key words: oil, natural gas, proven geological reserves, growth trend, basin, abundance, burial depth
