Abstract: The classifications of sedimentary basins are reviewed from the new angle of views. Some novel classifications and petroleumgeneration models for them are presented. They are Li Desheng's model, Teng Jiwen's model and Russian model. The Russian model showed that petroleum generation and accumulation are mostly related to the low velocity-high conductive zone of mid-crust in a basin. It should be regarded as one of criteria for further petroleum exploration due to its remarkable effects on petroleum generation. The seismic prospecting technologies available up to now provide important technical guarantees for deep oil-gas exploration. It can be predicted that under the guidance of these classifications and models, domestic petroleum exploration prospect will be much better in the future.
