Abstract: This paper presents the petroleum exploration history and geologic research results in marginal basins of northern South China Sea, and based on the abundant geologic, geophysical and geochemical data, analyzes and summarizes the different basinal geologic features, the regional structural background for oil-gas migration and accumulation and the exploratory potentials or targets in this area. In light of low degree of prospecting and research as well as complex geologic condition for hydrocarbon accumulation, the research of hydrocarbon migration and accumulation and the exploratory direction in this area will be in further exploration.

Key words: marginal basins, South China Sea, regional structural geology, origin, distribution, primary source rock, exploration target
