Abstract: As an irreplaceable source of energy at present, petroleum plays more and more important role in global economic development and the civilized course of human society. But, with ceaseless efforts for petroleum exploration and adding in exploration degree year by year, the difficulty of the oil-gas exploration will be definitely more and more increasing. Under the guidance of "anticline theory", the most anticline-type reservoirs that are easily found have already been discovered. Today, what we face are the more and more complicated targets for petroleum exploration. However, the naissance and development of such new theories of geosciences as sedimentary basin dynamics, petroleum system, gas geology of deep basin and hydrocarbon accumulation dynamics establish scientific theory basis for stable development in petroleum exploration at home and abroad. The presence and application of such novel technologies as basin analysis and simulation, reservoir description/characterization and imaging logging, etc. provide technical guarantees for further hydrocarbon prospecting.
