Abstract: In Zhongke-1 Well, a China's continental scientific exploration well, discovered CH4, CO2 that were probably deep source gases and high anomaly of He at depth of 476 m, 869 m and 1935 m, respectively. It is affirmned that they are non-biogenic gases, or inorganic genetic gases. These inorgamic genetic gases discovered in metamorphic rock area and zone are of great scientifie significance as demonstration or proof of hydrocarbon inorganic genetic theory. Therefore, this paper suggests that this major research subject of Zhongke-1 W ell should attract petroleum geologists and geochemists to particeipate in, in order that logging-and sampling-while-drilling on this well become more systematic, giving attention to probes of two aspects for inorganic gas and oil exploration. The cumulative and valuable data and experiences are favorable for further development of China's petroleum prospecting causes.
