Abstract: The oil-gas shows in marine strata of southern China are systematically discussed from three aspects: the type and the lateral and vertical distribution as well as controlled factors. Study shows that in view of oil-gas shows types, horizons and distributed regions, the marine strata of southern China are characterized by the most of oil and gas in shallow strata and the most of asphalt in deep level; more oil and gas in north part, more asphalt in middle and northern margin; few oil-gas shows in south part of southern China. In view of controlled factors, the oil-gas shows and distribution are always controlled by the source rocks at the first, and secondly by the tectonic movements and the sedimentary assemblages in this area.

Key words: marine strata, oil-gas shows, distribution, southern China
