Abstract: The phenomenon of hydrocarbon remigration during oil-gas accumulation was described firstly by geologist Chen Ben, followed by geologists Pan Zhong-xiang and Baots who proposed the concept of hydrocarbon remigration in China’s petroliferous basins, by Mr. An Zuo-xiang who wrote many articles to demonstrate it. It is indicated that there existed this remigration in rift basin, foreland basin and kraton basin. Also, the double source supply opposite migration occurred in Zhujiangkou (Pearl river mouth) basin, Yinggehai basin and Qiongdongnan basin and formed big and/or giant and complex oil-gas fields. This paper de-scribes in detail the hydrocarbon remigration in rift, foreland and kraton basins, studies hydrocarbon accumulation in each basin and points out favorable oil-gas accumulated belts.

Key words: China, petroliferous basin, remigration, rift basin, foreland basin, kraton basin, primary reservoir, secondary reservoir
