Abstract

The Mesozoic-Paleozoic marine strata in the South Yellow Sea Basin have been regarded as the new targets for hydrocarbon exploration. In order to carry out the oil and gas resource evaluation in the Mesozoic strata, the condition of the cap rocks and the combination of reservoirs and cap rocks should be carefully analyzed. Whether the combination in the basin is good or not plays a key role in the Mesozoic hydrocarbon preservation. In view of the analysis of structure, stratigraphy and sedimentology in the basin and its adjacent area, Qinglong argillaceous limestones and Cretaceous lacustrine mudstones are regarded as the cap rocks. Adding the distribution pattern of the potential Qinglong Formation reservoirs, the central-eastern part of the Yantai depression has been treated as the most favorable area for the combination of reservoirs and cap rocks.
