Abstract

The South China Sea is one of the marginal seas in the northwest Pacific with complex submarine topography.Its north and south shelves are wide and gentle,and the west and east shelves are narrow and steep.There are a series of sedimentary basins on the continental margin.They are rich in oil and gas resources and could be compared with the Persian Gulf as resource potential is considered.We made a brief review in this paper of the sedimentary basins in the oil and gas zones on the north continental shelf of the South China Sea,the potential zones in the Xisha Islands,Zhongsha Islands and abyssal region,the Lile-Taiping potential zone and the oil and gas zones on the south continental shelf of the South China Sea.Estimated resource and hydrocarbon potentials of these sedimentary basins are presented.According to the understanding of petroleum geology of the South China Sea,we divided the study areas into three types: the oil and gas production area,the prospective area and the area without prospect(abyssal region).Development strategies should be built for different areas.Exploitation and utilization of resources should be accelerated in the oil and gas zones on the north continental shelf of the South China Sea.In the areas of the Xisha and Zhongsha Islands,right target areas should be selected for breakthrough in key area through geophysical prospecting and regional research.We should follow the policy of the government to seek for joint development in the area of Nansha Islands.

南海油气资源及其开发战略综述

南海是西北太平洋边缘海之一，海底地形复杂。南北大陆架宽而平缓，东西大陆架窄而陡峭。在大陆边缘有一系列沉积盆地。油气资源丰富，从资源潜力上看，可与波斯湾相媲美。本文对南海北部大陆架油气带的沉积盆地、西沙群岛、中沙群岛及深海地区的潜在带、乐乐-太平潜在带和南海南部大陆架油气带的沉积盆地进行了简要综述。给出了这些沉积盆地的资源量估计和油气潜力。根据对南海油气地质的认识，将研究区划分为产油区、远景区和无远景区(深海区)三类。要因地制宜地制定发展战略。应加快南海北部大陆架油气带的资源开发利用。在西沙、中沙群岛地区，通过物探和区域研究，选择合适的靶区，在重点区域取得突破。我们应该按照政府的政策，在南沙群岛寻求共同开发。
