英文摘要The discovery of unconventional hydrocarbon resources since the late 20th century changed geologists' understanding of hydrocarbon migration and accumulations and provides a solution to energy shortage. In 2016, unconventional oil production in the USA accounted for 41% of the total oil production; and unconventional natural gas production in China accounted for 35% of total gas production, showing strong growth momentum of unconventional hydrocarbons explorations. Unconventional hydrocarbons generally coexist with conventional petroleum resources; they sometimes distribute in a separate system, not coexisting with a conventional system. Identification and prediction of unconventional resources and their potentials are prominent challenges for geologists. This study analyzed the results of 12,237 drilling wells in six representative petroliferous basins in China and studied the correlations and differences between conventional and unconventional hydrocarbons by comparing their geological features. Migration and accumulation of conventional hydrocarbon are caused dominantly by buoyance. We propose a concept of buoyance-driven hydrocarbon accumulation depth to describe the deepest hydrocarbon accumulation depth driven dominantly by buoyance; beyond this depth the buoyance becomes unimportant for hydrocarbon accumulation. We found that the buoyance-driven hydrocarbon accumulation depth in petroliferous basins controls the different oil/gas reservoirs distribution and resource potentials. Hydrocarbon migration and accumulations above this depth is dominated by buoyancy, forming conventional reservoirs in traps with high porosity and permeability, while hydrocarbon migration and accumulation below this depth is dominated by non-buoyancy forces (mainly refers to capillary force, hydrocarbon volume expansion force, etc.), forming unconventional reservoirs in tight layers. The buoyance-driven hydrocarbon accumulation depths in six basins in China range from 1200 m to 4200 m, which become shallower with increasing geothermal gradient, decreasing particle size of sandstone reservoir layers, or an uplift in the whole petroliferous basin. The predicted unconventional resource potential below the buoyance-driven hydrocarbon accumulation depth in six basins in China is more than 15.71 x 10(9) t oil equivalent, among them 4.71 x 10(9) t reserves have been proved. Worldwide, 94% of 52,926 oil and gas reservoirs in 1186 basins are conventional reservoirs and only 6% of them are unconventional reservoirs. These 94% conventional reservoirs show promising exploration prospects in the deep area below buoyance-driven hydrocarbon accumulation depth.
