Abstract

With the increasing pressure of oil and gas supply and energy security risks, it has become an inevitable trend for oil and gas exploration to deep and ultra-deep strata. In recent years, with the improvement of technology in exploration and development, oil and gas reservoirs distributed in extreme environments such as deep sea, deep strata and polar regions have been identified as the main directions of exploration and development, and a number of large-middle oil and gas fields have been discovered in the deep strata. Compared with the middle-shallow oil and gas accumulation theory, the deep oil and gas accumulation theory is not mature enough. Therefore, in order to meet the basic status of domestic oil and gas resources supply, we must promote the development of deep oil and gas exploration through the systematic summarization and research.
