An analysis of the last 10 years' progress and new domains in petroleum exploration in the eastern South China sea

In the last 10 years,a great breakthrough was made in petroleum exploration for several domains such as residual oil-source sags,middle-deep intervals and natural gas in the eastern South China sea,extricating the exploration from an earlier difficult position that was restricted to a single anticline structure in shallow water and opening up a new situation in which sallow to deep water,various intervals,multiple types of trap,and oil and gas are all prospected.There is still a wider future in petroleum exploration in the eastern South China sea,due to the geological conditions to form giant or major hydrocarbon accumulations.
