Under the guidance of petroleum geology, on basis in-depth understanding geological characteristics D block such as structure and sedimentation law oil gas enrichment, this paper discusses reservoir potential selects target block. The study shows that is a fault nose controlled by reverse normal fault, has controlling effect its provenance, formation distribution.

“Whereas there are large seepages of petroleum along the Arctic Coast of Alaska and conditions favorable to the occurrence of valuable petroleum fi elds on the Arctic Coast . . .” President Warren G. Harding used those words in 1923 to describe the apparent petroleum potential of a tract of land on the western North Slope of Alaska, when he issued a one-page executive order establishing the 23-...

For Dave Wood Prior to his untimely death, my friend Dave Wood gave me wise counsel about how best to organize a paper describing uses of statistics in oil and gas exploration.
