摘要
With more and more requirements for oil-gas resources in China, the current petroleum geology theory has not met the need of domestic petroleum geologic exploration. In such a case, proposing a looking-for-oil theory based on China’s geologic features is especially important. Chinese continental crust is the most active in global volcanic activities which have remarkably stimulating effects on “basin formation”, “hydrocarbon generation” and “hydrocarbon accumulation” that are three key propositions in petroleum geology. Some basic problems of petroleum geology about volcanic activity are generally discussed in this paper so that could enrich and develop Chinese petroleum geology theory.
