Geological-geophysical data, including regional studies, 2D and 3D seismic ＆ logging interpretation results as well as core/cutting samples analysis were integrated to reveals that the north-eastern area were controlled by pull apart activities along Song Hong river fault system, rifting phase during Eocene-Oligocene and subsidence during Miocene-Quaternary. Inversion activities at the end of Oligocene and late Miocene also play very important roles. These activities convert Pre-tertiary carbonate basement rocks to be potential reservoirs. The main source rock, overlying and adjacent to basement highs, was deposited in the lacustrine environment during rifting phase of Eocene and Oligocene and is still at the depth of oil generation window. The mentioned source rock layer is also considered as a good top seal for the basement. Petroleum system has been proven by the drilling and testing results and the studied area become more attractive and have higher chance of success.展开更多
