FROM ROCKS TO BELTS: UNRAVELING PETROLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE IN BOHAI BAY

Abstract

The Bohai Bay region, a pivotal zone for China's oil and gas reservoirs along the northeastern coast, has recently garnered substantial attention due to escalating demands for these resources. Yet, the intricate geological framework and structural characteristics pose formidable challenges for exploration. This paper embarks on a comprehensive analysis of the structural transformation belts within the Bohai Bay region, with a focal point on their pivotal role in relation to oil and gas resources. The objective is to enhance insights into the latent oil and gas prospects within this domain, furnishing a roadmap for forthcoming exploration and development initiatives
