Abstract

Petroleum seismogeologywas developed in the early 1980’s and advanced with the development of geophysical technologies. Its goal is to find hydrocarbon reservoir and to improve the recovery ratio. Because of the lack of independent theory, it is nownot a real discipline but an integration of geophysical technologies for petroleum geology study and reservoir description. It has three characteristics, including multi-technology integration, well-seismic integration and refining study, as well as study frompetroleum exploration to development geology. There are three key points which influence the development of petroleum seismogeology. They are seismic resolution, geological meaning of seismic reflection data and geologic model in seismic interpretation. Although it made successful use in petroleum exploration and development, petroleumseismogeology study need improvement in four aspects in the future, including: ① The development of systematized theory; ② Integration of multi-discipline and multi-scale study; ③ Isochronic strata units and their seismic reflection characteristics;④Study fromreservoir description to hydrocarbon detection.
