油田地热是地热学的一门重要分支学科,而沉积盆地的热历史则是油田地热学研究的核心内容。油田地热主要研究含油气盆地的今、古地温状况,盆地热历史及其与油气形成的关系。地热与石油是共存于沉积盆地的两种资源。近年来,油田地热的研究还拓展到油气区地热资源的勘查和地热能的开发利用等方面。文中对近年来我国含油气盆地的地热特征、深部热结构和热-流变结构、盆地热历史重建的研究现状和存在问题进行了综述,探讨了我国油气区地热资源的勘查、开发和利用现状及发展趋势,以期对中国油田地热研究的进展和发展趋势有进一步的了解。
Oil field geothermics is an important branch of geothermics and the thermal history of sedimentary basins is the core content of the research on the oil field geothermics. Oil field geothermics mainly focuses on the present and paleo-geothermal conditions of the petroliferous basins and relationships between the thermal history and hydrocarbon generation. However, geothermal and oil are two resources coexisting in sedimentary basins, and in recent years oil field geothermics is extended to the exploration and utilization of geothermal resources in oil and gas fields. This paper summarizes the research status and existing problems on the thermal characteristics, deep thermal structure, thermal-rheological structure and thermal reconstruction of the petroliferous basins in China. At the same time, the present situation and developmental trends of exploration, exploitation and utilization of geothermal resources in the oil and gas fields in China are also discussed. This paper will provide readers a deeper understanding of the development and trend of geothermal research in China.
