STABILITY, RELIABILITY AND HYDROCARBON ASSESSMENT OF PETROLEUM REMOTE SENSING ABNORMALITY IN SOUTH YELLOW SEA BASIN

Besides the geologic conditions, ocean petroleum remote sensing abnormality is also controlled by ocean current, tide, weather, sea-floor topography, terrestrial matter,and marine organism etc. So, we use the same processing mode to study the stability of South Yellow Sea petroleum remote sensing abnormality showed in different time phase MODIS data and compare it to that in the surrounding proved petroleum field. We are sure that the largest interference to the ocean petroleum remote sensing technique is cloudy climate, and then is ocean current and tide, as they can conditionally and availably reveal ocean petroleum remote sensing abnormality. So, the MODIS of petroleum remote sensing abnormality on 7 of March 2002 is believable,and it accurately reflect distribution of oil fields in South Yellow Sea and the adjacent sea area and can also be used as a basis to evaluate petroleum exploration targets. Through analogizing the neighboring oil field outputs, it is known that South Yellow Sea basin is an oil prospect region for large or medium-sized oil fields in the middle-upper Paleozoic and also for some small ones in the Cretaceous-Tertiary strata. Maybe two or three large or medium-sized oil fields can be discovered here.
