Abstract

Abstract: On the basis of dividing the size of proved oil and gas fields in the outer continental shelf (OCS) of Gulf of Mexico Basin, the authors applied the fractal theory to the study of the relationship between the number of oil and gas fields and their sizes, and discussed the meaning of fractal dimension D. The fractal dimension D is a reflection of the exploratory development level, the larger the fractal dimension D is, the more mature the exploration is. The fractal method is a good way to analyze the size-distribution of oil and gas fields, to decide the exploration degree and to predict the reserve distribution of oil and gas fields.

Key words: Gulf of Mexico Basin, outer continental shelf, oil and gas field, reserve distribution, fractal, fractal dimension D

摘要： 在对墨西哥湾盆地陆棚区已探明油气田储量规模划分的基础上, 应用分形理论对油气田数量与储量规模之间的分形关系进行了研究, 讨论了油气田储量规模分布的分数维值D的含义。油气田储量规模分布的分数维值D反映了油气田的勘探开发程度, 勘探开发程度越高, 分数维值D越大; 勘探开发程度越低, 分数维值D越小。利用分形方法可以较好地分析油气田储量规模与数量之间的关系, 评判油气田勘探开发的程度, 预测未来发现油气田的数量及其储量规模。
