隐蔽油气藏的概念与分类及其在实际应用中需要注意的问题

目前国内外都非常重视隐蔽油气藏的勘探, 中国隐蔽油气藏勘探前景广阔, 已经成为中国油气储量增长的重要方向。笔者把很难依据现有资料或地质理论判明圈闭和油气存在的油气藏称为隐蔽油气藏。可以按隐蔽油气藏判别的难度、隐蔽方式、油气富集动力学机制等对其进行分类。“隐蔽油气藏”是勘探范畴的术语, 是据圈闭的隐蔽性和油气藏寻找的难易程度提出来的, 随着勘探技术和勘探理论的发展, 隐蔽油气藏圈闭的范围是不断变化的。在勘探实践中, 需要注意不能把岩性地层油气藏、非构造油气藏与隐蔽油气藏等同起来, 仅强调后两者的研究, 某些特殊类型的油气藏的勘探容易被忽视。岩性地层油气藏在目前仍是隐蔽油气藏勘探的主体, 而隐蔽油气藏是各类以非构造为主的圈闭类型的一种通俗表达, 也包含某些目前识别和评价难度较大的构造油气藏。

Concept and categorize of subtle reservoir and problems in its application

The reservoir, which cannot be found or identified directly by nowadays theory and technique, could be all called as subtle reservoir. It can be classified by discrimination difficulties, concealed modes, oil and gas accumulated dynamics mechanism, and it was put forward by the concealment of trap and difficulty of exploration discovery. So its meaning and content change with the development of exploration techniques as well as exploration theory. It should not be equaled to lithologic stratigraphic reservoir or nonstructural reservoir as some specific reservoirs would be ignored if only the two latter ones are regarded. Lithologic stratigraphic reservoirs are still the major exploration emphasis in subtle reservoirs which is a general expression of all the nonstructural traps and includes some structural reservoirs that are difficult to find nowadays.
