Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide an oil-gas reservoir exploration method and apparatus and belong to the technical field of oil-gas exploration. The method includes: acquiring hydrocarbon source rock distribution, reservoir distribution, fault distribution and oil-gas reservoir distribution; determining at least one oil-gas accumulation chain according to the hydrocarbon source rock distribution, the reservoir distribution, the fault distribution and the oil-gas reservoir distribution; and determining exploration targets and an exploration order of oil-gas reservoirs according to the at least one oil-gas accumulation chain and the oil-gas reservoirs on the oil-gas accumulation chain. By using the oil-gas reservoir exploration method and apparatus, the exploration targets and the exploration order may be precisely and rapidly determined.
