Abstract
The Chinese petroleum industry is famous for producing oil and gas from terrigenous sedimentary basins. As a result, geological studies of the terrigenous petroleum basin and the use of related technologies for petroleum exploration and development are at an advanced stage in the world. If the idea that terrigenous stratigraphy can generate oil is the central idea behind the geological theory, then the characteristics of reservoir sequences in the terrigenous basins are the significant foundation of this geological theory. This chapter will discuss the distribution of the stratigraphy, the major types of depositional facies and the characteristics of the petroleum system in the Chinese petroleum basins. In addition, the nature of the depositional evolution in the major petroleum basins will be briefly introduced.
