Resources Potential and Exploration Direction of Biogas in Sanhu Region in Qaidam Basin

Abstract

Abstract: From analysis of resources distribution types and controlling factors of Quaternary biogas in Sanhu region in Qaidam Basin, three occurrence ways of biogas are pointed out: the low-rate structural traps, the lithologic traps, and the widely distributed water-soluble form. The exploration focus is the North Slope area, the Yanhu-Yabaer area, the low-rate structural traps in the west and sags. The lithologic pinchout traps in the S-N slopes, the low uplifts and slopes in the basin, and the lens in the lake basin are the future exploration targets.Water-soluble natural gas exploration is heuristic exploration direction in the area

Key words: Quaternary, biogas, exploration direction, Sanhu region, Qaidam Basin
