该学科方向涵盖油气田勘探开发理论与技术领域的若干研究方向，从盆地构造演化、盆地沉积演化、储层成岩演化及其评价、有机地球化学及资源评价、油气藏形成与分布等基本理论研究，到综合运用地质、地震、测井和试油试采等信息对油藏进行定性、定量描述和评价的综合地质研究，为油气田勘探开发提供科学依据。
近年来，先后承担国家863课题、国家支撑计划子课题、国家自然科学基金、教育部科学研究重大项目、中石油和中石化系统的横向项目等一批各类项目，公开出版教材和著作20余部，公开发表学术论文300余篇，被Sci和Ei收录80余篇，获省部级科技进步奖10余项，获国家发明专利10余项和软件著作权登记证书6项。在油气资源领域形成了一支的高水平科研与教学队伍，培养高层次人才，传播科学知识，促进学科发展。
The direction of this subject covers several reseach directions of the theoryandtechnology area in field exploration and development, from basin tectonic evolution, basin depositional evolution, reservoir diagenetic evolution and evaluation, organic geochemistry and resource evaluation, fundamental theory research on the formation and distribution of reservoirs, to comprehensive geological study, which integrates the data of geology, seismic, well logging and oil production testing to qualitative and quantitative description and evaluation of reservoir. It provides scientific basis for field exploration and development.
In recent years, Our research have undertaken various projects, such as the National 863 Programme, subprojects of national support project, National Natural Science Fund, projects supported by the Ministry of Education and a number of crosswise projects from Petrochina and Sinopec, published more than 20 academic work, 300 publication dissertation, among which 80 have been indexed by SCI and EI, won 10 “Science and Technology Advancement Prize awards granted by the provincial or ministerial, more than 10 the state invention patent and 6 software copyright certificates. We now become a high level team of scientific research and teaching, which will cultivate high-level personnel, dissemination of scientific knowledge, and promote the development of academic disciplines.
