Abstract: In spite of special background that the petroleum geology conditions are extremely complex in China and most of its Meso-Cenozoic deposits are non-marine,We have not only brought out magnificant achievements,valuable experiences in oil and gas exploration,but opened up a path for developing the oil industry ourselves.For example,oil product in China has been raised to 160 million tons at present which stands for a great oil-producting state;While in the early days of the nation's establishment,it was only 120 thousand tons.This paper is a summerization of the personal experiences and their knowledge during the career of exploration practice over 40 years which consists of the following 8 parts:The genuine learning comes from practice;Exploration is an imperative problem for the developing of oil industry,A necessary procedure must be followed in this practice;We should pay more attention to the dissecting of main faults and their secondary belts in the case of strategic disployment;We need also attach importance to overcoming the limitations and one-sidedness in the process of cognition;In order to promote offectiveness of exploration,a summedup experience during great battles for oil must be brought forth and applied illustrated with examples in the future to exploration practice based on a developed democratic style in technique disposing and centralism of collective wisdom.

摘要： 中国是一个石油地质条件极为复杂的地区,而中新生代地层又以陆相沉积为主,从建国初期年产12万t石油发展到现在1.6亿多吨.这取得的成绩是巨大的,经验是极其宝贵的.重要的是创出一条我国自己发展石油工业的道路.作者从40多年的油气勘探历程中,亲身体会到的勘探经验,如实践是认识的基础;勘探工作是发展石油工业的首要问题;勘探必须遵循必要的程序;在部署上要十分重视主要断裂及二级带的解剖;要注意克服思想认识上的局限性和片面性;不断学习和掌握勘探新技术;发扬技术民主,集中群体智慧,提高勘探成效和全面总结石油会战经验,正确应用于当前的勘探工作等八个部分,并举出一些实例加以说明.
