Abstract: By 1998,crude oil production of China was 1.6×10⁸t/a,and China was the world's fifth-largest oil-producing nation.Natural gas production of China was 223×10⁸m³/a,and China was the world's eighteenth natural gas-producing nation.Towards new century,the petroleum geology of China will progress in the following five ways:(1) in the new development of non-marine facies hydrocarbon accumulations;(2) in the study of source rocks origins and composite megastructural oil and gas(regions) belts theories;(3) the study on petroleum systems in marine facies hydrocarbon accumulations of China;(4) in research on buried-hill oil and gas traps of China and(5) digital earth as an important technologies carry out petroleum geology of China in the new century.

Key words: Non-marine origin of petroleum, petroleum systems, digital earth, petroleum geology
