Abstract

Advancements in petroleum geology have seen remarkable progress in the utilization and study of fluid inclusions in recent years, emerging as a pivotal method for geologists to investigate the timing and duration of oil and gas accumulation. This paper highlights the significance of fluid inclusion analysis as a key technical approach in petroleum geology research. By assessing the homogenization temperature of brine inclusions associated with hydrocarbon inclusions, geologists can infer the formation temperature during inclusion capture events. Through integration with reservoir burial-thermal evolution history analysis, this method enables the determination of oil and gas charging timeframes and periods, facilitating a comprehensive understanding of oil and gas accumulation dynamics.
