ANALYSIS ON THE POTENTIAL OF HYDROCARBON RESOURCES AND EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION IN VENEZUELAN

Based on researching petroleum geology feature for petroliferous basins of Venezuelan,taking the Maracaibo and the Eastern Venezuelan Basin as an example,it is proposed that Venezuelan is a strategy area for overseas petroleum exploration and production.Venezuelan is rated as a major distribution contury of petroleum resources in the world.By analyzing the petroleum geology features and hydrocarbon accumulation conditions of the Maracaibo and the Eastern Venezuelan Basin,it suggests that the exploring should focus on the deeper of basins,where is still possible to discover huge oil and gas fields,particularly in the east part of the Maracaibo Basin,El Furrial/Quiriquire and Great Anaco petroleum provinces of the Eastern Venezuelan Basin.Therefor Venezuelan is an attractable area for petroleum exploration and production.
