DIGITAL BASIN：A NEW STAGE FOR STUDYING THE CHINESE PETROLIFEROUS BASINS

Based on the analysis of exploration history and basin research history,the study of the Chinese petroliferous basins can be divided into the tectonic stage(1945-) and the basin analysis and basin computer simulation stage(1980-).Digital basin stage was occurred in present(2000-).There are different research domains between digital basin and digital oil fields.The digital basin is comprehensive application of the digitized geological datum by using modern geological theory and digital technological method.The aim of digital basin is provided the technological support for evaluation of petroliferous basins.The most inportant task of the digital basin is the construction of data warehouse.There are 12 databases in the basin evaluation data warehouse.
