自本世纪20年代以来,磁法已用于油气勘探。但这一时期大多只将该法用来调查主要的断裂带和基岩填图。然而,近来的发展已表明,在有利条件下(特别是与其它地球物理和地球化学方法结合),磁测技术能在圈定油气藏中起到更大的作用。本文将主要回顾磁法的常规应用,并评价其直接检测油气聚集的潜力。用来说明我的观点的这些例子均引自已发表的文章,下文中将尽量引用这些著作。 Magnetometry has been used for oil and gas exploration since the 1920s. However, most of this period was only used to investigate major faulting and bedrock mapping. However, recent developments have shown that magnetometry can play a greater role in delineating reservoirs under favorable conditions (especially in combination with other geophysical and geochemical methods). This article will mainly review the routine application of magnetic methods and evaluate their potential for direct detection of hydrocarbon accumulation. These examples, which illustrate my point of view, are taken from published articles, and we will try to cite them later in this article.
