2
.The sag is a superimposed one composed of Eocene and Oligocene basins
the source rocks of which are Eocene and Oligocene sediments.It has similar petroleum geological condition as Shulu sag near by in which certain amount of hydrocarbon reserves have been found.This suggests that medium or small size of oil and gas fields could be found within the sag
and that Dagaocunarea in the sag should be focused as the main target.Structural-trapped pools may be found in the eastside of the area (fault-structural zone) and lithological-trapped pools may be found in the west side.
