Source–reservoir relationships and hydrocarbon charging history in the central uplift of the south Yellow Sea basin (East Asia): Constrained by machine learning procedure and basin modeling

The South Yellow Sea Basin (SYSB) is an area for oil and gas exploration in eastern China. The previous geological studies were mainly about the Mesozoic–Cenozoic strata, but no commercial hydrocarbon resource has been discovered up to now. This study focuses on the Silurian–Lower Triassic source-reservoir relationships and hydrocarbon charging history in the Central Uplift of the SYSB using the first scientific drilling well (CSDP-2). The well...
