Major achievements

achievements in scientific research

Zou Cai founded unconventional oil and gas geological theory, took the lead in discovering older shale gas series and nanopores with industrial value outside North America, revealed the "continuous" accumulation law of unconventional oil and gas, initiated the concept of "artificial oil and gas reservoir" development, and put forward the concept of "orderly accumulation and coordinated development" of conventional and unconventional oil and gas. The mechanism of oil and gas accumulation in lithologic strata is demonstrated, and the sedimentary models such as sandy debris flow in the center of lake basin are established. This paper expounds the formation and distribution law of paleocarbonate gas fields, constructs the "Four Paleozoic" reservoir-forming model, and promotes the strategic transformation and major discovery of oil and gas exploration in China.

Zou Cai was the first author to publish 15 monographs.

Zou Cai has published 89 papers as the first author in Science Report, Earth Science Review, Geology, AAPG, Paleogeography, Paleochemistry, Paleoecology, Basic Research and China Science.
