Abstract
The Nansha Sea (NSS) is rich in oil and gas resources, which has caused great concern to neighboring countries and large-scale mining that brings a huge negative impact on the maintenance of China’s marine right. In lack of marine functional zoning of the NSS and natural/social considerations in suitability evaluation of oil and gas zoning, this paper constructed a suitability evaluation model that involves resource conditions, topographic conditions, climate conditions, hydrological conditions, natural disasters, traffic conditions, social conditions. Based on the comprehensive score, the suitability was divided into four grades including the high suitable, the suitable, the less suitable and the unsuitable. Results showed that high suitable area are mainly distributed in Beikang basin; suitable area are mainly distributed in Lile basin, East Nanwei basin, Zhongjiannan basin and others in West Nanwei basin; less suitable area are mainly distributed in Nansha Trough basin and others are in West Nanwei basin. The paper would be helpful to the future exploration of oil and natural gas in the NSS.
