The researchers studied deep water deposits in a specific area of the Bohai Bay Basin. They analyzed different types of sediment layers and how they were formed, focusing on areas with good potential for oil exploration. They found that certain types of sediment layers contain high-quality reservoirs with good porosity and permeability, making them ideal for oil exploration. The main channels and distributary channels in these layers are the best places to look for oil.
