【摘要】 煤成油早期研究始于１８世纪的俄罗斯学者罗蒙诺索夫。之后西方学者Ｒｏｇｅｒｓ、Ｂｅｒｔｒａｎｄ等先后发表过有关论述。近代我国煤成油研究可能始于１９３３年王竹泉、林文英、谢家荣等分别考察鄂尔多斯盆地和浙江长兴地区。５０年代以来，世界各地陆续在含煤岩系探获石油。８０年代后，对煤成油的研究和认识获得较大的进展，形成了含煤岩系内能够形成油田的共识。我国一批科研机构、知名专家和青年学者，在煤生油显微组分、模拟实验、有机地化、成烃模式、煤沼演化与煤成油田形成模式等方面，提出了一些创见性的认识，将我国煤成油研究推到一个较高的水平。目前研究中还存在一些有争议的问题：含煤岩系内形成油田的主要贡献者是煤层还是泥岩？在低成熟条件下能否形成煤成油田？对此类争议应予以足够的重视，展开深入的讨论，煤成油研究才可能进一步发展。参１９（梁大新摘）更多还原

【Abstract】 The following aspects are included in this paper: research history of coal formed oil, some problems in investigation of coal formed oil and determination of promising exploration basins. The occurrence of oil and gas seepages over the coal seams had been known by Russian scholar Romenosov. The ideas in which coal can generate oil for a long time may be from the fact that oil can be extracted from plants and coal. Coal formed oil was found and investigated and the view in which coal can generate a little oil was suggested in 1930’s in China. It is suggested by Hubbard (1950) that oil fields can be formed in coal measures, but which is generally recognized only after oil and gas fields were found in coal bearing basins in Australia, Indonesia and China. There existed a good deal of controversy about the view that oil generating coal and immature resource coal seams can form oil fields. It is suggested that the coal formed oil fields can only be found in basins in which integral cyclic sequences of lake (sea )level changes developed.更多还原
