“…In addition, granite is hard to detect when buried thousands of metres underground, resulting in little attention to be paid during hydrocarbon exploration (Ye et al, 2020;Yi et al, 2021). However, with the development of global oil and gas exploration, breakthroughs have been made in granitic buried hills worldwide, and a few medium-to large-sized oil and gas fields have been discovered, such as the BachHo field in Vietnam, the Dongping gas field in China, the Penglai oil field in China, and the BC oilfield discovered in the Bongor Basin in Chad (Cuong and Warren, 2009;Dou et al, 2015;Chen et al, 2018;Guo et al, 2019;Li et al, 2021a;Dai et al, 2021). The exploration of buried-hill reservoirs in the basement has gradually become a new exploration field (Cuong and Warren, 2009;Dou et al, 2020;Ye et al, 2020).…”
