    Abstract:

    Abstract:The fact that oil, natural gas, coals and sandstone uranium minerals exist in the same basin and form a mineral deposit provides favorable conditions for co-exploration of multiple energy minerals. The seismic and well logging methods have been widely used in exploration of various energy minerals. So co-exploration of multiple energy minerals is possible in terms of techniques and methods. Because the degree of exploration of oil, natural gas and coals is generally higher than that for sandstone uranium at present, we should use the available data (seismic and logging data) of exploration of oil, natural gas and coals to look for sandstone uranium deposits in co-exploration of multiple energy minerals in the basin. According to the statistics, more than 300 oil/gas wells have been drilled in the prospect areas of sandstone uranium deposits at the peripheries of the Ordos basin, such as the Tianhuan subbasin, thrust belts on the western edge of the basin, Yimeng uplift and western Shanxi flexural fold belt. These wells provide abundant seismic and logging data for exploration of sandstone uranium.
