Based on the structural geology, sedimentology, palaeontology and geochemistry, the sedimentary facies and evolution patterns are developed in Songnan area from the studies of seismic data, cores, well logs, palaeontology and geochemistry. The result indicates that nearshore subaqueous fan, fan delta, braid delta and lacustrine had been developed in the fault depressions of Songnan area. From the margin to the depocenter of the basin, the sedimentary environments gradually changed from nearshore subaqueous fan, fan delta or braid delta to shore-shallow sediments and middle depth-deep lacustrine. Two stages are divided for the sedimentary evolution of Songnan area, namely the prior stage which appears with Yixian formation developing lava facies and pyroclastic facies; the other is the detrital rock facies ,which are developed from formation Jiufotang to Fuxin, is composed of nearshore subaqueous fan, fan delta, braid delta and lacustrine. Conclusion can be made that those sedimentary facies are controlled by the depth of water variation, which changed from shallow to deep, and then to shallow. Multiple source-reservoir-cap assemblage in vertical provided favourable condition for oil and gas pool forming.

Southern Africa is composed of some of the poorest countries in the world. The energy demand in these countries compels them to spend millions of dollars in the purchases of mineral oil and gas to meet their demands while these countries have the ability to produce their own sources of energy from biodiesel. The most common way to produce biodiesel is via trans-esterification process which refers to a catalyzed chemical reaction involving vegetable oil and methanol to yield fatty acid methyl esters (biodiesel). Research has proven that the use of sunflower as a feedstock for biodiesel production yields zero waste. Apart from the fact that there is no waste generated, the sunflower is an attractor of bees and most sunflower farms have been used for honey cultivation, which will result in a two-way income generation, and hence will go a long way to reduce poverty and improve the GDP of Southern Africa countries.

The widely accepted theory of the organic origin of oil and gas accumulations is practically not used to select promising areas and places for exploratory drilling. This makes us pay close attention to the alternative mineral concept of the genesis of these minerals. The purpose of the book is to show how ideas about the deep inorganic origin of accumulations of oil and hydrocarbon gas developed from antiquity to modern times, before the creation of modern mineral theory. The importance of mineral theory for forecasting large oil and gas fields, as well as for optimizing oil and gas geoecology is shown. For a wide range of readers interested in the origin of oil and gas fields, as well as the history of the development of this field of knowledge.
