Advanced hydrocarbon trap evaluation is crucial and necessary for the exploration target optimization decision. Its evaluation conclusion is verified by actual drilling results, so its research status has a direct impact on exploration benefits. This paper discusses the essence of advanced hydrocarbon trap evaluation that focuses on the development of quantitative and integration evaluation under the guidance of exploration target decision. Then, from these aspects, such as the theory method system, the basic geological research, the quantitative evaluation, economic evaluation and degree of computer application, their current situation of the development was unraveled one by one, the research status tends to be the higher degree of computer application, the deep involvement of basic geological research, and integration of multi-disciplinary procedure, the higher qualitative evaluation combined with the quantitative evaluation, and also a research chain of predication and decision-making process so that it needed constantly and actively by the support of different multi-disciplines, such as the system engineering theory and evaluation theory, decision-making theory, computer science and other disciplines to improve the evaluation theory and advanced evaluation methods.
