The complicated topography, morphology and geology are characteristic of South China, where the frequently covered waters and igneous bodies and widely exposed carbonates are difficult to seismic survey. This paper describes the effect of combining exploration of gravitational, magnetic and electric methods in the complicated hydrocarbon areas in South China by some case histories. Many year''s exploration practices in the exploring areas of more than 20 show that the non-seismic integrated (gravity/magnetic/electric) geophysical prospecting can play an important role not only in regional assessment, basin optimization and early basin evaluation,but also in finding objective of low resistance in areas of exposed carbonate with high resistance, contouring local structure, outlining igneous body and reef, and differentiating rock facies of basement. The results of the non-seismic integrated geophysical survey have pointed out the direction for deploying next prospecting in the specific areas of South China and the valuable experiences have been accumulated to carry out hydrocarbon-hunting in the future.
