“Tri-in-One” Accumulation Model of Lithologic Reservoirs in Continental Downfaulted Basins: A Case Study of the Lithologic Reservoir of Nantun Formation in Tanan Sag, Mongolia

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The study is devoted to the study of the physical structure of the oil reservoir. The work is relevant due to the proposal to the authors of a fundamentally new approach to the analysis of oil deposits. The study has a logical, but not complete structure (I will explain below). Graphic material is presented to a sufficient extent. The conclusions correspond to the tasks set.

Notes:

1. There is no prehistory of the study in the work. The authors very briefly explain the existence of other studies. The author needs to complete the "introduction" section completely. In this section, the author should analyze existing technical solutions. Analyze methods and algorithms on the research topic. The publishing house published the work https://doi.org/10.3390/informatics9030062. The work https://doi.org/10.1109/ElConRus54750.2022.9755601 is also very interesting in this regard. The author is encouraged to include it in his review.

Advice. There are excellent search engines mdpi.com and www.researchgate.net where you can find scientific review articles.

2. After the "Introduction" section, it is necessary to make a clear and precise statement of the problem.

3. Before the “Conclusions” section, you need to add a “Discussion” section in which to give a critical assessment of your research. Point out the positive and negative aspects of the study. And also show ways for further research. I also want to note that your research has a wide range of applications. I recommend that you read (and include in the review) the works doi:10.1109/ElConRus54750.2022.9755852.

4. The author is recommended to increase the list of references (by revising the review and adding a discussion section) to at least 40 items.

In general, I evaluate the work positively. However, the author needs to redo the literature review.

Author Response

1.I made a more detailed investigation and analysis of the previous research history proposed by the reviewer, and added the research stage and main development process in the updated "introduction" to further express the connection and difference between my research and the predecessors；The relevant literatures proposed by the reviewers for reference have been read through and added to the references, as shown in references 12 and 30；

2.The introduction has updated the relevant content, clearly pointed out the content and direction of previous research and the difference between my research, and further elaborated the necessity of my research；

3.The relevant "discussion" section has been added. After reading the excellent manuscripts published on the website, I have made a comparison and application, so as to make a detailed evaluation of the research content I have done；

4.The "Literature review" section has been updated and a lot of relevant literature has been read in the analysis process of "discussion", and the current number of references has been added to 53。

For the revised results of the above comments, you can directly read the new version of the paper for review

Reviewer 2 Report

This paper is focused on accumulation model and lithologic reservoir formation in continental fault basin A case study of the Lithologic Reservoir of Nantun Formation in Tanan Sag, Mongolia. I found it interesting and suggest the following reivisions:

(1) Please cite more papers within recent 5 years in the introduction part.

(2) Figure 3: please mark the meaning of different colors.

(3) Figure 7: a scale bar is needed.

(4) Figure 10: there is a red underline under mD, please delete it.

(5) In the conclusion, please firstly summarize the key innovation point and workflow.
