Lijuan Yang‟s two papers on T. K. Huang and oil-gas reconnaissance in China during the 1950s acknowledge the theory of continental origin of petroleum, which was proposed by Zhongxiang Pan in 1941 and T. K. Huang in 1943. Yang asserts that the Report on Geological Investigation of Some Oil-Fields in Sinkiang established the concept that "oil generated in continental strata could form economically significant oil fields."Yang argued that T. K. Huang confidently suggested that the Songliao and North China continental basins could form large oil fields. Yang emphasized that T. K. Huang's assertion that "Mesozoic and Cenozoic large continental basins are the primary targets for oil exploration," particularly focusing on four promising areas: Sichuan, Ordos, Songliao, and North China basins. According to Yang, the theory of continental origin of petroleum served as the theoretical foundation for Songliao and North China oil exploration. Yang attributed the discovery of the Daqing oilfield primarily to T. K. Huang and claimed that T. K. Huang surpassed theoretical limitations and challenged the notion that China was oil-poor. However, these assertions contradict historical facts.
