Title: A distinctive hydrocarbon basin—Yinggehai Basin, South China Sea
Abstract: The Yinggehai basin is a Cenozoic hydrocarbon basin situated on the geosuture of the Indosinian Plate and South China Plate (the Red River Fault Zone). It is a strike-slip tensional basin developed from an unstable craton in the passive continental argin. The most distinctive geological characteristic of the basin is that the relief of the basement is not correlated with the sedimentary rocks and mud diapirs induced by the movements of overpressured shales at the center of the basin.
