Title: ANALOGY ANALYSIS ON PETROLEUM GEOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE FORELAND BASINS BETWEEN WESTERN CHINA AND CENTRAL ASIA
Abstract: Central Asia and Northwest China located at the northern side of Tethys have the similar evolution history of tectonic sedimentary process during Mesozoic to Cenozoic,which include the stage of fault depression and sag evolution during the Mesozoic-Paleogene period and the stage of foreland basin evolution from the Neogene period.This gives rise to many shared characteristics on Mesozoic-Cenozoic sedimentary sequences and petroleum geological conditions.However,the differences in the basement of basins and the concrete tectonic settings make their characteristics of petroleum geology being diverse.The practice of petroleum exploration shows that the Central Asian basin group holds in store abundant hydrocarbon resources and is one of the most important enriching section in the world.The analogy analysis of the petroleum geology of foreland basins between Western China and Central Asia will conduce to correctly understanding the regularities of hydrocarbons accumulation and distribution,and instruct the oil and gas exploration in the west of China.
