Relationship between faults and hydrocarbon migration and accumulation in Huoshiling Formation volcanic rocks in Longfengshan area, Changling Fault Depression

地质科技通报, 2023
The Longfengshan area is an important hydrocarbon enrichment area in the Changling Fault Depression. Most of the oil and gas are distributed near the fault zone.

Preliminary study on the Late Quaternary activity of important active fault zones along the Yunnan-Tibet railway

地震科学进展
The Yunnan-Tibet railway is located in the southeastern edge of the Tibetan Plateau, where tectonic plates collide and the terrain rapidly changes. Along the line, active faults develops, earthquakes occur frequently, and the intensity of earthquakes is ...

Fault Zone Control on Rapid Groundwater Flow in Cretaceous Carbonates of the Hidden Valley Fault Zone, Texas [PDF]

Lithosphere
Understanding geological controls on subsurface fluid flow is critical for groundwater resource management and aquifer protection and is particularly challenging in faulted carbonate aquifers due to dissolution and conduit development.

Investigation of genetic mechanism of the Shigang fault zone in the Northern Jiangsu Basin using physical analog sand-box modeling

Energy Reports, 2022
The Shigang fault zone in Jinhu Sag plays a significant role in the evolution of sag and hydrocarbon accumulation. This paper studies the tectonic evolution history of the critical profiles of the Shigang fault zone by dissecting these profiles ...

Genetic Mechanism and Evolution of the Covert Fault Zone and Its Oil-Controlling Mode in Qikou Sag, Eastern China

Energies, 2018
Covert fault zone is an important type of geological phenomenon that is closely related to hydrocarbon formation and distribution but has often been overlooked because it lacks obvious fault displacement and fault plane.

Advances in seismological methods for characterizing fault zone structureKey points

Earthquake Science
Large earthquakes frequently occur along complex fault systems. Understanding seismic rupture and long-term fault evolution requires constraining the geometric and material properties of fault zone structures.

Structural patterns of fault damage zones in carbonate rocks and their influences on petroleum accumulation in Tazhong Paleo-uplift, Tarim Basin, NW China

Petroleum Exploration and Development, 2018
Based on the outcrop survey, 3D seismic data interpretation, drilling data analysis, the structural patterns and distribution of fault damage zones in carbonate strata of Tazhong Paleo-uplift were established to reveal the oil and gas enrichment law in ...

Experimental Insights Into Fault Reactivation in Gouge‐Filled Fault Zones [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2019
AbstractFaults in the brittle crust constitute preexisting weakness zones that can be reactivated depending on their friction, orientation within the local stress field, and stress field magnitude. Analytical approaches to evaluate the potential for fault reactivation are generally based on the assumption that faults are ideal planes characterized by ...

Development characteristics and formation mechanism of ultra-deep carbonate fault-dissolution body in Shunbei area, Tarim Basin

Shiyou shiyan dizhi, 2021
As a spatial geological body, a strike-slip fault zone has a physically and chemically controlled compart- mentalization effect, which can form a unique fracture-cavity system with associated pore spaces inside the fault zone.
