Evolution and development of Miocene “island dolostones” on Xisha Islands, South China Sea [PDF]
On Xisha Islands, located in the South China Sea, the Neogene succession includes the unconformity-bounded Huangliu Formation that is 210.5 m thick in well CK-2 and formed almost entirely of dolostones.

Geometric and kinematic analysis of normal faults bordering continental shelves: a 3D seismic case study from the northwest South China Sea [PDF]
Normal faults border many a continental shelf, but have only been considered to play a subordinate role to basin-controlling faults in previous studies. Their detailed geometries and kinematic histories are still poorly known. In this study, high-quality

Study on formation pressure distribution patterns of block 64/07, Lingshui structure, Qiongdongnan Basin [PDF]
The Qiongdongnan Basin is located in the northwestern part of the continental shelf in the northern part of the South China Sea, which is a Cenozoic highly-overpressured, transformed, and extended basin with abundant oil and gas resources.

Polygonal faults were identified from three‐dimensional (3D) seismic data in the middle‐late Miocene marine sequences of the South China Sea. Polygonal faults in the study area are normal faults with fault lengths ranging from 100 to 1500 m, fault spaces ranging from 40 to 800 m, and throws ranging from 10 to 40 m.
