China’s Tarim Basin poses singular seismic surveying problems

The Leading Edge, 1996
In northwest China, between Tianshan Mt. and the Qunlun‐Altun Mountains lays the Tarim Basin — at 560 000 km2, the country’s largest intracratonic basin. Tarim is different from other cratonic basins, basins with geosynclines, or transitional basins between cratons and geosynclines. It is a giant complex basin composed of a Paleozoic craton overlain by

Hydrocarbon Accumulations in the Tarim Basin, China

AAPG Bulletin, 1996
The Tarim basin is the largest and least explored inland basin in China. The areal extent of the basin reaches 560,000 km2. The interior of the basin is mostly covered by the Takla Makan Desert, which is about 330,000 km2 in areal extent. The basin has become the object of special attention since China set aside first- and third-round onshore bidding ...

Early Paleozoic Tarim Orocline: Insights from paleogeography and tectonic evolution in the Tarim Basin

Geological Journal, 2017
The Tarim Basin, situated between the Paleo‐Asian tectonic domain and the Proto‐Tethys tectonic domain, has undergone a complex tectonic evolutionary process under various geodynamic conditions and has provided abundant information about the dynamic evolution of the peripheral orogens.

Kalpin Transpression Tectonics, Northwestern Tarim Basin, Western China

International Geology Review, 1994
The paper examines the relative importance of strike-slip faulting and lateral crustal deformations in the geologic structure of a portion of the western People's Republic of China. Deformed thrust sheets in the Kalpin area of the western PRC suggest large-scale sinistral strike-slip movement on the Aheqi fault zone along the northwestern margin of the

Deep structure at northern margin of Tarim Basin

Science Bulletin, 2008
In this paper, a 2D velocity structure of the crust and the upper mantle of the northern margin of the Tarim Basin (TB) has been obtained by ray tracing and theoretical seismogram calculation under the condition of 2D lateral inhomogeneous medium using the data of seismic wide angle reflection/refraction profile from Baicheng to Da Qaidam crossing the ...

Hydrocarbon Accumulation Conditions of Ordovician Carbonate in Tarim Basin

Acta Geologica Sinica - English Edition, 2010
Abstract:Based on comprehensive analysis of reservoir‐forming conditions, the diversity of reservoir and the difference of multistage hydrocarbon charge are the key factors for the carbonate hydrocarbon accumulation of the Ordovician in the Tarim Basin. Undergone four major deposition‐tectonic cycles, the Ordovician carbonate formed a stable structural

The Deserts of Dzungaria and the Tarim Basin

1971
The saxaul desert is the most widely distributed type in Dzungaria; it is found not only on the sandy substratum, but also occupies regions of clayey or stony hammadas, both in the east and in the west, extending from Lake Ebi-Nuur to the upper part of the UrunguChernyy Irtysh interfluve. Here two types of saxaul grow: white saxaul (Haloxylon persicum)

Basin analysis of the Jurassic–Lower Cretaceous southwest Tarim basin, northwest China

Geological Society of America Bulletin, 1999
The Jurassic through Cretaceous southwest Tarim basin, northwest China, contains more than 6 km of fluvial and lacustrine strata deposited in a foreland setting during the successive collisions with Eurasia of the Changtang block during Late Triassic–Early Jurassic time and with the mega-Lhasa block during Late Jurassic–Early Cretaceous time.
