Abstract:

Strong activity and active deep action are two important features of Chinese sedimentary basins, especially for Meso-Cenozoic basins.These features were determined by texture,dynamic evolution of Chinese continent itself and its special tectonic location.The above two important features were proved by a series of geological phenomenas took place in many basins and the neighboring areas.The features directly determined the basic nature,the total appearance,the evolution process and characteristics of the late stage reformation of Chinese sedimentary basins; deeply affected and restricted oil-gas preservation setting,the characteristics of hydrocarbon pool-forming, distribution regularity and resources scale of China's Meso-Cenozoic continental basins and two types of Paleozoic(Including Mesozoic and Mid-Late Proterozoic)marine basins, thus forming distinct characteristics of abundant oil and gas resources in continental basins but complication in marine basin, which are completely in contradiction with the total characteristics of other areas of the world.

Key words: strong activity, active deep action, Chinese sedimentary basin, late stage reformation, oil-gas geology, continental dynamics, basin dynamics
