Liu Xiaoxiang, Liu Chiyang, Zhao Zhongyuan, et al. POST ALTERATION STAGES AND STRESS FIELD EVOLUTION OF BASINS[J]. 1999, 20(3): 199-202.DOI: 10.11743/ogg19990304.
Sedimentary basins of China underwent post-sedimentary alteration.The alteration could be divided into five stages
i.e.
tiny
feeble
medium
strong and bally strong alteration stages
and each of them resulted in comparative alteration basins.The shrinking
dying out of sedimentary basins were closely linked to the evolution of tectonic stress fields of the place they located.Altered by compressive stress field
sedimentary basins could form three kinds of alteration basins
namely reversal
successive and strike slip type alteration basins.Since they have different charateristics in source resevoir cap rocks and distribution as well as in preservation states
it thus suggests that the thoughts and methods on petroleum prospecting of each kind of alteration basin must be different.
