Zhou Jiangyu, Lin Zhongmin, Zhou Linfang, et al. PLASTIC DEFORMATION AND OIL GAS TRAPS OF CARBONIFEROUS SALT BODY IN NORTHERN TARIM BASIN[J]. 1999, 20(3): 216-219.DOI: 10.11743/ogg19990308.
the Carboniferous salt bearing set in North Tarim Basin mainly formed in the hot and dry evaporating lagoon environment of beach intertidal zone controlled by sea level changes with the thickness of 80~221 m.Under the influence of regional tectogenesis
the salt body underwent three times of plastic fluxion in geological history.The first time was in the late stage of Early Permian
the salt flowed 2~2.8 km southwards;the second time was in Late Triassic Early Jurassic
the salt flowed 1~2.8 km southwards again;the third time was in the end of Tertiary
the salt turned to flow northwards for 0.5~1.2 km.The salt flow resulted in several kinds of structural traps mainly including salt ridge anticline
salt dome and salt edge syncline.It has been proved by facts that the salt ridges are major oil and gas bearing structures while the rest two kinds should also be taken into considerable account.
