Wang Suhua, Qian Xianglin. TECTONIC EVOLUTION AND OIL-GAS POTENTIAL OF BASINS IN CENTRAL ASIA AND NORTHWESTERN CHINA[J]. 1999, 20(4): 321-325.DOI: 10.11743/ogg19990411.
Both Central Asia and Northwestern China were located in the south margin of Eurasian Continent in Mesozoic. Since Jurassic
they both have experienced similar tectonic evolution
i. e. the extension tectonics in JurassicPaleogene and compressive tectonics in Neogene-Quaternary. The collision of Indian Plate with Paleo-Eurasian Plate resulted in present style of mountain-intercalated basins. The basins possess rich oil and gas resources
favourable poolforming conditions and different post-reformtion. Foreland thrust belts are common structural features in piedmonts of the basins
but their internal structures are varied greatly. Neotectonisms influence strongly on oil-gas accumulation.
