Liu Yurui, Liu Qidong, Yang Xiaolan. Relation between features of strike-slip faults and hydrocarbon accumulation in Subei basin[J]. 2004, 25(3): 279-283.DOI: 10.11743/ogg20040308.
Chajian and Wubao fault systems in Subei basin represent
laterally
combined characteristics of a major fault with main linear shift zone
horsetail splays and en echelon lambda-type structures
and
vertically
structural features of cone-like fracture
forced monocline and fractured main shift zone. Shear and compressive fracture planes can be observed in rocks beside the faults. Based on the above characteristics
it is believed that the Shigang
Chajian and Wubao fault systems are of discrete-type right lateral strike-slip faults. Stress analysis indicates that Subei basin has experienced both agents of extension and right lateral strike-slip
while right lateral wrench movement is the main cause of strike-slip faults
which has been controlled by Tanlu fracture zone. It is the features of discrete-type right lateral strike-slip of the Shigang
Chajian and Wubao fault systems that control the formation and distribution of oil and gas traps
as well as the migration and accumulation of oil and gas in Subei basin.
