Formation of Paleo-uplift and Petroleum Occurrence in Tarim Basin

Open publisher page 10 citations

Abstract

Tabei,Bachu and Tazhong uplifts are the products of compound architecture of different generations of basin prototypes in the Tarim Basin,which controlled hydrocarbon distribution in the basin.They are the main areas for Hercynian hydrocarbon accumulation,in which there were good conditions for hydrocarbon reservoirs and preservation. During the Meso-Cenozoic,the Kunlun mountain was uplifted,Taxinan squeezing foredeep was formed,and Bachu uplift was finally shaped up as a result of reversion of intra-cratonic depression.Bachu uplift and the Paleozoic source rocks under the Taxinan foredeep formed a united petroleum system.
