Late Accumulation of Kunbei Area in Qaidam Basin

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper is aimed to find out the main reason of late accumulation of Kunbei area in Qaidam Basin using geochemistry and seismic data and to provide scientific evidence to the potential petroleum exploration in this area. Reservoirs in Kunbei fault terrace zone originate from petreoleum generated by source rocks of E32 in Zhahaquan depression after N23(about 5.2Ma), which means a charcteristic of hysteretic hydrocarbon generation. Brine inclusions shows two hydrocarbon charging periods.The first charging most likely happens at N1 and the second begins at N21,continuing to Q.Two deformaton stages exist in the study area due to the Tibet Plateau uplifting. The accumulations of first stage have been damaged after Middle N1. The reservoirs of Kunbei zone at present are almost orignated from E32 in depression. Above all,the primary cause of late accumulation is due to long-distance effects of the Tibet Plateau uplifting.
