This particularity has resulted in the special petroleum geological conditions of the Bozhong depression which are different from those of adjacent lands. For example, the source rocks of the Shahejie Formation were overpressured and hydrocarbon generation occurred in the late stage; the Dongying Formation was deeply buried below the hydrocarbon-generating threshold, therefore there were sufficient oil sources. The rapid subsidence led to starved sedimentation of the Guantao Formation fine sandstone and the regional Minghuazhen Formation lacustrine shale, which formed the Neogene regional reservoir-caprock association. The active faults formed in the neotectonism became passages for oil to migrate from the Paleogene to Neogene. The traps formed by late fault activity and accompanied anticlines provided spaces for the formation of reservoirs. All the above factors match well with one another in the Bozhong depression, providing favorable conditions for the formation of a series of large oilfields in the region展开更多

To the south of this basin is the Dabanshan Mountain and to the north, the Lenglongling Mountain, which are 4000m ASL.. The neotectonic movement within this area is intense and can be divided into 6 stages.1 The basic data for identifying the stages of the neotectonic movement (1) Deformation of Tertiary deposit: Of the Tertiary system, only Baiyanghe Formation exists in the studied area, distributing at the boundary and under the bottom of the basin with Quaternary deposits discontinuously overlying it. Baiyanghe Formation has been intensely offset and folded, the folding dose not appear in Quaternary deposits. Its exact age remains unknown.(2) Deformation of Quaternary deposits: Most of Quaternary deposits belong to glacial and fluvial deposits, which have been offset and uplifted or sunk by neotectonic movement.(3) Deformation of the geomorphic surfaces: In the studied area exist many types and many orders of geomorphic surfaces, including 2 orders of planation surfaces, 3 orders of glacial platforms, 3 orders of river terraces and 2 orders of alluvial fans. Their ages are dated or comparatively estimated. All of them have been offset and uplifted or subsided by neotectonic movement. They are the time scales for dividing the stages of neotectonic movement.展开更多

Geologically, this zone consists of several regional fault belts of various ages and orientations. We have categorized the faults into four age groups based on field investigations. The Neoproterozoic faults are northeast striking. They start from the northeast Jiangxi Province and extend northeastward to Fuchuan in Anhui Province, the same location of the northeast Jiangxi-Fuchuan ophiolite belt. The faults probably acted during the Neoproterozoic as a boundary fault zone of a plate or a block suture with melange along the faults. The nearly east-west- or east-northeast-striking faults are of Silurian ages （40Ar/39Ar age 429 Ma）. This group includes the Qimen-Shexian fault and the Jiangwang-Jiekou ductile shear belt. They represent a major tectonic boundary in the basement because the two sides of the fault have clear dissimilarities. The third group of faults is north-northeast striking, having formed since the early-middle Triassic with 40Ar/39Ar ages of 230-254 Ma. They form a fault belt starting from Yiyang in northern Jiangxi and connect with the Wucheng as well as the Ningguo-Jixi faults. This fault belt is a key fault-magmatic belt controlling the formation of Jurassic-Cretaceous red basins, ore distribution, magmatic activity, and mineralization. When it reactivated during the late Cretaceous, the belt behaved as a series of reverse faults from southeast to northwest and composed the fourth fault group. Therefore, classifying the Wan-Zhe-Gan fault zone into four fault groups will help in the analysis of the tectonic evolution of the eastern segment of the Jiangnan orogen since the Neoproterozoic era.展开更多
