A tectono-thermal perspective on the petroleum generation,accumulation and preservation in the southern Ordos Basin, North China

The southern Ordos Basin has excellent petroleum exploration prospects.However,the tectono-thermal history and the controls on petroleum generation,accumulation and preservation conditions in southern basin are unclear.In this study,we analyzed the present geothermal field,paleo-geothermal gradient,maturity of the hydrocarbon source rocks,uplift and cooling process and tectono-thermal evolution history.In the study area,for the Ordovician,Permain and the Triassic strata,the present temperature is low(3070℃)in the southeastern area but high(80140℃)in the northwestern area.The paleogeothermal gradient varied from 24℃/km to 30℃/km with a heat flow of 58—69 m W/m^(2)(i.e.,a medium-temperature basin).The paleo-temperatures are higher than the present temperatures and the maximum paleo-temperatures controlled the thermal maturity of the source rocks.The vitrinite reflectance(Ro)values of the Triassic strata are>0.7%and the thermal maturity reached the middlemature oil generation stage.The Rovalues of the Permian-Ordovician strata are>1.8%and the thermal maturity reached the over-mature gas generation stage.The southern Ordos Basin has experienced the multiple tectonic events at the Late Ordovician Caledonian(452 Ma),Late Triassic(215 Ma),Late Jurassic(165160 Ma),End-Early Cretaceous(110100 Ma)and Cenozoic(since 40 Ma).A large-scale tectonothermal event occurred at the End-Early Cretaceous(110100 Ma),which was controlled by lithospheric extension,destruction and thinning.This event led to the highest paleo-temperatures and thermal maturities and coeval with the peak period of petroleum generation and accumulation.The southern Ordos Basin has undergone rapid and large-scale uplift since the Late Cretaceous due to expansion of the northeastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau,uplift of the Qinling orogenic belt and thrust faulting in the Liupanshan tectonic belt.The southern Ordos Basin experienced tectonic overprinting that was strong in the south and weak in the north.The strongest overprinting occurred in the southwestern part of the basin.The large-scale uplift,denudation and faulting led to oil and gas loss from reservoirs.The petroleum generation,accumulation and preservation in the southern Ordos Basin were affected by deep lithospheric structures and the tectono-thermal evolution.This work provides a novel tectono-thermal perspective on the petroleum generation,accumulation and preservation condition of the southern Ordos Basin.

Two-episode Tectono-thermal Events of the Heyuan Fault in Late Cretaceous and Oligocene and their Tectonic Implications, Southernmost South China Block

The Heyuan Fault, is one of the main NE-trending faults in the southernmost South China Block and is close to the northernmost South China Sea to the south. The fault features multi-stage deformation and controlled the formation of late Cretaceous to Cenozoic basins. Based on detailed field investigations and comprehensive geochronological research, including zircon U-Pb, Rb-Sr isochron, zircon U-Th-He dating, two episodic tectono-thermal events are recognized. The first occurred during ~79 Ma to 66 Ma, which is characterized by large-scale quartz-fluid emplacement. The other occurred at ~34 Ma, which features the eruption of a set of basalts. The two events show a changing on material source from siliceous hydrotherm to basalt magma, supporting obvious lithospheric thinning of the southernmost South China Block, which shed light on the geological evolution and the interaction mechanisms between the SCB and the northern South China Sea since the Late Cretaceous.

Tectono-Thermal Evolution, Hydrocarbon Filling and Accumulation Phases of the Hari Sag, in the Yingen-Ejinaqi Basin, Inner Mongolia,Northern China

This work restored the erosion thickness of the top surface of each Cretaceous formations penetrated by the typical well in the Hari sag, and simulated the subsidence burial history of this well with software BasinMod. It is firstly pointed out that the tectonic subsidence evolution of the Hari sag since the Cretaceous can be divided into four phases: initial subsidence phase, rapid subsidence phase,uplift and erosion phase, and stable slow subsidence phase. A detailed reconstruction of the tectonothermal evolution and hydrocarbon generation histories of typical well was undertaken using the EASY R% model, which is constrained by vitrinite reflectance(R) and homogenization temperatures of fluid inclusions. In the rapid subsidence phase, the peak period of hydrocarbon generation was reached at c.a.105.59 Ma with the increasing thermal evolution degree. A concomitant rapid increase in paleotemperatures occurred and reached a maximum geothermal gradient of about 43-45℃/km. The main hydrocarbon generation period ensued around 105.59-80.00 Ma and the greatest buried depth of the Hari sag was reached at c.a. 80.00 Ma, when the maximum paleo-temperature was over 180℃.Subsequently, the sag entered an uplift and erosion phase followed by a stable slow subsidence phase during which the temperature gradient, thermal evolution, and hydrocarbon generation decreased gradually. The hydrocarbon accumulation period was discussed based on homogenization temperatures of inclusions and it is believed that two periods of rapid hydrocarbon accumulation events occurred during the Cretaceous rapid subsidence phase. The first accumulation period observed in the Bayingebi Formation(Kb) occurred primarily around 105.59-103.50 Ma with temperatures of 125-150℃. The second accumulation period observed in the Suhongtu Formation(Ks) occurred primarily around84.00-80.00 Ma with temperatures of 120-130℃. The second is the major accumulation period, and the accumulation mainly occurred in the Late Cretaceous. The hydrocarbon accumulation process was comprehensively controlled by tectono-thermal evolution and hydrocarbon generation history. During the rapid subsidence phase, the paleo temperature and geothermal gradient increased rapidly and resulted in increasing thermal evolution extending into the peak period of hydrocarbon generation,which is the key reason for hydrocarbon filling and accumulation.

Geothermal Field and Tectono-Thermal Evolution since the Late Paleozoic of the Qaidam Basin,Western China

The Qaidam basin is the largest intermountain basin inside Tibet, and is one of the three major petroliferous basins in western China. This study discussed the geothermal field and tectono-thermal evolution of the basin, in an effort to provide evidence for intracontinental or intraplate continental dynamics and basin dynamics, petroleum resources assessment, and to serve petroleum production.

Tectono-thermal evolution of the Liwan Sag, deepwater area in the Zhujiang River Mouth Basin, northern South China Sea

The Liwan Sag, with an area of 4 000 km-2, is one of the deepwater sags in the Zhujiang River（Pearl River） Mouth Basin, northern South China Sea. Inspired by the exploration success in oil and gas resources in the deepwater sags worldwide, we conducted the thermal modeling to investigate the tectono-thermal history of the Liwan Sag,which has been widely thought to be important to understand tectonic activities as well as hydrocarbon potential of a basin. Using the multi-stage finite stretching model, the tectonic subsidence history and the thermal history have been obtained for 12 artificial wells, which were constructed on basis of one seismic profile newly acquired in the study area. Two stages of rifting during the time periods of 49–33.9 Ma and 33.9–23 Ma can be recognized from the tectonic subsidence pattern, and there are two phases of heating processes corresponding to the rifting.The reconstructed average basal paleo-heat flow values at the end of the rifting events are -70.5 and -94.2 mW/m^2 respectively. Following the heating periods, the study area has undergone a persistent thermal attenuation phase since 23 Ma and the basal heat flow cooled down to -71.8–82.5 mW/m^2 at present.

The recognizing of ca. 1.95 Ga tectono-thermal eventin Kong-ling nucleus and its significance for the evolution of Yangtze Block, South China

Some 1.95 Ga metamorphism of high-grade Ar-chean rocks in Kongling terrain, continental nucleus of Yangtze Block, South China, are recognized by Sm-Nd dating. This event is further confirmed by the ages of single zircon SHRIMP U-Pb and K-Ar analyses of TTG and (or) paragneisses, and intrusions of potassic-granitic batholith in the region. The coincidence in period between the high-grade metamorphism in the Kongling area and the creation of major basement rocks of its neighborhoods of the Yangtze Block around the Kongling Archean nucleus makes it a favorable explanation for their tectonic connections that, in the whole Yangtze Block there was some tectono-thermal event of ca. 2.0-1.8 Ga, which resulted in the formation of unitive Yangtze basement.

Comparison of coalbed gas generation between Huaibei-Huainan coalfields and Qinshui coal basin based on the tectono-thermal modeling

The geothermal history and the tectonic subsidence history of the Huaibei-Huainan coalfields were reconstructed by using the vitrinite reflectance data, and their correlative restriction on coalbed gas generation of Huaibei-Huainan coalfields and Qinshui coal basin was discussed. The burial, thermal, and maturity histories of are similar between Huaibei coalfield and Huainan coalfield, obviously different from those of Qinshui coal basin. Based on the tectono-thermal evolution characters of Huaibei-Huainan coalfields and Qinshui basin, the process of coalbed gas generation can be divided into three stages： （1） Dur- ing Early Mesozoic, both in Huaibei-Huainan and Qinshui, the buried depth of Permian coal seams increased rapidly, which resulted in strong metamorphism and high burial temperature of coal seams. At this stage, the coal rank was mainly fat coal, and locally reached coking coal. These created an environment favoring the generation of thermogenic gas. （2） From Late Ju- rassic to Cretaceous, in the areas of Huaibei-Hualnan, the strata suffered from erosion and the crust became thinning, and the Permian coal-bearing strata were uplifted to surface. At this stage, the thermogenic gas mostly escaped. Conversely, in Qinshui basin, the cover strata of coal seams kept intact during this stage, and the thermogenic gas were mostly preserved. Furthermore, with the interaction of magmatism, the burial temperature of coal seams reached higher peak value, and it was suitable for the secondary generation of thermogenic gas. （3） From Paleogene onward, in area of Huainan-Huaibei, the maturity of coal and burial temperature were propitious to the generation of secondary biogenic gases. However, in Qinshui basin, the maturity of coal went against genesis of second biogenic gas or thermogenic gas. By comparison, Huaibei-Huainan coalfields are dominated by thermogenic gas with a significant biogenic gas and hydrodynamic overprint, whereas Qinshui basin is dominated mainly by thermogenic gas.

Tectono-thermal modeling of the Yinggehai Basin,South China Sea

Based on the observed data, the average value of surface heatflow in the Yinggehai Basin is calculated and it turns out to be 84.1 mW/m2. The thermal evolution of the basin since the Cenozoic era has been attempted by tectono-thermal modeling. Three-phase extension made the basin become hotter and hotter, reaching its climax in paleo-temperature history since 5.2 Ma. And nowadays, the basin is in the heat flow decreasing period. During the Cenozoic era, the basement heat flow remained at 50-70 mW/m2 all the time. This is related to the degree of each extension phase, stretching rate mode and also the limited basin scale. Modeling results also show that, the surface heat flow is controlled mainly by the basement heat flow, and less than 20% comes from radiogenic heat production in the sediments of the basin.

Late Mesozoic Tectono-Thermal History in the South Margin of Great Xing’an Range,NE China:Insights from Zircon and Apatite(U-Th)/He Ages

The Late Mesozoic tectono-thermal evolution and geodynamic setting of the Great Xing’an Range(GXR),particularly in the south margin,are still ambiguous.In this study,we present original low-temperature thermochronological data of six granitoid samples collected from Maanzi pluton in the south margin of the GXR.The apatite and zircon(U-Th)/He ages vary of 70.8 ± 4.3-119.0 ±7.0 Ma and 120.0 ± 7.1-146.7 ± 8.7 Ma,respectively.Further numerical inverse modeling results reveal that the granitoid plutons experienced a rapid cooling and exhumation stage during Early Cretaceous with a rate of ~5.0-6.0 ℃/Ma and ~0.14-0.17 mm/yr,respectively,including the western minor pluton emplaced during Early Permian and the major pluton crystallized in latest Jurassic,corresponding to the extensional tectonics in NE China.The rapid exhumation processes in the south margin of the GXR during the Early Cretaceous could be related to both the rollback of Paleo-Pacific oceanic plate and the collapse of thickened crust in the Mongol-Okhotsk Orogen.

TERRESTRIAL HEAT FLOW ON THE QING-ZANG PLATEAU AND THE MODELING OF THE TECTONO-THERMAL EVOLUTION OF TERRANES IN ITS SOUTHERN PART

Tectono-thermal evolution of middle-south section of the Da Hinggan Mountains

The tectonic settings of the different stages of the magmatic activity in the middle-south section of the Da Hinggan Mts. are analyzed through measuring the isotopic ages of the Mesozoic volcano-plutonic rocks from this area, and thus the tectono-magmatic evolution series are consequently determined as the initial mantle upwelling marked by the Late Triassic invasion of basic-ultrabasic rocks containing mantle-source enclaves, middle-upper crust extension marked by intrusion of the Early-Middle Jurassic diobase dike swarms, dramatic ruption of the Late Jurassic trachitic volcanic rocks, the Early Cretaceous nonorogenic alkalic-subalkalic granite invasion and the formation of the basic dike swarms and basalts. It is thus inferred that the uprise of the Da Hinggan Mts. in the Mesozoic is closely reiated to the upwelling of the deep magma in the mantle upwarping settings.

Apatite Fission-Track Thermochronology in the Tamusu Area,Bayingobi Basin,NW China,and its Geological Significance

The Bayingobi basin is located in the middle of Central Asia Orogenic Belt,at the intersection of Paleo-Asian Ocean and Tethys Ocean,as well as the junction of multiple tectonic plates.This unique tectonic setting underpins the basin's intricate history of tectonic activity.To unravel the multifaceted tectono-thermal evolution within the southwestern region of the basin and to elucidate the implications of sandstone-hosted uranium mineralization,granitic and clastic rock samples were collected from the Zongnai Mts.uplift and Yingejing depression,and apatite fission track(AFT)dating and thermal history simulation analysis were performed.AFT dating findings reveal that the apparent ages of all samples fall within the range of 244 Ma to 112 Ma.In particular,the bedrock of the Zongnai Mts.and Jurassic detrital apatite fission tracks have undergone complete annealing,capturing the uplift-cooling age.Meanwhile,the AFT ages of Cretaceous detrital rocks are either equivalent to or notably exceed the age of sedimentary strata,signifying the cooling age of the provenance.A comprehensive examination of AFT ages and palaeocurrent direction analyses suggests that the Cretaceous source in the Tamusu area predominantly originated from the central and southern sectors of the Zongnai Mts.uplift.However,at a certain juncture during the Late Early Cretaceous,the Cretaceous provenance expanded to include the northern part of the Zongnai Mts.uplift.Based on the results of thermal history simulations and previous studies,it is considered that the Tamusu area has undergone four distinct tectonic uplift events since the Late Paleozoic.The first is the Late Permian to Early Triassic(260-240 Ma),which is associated with the closure of the Paleo-Asian Ocean and the accretionary orogeny within the Alxa region.The second uplift event took place in the Early Jurassic(190-175 Ma)and corresponded to intraplate orogeny following the closure of the Paleo-Asian Ocean.The third uplift event is the Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous(160-120 Ma),which is linked to the East Asia's position as the convergence center of multiple tectonic plates during this period.The fourth uplift event is linked to the Late Early Cretaceous(112-100 Ma),driven either by the westward subduction of the eastern Pacific plate or the mantle upwelling resulting from the Bangong-Nujiang oceanic lithosphere subduction and slab break-off.The primary stress orientation for the first three tectonic uplift phases approximated a nearly SN direction,while the fourth stage featured a principal stress direction of NW.The fourth tectonic uplift event of the Late Early Cretaceous and basaltic eruption thermal event during this period likely exerted a significant influence on the formation of the Tamusu sandstone-hosted uranium deposit.

鄂尔多斯盆地古峰庄地区疑似侵入岩体的发现及其地质意义

鄂尔多斯盆地内部岩浆岩体的发现对于构造-热事件重建、古地温场恢复及油气地质作用解析有重要意义。基于高精度三维地震资料的处理与解释,首次在盆地内部古峰庄地区发现疑似浅层侵入岩体,刻画了其空间展布并探讨了油气地质意义。研究显示,古峰庄地区存在6个疑似侵入岩体,在平面上多呈环状或云朵状,剖面上愈临近岩体核部,地层杂乱反射和丘状构造特征愈明显。据岩体分布形式和地震反射特征,可将其分为“岩浆深分散浅集中上涌型”疑似侵入岩体和“岩浆浅集中上涌型”疑似侵入岩体。前者由深及浅均有杂乱反射现象,与围岩反射特征明显有别,产状近直立,伴生断裂发育。后者仅在1 000 ms等时切片以上的浅部层系呈杂乱丘状反射,其下地层呈正常的层状反射、几乎不见地层扰动现象。分析认为先存断裂的存在及其数量、规模、垂向叠置程度、核部与端部断距以及地层压力,是造成岩浆差异式上涌的主因。结合盆内其他岩浆岩体发育特征和形成时代,认为古峰庄疑似侵入岩体形成于早白垩世晚期,与古生界-中生界油气规模成烃期和成藏期一致,此阶段的热液活动对该区油气生成、保存和成藏具有重大意义。

青藏高原东南部楚雄盆地构造-热演化史及其与油气关系

青藏高原东南部是构造最为活跃、变形最强烈的地区之一.楚雄盆地作为青藏高原东南部重要的中生代含油气叠合盆地,其演化历史复杂,后期改造强烈,热演化史研究薄弱.恢复楚雄盆地构造-热演化史对系统评价盆地油气资源和深入认识青藏高原东南部的构造变形过程有重要意义.本文研究在楚雄盆地全盆地系统采集了裂变径迹样品,分析确定了盆地的抬升过程,结合大量镜质体反射率(RO)、包裹体测温等古温标,系统恢复了楚雄盆地构造-热演化史.裂变径迹研究结果表明楚雄断裂以西靠近哀牢山—红河断裂带地区的冷却年龄在41.9~72.7 Ma之间,主要为始新世41.9~55.5 Ma;楚雄断裂以东冷却年龄在20.0~38.4 Ma之间,主要为渐新世-早中新世.楚雄盆地抬升过程总体具有西早东晚的特征,主体部位20~38.4 Ma以来有一次快速抬升冷却过程.楚雄盆地三叠系热演化程度高,RO异常高值与火成岩活动密切相关.热演化史研究表明三叠系最大古地温在上新世之前达到,最高古地温梯度可达30℃·km^(-1).三叠系烃源岩在侏罗纪开始生烃,白垩纪为主要生烃期,古新世-始新世主要为过成熟生干气阶段.渐新世以来盆地整体抬升,地层温度降低,生烃作用减弱.楚雄盆地构造-热演化史除了受火成岩影响外,还与印度和欧亚板块的碰撞及哀牢山—红河断裂带的活动密切相关.

渤海湾盆地新生代拉张中心迁移的热-流变机制

在区域拉张应力作用下,岩石圈拉张减薄,减薄的中心地带成为拉张中心,渤海湾盆地新生代期间拉张中心具有自西向东、自南向北的迁移规律.为了探究渤海湾盆地新生代期间拉张中心的迁移与岩石圈热-流变结构的关系,本文在构造-热演化模拟的基础上,对渤海湾盆地各坳陷新生代岩石圈热-流变结构进行了计算.结果表明:渤海湾盆地新生代岩石圈拉张中心的迁移主要受岩石圈流变强度的非均匀性所控制.拉张中心开始位于岩石圈强度最低的济阳坳陷,拉张及伴随的的热冷却过程使得济阳坳陷岩石圈强度增大,并且超过了渤中坳陷岩石圈强度,因此,沙四段时期,拉张中心迁移到了渤中坳陷;沙三段时期,拉张中心迁移到了黄骅以及辽东湾坳陷.这是由于拉张速度较慢时(对于约90 km厚度的岩石圈而言,如果初始地壳厚度>34 km,拉张速度0.5 cm·a^(-1)),拉张初期会造成岩石圈强度的降低,但随着拉张的持续进行,岩石圈整体强度反而增加.孔店组时期,在岩石圈强度较大的冀中及临清坳陷形成拉张中心可能是叠加了其他地质因素(如前期构造、断裂活动、远程应力等)的影响.东营组时期,在岩石圈强度较大的渤中坳陷形成拉张中心,这可能是该时期岩石圈强度同时受到了郯庐断裂带的活动或小规模的地幔对流的影响,导致其实际强度比模拟计算的强度更低,因而使得应变集中在渤中以及辽东湾坳陷.

胶辽地块古元古代构造-热演化与深部过程

近年来的研究表明,华北克拉通由东部地块和西部地块于1.85Ga沿中部带碰撞形成,且碰撞前东部地块的西缘为活动陆缘,研究程度高。相比之下,东部地块的东缘大面积分布的古元古代胶辽吉造山带研究薄弱。根据新近多学科研究成果,综合揭示出胶辽吉造山带古元古代的构造-热演化和深部地质作用过程如下:早期底侵可能与深部地幔柱相关,发生于2.53～2.36 Ga之间,导致2.47～2.33 Ga岩墙事件、胶辽吉裂谷带的形成和双峰式火山活动。该幕底侵不仅导致地壳上部沉积格架的不同,也导致地壳内初始热结构的分异,从而决定不同空间上变质作用类型和PTt轨迹的差异。晚期底侵导致地壳下部于2.17Ga左右产生A型辽吉花岗岩、2.2Ga与2.0Ga的伟晶岩事件和顺层伸展变形。其主要的造山运动发生在1.911～1.883Ga之间,裂谷封闭、收缩变形,在该造山带南部出现高压变质。之后,1.875～1.66Ga之间,出现小断块的拆沉、环斑花岗岩、钾长花岗岩和正长岩的非造山岩浆事件、伟晶岩脉和基性岩墙群事件和榆树砬子群沉积。东部地块南缘大别—苏鲁一带1.7～1.6 Ga期间应是一个重要的古元古代强烈活动陆缘带。中元古代1.6Ga以后大别—苏鲁一带经历了一系列再造事件而与东部地块主体形成显著差异。总之,胶辽吉造山带的底侵样式、碰撞过程。

济阳坳陷新生代构造-热演化历史研究

沉积盆地的热历史是盆地的构造演化研究和油气资源评价及油气成藏的重要参数．本文利用磷灰石裂变径迹和镜质体反射率古温标模拟计算了济阳坳陷70口单井新生代以来的热演化历史，在此基础上分析了济阳坳陷内东营、沾化、惠民和车镇4个凹陷的地温梯度演化特征．研究结果表明，济阳坳陷新生代以来的古地温梯度是逐渐降低的，但在早第三纪时期下降的幅度较大，而在晚第三纪-第四纪则下降的幅度明显较小；济阳坳陷在孔店组沉积时期的地温梯度为54．0-50．0℃／km之间，沙河街沉积时期为50．0-40．0℃／km，东营组沉积时期为40.0—38.5℃／km。晚第三纪时期为38．5—35．5℃／km，第四纪以来基本未变．坳陷内4个凹陷的古地温梯度演化存在差异，特别是在早第三纪末期的东营构造运动以后，各凹陷的地温梯度演化差异更加明显．在晚第三纪时期，济阳坳陷各凹陷的地温梯度变化均较小，地温梯度的高低依次为东营凹陷、沾化凹陷、惠民凹陷和车镇凹陷．车镇凹陷的古地温梯度在整个新生代演化历史中均是济阳坳陷最低的．这种地温演化的差异与各凹陷的构造沉降演化史密切相关，同时地温演化差异也导致了各凹陷的烃源岩在生烃门限深度的差异．济阳坳陷的古地温梯度演化特征反映了济阳坳陷由断陷向坳陷的构造演化特征．

秦岭造山带中—新元古代(早期)地质演化

秦岭造山带是位于中国大陆中部并夹持于华北与扬子陆块之间的大陆造山带,是加里东期至印支期的碰撞造山带。对前加里东期演化虽然亦积累了不少资料,但认识上存在较大分歧。本文着重介绍秦岭造山带自中元古代晚期武关裂谷的打开(1243Ma±46Ma),中元古代末期松树沟洋盆的形成(1084Ma±73Ma～1030Ma±46Ma)以及新元古代早期同造山期花岗岩的侵入(960～840Ma)等自1.25Ga至0.84Ga期间的一系列热-构造事件,反映扬子大陆边缘前加里东期曾经历过一次“威尔逊构造旋回”,表明该区存在中—新元古代造山带的地质记录。但这次造山作用不是华北与扬子大陆的汇聚,而是曾属于扬子大陆边缘的“北秦岭变质地体”与其南的扬子大陆的一次汇聚过程。

南海北部陆缘热流变化特征及其影响因素分析

热流调查和构造热演化数值模拟是油气地热研究不可或缺的重要内容。沉积盆地在其演化过程中往往叠加了特殊构造事件。通过热流调查和构造热演化数值计算可以更好地约束这些特殊过程,重建更为真实的构造热演化历史。该文通过对南海北部琼东南盆地和珠江口盆地中段热流变化特征分析和构造热演化数值模拟,探讨了影响其热流变化的主要因素。结果表明,琼东南盆地可分3个热流分区:北部陆架与上陆坡区(50~70mW/m^2)、中央坳陷带深水区(70~85mW/m^2)和盆地东部深水区高热流带(>85mW/m^2);珠江口盆地中段从陆架往海盆方向热流呈阶梯式抬高,西江凹陷平均热流为55mW/m^2,番禺低隆起为58mW/m^2,白云凹陷为70mW/m^2,下陆坡区为85mW/m^2;陆坡区高热流不仅与岩石圈强烈减薄相关,而且还受到岩石圈破裂时引起的深部热物质上涌的影响,后者对现今陆坡区还有约20mW/m^2的热流贡献;琼东南盆地东部高热流值则主要受到晚中新世以来的岩体侵位热事件的影响,岩体侵入热事件对现今热流值贡献可达10~25mW/m^2。分析表明,在南海深水盆地开展构造热演化数值计算时,需要考虑沉积过程、海底扩张以及岩浆活动等影响因素。
