Explaining Structural Difference Between the Eastern and Western Zones of the Qiongdongnan Basin, Northern South China Sea: Insights From Scaled Physical Models

Abstract: The South China Sea (SCS) is the largest marginal sea in the western Pacific region. The region's unique tectonic location and sedimentary characteristics, that is, rich oil and gas resources, have attracted substantial attention from geologists and geophysicists worldwide. In this study, we focused on the Qiongdongnan Basin, an important natural gas exploration deep-water area in the northern continental shelf of the SCS. It is also the main area for continuous reserve increases in large and medium gas fields… Show more

“…The boundaries between these rift segments typically exhibit a variety of structural styles, such as transfer faults/zones, accommodation zones and basement highs (Clemson et al., 1997; Heilman et al., 2019; Meisling et al., 2001; Zhong & Escalona, 2020). As documented in previous studies, most continental rifts are segmented along strike regardless of whether they are incipient rifts (East African Rift, Corti et al., 2018; Hayward & Ebinger, 1996; Kolawole et al., 2021; Lao‐Davila et al., 2015; Scholz et al., 2020; Upcott et al., 1996); failed rifts (Bohai Bay Basin, Wu, Zhang, et al., 2022; Jianghan Basin, Wu et al., 2020); or fully evolved passive margins (Atlantic margin, Franke et al., 2007; Gouiza & Naliboff, 2021; Gouiza & Paton, 2019; Meisling et al., 2001; Pereira & Alves, 2011; Peron‐Pinvidic & Osmundsen, 2018; Soto et al., 2011; Tasrianto & Escalona, 2015; Gulf of Aden, Fournier et al., 2004; Leroy et al., 2010; northern South China Sea margin, Yang et al., 2022; Zhang et al., 2021; Zhao et al., 2020).…”
