“…From East to West, tidal flat facies, restricted platform facies, open platform facies, and shallow marine shelf facies developed in sequence (Ye et al, 1997;Pu et al, 2014) (Figure 7B). The tidal flat facies developed in the Eastern part of the basin were in the form of NE-SW trending strips, the width of which was greater within the Guchengxu Uplift and the Manjiaer Depression (Figure 7B).…”

The proto-type basin and tectono-paleogeographic evolution of the Tarim basin in the Late Paleozoic

The Tarim basin is a large composite and superimposed sedimentary basin that has undergone complex multi-period and polycyclic tectonic movements. Understanding the proto-type basin and tectono-paleogeographic evolution of this complex superimposed basin is important for understanding the basin-mountain coupling and dynamical mechanisms of the Paleo-Asian and Tethys tectonic systems as well as hydrocarbon exploration and development. Based on previous works, together with the recent exploration, and geological evidences, three global plate tectonic pattern maps, four Tarim proto-type basin maps (in present-day geographic coordinates) and four regional tectono-paleogeography maps (in paleogeographic coordinates) during the Late Paleozoic are provided in this paper. Based on these maps, the proto-type basin and tectono-paleogeographic features of the Tarim basin during the Late Paleozoic are illustrated. The Devonian to Permian is an important period of terranes/island-arcs accretion and oceanic closure along the periphery of the Tarim block, and a critical period when the polarity of Tarim basin (orientation of basin long-axis) rotated at the maximum angle clockwise. During the Late Paleozoic, the periphery of the Tarim block was first collisional orogeny on its northern margin, followed by continuous collisional accretion of island arcs on its southern margin: on the Northern margin, the North and South Tianshan Oceans closed from East to West; on the South-Western margin, the Tianshuihai Island Arc gradually collided and accreted. These tectonic events reduced the extent of the seawater channel of the passive continental margin in the Western part of the basin until its complete closure at the end of the Permian. The Tarim basin was thus completely transformed into an inland basin. This is a process of regression and uplift. The Southwest of the Tarim basin changed from a passive to an active continental margin, through back-arc downwarping and eventually complete closure to foreland setting. The intra-basin lithofacies range from shelf-littoral to platform-tidal flat to alluvial plain-lacustrine facies. The tectonic-sedimentary evolution of the Tarim basin is strongly controlled by peripheral geotectonic setting.

Improvement of seismic structural interpretation of Zagros fold-thrust belt by dip scanning in common diffraction surface imaging method

Geological interpretation and seismic imaging on data acquired from complex media, especially when accompanied by a thick layer of salt and/or anhydrate, is always a controversial task. The aim of this study is to introduce a method for seismic imaging of complex structures and study the folding scenario of the Zagros overthrust in SW Iran based on the improved seismic image processed by the proposed method. A diffraction based version of the common reflection surface stack method, called the common diffraction surface (CDS), was selected to enhance quality of seismic image from the Zagros fold-thrust belt. The 2D CDS method was also developed here to 3D partial CDS. Consequently, three sets of 2D and a set of 3D seismic data were processed with the conventional Kirchhoff prestack time migration and the partial common diffraction surface methods. Geological models released in previous studies of the Zagros overthrust were used as the base model of interpretation. Structural interpretation on seismic sections with new method was in accordance with previous geological models and improved in some parts where the new method could enhance quality of the seismic image. Seismic structural interpretation shows the inner part of the belt was subjected to folding, uplift and erosion. This mechanism constituted a resistant mass in the Dezful Embayment in front of the SW moving thrust and folds. This resistant mass formed tightly folded or thrusted and highly shortened structures in the Izeh zone and High Zagros area. In the oil rich zone of the Dezful Embayment, the thick evaporate-rich Gachsaran Formation, decouples the folding & Behshad Jodeiri Shokri
