“…Nearly all of the deformation, uplift, and formation of petroleum traps within the North Afghan platform is of Miocene or younger age and most is younger than 5 Ma (contrast the conclusions of Kingston and Clarke [1995]). The Harirud fault zone is only sparsely seismically active; in contrast, the Darvaz fault zone and the aligned, north-striking, left-lateral Chaman fault farther south are much more seismically active.…”

“…A cover sequence of Mesozoic and Tertiary strata overlies the basement, is as thick as 6 km at the Afghan border, and thickens northward to as much as 16 km (Brookfield and Hashmat, 2001). The cover sequence hosts the mature Amu-Dar'ya gas-oil province of Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan (Kingston and Clarke, 1995). Most faults within the platform strike west or west-northwest and lack significant offset (Brookfield and Hashmat, 2001).…”

The Amu Darya Basin (ADB) has been studied primarily for its important hydrocarbon reserves and to a lesser extent for its geodynamic evolution. The ADB is located on the SE portion of the Turan Platform, between the sutures of the Turkestan and Palaeo-Tethys oceans, which closed during the Late Palaeozoic and Early Mesozoic, respectively. Blocks and island arcs accreted to Eurasia during the Palaeozoic form a poorly defined, heterogeneous basement underlying the ADB. They played an important role in shaping its composite structure into variously orientated sub-basins and highs. In this paper, depth–structure and isopach maps, and regional cross-sections, are analysed to unravel the location and origin of the main structural elements and to characterize the subsidence evolution of the ADB. The main tectonic events leading to the formation and evolution of the ADB took place: (1) in the Late Palaeozoic–Early Triassic (back-arc, rollback and extension/strike-slip); (2) from the Middle Triassic to the Triassic–Jurassic boundary (Eo-Cimmerian collision of Gondwana-derived continental blocks with Eurasia); and (3) during the Early–Middle Jurassic (post-collision extensional event). The last part of this evolution reflects shortening and flexure due to Cenozoic collisions to the south. Palaeotectonic maps are used to relate these events to the geodynamics of the Tethyan domain.

Petroleum Geology and Resources of Afghanistan

Abstract: Afghanistan consists largely of a series of continental fragments that, moving northward, docked and accreted to the southern proto-Asia continent.
