“…Examples include a study of the Upper Cambrian and/or Temadokian, Upper Ordovician and Lower Silurian source rocks in the Western Baltic region; a study on the thermal history of burial history of Cretaceous source rocks in the Villa Cruz Basin, Mexico; and the Phanerozoic burial and erosion model inside the North American Craton. Therefore, the development of this work is particularly important [2,3]. The petroleum systems in the Tabei Sag are completed.…”

The pre-Jurassic in the north depression of the Tuha depression is the most favorable replacement strata to obtain new reserves in the Turpan–Hami Basin. (Pre-Jurassic, in this paper, refers to the Permian and Triassic.) The main source rocks are the Taodonggou Group, of which the burial history and hydrocarbon generation potential remain unconfirmed. The investigation of the burial and thermal history is vital for the basin analysis and hydrocarbon exploration. Therefore, in this paper, by using the acoustic time difference method, vitrinite reflectance method, stratigraphic trend method and PetroMod-1D software, the differential characteristics of denudation thickness, burial history and thermal evolution history of different tectonic units in different periods of Taibei Sag in the Turpan–Hami basin are studied, and their influence on the petroleum system is analyzed, and then the zones with exploration potential are optimized. The results show that the Taibei Sag has experienced multiple tectonic uplift events. The Late Indosinian movement has profound effects on the Taodonggou Group source rocks. The rather large uplift amplitude postpones the maturation of source rocks. In addition, the Turpan–Hami Basin is a typical cold basin. Therefore, the thermal maturity of the source rocks is relatively low, with respect to the relatively deep burial. The thermal histories of the different sub-sags in the study area are slightly differentiated from each other. The Taodonggou Group source rocks in the Taibei Sag generally became mature during the Mid–Late Jurassic epoch, except for those in the Central–Southern Shanbei sub-sag, represented by Well LT-1, which reached the mature stage during the Late Triassic epoch. The study area has well-developed reservoir rocks, and effective reservoir bodies are formed in the slope zone and near the Tainan Sag, due to the higher porosity and permeability of reservoir rocks. The statistics related to the faults and an analysis of the structural styles of oil reservoirs indicate that the structural slope and anticline of the Huobei, Lianbei and Shanbei sub-sags are favorable for increasing reserves and production of hydrocarbons.

The North American craton interior preserves a >1 Ga history of near surface processes that inform ongoing debates regarding timing and drivers of continental‐scale deformation and erosion associated with far‐field orogenesis. We tested various models of structural inversion on a major segment of the Midcontinent Rift along the Douglas Fault (DF) in northern Wisconsin, which accommodated ≳10 km of total vertical displacement. U‐Pb detrital zircon and vein calcite Δ47/U‐Pb thermochronometry from the hanging wall constrain the majority of uplift (≳8.5 km) and deformation to 1052–1036 Ma during the Ottawan phase of the Grenvillian orogeny. Combined U‐Pb zircon dates, Δ47/U‐Pb calcite thermochronometry, and field data that document syn‐ to early post‐depositional deformation in the footwall constrain a second stage of uplift (1–1.5 km) ca. 995–980 Ma during the Rigolet phase of the Grenvillian orogeny. A minor phase of Appalachian far‐field orogenesis is associated with minimal thrust reactivation. Our combined analyses identified the 995–980 Ma Bayfield Group as a Grenvillian foreland basin with an original thickness 0.5–2 km greater than currently preserved. By quantifying flexural loading and other subsidence mechanisms along the Douglas Fault, we identify dynamic subsidence as a mechanism that could be consistent with the development of late‐Grenvillian transcontinental fluvial systems. Minimal post‐Grenvillian erosion (0.5–2 km) in this part of the craton interior has preserved the Bayfield Group and equivalent successions, limiting the magnitude of regional erosion that can be attributed to Neoproterozoic glaciation.

In this research, we compared thermochronological and traditional one-dimensional thermal models across the Middle Magdalena Valley (MMV), Eastern Cordillera, and Eastern Llanos Basins in Colombia. These models allow us to relate cooling/heating histories to exhumation events, subsidence, fault activities, and fluid flow. The Eastern Cordillera and Eastern Llanos Basins are discriminated as prospective zones for hydrocarbon (HC) generation. The De Armas Syncline at the MMV basin shows high thermal maturity (127°C), describing rocks completely depleted in terms of HC generation. The eastern zone of this syncline is buried until it reaches temperatures above 150°C. The contrast between thermal models in the Eastern Cordillera basin suggests a possible sediment supply scenario from the west to the east of the Soapaga Fault. In the Eastern Llanos basin, the thermal histories between both models explain the latest uplift and sediment supply processes from the hinterland zone of the Eastern Cordillera to the foothill zone of the Eastern Llanos basin. In terms of thermal evolution, the three basins are different, reaching different levels of burial and HC maturity. However, in terms of cooling events related to exhumation, the basins have similarities as they are controlled by the mountain building of the Eastern Cordillera of Colombia.
