The Qiulitage fold and thrust belt (QFTB) is situated in the Kuqa Depression, exhibiting spectacular salt structures with well-defined geometric and kinematic characteristics and thereby playing a significant role in advancing the study of salt structures worldwide. This research, based on regional geology, well logging, and newly acquired three-dimensional seismic data, applies principles of salt-related fault structures to interpret seismic data and restore structural equilibrium in the Qiulitage fold and thrust belt within the Kuqa Depression by conducting quantitative studies on structural geometry and kinematics. Results indicate clear differences in salt structures between the eastern and western segments of it, vertically divided into upper salt, salt layer, and lower salt and horizontally into four parts. The Dina segment features a single-row basement-involved thrust fault, the East QFTB segment displays detachment thrust faults involving cover layers, the Central QFTB segment exhibits detachment thrust faults involving multiple rows of cover layers, the leading edge forms structural wedges, and the West QFTB segment develops blind-thrust faults. During the deposition of the Kangcun formation, the eastern profile experiences an 18% shortening rate, 14% in the central part, and 9% in the western part. For the Kuqa formation, the eastern profile experiences a 10% shortening rate, 9% in the central part, and 3% in the western part, indicating more significant deformation in the east than in the west. Quantitative statistical analysis reveals that different types of detachments, paleogeomorphology, and northeast-directed compressive stress exert control over the Qiulitage fold-thrust belt.
