摘要
Used high-resolution seismic data and combined with outcrop and drilling data,we analyzed structural characteristics of Kedong structure(the east segment of Keliyang-Fusha fault belt) in the piedmont of western Kunlun mountain,which,as a transpression structure,consists of mainly basement faults and shows a gently dipping backlimb(crest) and intensely-deformed forelimb.Growth strata reveal that Keliyang-Fusha faults formed a monocline(nose) structure by thrust in Pliocene with the deformation of limb rotation,that is to say the Kedong structure is a basement-involved structure.Later Keliyang-Fusha faults broke through the Kedong monocline and cut it into fault blocks,resulting in a suite of steeply-reversed strata exposed to the surface,which contained Jurassic-Cenozoic beds.Because deep fault blocks didn’t suffer intense deformation,they formed good traps for hydrocarbon accumulation.Drilling data of Well KD-1 indicated that such blocks are of good exploration potential.
