The geometry and growth of normal faults are fundamental to the evolution and petroleum prospectivity of sedimentary basins, controlling trap development; source, reservoir, and seal rock distribution; and fluid flow. The poorly studied, petroliferous Ceduna Subbasin located offshore southern Australia contains an east–southeast-striking, gravity-driven fault array, which soles out onto a southwest-dipping detachment horizon.

When OPEC announced a six-month agreement to curb production and reduce the world’s crude-supply surplus, skeptics quickly observed that a lot of people would have to keep their promises in order to make a meaningful dent in the world’s oil supply.

The terms “resilient” and “flexible” are not often used to describe OPEC. But they might be the best two words to characterize the organization.

It is widely acknowledged that the growth and linkage of a boundary fault affects the evolution of the accompanying sedimentary basin and exerts a strong influence on its sedimentary characteristics. In this study, we attempt to discuss the evolution of a boundary fault and rift basin by using seismic interpretation, incremental fault throw and growth rate–distance (G–d) profile, which are more suitable parameters than the expansion index in rift basins where footwall strata are missing because of erosion or a depositional hiatus.

By one measure, 2016 shaped up to be the worst time for international oil and gas discoveries in years. By another, last year looks like the worst for international oil additions in decades.

Jimusar sag, which lies in the Junggar Basin, is an important tight oil study area in China. However, the properties and origin of the crude oil and the geochemical characteristics of the tight oil from the Lucaogou Formation have not yet been studied.

The Triassic Yanchang Formation contains the main oil-bearing strata in the Ordos Basin, central China. But the sedimentology of the Late Triassic is still under debate, and flood-generated hyperpycnal-flow deposits and their implications for unconventional petroleum development long have been overlooked.
