Features: Based on the analysis of sedimentary strata in the Kuqa-Keping area along the northern margin of the Tarim Basin, the book examines the characteristics of fault-related folds in the reactivated foreland thrust belt and analyzes deformation timing. Utilizing the fault seal theory, it investigates the features of hydrocarbon migration and accumulation in fault-bend and fault-propagation folds. The book elaborates on the dynamics of hydrocarbon accumulation in the Kuqa reactivated foreland basin and proposes preferred exploration targets. This book is suitable for university teachers, graduate and undergraduate students in petroleum geology and exploration, as well as engineers engaged in oil and gas field exploration.
