Features: This book is based on a large amount of typical practical data, rich exploration experience, and brand-new theoretical research results. It divides the structural styles in China's oil and gas exploration into six major genetic types and several subtypes, including extensional, compressional, strike-slip, inversion, gravitational, and thermal. It also elaborates in detail on the geometry, kinematic characteristics, and dynamic background of various structural styles, as well as their relationship with oil and gas accumulation and distribution. Guided by plate tectonics theory, stress field, deformation field, and reservoir dynamics theory, the book explains and clarifies different types of basins and their various genetic structural styles, providing a theoretical basis for the correct interpretation of seismic data and establishing various geological models. The close connection between production and research, as well as practice and theory, is the major feature of this book. It is of reference value for petroleum geology theoretical researchers and oilfield exploration workers.
