Decoupling Detachment Structure and Hydrocarbon Bearing Basin

First, this paper introduces the concept of decoupling detachment structure and the continental extention model.Second, delves in the control action of decoupling detachment structure on the formation of basins,sedimentary structures and oil-gas pools.Last, points out that the trend of basin researches in the international geological academic circle is progressively changing from traditional structure and sedimentution analyses to geodynamical and geothermal analyses.
