Relationship between Faulted Structure and Hydrocarbon Migration and Accumulation——Taking Kenli Fault Zone in Zhanhua Depression as An Example

Faulted structures are the key factors defining hydrocarbon distribution in a basin. The control of faulted structures on hydrocarbon migration in this area is discussed on the basis of detail study on structural evolution and features of the faulted structures in the Kenli fault zone. Four reservoir-forming patterns are summarized on the basis of the reservoirs discovered in this zone. It is concluded that hydrocarbon distribution is under control of structural elements in this area.
