摘要
Three typical near EW-trending cross-sections of Changling fault depression in the Songliao Basin were studied using the theory of balanced cross-sections. The analysis indicates that rifting of the basin started in Huoshiling period and subsided intensively in Shahezi and Yingcheng periods, with extension rates of 907.50, 1 373.90, and 1 100.00 m/Ma, respectively, peaking at the Yingcheng period. Therefore, large-scale low-magnitude folding structure formed by tectonic activities at the end of Shahezi and Yingcheng periods is a favorable zone for accumulation of oil and natural gas.
