Geometry, differential displacement, and evolution of the Cenozoic fault system in the western offshore Bohai Bay Basin: A case study in the Shaleitian Uplift with surrounding areas

The western offshore Bohai Bay Basin (BBB) is located at the intersection of the Zhangjiakou–Penglai Fault Zone (ZPFZ) and the Huanghua–Dongming Fault Zone (HDFZ). Exploration experience proves that faults' activity played an import role in hydrocarbon accumulation, whereas characters and evolution of the fault system remain poorly understood. In this study, characters and evolution of the fault system were investigated through abundant seismic...
