Abstract:

Concerning the problems in the traditional division of paleohydrodynamic stage, this paper takes account of the specific tectonic characteristics of Dabashan foreland thrust belt, and divides its evolution into sedimentary hydrodynamic stage, infiltrating hydrodynamic stage, tectonic hydrodynamic stage and burial hydrodynamic stage in the unit of hydrocarbon accumulation play. The lower play had gone through one sedimentary hydrodynamic stage, four infiltration hydrodynamic stages, four bury hydrodynamic stages and three tectonic hydrodynamic stages; The middle play, one sedimentary hydrodynamic stage, three infiltration hydrodynamic stages, two bury hydrodynamic stages and three tectonic hydrodynamic stages, and the upper one, mainly infiltration hydrodynamic stage. The burial hydrodynamic stage from Permian to Early Cretaceous was favorable for hydrocarbon generation, migration and accumulation, but the reservoirs were adjusted and reformed a lot during the tectonic hydrodynamic stage. They were further adjusted and destroyed during the infiltrating hydrodynamic stage after Late Cretaceous. Oil crack were common in the middle hydrocarbon play in burial/connate hydrodynamic stage and tectonic hydrodynamic stage from the end of Late Triassic to Late Cretaceous, in the meantime, lots of adjustedandreformed oil and gas reservoirs were formed; after Late Cretaceous, many adjustments and reforms of oil and gas reservoirs took place in the middle hydrocarbon play in Dabashan foreland depression belt during burial/connate hydrodynamic stage and tectonic hydrodynamic stage, while the plays in Dabashan foreland basement detachment tectonic belt and Dabashan foreland decollement tectonic belt in cover strata were mainly destroyed and reformed.

Key words: paleohydrodynamics, formation and preservation of oil and gas reservoir, Dabashan foreland thrust belt
