Abstract:

The faults of Peacock river slope are divided into one first order fault that is Peacock river fault and others are second order. The faults are mainly NW to NWW and NE to NEE strike directions and develop in sections. The activities of faults are multiple phases and inherited. The faults of Peacock river slope develop imbricate thrusting, back thrusting, relative thrusting, “Y”pattern structural styles. The faults control the hydrocarbon accumulation on connecting resource rock,developing fault traps, improving reservoir rock condition and controlling the hydrocarbon accumulation scale.

Key words: Peacock river slope, faults characteristic, hydrocarbon accumulation
