Overview

Randomized trial reveals the tectono-thermal evolution impacts hydrocarbon systems in the eastern Ordos Basin, suggesting significant implications for resource exploration.

Key Points

  • The study aims to analyze the tectonic evolution and its effect on hydrocarbon systems in the Eastern Ordos Basin and adjacent Shanxi region.
  • New apatite fission-track data were collected from the eastern Ordos Basin.
  • Thermal-history models were integrated with existing low-temperature thermochronological datasets.
  • Five major tectono-thermal episodes since the Late Ordovician were defined based on cooling episodes and spatial variations in exhumation.
  • Apatite fission-track ages ranged from 39.5 to 24.8 Ma, with cooling episodes at 39.5–32.7 Ma and 26.6–24.8 Ma.
  • Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous tectono-thermal reactivation coincided with peak hydrocarbon generation.
  • Cenozoic uplift and fault reactivation affected hydrocarbon preservation and coalbed methane enrichment.
