Abstract
- It is of great importance to study the structural division of Yili Basin in north‐west China to guide oil and gas exploration. In this paper, high‐precision gravity area measurement is carried out, and the gravity scratch analysis method is employed to research the Northern Depression Belt of Yili Basin. Based on surface scratch recognition principles, the ridge coefficient and the edge coefficient of gravitational potential field are extracted. And a clearer understanding of fracture characteristics and structural boundaries is obtained. Faults F1, F2, F3, and F4 control the boundaries between Baishidun Sub‐Bulge and its peripheries; meanwhile, Faults F5 and F6 control the internal structural framework of Baishidun Sub‐Bulge and its hydrocarbon migration. Fault F4 is the structural boundary between Baishidun Sub‐Bulge and Gongliu Sub‐Sag. The result shows that the gravity scratch analysis method can get a good application in small‐scale structure recognization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
