The Sichuan Basin is rich in oil and gas resources, with its basement structure controlling hydrocarbon distribution from the ultra-deep Sinian to the shallow Jurassic Strata. With the application of ultra-deep gravity-magnetic-electric-seismic joint exploration techniques since 2010, the Neoproterozoic extensional structures in the Sichuan Basin has been continuously confirmed through exploration. Based on the high-resolution gravity-magnetic-electric data and "double-high" (high fidelity and high resolution) seismic data, combined with the outcrop observations along the basin margin and borehole data from 8 wells drilled into the Sinian Doushantuo Formation, a comprehensive interpretation study is carried out. It is proposed that the Sichuan Basin has developed "western Sichuan rift", which has mainly experienced three evolutionary stages from a rift to a depression. Stage 1: Nanhua rift stage, which was dominated by multiple near NE-trending horsts and grabens. Stage 2: the intra-cratonic depression stage happened during the deposition of the Sinian Doushantuo Formation, which was formed by merging the Northwest Sichuan Depression and the Central Sichuan Uplift. Stage 3: intra-cratonic depression stage happened during the deposition of the Sinian Dengying Formation, forming a nearly SN-trending extensional trough which opens towards northwest. Further study shows that strike-slip faults could easily occur during the evolution of the western Sichuan rift. The rift provides conditions for hydrocarbon accumulation in the Nanhua-Sinian Strata where oil and gas can be generated by lower strata, transported by faults and stored by upper strata. The Nanhua-Sinian petroleum system in the western-central Sichuan area is a new potential exploration area.
Key words: rift; intra-cratonic depression; Nanhua System; Sinian System; Neoproterozoic; Sichuan Basin
