Fault Cycling and Its Impact on Hydrocarbon Accumulation: Insights from the Neogene Southwestern Qaidam Basin

Building upon the geological cycle theory, this study proposes fault cycles as a critical component of tectonic cyclicity in petroliferous basins. Focusing on reservoir-controlling faults in the southwestern Qaidam Basin, we systematically analyze fault architectures and identify three distinct faul...
