CANBERRA, Australia, Feb 20 (Bernama-AsiaNet) -- Today, Australian geoscience company Frogtech Geoscience released a comprehensive new basement-focused study of the hydrocarbon-rich South China Sea and Gulf of Thailand; a geologically complex region.
The study (South China Sea SEEBASE (R))includes new, terrane-based plate reconstructions of the Proto-South China and cutting-edge insights into the tectonic evolution of the region. The redefinition of the Paleotethys suture, a fundamental tectonic structure, shows that it formed a significant regional rheological and thermal boundary that was important to the evolution of hydrocarbon-rich basin systems through time. The resulting structural and tectonic model gives petroleum explorers a new understanding of important early rift depocentres that may contain potential source rocks, and the impact of shifting sediment provenance through time.
