Evolution of depositional environment of the Pliensbachian Stage (Lower Jurassic) coal‐bearing series in the Qaidam Basin, NW China

“…The research on sedimentary characteristics and depositional evolution of coal‐bearing series in terrestrial lacustrine basins has drawn worldwide attention in recent years (Basu et al, 2021; Benayad et al, 2019; Chen et al, 2022; Hou et al, 2023; Lu et al, 2020a; Wainman & McCabe, 2019; Xia et al, 2018, 2019, 2020; Yue et al, 2018). The Qaidam Basin, located in the eastern margin of the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau, is a typical Mesozoic–Cenozoic basin and covers 150,000 km 2 between latitudes 36° N–39° N and longitudes 91° E–98° E. The Lower–Middle Jurassic rocks at the Qaidam Basin have been proven to be an important succession for hydrocarbon exploration and development (Cao et al, 2012; Hou et al, 2022; Liu et al, 2018; Ritts et al, 1999; Tian et al, 2018; Wang et al, 2005; Yang et al, 2004).…”

The sedimentary characteristics and depositional evolution in the Middle Jurassic Xishanyao Formation, Southeastern Xiayan Rise, Junggar Basin, NW China

“…The research on sedimentary characteristics and depositional evolution of fluvial delta in non‐marine lacustrine rift basins has drawn world‐wide attentions from the academia and oil industry. In addition, the topics with regarding to sedimentary characteristics depositional evolution of fluvial delta have long been of significantly scientific interests both in China and abroad (Bao et al, 2005; Benayad et al, 2019; Eberth et al, 2001; Hammer, Mørk, & Næss, 2010; Liu et al, 2020; Mahgoub, Padmanabhan, & Abdullatif, 2016; Nichols, 2009; Xia et al, 2018, 2019, 2020). The southeastern Xiayan Rise, located in northwestern Junggar Basin, has been proved to be potential areas for hydrocarbon migration and accumulation based on reservoir mechanism analysis (Bao et al, 2011; Fu, Ji, Li, Wei, & Niu, 2018; Liu et al, 2020).…”
