This study uses the application of zircon fission track (ZFT) and apatite fission track (AFT) thermochronometry technique to investigate the tectonic and uplift history of the Kuruketage area, north-east edge of the Tarim Basin. Based on measured ZFT, AFT and equivalent vitrinite reflectance measurements of samples in sedimentary rocks in Kuruketage area, the temperature time evolution history from early Paleozoic strata was modeled. The results show that the youngest peaks of ZFT at 371-392Ma and 328 - 305.7Ma record Hercynian tectonic and uplift event; the AFT peaks at 134.5 - 164Ma, 73 - 100Ma and 35.4Ma mainly represent the Late-Cretaceous tectonic and uplift event in Kuruketage area. The AFT thermal modeling results from the early Paleozoic strata indicate that the maximum paleo-temperature (at 140 215°C) experienced in late Silurian to early Devonian, and the strata temperature decreased to about 120°C before the Late-Cretaceous.

AbstractDeep-marine gravity-driven deposits represent one of the more investigated depositional systems due to their potential interest as target for exploration and carbon capture and storage activities, as well as an important record of the depositional history of a basin through time. Although the Halten Terrace (Norwegian Sea) is one of the main successful exploration areas, we still have poor understanding of the post-rift Cretaceous interval. Here, 3D seismic reflection and borehole data are integrated to investigate the stratigraphic distribution and sedimentological characteristics of the Cenomanian-Turonian intra Lange Sandstones in the Gimsan Basin and Grinda Graben. The Lange Formation records the deposition in a deep-marine environment of a thousand meter thick shale unit punctuated by tens of meters thick gravity-driven coarse-grained sandstone intervals sourced from the Norwegian mainland. The presence of gravity-driven deposits and the deep-marine setting is supported by seismic interpretation, architectural elements and the facies analysis of cored material acquired within the studied stratigraphic interval. Borehole data indicate the presence of both turbidites and hybrid-event beds rich in mud content. The results of this study have implications for the understanding of the distribution and reservoir potentiality of the Late Cretaceous Lange Formation in the Halten Terrace.
