Abstract

Baram Delta Province is located at the NW Borneo active margin.It has the features of different zones in north and south: the overlap-thrusting belt under compression in north,extensive subsiding belt generated by extension in middle and compressive inverting belt in south.Different fromthe area developing Cenozoic deltas located on the passive-margin,its total shortening in compression province goes beyond 1.8% compared with the stretching in extension province and this can not be explained by the ideal delta system.Based on the regional tectonic setting analysis and stress features in the study area,it regards the far-field compression and the function driven by gravity during delta growing process as the mechanism for this phenomenon.For the effection of tetonic division,the upper,middle and lower oil-gas reservoir-forming assemblages distributed in different tectonic zone; different stress background generated unique structural trap in various tectonic belt and the fault with long-term activity provided major pathways for hydrocarbon migration.Thus,the conclusion will be helpful for the research of hydrocarbon formation and further hydrocarbon exploration in Baram Delta area.
