RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN STRUCTURAL STRESS AND HYDROCARBON BEARING POOL FORMATION
构造应力与油气成藏关系

This paper discusses the influence of structural stress on the generation, migration, accumulation and distribution of petroleum. It points out that structural stress can result in faults, fractures and many kinds of structural traps, and is an important driving force for petroleum migration. There is a close relationship between structural stress and fluid pressure, and the tensional stress area is favorable to the accumulation of petroleum. Structural stress can also provide energy for the transformation from organic matter to oil and gas.
