The Songliao, North China, and Zhangzhou basins are of special interest due to their considerable exploration depths, extensive development history, and high levels of research activity. This study focuses on the three basins to analyze their thermal reservoir characteristics in eastern China. Between 2017 and 2023, the research team carried out a comprehensive analysis involving deep boreholes that exceeded 4000 m in depth within these three basins. They meticulously created detailed physical profiles that captured essential characteristics such as porosity, permeability, and thermal properties, reaching down to the basement of each basin. The findings indicated that variations in thermal conductivity within shallow geotechnical layers significantly influence the redistribution of deep thermal energy in the upper layers of the earth. Furthermore, differences in physical properties notably affect heat transport processes. The research proposes distinct heat models tailored for each basin: For the Songliao Basin, a low-permeability model with homogeneous thermal properties is constructed; for the North China Basin, high permeability and thermal conductivity layers are highlighted; and a fracture network controlling water and heat is presented in the Zhangzhou Basin. To elucidate the thermal structure of these basins, the Curie surface and Moho surface were analyzed. The shallow Curie surface indicates ongoing intense thermal activity stemming from crustal heat sources, while a shallow Moho surface signifies historical vigorous mantle thermal activity associated with mantle source heat production. Furthermore, the research evaluates the geothermal resources and the potential for carbon emission reduction in these basins. Total volume of exploitable geothermal fluid is estimated to be 76.9×10<sup>9</sup> m<sup>3</sup>/a, corresponding to an annual renewable geothermal energy 1.47×10<sup>16</sup> kJ. The implementation of geothermal energy could lead to a reduction in annual CO<sub>2</sub> emissions by nearly 2×10<sup>9</sup> t, which constitutes about 17.4% of China's national carbon emissions in 2022. This estimation provides invaluable theoretical insights and data support for geothermal exploration and sustainable development in eastern China.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":45329,"journal":{"name":"China Geology","volume":"9 1","pages":"Pages 195-213"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147425191","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The provenance analysis indicates that the upper Shenshan subgroup primarily originates from the Yangtze Domain, while the Banxi Group from both the Yangtze and Cathaysia domains. Synthesizing with previous studies, the Shenshan Group should be subdivided into the lower and upper subgroups which represent distinct tectonic backgrounds. The lower subgroup is inferred to have formed in an Early Neoproterozoic fore-arc setting, akin to the Zhoutan group.

The multi-source hydrocarbon generation background and strong tectonic activity have led to the simultaneous production of heavy oil and light oil from multi-layer in the area, which makes it very difficult to identify oil origins, presently, the hot debate on the oil origins needs to be clarified. In this paper, due to the selective consumption of different types of compounds in crude oils by severe and intense biodegradation, the commonly used oilsource correlation tools are ineffective or may produce misleading results, this study adopted a biomarker recovery method based on the principle of mass conservation that uses the sum of the mass of the residual biomarkers and their corresponding biodegradation products to obtain the mass of the original biomarkers, improving the reliability of oil origins determination. Based on the nature and occurrence of crude oils, the investigated oils are subdivided into three types, Group A, Group B and Group C. Group A, light oils occurred mainly in lower structure Neogene Shawan Formation in the western Chepaizi Uplift, while Group B, heavy oils occurred mainly in higher structure Neogene Shawan Formation in the western Chepaizi Uplift.

Additionally, burial and thermal evolution modeling was employed to support the analysis. A systematic assessment of Raman spectral parameters (e.g., the positions and intensity ratio of the D and G bands) revealed robust correlations between the thermal history patterns of source rocks and molecular structural evolution parameters. The subsequent mechanistic quantification demonstrated that the maturation state of the source rocks was subjected to the hierarchical control of three principal factors: Peak heating temperature, the duration of sustained thermal intensity, and effective maturation duration. In addition, comparative analyses demonstrated that the anthracites attained higher structural ordering under sustained thermal conditions. This contrasts with the disordered carbon matrices observed in the intermittently heated shales. Raman spectroscopy further revealed broader variations in the D and G band intensities of the Longmaxi Formation compared to the Qiongzhusi Formation. This difference is associated with their different thermal histories.

The training dataset was established, consisting of negative samples (non-hazard points) randomly generated based on the distance threshold, positive samples (i.e., historical hazards), and 13 conditioning factors.

Furthermore, the machine learning models constructed by considering the distance threshold outperformed those built using the unoptimized dataset.

Asia continent boasts the most comprehensive kinds of minerals, with reserves of at least 38 of over 80 widely used minerals worldwide accounting for more than 30% of the global total reserves. Asia continent experienced three main tectonic evolution and mineralization stages: The Precambrian, the Paleozoic, and the Mesozoic to Cenozoic. The abundant mineral resources in this continent can be divided into seven first-order metallogenic belts (metallogenic domains), 18 second-order metallogenic belts (metallogenic provinces), 61 third-order metallogenic belts (metallogenic zones), and nine main minerogenetic series. Asia continent exhibits the most significant metallogenic specialization among all continents. Specifically, granite belts of Asia continent manifest pronounced metallogenic specialization of tin, rare metals, and porphyry Cu-Au-Mo deposits. Its maficultramafic rock belts and ophiolite belts display notable metallogenic specialization of lateritic nickel deposits and magmatic type chromite deposits, while its Mesozoic to Cenozoic basalt belts show remarkable metallogenic specialization of lateritic bauxite deposits. Consequently, many giant metallogenic belts were formed, including the Southeast Asian tin belt, the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau rare metal metallogenic belt, the Tethyan porphyry Cu-Au-Mo metallogenic belt, the circum-Pacific porphyry Cu-Au-Mo metallogenic belt, the Southeast Asian lateritic bauxite metallogenic belt, the Deccan Plateau lateritic bauxite metallogenic belt in India, the Southeast Asian lateritic nickel metallogenic belt, and the Tethyan magmatic type chromite metallogenic belt—all of which are significant metallogenic belts in Asia continent. Future mineral exploration in Asia should focus primarily on the Precambrian mineralization of ancient cratons, the Paleozoic mineralization of the Central Asian-Mongolian orogenic belt, and the Mesozoic to Cenozoic mineralization of the Tethyan and circum-Pacific mobile belts. Asia's mining industry not only underpins its own economic growth but also propels global economic development and industrialization, contributing significantly to the world economy. Asia boasts the highest production value of minerals, the largest annual production of minerals, and the greatest trade value of mineral products among all the continents, having emerged as the trade center of global mineral products and the center of the mining industry economy.

The ground motion characteristics were presented and justified, particularly for the most impacted direction. Ground motion predictions were analysed to define the spectral accelerations, and matching spectral accelerations were conducted to produce ground motions for each site. Non-linear seismic ground response analysis based on the hyperbolic model of pressure pressure-dependent was performed to investigate cyclic soil behaviour. The results revealed that ground motion is crucial in significant soil damage, and the earthquake energy could trigger deep liquefaction. As the most significant ground motion, the vertical ground motion is essential in determining deep liquefaction. The discussion on the impact of liquefaction based on the results of the numerical analysis is presented. Significant ground motion with a longer duration could have a substantial impact on deep liquefaction in the study area.
