Origin of a giant fuzzy reflection zone and its implication for natural gas exploration in the southwestern Qiongdongnan Basin of the South China Sea

Junhui Yu et al.

Summary: Through the analysis of the multichannel seismic profile CFT2011 of the southwestern depression of the Qiongdongnan Basin, a giant fuzzy reflection zone (FRZ) was discovered, which is proposed to be a giant gas-charged zone with huge natural gas potential.

Seismically Imaged Crustal Breakup in the Southwest Taiwan Basin of the Northeastern South China Sea Margin

Changliang Chen et al.

Summary: The Southern Depression of the Southwest Taiwan Basin is a wide rift in the northeast South China Sea margin. The crustal thinning in this area is mainly accommodated by detachment faults. The depression shows enhanced extension towards the northeast, and a unique conch-shaped package is observed on the northeastern profile, possibly formed by mantle exhumation or volcanic eruption.

Seismic constraints on a remnant Mesozoic forearc basin in the northeastern South China Sea

Chaoyan Fan et al.

Summary: This study reveals the geophysical and structural features of the northeastern South China Sea (SCS) and suggests that the rollback of the Palaeo-Pacific subduction slab may be one of the causes for the forearc rifting and the initial extension of the SCS.

Dissociation of gas hydrates by hydrocarbon migration and accumulation-derived slope failures: An example from the South China Sea

Zhi-Feng Wan et al.

Summary: The mechanism of submarine slope failure associated with overpressure caused by hydrocarbon migration and accumulation was studied through high-resolution seismic data and gas hydrate drilling data. It was found that the overpressure may lead to complete decomposition of gas hydrates buried beneath sediments, causing a new cycle of failure. Additionally, seepage-derived deformation may trigger submarine slope failure and gas hydrate dissociation.

Paleo-oil reservoir pyrolysis and gas release in the Yangtze Block imply an alternative mechanism for the Late Permian Crisis

Chengyu Yang et al.

Summary: Volcanic activity was found to be a key factor in the Late Permian crisis, leading to the global mass extinction that occurred around the Permian-Triassic boundary. Through geochemical analysis of a paleo-oil reservoir in the Yangtze Block, researchers detected rapid pyrolysis of accumulated oil, resulting in the release of greenhouse gases. The study suggests that this thermal event was most likely triggered by the Emeishan Large Igneous Province (ELIP).

Analysis of the Thermogenic Gas Source of Natural Gas Hydrates Over the Dongsha Waters in the Northern South China Sea

Changmao Feng et al.

Summary: Gas hydrates were discovered in the Dongsha Waters of the South China Sea through drilling. The source of the hydrates is mainly thermogenic gas from the Mesozoic strata, which is concentrated in the areas with active Mesozoic faults. These areas are the main targets for future exploration of gas hydrates.

Oil-gas reservoir in the Mesozoic strata in the Chaoshan depression, northern South China Sea: a new insight from long offset seismic data

Tao Xing et al.

Summary: The Chaoshan depression in the Dongsha sea area of the northern South China Sea is characterized by well-preserved Mesozoic strata, promising good prospects for oil-gas exploration. New long-offset seismic data processing and integrated interpretation have provided a reliable basis for potential breakthroughs in oil and gas exploration in the Mesozoic strata.

High temperature methane emissions from Large Igneous Provinces as contributors to late Permian mass extinctions

Chengsheng Chen et al.

Summary: The emissions of methane induced by Large Igneous Provinces such as the Emeishan Large Igneous Province have been found to contribute to global warming and the end-Permian mass extinction. Similar emissions from the Siberian Traps Large Igneous Province may also have played a significant role in the end-Permian mass extinction.

Widespread hydrothermal vents and associated volcanism record prolonged Cenozoic magmatism in the South China Sea

Fang Zhao et al.

Summary: The continental margin of the northern South China Sea is a magma-poor rifted margin. Extensive magmatic processes have reshaped this margin, leading to the presence of hydrothermal vent complexes and magmatic edifices such as volcanoes, igneous sills, and lava flows. The occurrence of hydrothermal vents close to the seafloor, along with evidence of shallow igneous sills, suggests ongoing fluid seepage and post-rift magmatism possibly linked to a mantle plume effect.

Massive seafloor mounds depict potential for seafloor mineral deposits in the Great South Basin (GSB) offshore New Zealand

Omosanya Kamaldeen Olakunle et al.

Summary: Seafloor mounds in the Great South Basin offshore New Zealand are potentially hosting seafloor metalliferous deposits, with fluid plumbing systems related to past volcanic activities and multiple fluid sources. The mounds have primary volcanic or hydrothermal origins, with deeper coal beds and shallow foraminiferal oozes serving as secondary fluid sources, forming a main sub-vertical and minor lateral fluid plumbing patterns. The relationship between the mounds, escape pipes, intrusive rocks, and upward routing of mineral-rich fluids could be significant for the formation of ore-grade mineral deposits on the seafloor in the GSB.

Multi-beam and seismic investigations of the active Haima cold seeps, northwestern South China Sea

Bin Liu et al.

Summary: An integrated study of seabed fluid flow at the Haima cold seeps revealed the morphology of bubble plumes, gas migration pathways, and fracture networks, supporting the hydrate skin hypothesis and uncovering the dynamic process of gas seepage. Understanding the fluid migration and hydrate accumulation pattern can aid in further exploration and study of the dynamic gas hydrate system in the South China Sea.

Oceanic crustal structures and temporal variations of magmatic budget during seafloor spreading in the East Sub-basin of the South China Sea

Junhui Yu et al.

Summary: This study reveals the crustal structure variations in the East Sub-basin of the South China Sea, showing an increase in magmatic budget during early spreading stage and a decrease during late spreading stage. The findings suggest slow seafloor spreading during the last spreading stage and limited or negligible magma contribution from the Hainan mantle plume.
