Based on the analysis of growth index, fault throw and fault activity rate, we find the method of fault activity rate integrates advantages of other methods which avoids the influence of erosion and could carry out comparison among fault activities of different geological times. We optimize the method of fault activity rate to analyze the characteristics of fault activities in Linnan area and the results show: the main direction of the faults in Linnan area is nearly NEE-trending and most of the faults have two larger activity periods. It acts intensively in the period of Es2 and Ed and weakens in the period of Es1 and Ng. There is a small comeback in the period of Nm at last. We conduct the force analysis of this area based on stress ellipsoid and find that the stress state agrees well with the regional geological background. The evolution of faults is impacted by the subduction of the Pacific plate and the compression of the Indian Ocean plate.

A geochemical investigation was carried out on 32 crude oil samples to investigate the origin of the oil and to trace the migration direction in the Linyi fault area, Huimin Depression, Bohai Bay Basin, China. The oils, which were characterized by low gammacerane content and a dominance of C27 over C29 regular steranes, originated from the source rock of the third member of the Shahejie Formation (Es3) in the Linnan Sag. A sequential charge of low- and high-maturity oils from the Es3 source rocks resulted in a decrease in oil maturity in the migration direction. The petroleum migration direction in the footwall of the Linyi fault was northward, away from the fault, and the migration direction at the southwest end (in the hanging wall) of the Linyi fault was westward, along the fault, as evidenced by lateral gradients of biomarker parameters of various maturity, density, and viscosity.

Clarification of the source of the Eocene sediments filling the Huimin depression provides significant support for current and future oil and gas exploration in the Bohai Bay Basin, China. A comprehensive assessment of sediment provenance based on sandstone petrography, heavy mineral assemblages, seismic reflection data, and distribution of sandstone bodies of the Shahejie Formation (Es2) to the Dongying Formation (Ed) productive interval based on both its macroscopic and microscopic provenance aspects. This method of analysis has the advantages of easy data acquisition, high accuracy, strong flexibility, wide application range, and making the analysis of sedimentary provenances more systematic. Comprehensive analysis of the Huimin depression, Bohai Bay Basin has revealed further that the origin of the Eocene second member of the Shahejie Formation (Es2) to the Dongying Formation (Ed) provenance system was derived from the Linfanjia high, the Chengning uplift, and the Luxi uplift.
