    Abstract
  • The development characteristics of the carbonate platform and its tectonic controls in the southeast of South China Sea margin are still in debate. Based on wells, dragnets, and large number of 2D seismic data, we interpreted structural and stratigraphic data of the seismic profiles and described the development characteristics and temporal and spatial distribution of carbonate platform. Then the tectonic deformation, subsidence history, and fault activity with the developments of different carbonate platforms were analyzed. The results show that the large-scale contiguous Nido carbonate platform is mainly developed on the tectonic high points of the tilting fault block and the tectonic front uplift, distributed in the northeast to southwest of the study area. Bounded by the Ulugan fault, the Nido platform in the northeast is northwest trending, which is mainly controlled by factors such as the height of the tilting fault block formed by the extensional fault depression, the weak tectonic activity in the expansion stage, and the lack of sediments supply. The Nido platform in the southwest of the Ulugan fault trends to southeast, and it is mainly the structural high point formed by the extensional fault depression in the Late Oligocene, and the relative uplift caused by the flexural forebulge in the Late Oligocene-Early Miocene is related to the migration of the pre-tectonic uplift and sea level changes. The main development period of the carbonate platform coincides with the expansion time of the seafloor and has obvious banding. This feature is related to the pre-existing tectonic background and evolution process at different tectonic locations, reflecting the diachronous breakup of the South China Sea and discordant subduction-collision process.
