The Yitong Basin is an oilbearing basin with unique characteristics in Northeast China. On the basis of apatite fission track ages and geological relationship, the tectonic uplift history of the Yitong Basin since the Oligo-cene was discussed. Based on apatite fission track analysis of five samples from the Luxiang and Chaluhe fault depressions and basin modeling study, it can be concluded that since the Oligocene (36.6 Ma) in the Yitong Basin, the Chaluhe fault depression has undergone two episodes of uplift during 24.9-19.1 Ma and 6.9-4.9 Ma. And the Luxiang fault depression also had undergone two episodes of uplift during 30-27.8 Ma and 22.6-11.1 Ma. Moreover, the average apparent exhumation rates for the Chaluhe fault depression and Luxiang fault depression, could be calculated to be 70.34 and 60.33 m/Ma since 21.8 Ma and 18.9 Ma, respectively. The results of thermochronological analysis can also be supported by the evidence from geological relationships such as geodynamics, volcanic activity, and stratigraphic division and correlation.
The Yitong（伊通） basin is a Late Mesozoic and Cenozoic continental sedimentary basin in Northeast China.On the basis of well tests and seismic data,we use the 2D modeling technique to rebuild the pressure evolution and hydrocarbon migration in the Moliqing（莫里青） fault depression of the Yitong basin.Based on the modeling results,four conclusions are drawn as follows.（1） The Eocene Shuangyang（双阳） Formation within the Moliqing fault depression had entirely undergone three epi-sodic cycles of pressure accumulation and release in geological history,and the three tectonic move-ments since the Middle Eocene played important roles in the episodic changes of excess pressure.（2） The present formation pressure distribution is characterized by normal pressure in almost the entire fault depression with some residual overpressure.The differential distribution of pressure results mainly from the difference in rock facies,sedimentation rate,hydrocarbon generation,and fault activi-ties.（3） The hydrocarbon migration is more active during the release of pressure in the Moliqing fault depression,which happened mainly in the Middle-Late Oligocene and provided the driving force for hydrocarbon migration.（4） The hydrocarbon migration was mostly directed to the Shuangyang For-mation within the Jianshan（尖山） uplift and the Kaoshan（靠山） sag.With the superior condition ofhydrocarbon accumulation and the higher de-gree of hydrocarbon concentration,the north-west part of Kaoshan sag is considered a favor-able area for oil and gas exploration in the Moliqing fault depression.
According to the theory of petroleum system and the characteristics of petroleum geology, the Xihu depression in the East China Sea shelf basin is divided into four petroleum systems: the Pinghu Formation as source rock and the Huagang Formation as reservoir rock, the Huagang Formation as source rock and reservoir rock, the Paleocene as source rock and the burial-hill as reservoir rock, and the Miocene as source rock and reservoir rock. The system with the Pinghu Formation as source rock and the Huagang Formation as reservoir rock is the most important one in the depression, which has high hydrocarbon generation and accumulation efficiency and is the most important object to hydrocarbon exploration at present.
