Analog, why LBD?Analog, why LBD?
Comparative analysis is the most popular way at the beginning
of studying a frontier area. 3 reasons exit, why Choosing the Lia
odong Bay Depression (LBD) as the analog to compare with KT
R.
Basin type is similar-riftShape is similar-stripeFramework of basin is similar-half grabens
Comparing the basin origin, the petroleum geology and accumul
ation process of KTR with LBD, may obtain several good advice
s and ideas for exploration in KTR.

The Basins TypeThe Basins Type
Kenya tertiary rift, is a new episode succeeded the Cretaceous-Paleogene one. This mainly N-S trending rifting phase has active since the Eocene and is responsible for the creation of a string of half graben sub-basins.
Liaodong Bay Depression sits astride the Tan-Lu fault system of eastern China, one of the world's largest strike-slip fault systems.

Lava and Seismic technologyLava and Seismic technology
At least two periods volcanics exist in KTR. They covered the dep
osits below them, brought the shielding effect on seismic profiles.
In KTR, the structural framework cannot be divided clearly, the lit
hofacies cannot be identified reliably, because of the shielding ef
fect.

Eliminating the shielding effect of lava, can obtain better sei
smic image. Thus the uncertainty and risk during explorati
on process can be decreased. So advanced seismic acqui
sition and processing technology is necessary.
Improve the reliability of sediment facies.
Study the framework of basin.
Improve the reliability of trap interpreted f
rom seismic datas.

CONCLUSIONCONCLUSION
Kenya tertiary rift is similar with Liaodong bay depression in basin type, shape and framework.
They are differences in structure evolution and some factors of petroleum geology.
Kenya tertiary rift have good source rocks.
The area of active source rocks and the preservation post oil charging are geological risks for exploration. The latter is the worst one.
The oil habitat of Liaodong bay depression is useful for Kenya tertiary rift during exploration activity. The first step is to identify the favorable generating grabens, then to find the favorable area having good preservation condition.
Improve the seismic quality can decrease the geological risks and costs.
