Abstract: The study on time-spatial developing features of co-existed inherited and neogenic structures might be a tangent in point of basin-orogeny coupling theory guiding oil-gas exploration,which was expounded from the three aspects: super-continental cycles,basin-making dynamics and petroliferous structural belts.The study emphasized to "get to the root" and "trace to the source",namely,to analyze the neogenic structure as well as influence of the basemental(or pre-existed) ones in each tectonic phase,so that the basin research was deepened into petroliferous structural belts in the basin,and the basin kenematics was made further advances on the basin dynamics.Based on two tendencies of neogenic structural evolution,three main target areas was pointed out for marine original oil-gas exploration,which marked the basin-orogeny coupling theory taking an important step to guide the(marine original) oil-gas exploration.To take the neogenic structural evolution as the key link,to synthesize the studies on source,migration,concentration and accumulation,and to draw lessons from recently new fruits of petroleum geology,the basin-orogeny coupling theory would be developed further and become one of the bringing forth new ideas for oil-gas exploration,specially for marine original oil-gas exploration.
