砂岩侵入、泥火山系统和麻点等流体流动特征代表了由于地下流体流动而产生的众所周知的地质结构。然而，定量和定性盆地分析中流体流动特征的整合仍处于起步阶段。本研究基于六个案例研究的结果，对丹麦北海地区和安哥拉近海盐微型盆地的盆地分析中的流体流动特征进行了回顾和定性整合，重点关注这些区域中与集中流体流动相关的特征的检测、绘图和评估。在这项研究中，回顾了碳氢化合物管道系统中地震成像流体流动特征的多样性，并论证了它们的实用性。这是通过关注可以整合到盆地分析研究中的流体流动相关特征的方面以及这些特征如何帮助我们增加对盆地演化的理解并实现盆地分析的主要目标（例如了解盆地的沉积和构造背景以及碳氢化合物的存在和范围）来完成的。特别是在确定流体流动时间、触发因素、来源和路线方面，流体流动特征是盆地分析中一个主要但未得到充分利用的工具。 (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. 保留所有权利。
Fluid flow features such as sandstone intrusions, mud volcano systems and pockmarks represent well-known geological structures generated due to flow of fluids in the subsurface. However, the integration of fluid flow features in quantitative and qualitative basin analysis is still in its infancy. This study presents a review and a qualitative integration of fluid flow features in basin analysis of the Danish North Sea area and of salt mini-basins offshore Angola, based on results from six case studies focusing on the detection, mapping and evaluation of features related to focused fluid flow in these areas. In the study the diversity of seismically imaged fluid flow features in hydrocarbon plumbing systems is reviewed and their utility is demonstrated. This is done by focusing on the aspects of fluid flow related features that can be integrated into basin analysis studies and how these may help us increase the understanding of basin evolution and to achieve the major goals of basin analysis such as understanding the depositional and tectonic context of the basin and the presence and extent of hydrocarbons. Particularly concerning the determination of fluid flow timing, triggers, sources, and routes, fluid flow features represent a major but underused tool in basin analysis. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V.
