The Ordos Plateau, also known as the Ordos Basin or simply the Ordos, is a highland sedimentary basin in parts of most Northern China with an elevation of 1,000–1,600 m (3,300–5,200 ft), and consisting mostly of land enclosed by the Ordos Loop, a large northerly rectangular bend of the Yellow River.

Jan 26, 2025 · The Ordos Basin, located in northern China, is the second largest sedimentary basin of the country. The embryonic form of the basin basement was formed from early Archean (3.5 billion years) to late Archean (2.5 billion years) (Zhao et al., 2012).

The Ordos Basin refers to the second largest sedimentary basin in China, located in west-northern China. It is a significant center for hydrocarbon resources, including oil, natural gas, and coalbed methane.

Feb 11, 2025 · The Northwestern margin of Ordos Basin (NWOB), which contains the Helanshan Tectonic Belt (HTB) and Northwestern margin of Ordos Basin Thrust Belt (NWOBTB), is situated in the northwest of the North China Craton (NCC).

Jan 1, 2022 · The Ordos Basin, situated in the western part of the North China Block, has a long history that started in the Mesoproterozoic and extends to the Quaternary. It started as a marine basin, but was transformed into an intracratonic (largely lacustrine) basin when plates had collided during the Triassic.

The Ordos basin is the oldest and still an important hydrocarbon province in central China. It is a typical cratonic basin developed on the Archean granulites and lower Proterozoic greenschists of the North China block.

The Ordos Basin, China's second-largest sedimentary basin, covers an area of 370,000km2 across Shaanxi, Gansu and Shanxi provinces and Ningxia and Inner Mongolia autonomous regions in the mid-western region of the country. Mountains. These plains have flat terrain, easy access, and are rich in natural resources.

Jun 28, 2017 · There are four national-classenergy bases, e.g. northern Shaanxi energy basin, Inner Mongolia Ordos base, eastern Ningxia energy base, and Longdong base. And it is one of the most important bases for China’s energy and heavy chemical industries.

Jun 1, 1996 · Ordos basin lies in the north-central China, in a compression tectonic regime, with an area of approximately 250,000 km {sup 2}, including several pay zones ranging from Cambrian to Jurassic.

The Ordos block is an important active block in North China during the Cenozoic and modern tectonic activity. Based on a large amount of GPS observation data, an accurate and dense GPS velocity field of the Ordos block is calculated through frame transformation.
