Abstract: The south of Bohai Sea has complex fault systems for multi-stage structure movement. Based on the distribution and evolution of faults, the relationship between fault and hydrocarbon accumulation in southern Bohai Sea was discussed. The result showed that strike-slip of the early Oligocene controlled the subsidence center in southern Bohai Sea and changed east-west trend extension structure frame of the Eocene. The strike-slip movement from late Oligocene to Quaternary formed the traps of Neocene. To date, oil and gas fields concentrated in the north-east trend structure. In future, east-west trend extension traps of the Eocene should be important exploration targets, which have favorable conditions for hydrocarbon accumulation as near-source and inheritance structure

Key words: south of Bohai Sea, Tanlu strike-slip, fault system, hydrocarbon accumulation
