Abstract: The growth formations and growth triangles widely developed in Kuche foreland overthrust belt. Typical growth formations and growth triangles are identified from surface outcrop and seismic profiles. They could be used to determine the initial time of tectonic event, and consequently to analyze the structural evolution history and the relation- ship between the structures and oil-gas expelling periods. It is considered that the Kelasu structure belt will be a favorable oil-and gas-bearing belt.

Key words: Tarim basin, Kuche depression, foreland basin, thrust belt, syngenetic fault, triangle, reservoir formation
