PALEOSTRESS IN NORTHERN TARIM OIL FIELD ESTIMATED BY AE

After a feasibility study of the application of AE method to the measurement of paleostress emphasis is placed on the discussion of the methods used in paleostress measurements and current stress measurements by AE in the paper.
Paleostress measurements by AE in Northern Tarim Oil Field show two-episodes of tectonic movements in the Himalayan movement three in the Yanshannian movement, and that the Himalayan was the most dominant.
