The geologic setting for two giant fields of Sakhalin Island. The basins are: North Sakhalin, East Sakhalin, West Sakhalin, Tatar Strait, Kurile (partial, bottom right), Central and South Okhotsk (right), Sea of Okhotsk (right) and Tempoku (bottom). Basin type most responsibile for giants classified here as right-lateral strike-slip motion between the North American and Eurasian plates. Age of orogenic belts: purple (PM) = Pennsylvanian to Lower Triassic; green (M2) = Upper Jurassic to Upper Cretaceous.
