About this Item

The outer parts of collision mountain belts are commonly represented by fold and thrust belts. Major advances in understanding these tectonic settings have arisen from regional studies that integrate diverse geological information in quests to find and produce hydrocarbons. Drilling has provided tests of subsurface forecasts, challenging interpretation strategies and structural models. This volume contains 19 papers that illustrate a diversity of methods and approaches together with case studies from Europe, the Middle East and the Asia-Pacific region. Collectively they show that appreciating diversity is key for developing better interpretations of complex geological structures in the subsurface endeavours that span applications beyond the development of hydrocarbons.

About this title

Synopsis

Fold and thrust belts represent some of the planets most complex geological environments, yet at the same time they contain some of the world s largest remaining hydrocarbon reserves. This volume brings together leading academic and industry geoscientists to present new techniques and case studies, and to capture an up-to-date assessment of our understanding of fold and thrust belts globally.
