Abstract Most of the information on subsurface evaporitic structures comes from 3D seismic data. However, this data only provide limited about internal structure evaporites, which is known salt mines and diapir outcrops. Brittle intra-salt layers (carbonate, anhydrite, clay) at least 10 m thickness form good reflectors in but dynamics such ‘stringers’ movement are poorly understood. In study, we investigate Zechstein 3 (Z3) stringer an area offshore Netherlands. Observations show complex...

ABSTRACT A 3-D basin model of the southern Mesopotamian Basin, Iraq, was built in order to quantify key aspects petroleum system. The is based on detailed seismic interpretation and organic geochemical data, both for source rocks oils. Bulk kinetic analysis three rock samples used generation characteristics estimate temperature timing generation. These analyses indicate that from Yamama (one main study area) starts at relatively low temperatures 70–80°C, which typical Type II-S kerogen...

The late Permian Zechstein evaporites in the northern Netherlands were exceptionally well imaged [Formula: see text] of prestack depth migration 3D seismic data. Seismic reflections a 30–150-m-thick 3 anhydrite-carbonate stringer, which was encased thick layers rock salt, provided an unparalleled, basin-scale view internal structure giant salt basin. data used to map regional variation intrasalt stringer analyze its role deformation styles and flow as interaction with sub- suprasalt...

It has been shown that submarine landslides can occur less frequently at subduction zone fore arcs despite the general expectation of extensive slope failures from high neotectonic activity in active margin settings. The Hellenic zone, Greece, represents an example where modern evidence for failure is scarce. Taking deeper parts fore‐arc basin into account, however, a sequence massive landslide deposits found recurrence intervals approximately 250 ± 70 ka. Given seismicity area, this rate...

Abstract The Austral Basin (or Magallanes Basin) in southern Argentina is situated a highly active tectonic zone. openings of the South Atlantic and Drake Passage to east south, subduction west, related rise Andes have massively influenced evolution this area. To better understand impacts these events on basin formation its present‐day structure we analysed 2D seismic reflection data covering about 95 000 km² on‐ 115 offshore (Austral ‘Marina’ Malvinas Basin). A total 10 horizons,...

Abstract. The growth of salt structures is controlled by the low flow strength evaporites and tectonic boundary conditions. potassium-magnesium salts (K-Mg salts) carnallite bischofite are prime examples layers with much lower effective viscosity than halite: their presents serious drilling hazards but also allows squeeze solution mining. In contrast, intrasalt anhydrite carbonate (stringers) stronger halite. These rheological contrasts within an evaporite body have important control on...

Approximately 75% primary is still produced by burning fossil fuels, leading high greenhouse gas emissions in sector. Therefore, policymakers increasingly strive trigger investments sustainable low-emission systems.

Abstract A field of giant pockmarks was discovered at the base Upper Cretaceous Chalk unit in westernmost Lower Saxony Basin The Netherlands. 3D seismic and well data show that mostly circular, 300–850 m-wide 10–50 m-deep, formed top Holland Marl Formation, which overlies oil- gas-filled sandstone reservoirs vicinity study area. Based on our interpretations, we present a scenario early gas generation Carboniferous coals localized migration from its original subsalt through salt weld...

Abstract. At the first order salt structures are controlled by low flow strength of evaporites and tectonic boundary conditions. Rheological contrasts within an evaporite body have important effect on evolution internal structure salt, but how this mechanical layering affects deformation at different scales is not well known. The potassium–magnesium salts (K-Mg salts) carnallite bischofite prime examples layers with much lower effective viscosity than rock salt: their presents serious...
