Description

Special Publication 490

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.


Front cover image: The Alpine mountain front in the northern Vercors district of SE France. Thought to be a once functioning hydrocarbon system, the visible hillside contains thrust-repetitions of Cretaceous platform carbonates that over-ride Miocene syn-orogenic deposits, influenced by earlier rift faults.
