The structure and fault activity of the Makran accretionary prism [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research, 2012 The Makran Subduction Zone has the highest incoming sediment thickness (up to 7.5 km) of any subduction zone. These sediments have formed a wide accretionary prism (∼400 km). Seismicity in the Makran is generally low; however the margin experienced an Mw 8.1 earthquake in 1945 which generated a significant regional tsunami.

Viscous Accretionary Prisms: Viscoelastic Relaxation of the Makran Accretionary Prism Following the 2013 Baluchistan, Pakistan Earthquake [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2018 AbstractGeodetic observations of postseismic transients following earthquakes commonly help to inform the rheology of the lower crust and mantle, frictional properties of faults, and the kinematics of deformation across the earthquake cycle. Here we use interferometric synthetic aperture radar time series observations of postseismic deformation ...

Drilling the Un Drillable: A Case Study of the Bela Well in Makran Accretionary Prism
SPE/IADC Middle East Drilling Technology Conference and Exhibition, 2021Abstract The Bela Well is situated on Makran accretionary prism with several active mud volcanoes that makes conventional drilling challenging due to the extremely high pore pressure i.e. in excess of 15,000 psi and a very narrow window between pore pressure and fracture pressure. This adverse condition was observed in the 9 offset wells

Morphotectonics domains and structural styles in the Makran accretionary prism, offshore Iran
Sedimentary Geology, 2007Abstract The Makran accretionary prism is regarded as one of the most extensive subduction complex on Earth. It provides an ideal example of accretionary prism to study processes related to subduction at plate boundaries such as frontal accretion and underplating.

Large-scale sediment underplating in the Makran accretionary prism, southwest Pakistan
Geology, 1985Field relations in the emergent part of the Makran accretionary prism show that a mid-Miocene to early Pliocene slope and shelf sedimentary sequence was deposited directly on abyssal-plain turbidites without any detectable stratigraphic or structural discordance.

Sediment compaction and fluid migration in the Makran Accretionary Prism
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 1989The Makran continental margin in the Gulf of Oman forms the seaward extremity of an accretionary sediment prism which extends several hundred kilometers inland. A recently acquired multichannel seismic reflection profile shot across the margin imaged the structure of the prism in greater detail than was previously possible and allowed us to investigate

Sediment dewatering in the Makran accretionary prism
Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 1985Abstract Sediments within the Makran accretionary prism are considerably more compacted than the material entering the subduction zone due to the additional tectonic stresses resulting from plate convergence and accretionary processes. Tectonic compaction of the offscraped sediments has been documented by deriving in-situ porosities in the upper 4 km

Reflection Termination Patterns in Piggyback Basins of the Makran Accretionary Prism
69th EAGE Conference and Exhibition incorporating SPE EUROPEC 2007, 2007P244 Reflection Termination Patterns in Piggyback Basins of the Makran Accretionary Prism R.A. Castilla* (IFP) N. Ellouz (IFP) & J.P. Brun (Geosciences Rennes Universite de Rennes 1) SUMMARY Thrusts activation and time span of activity is of capital importance for the history of fluid flow in thrust belts and accretionary prisms.

Energy Exploration and Exploitation, 2014 The method of amplitude-variation-with-angle (AVA) inversion was applied to estimate hydrate and gas saturations along bottom simulating reflector (BSR) at the Makran Accretionary Prism, Iran. Two AVA approximations were used to calculate their corresponding AVA attributes were compared to each other.
