Principles of Shortening in Salt Basins Containing Isolated Minibasins
Basin Research, 2021 Shortening styles in salt-influenced basins can vary markedly, with the volume and distribution of salt prior to shortening being a key control. Here we use a suite of physical models to examine styles of thin-skinned regional shortening in settings where the pre-shortening structure comprised minibasins surrounded by salt (‘isolated-minibasin ...

Minibasin depocentre migration during diachronous salt welding, offshore Angola [PDF]
Basin Research, 2019 Abstract Salt tectonics is an important part of the geological evolution of many continental margins, yet the four‐dimensional evolution of the minibasins, the fundamental building block of these and many other salt basins, remains poorly understood.

Marine and Petroleum Geology, 2021 Abstract Recent subsurface studies show that mass-transport deposits (MTDs) in salt-controlled basins may correspond to local or regional bodies induced by either regional tectonics, or diapir growth. These MTDs are commonly considered as muddy bodies but they may alternatively incorporate a high amount of clasts and reworked beds with good reservoir

The Stratigraphic Record of Minibasin Subsidence, Precaspian Basin, Kazakhstan
Basin Research, 2019 AbstractMinibasins are fundamental components of many salt‐bearing sedimentary basins, where they may host large volumes of hydrocarbons. Although we understand the basic mechanics governing their subsidence, we know surprisingly little of how minibasins subside in three‐dimensions over geological timescales, or what controls such variability.

Three-dimensional evolution of salt-controlled minibasins: Interactions, folding and megaflap development [PDF]
AAPG Bulletin, 2016 A megaflap, or an overturned, folded, sedimentary-basin edge, is a classic feature of salt-controlled basins, formed during the inception of salt allochthony. To illustrate the relative importance of the balance between salt and sediment inputs, basin rheology, and tectonism resulting from basin interactions in the development of megaflaps, a set of ...
