Fault displacement gradients on normal faults and associated deformation

AAPG Bulletin, 2014
Faults are important components of hydrocarbon and other reservoirs; they can affect trapping of fluids, flow pathways, compartmentalization, production rates, and through these, production strategies and economic outcomes. Displacement gradients on faults are associated with off-fault deformation, which can be manifest as faulting, extension ...

flexural rotation of normal faults

Tectonics, 1988
A conceptual model is proposed for the generation of low‐angle normal faults in Metamorphic Core Complexes. The model is based on three assumptions: (1) the isostatic response to normal fault motion is of regional extent; (2) when a fault segment is significantly rotated from the optimum angle of slip, relative to the crustal stress field, it is ...

Overlapping Faults, Intrabasin Highs, and the Growth of Normal Faults

The Journal of Geology, 1994
Normal fault systems bounding extensional basins are typically adjoined by a series of subbasins separated by intrabasin highs. The strata within these basins form syndepositional anticlines and synclines whose axes are transverse to the strike of the main bounding fault.

Normal Fault Structures and Others

AAPG Bulletin, 1946
This paper emphasizes the importance of shearing as a kind of deformation which is often confused with folding. It presents a type of normal faulting as a mountain-making effect due to uplift against gravity. The structure of the Colorado plateaus is taken as the type. Basin-range faulting is regarded as closely similar.

The Mahelma Fault: An Inverted Normal Fault Of Mitidja Basin?

Proceedings, 2017
Summary This presentation reviews the new data; from both geophysical and geological investigations, carried out through the Sidi-Abdellah microzoning project. As a whole, data indicate that the Mahelma Fault would be an earlier normal fault of the Mitidja basin.

Fluid involvement in normal faulting

Journal of Geodynamics, 2000
Evidence of fluid interaction with normal faults comes from their varied role as flow barriers or conduits in hydrocarbon basins and as hosting structures for hydrothermal mineralisation, and from fault-rock assemblages in exhumed footwalls of steep active normal faults and metamorphic core complexes.

Normal fault geometry and fault reactivation in tectonic inversion experiments

Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 1991
Abstract Scaled physical models of extensional structures associated with fault reactivation were achieved in sand by superimposing extensional tectonics on thrust faults created during prior episodes of horizontal shortening. The extension produced three distinct responses: selective reactivation of pre-existing thrusts, favouring the ...
