Location of largest earthquake slip and fast rupture controlled by along-strike change in fault structural maturity due to fault growth [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Earthquake slip distributions are asymmetric along strike, but the reasons for the asymmetry are unknown. We address this question by establishing empirical relations between earthquake slip profiles and fault properties.

Control of strike-slip faulting on reservoir formation of oil and gas in Nanpu sag

open access: yesPetroleum Exploration and Development, 2008
According to the data of seism, gravity, drilling etc, this article reexamines the Baigezhuang fracture and the Xi'nanzhuang fracture and analyzes the control of structural deformation on the hydrocarbon accumulation in the Nanpu sag. The Baigezhuang and

Using historical aerial images to accurately locate the urban "invisible" active faults: A case study of the Shuiyu fault of the Datong Basin in Shanxi province

open access: yesDizhi lixue xuebao, 2021
Active fault is a major risk source of urban earthquake disaster. Accurately identifying the spatial geometry distribution features of active fault is the basis for urban seismic risk migration.

Buried shallow fault slip from the South Napa earthquake revealed by near-field geodesy. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Earthquake-related fault slip in the upper hundreds of meters of Earths surface has remained largely unstudied because of challenges measuring deformation in the near field of a fault rupture.

Deformation due to the 17 August 1999 Izmit, Turkey, earthquake measured from SPOT images [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The geometry of the ruptured areas and the coseismic slip distribution data are key to highlighting the behavior of seismic faults. This information is generally retrieved from field investigations and geodetic measurements or synthetic aperture radar ...

Investigating the Deformation and Failure Mechanism of a Submarine Tunnel with Flexible Joints Subjected to Strike-Slip Faults

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021
Knowledge from historical earthquake events indicates that a submarine tunnel crossing active strike-slip faults is prone to be damaged in an earthquake. Previous studies have demonstrated that the flexible joints are an effective measure for a submarine

Sinistral strike slip of the Zhangjiakou-Penglai Fault and its control on hydrocarbon accumulation in the northeast of Shaleitian Bulge, Bohai Bay Basin, East China

open access: yesPetroleum Exploration and Development, 2018
The structural style, fault activity, strike-slip displacement, and the formation mechanism and hydrocarbon migration and accumulation in the center tectonic zone in the northeast Shaleitian Bulge of Zhangjiakou-Penglai Fault Zone were studied by seismic

Interseismic strain accumulation: Spin-up, cycle invariance, and irregular rupture sequences [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Using models of infinite length strike-slip faults in an elastic layer above linear viscoelastic regions, we investigate interseismic deformation. In the models we investigate, interseismic strain accumulation on mature faults is the result of the ...

Strike-slip deformations in the West Siberian Basin and their impact on exploration and development of oil and gas reservoirs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Extensive 3D seismic exploration has revealed in much of the West Siberian petroliferous basin area a special type of faults and deformations within the sedimentary cover, caused by low-separation basement strike-slip faults.

Strike-slip superimposed Qaidam Basin and its control on oil and gas accumulation, NW China

open access: yesPetroleum Exploration and Development, 2015
Based on detailed field survey in the western Qaidam Basin, combined with petroleum exploration practices in recent years, this study suggests that the Qaidam Basin is a strike-slip superimposed basin jointly controlled by the left-lateral strike-slip ...
