The Study of the Thrust Fault

Advanced Materials Research, 2014
The thrust fault plays an important role in the migration of oil and gas, etc. It can either block the oil and gas lateral migration, or become a good migration pathway. In order to have a more intuitive observation on forming process and study on the vital influential factors of it, the thick and extrusion stress of layers, such as laboratory with ...

Thrust Faults of Ventura Basin: ABSTRACT

AAPG Bulletin, 1953
When examining the over-all picture of the Ventura basin, one is impressed by the number of large thrust faults which occur. These east-west faults are among the most predominant structural features of the area. Much of the present topography is controlled by these faults. There is good evidence that much of the movement of these faults occurred during

Thrust faults in inverted extensional basins

1992
Thrust faults in inverted extensional basins may not exhibit the simple low-angle, ramp-flat thrust trajectories that are characteristic of many foreland fold and thrust belts, but are expected to show more complex geometries controlled by the architecture of the earlier extensional fault system.

Earth Tides Can Trigger Shallow Thrust Fault Earthquakes

Science, 2004
We show a correlation between the occurrence of shallow thrust earthquakes and the occurrence of the strongest tides. The rate of earthquakes varies from the background rate by a factor of 3 with the tidal stress. The highest correlation is found when we assume a coefficient of friction of μ = 0.4 for the crust, although we see good correlation for μ ...

Sierra Madre thrust fault, Arcadia, California

1987
Abstract One of the best exposures of the Sierra Madre thrust fault can be seen in the west wall of Santa Anita Canyon in Wilderness Park, city of Arcadia, 15 mi (25 km) northeast of downtown Los Angeles. Figure 1 shows how one can drive to the fault exposure by turning left into the first available parking area in Wilderness Park.

Thrust Faulting and Hydrocarbon Generation: DISCUSSION

AAPG Bulletin, 1987
Following the discovery of large volumes of hydrocarbons in the Cordilleran thrust belt of southwestern Wyoming and northern Utah, Angevine and Turcotte (1983), Edman and Surdam (1984), and Furlong and Edman (1984) discussed the role of thrust faulting in hydrocarbon generation.

Thrust Faulting and Hydrocarbon Generation: REPLY

AAPG Bulletin, 1987
This paper is a rebuttal of an earlier paper trying to refute the claims of these authors. They believe this reply illustrates that the simplifications used by Warner and Royse (1987) in their model are generally inappropriate to describe the thermal history of units in the Western Overthrust belt, as well as other overthrust regions.

Thrust Faulting in Arbuckle Mountains, Oklahoma

AAPG Bulletin, 1945
There are thirteen erratic masses superimposed on Simpson strata ranging in age from the Oil Creek formation to the Bromide formation south of the city of Sulphur, Murray County, Oklahoma. The rocks of the erratic masses range in age from the McLish formation to the Trenton formation. Their occurrence has not been previously recognized.

Fabric of Quartzites near Thrust Faults

The Journal of Geology, 1952
Near east-dipping thrust faults in the Green Mountains and Berkshire Hills, New England, quartzites exhibit westward overturned folds with subhorizontal axes, and an axial-plane cleavage dips east. Close to a thrust fault the cleavage becomes so intense that it obscures the limbs of folds.
