Recognition of fault bend fold, detachment and decapitation has been possible despite the poor quality of the seismic. That was successful because of: A full integration of all disciplines including reservoir engineering petrophysics and geochemistry Vizualization in 3-D that made all members of the team speak the same language
We will now approach the function A(a) from an entirely different point of view, i.e.,we will interpret the S-fabric in terms of strain1. (1.) We assume that the initial fabric is defined by a random orientation of surface, i.e.,that the ODF of the surface is uniform;
STRIKE - The direction of the line formed by the intersection of a horizontal plane with a bedding or fault plane. DIP - The angle formed by the intersection of a bedding or fault plane and the horizontal plane. The angle is measured in a vertical plane perpendicular to the strike
Structural Geology- Introduction Introduction Structural geology is the study of deformed rocks, and rock deformation. In structural geology, we are faced with a series of natural features that we try to interpret and explain. Each of these features formed through the interplay of external forces on rock materials, and the \local \conditions at the time of deformation. To interpret structures in the natural setting we need to
