Structural Styles of Compression and Transpression Structures

Ref : O&G_GG_07
DURATION :
05 DAYS

Objectives

  • Distinguish the characteristics of compressive Deformation and Trans-pression including surface and deep Styles.
  • Identify the Inversion Structures Characteristics
  • Use the deep zone relationship to validate sections and predict substructures
  • Apply the mechanical-stratigraphic principles predict the formation and the evolution of transpressional Structures.
  • Apply the techniques of restoration and balancing.
  • Predict structural geometry using kinematic models.
  • Identify typical geometries of compression and transpression.

Public

To the geological and geophysicist Engineers and the managers responsible for the interpretation of compressive and transgressive structures drilling.

Teaching

Presentations & debate: theoretical and methodological content followed by interactive and participatory methods such as projections, exercises and slideshows.
