Abstract:
An elucidation of the seismic sequence architecture and assessment of the various structural trapping features common in Northeastern Nigeria Chad Basin were carried out in this study. The Chad Basin has proven petroleum reserves in sectors of other bounding countries and not same in the Nigerian sector of it. The analysis and interpretation of the data set comprising seismic reflection time sections and well logs encompassed seismic stratigraphy, structural and log-sequence stratigraphy. This was aimed at establishing the sequence architecture and trapping mechanisms in relation to the petrol

Abstract:
Control of geological structures on the presence of dyke and sill intrusions in the Cilacap-Central Java area requires explanation. The research was conducted through a series of fieldwork. Field research is carried out by measuring geological structural elements such as rock layers, joints, faults and folds. Geological and cross-sectional maps provide information on the distribution of igneous rock intrusions in the study area. Fault analysis produces information on the stresses forming the geological structure in the study area. Thus the relationship between the distribution of igneous intru

Abstract:
Tabular, pod-shaped and irregular discordant metabasite bodies intruding the Archaean gneisses in the Umanak district constitute a series of tholeiitic layered intrusions. The magma evolution was controlled by fractional crystallisation of olivine and Cr-spinel in the initial stages, quickly superseded by pyroxenes. Fractional crystallisation of orthopyroxene was of major significance during most of the igneous evolution. Cumulus plagioclase came in relatively late. The metabasite bodies are remarkably well differentiated, and differentiation in a common magma reservoir prior to emplacement is

Abstract:
Igneous sills emplaced at shallow levels in sedimentary basins commonly uplift the overburden and free surface. Uplift produces dome-shaped forced folds that may host economic hydrocarbon accumulations. These intrusion-induced forced folds are typically assumed to develop instantaneously, whereby the oldest onlapping strata constrain the age of sill emplacement, and accommodate the entire volume of intruded magma. However, several studies demonstrate that forced folds may grow over geologic timescales, with additional space-making mechanisms (e.g., compaction) partly accommodating the magma vo

Abstract The Variscan structures of the Axial Zone of the Pyrenees are traditionally separated into the “infrastructure” and the “suprastructure” domains. Three deformation events have been recognized within Cambro-Ordovician rocks in the eastern part of the Pallaresa massif. D1 consists of a slaty cleavage (S1), and no folds have been found associated with it. The D2 event is characterized by E-W trending and north-verging recumbent folds with an associated foliation (S2) that can be observed at all scales. The S2 foliation has a horizontal orientation, and is the main foliation in the northe

Abstract:
The Honningsvåg Intrusive Suite consists of several layered mafic/ultramafic intrusions and a transgressive body of igneous breccia that appears to represent a magma conduit. It is emplaced into a Silurian, flysch-type sedimentary sequence that is thermally metamorphosed to spotted slate, cordierite–andalusite or pyroxene hornfels and agmatitic migmatite. Folds and flattened reduction spots in the hornfelses suggest that emplacement took place after Caledonian deformation and development of a slaty cleavage. Tectonic rotation subsequent to emplacement has led to exposure of the Honningsvåg Int

Sequential structural development has been established on the bases of refolding and cross-cutting relationships. U–Pb zircon and sphene isotopic data combined with structural studies indicate that the first six deformational phases took place in late Archaean (=Presvecokarelian) times. The sevent
