Structural Characteristics Of Transtensional Fault System And Its Implication Forhydrocarbon Accumulation In S Block, South Asia Area, Yuwen Dong, Iftikhar Satti, Maman Hermana, Xu Chen

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

Transtensional faults are well developed in the S Block of the South Asia area, which have an important impact on the hydrocarbon accumulation. However, the transtensional fault structure is very complex. Based on drilling and seismic data interpretation results, faults are divided into three typical types in the Lower Cretaceous, which can help to understand the complex fault system. The main faults are distributed in the NNW-SSE direction and parallel arrangement with dextral strike-slip shear characteristics, which determines the development of the tectonic belt. The secondary faults are often associated with the main faults, often composed of multiple branch faults. …


Quantifying The Bathymetric Stripping Gravity Corrections Of Global Seawater And Majorlakes Over Turkey, Mehmet Si̇mav, Hasan Yildiz Jan 2021

Quantifying The Bathymetric Stripping Gravity Corrections Of Global Seawater And Majorlakes Over Turkey, Mehmet Si̇mav, Hasan Yildiz

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

Gravity data inversion or interpretation requires the removal of the gravitational effects of the a priori known geologic and/or morphologic features within the Earth?s system to model and reveal the remaining signals of the unknown anomalous subsurface density distributions. The Bouguer gravity anomalies reduced by the normal gravitational field of the Earth and the gravitational attraction of the topographic masses above the sea level are frequently used in geophysics for this purpose. However, density contrast effects of the other major known elements, such as offshore seawater, inland water bodies, glaciers, and/or sediments can be removed from the Bouguer gravity anomalies, …
