Improvements in seismic imaging, computing capabilities, and analytical methods, as well
as a number of industry deep-water wells sampling distal offshore settings, have …

This article points out for the first time a striking correlation between the paleogeography of
Upper Triassic deposits and the mode of crustal stretching around and inside the Northern …

Cretaceous aged salt and salt-free basins along the continental margins of Brazil and
Angola/Namibia exhibit a rather heterogeneous geometry and basin fill which implies a …

We present an updated, internally consistent synthesis of the Permo-Triassic assembly and
Mesozoic evolution of the Gulf of Mexico, Mexico, Florida–Bahamas and northern South …

Halokinetic deformations synchronous with salt deposition are processes already suggested
in several salt giants including the Lower Cretaceous salt deposits of the Santos Basin in …

Layered evaporite sequences (LESs) comprise interbedded weak layers (halite and,
commonly, bittern salts) and strong layers (anhydrite and usually non-evaporite rocks such …

The discovery and production, by Petrobras, of over 50 billion barrels in place of pre-salt oil
in Brazil's offshore South Atlantic Santos and Campos basins has drawn worldwide attention …

Inverted structures provide traps for petroleum exploration, typically four-way structural
closures. As to the degree of inversion, based on a large number of worldwide examples …

The central part of the Zagros Fold-Thrust Belt is characterized by a series of right-lateral
and left-lateral transverse tear fault systems, some of them being ornamented by salt diapirs …

Analog modeling is used to study the role played by the inherited salt‐sediment architecture
of a salt‐bearing rifted margin, developed by minibasin downbuilding and margin‐scale …
