Intraplate structural deformation is diagnostic of tectonic stress regime changes linked to
plate interactions and can result from superposed tectonic events whose single contributions …

Exploration efforts around the Greater Caucasus region started towards the end of the 19th
century and established a wide range of petroleum play types in various basin segments …

In the broader Caucasus region, multiple extrusive volcanic units are present within the
Jurassic, Cretaceous, Eocene and Miocene sedimentary successions. Partial reworking of …

The Cenozoic succession in the Lower Kura Basin includes largely uniform, often carbonate-
