“…Franke et al, 2008;Morley, 2009;Hesse et al, 2009Hesse et al, , 2010King et al, 2010;Sapin et al, 2011], more to the south the resolution of the published seismic images is insucient to decipher the sequence of faults activities, in both extensional and compressional regions [Hesse et al, 2009;King et al, 2010;Sapin et al, 2011]. Without further geophysical and geological information, it is dicult to discriminate one among the dierent possible model of structural development, which lead to poorly constrain the burial, temperature and stress/strain history of each structural block [Sassi et al, 2007;Smart et al, 2012;Albertz & Sanz, 2012;Albertz & Lingrey, 2012; Berthelon & Sassi, 2016]. Ultimately, it leads to uncertainties in petroleum system modelling, seals integrity analysis, pore pressure prediction and stress regime estimation, both because state-of-the-art basin modelling software use prescribed geometries at specic geological times that need prior structural validation [Neumaier et al, 2014;Faille et al, 2014;Thibaut et al, 2014; Burgreen-Chan et al, 2016], and because 2-D/3-D fully coupled hydromechanical numerical simulations are still unable to reproduce complex 2D/3D structural geometries [e.g.…”
