Growth and linkage of a segmented normal fault zone; the Late Jurassic Murchison–Statfjord North Fault, northern North Sea

Influence of fault reactivation during multiphase rifting: the Oseberg area, Northern North Sea rift

Changes in fault length distributions due to fault linkage

“…In general, there are three stages for fault linkage: isolated fault stage, soft linkage stage, and hard linkage stage (e.g., Peacock and Sanderson, 1991;Cartwright et al, 1995;Young et al, 2001). The soft linkage stage can be divided into two sub-stages: stage of formation of breaching faults and stage of the breached relay ramp (e.g., Peacock and Parfitt, 2002;Hus et al, 2006).…”
