Abstract:ABSTRACT. Studies on evaporitic rocks are of great importance for the oil and gas industry as they can create traps and seals for the hydrocarbon accumulations. Also, salt high ductility allows the formation of complex structures associated with halokinesis posing thus major challenges for imaging the rocks at their flanks and below the structures. This paper discusses the effects of salt tectonics on post-salt layers and the difficulties in interpreting the top salt surface in a particularly complex area of t… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
