Basic description of structural styles in rift and passive margin settings, including extension directions and key structural elements -- Mechanics of rifting and transition to drift phases -- Determination of unstretched continental, thinned continental, proto-oceanic, and oceanic crustal boundaries -- Determination of timing of rift and continental breakup events -- The role of lithospheric composition and compositional variations in evolving rift margin architectural development and in breakup locations -- The role of preexisting anisotropy in structural styles in rifts and passive margins -- The role of syn-extensional deposition and erosion in evolving structural styles of rifts and passive margins and the effects of tectonic on deposition and erosional patterns -- Fluid flow systems associated with oceanic hot spots, oceanic transforms, continental transforms, and rifts -- The role of pre-rift heat flow in thermal regimes of rifts and passive margins -- The role of structural and stratigraphic architecture in thermal regimes of rifts and passive margins -- The role of syn-rift deposition and erosion in thermal regimes of rifts and passive margins -- The role of deformation in thermal regimes of rifts and passive margins -- The role of fluid flow in thermal regimes of rifts and passive margins -- Introduction to hydrocarbons in rift and passive margin settings -- Models of source rock distribution, maturation, and expulsion in rift and passive margin settings -- Models of reservoir quality distribution -- Sealing characteristics -- Models of hydrocarbon migration -- Trapping styles -- Hydrocarbon perservation. |
| Summary |
This is a comprehensive synthesis of state-of-the-art information on vitally important hydrocarbon habitats for advanced geology students and researchers, exploration geoscientists, and petroleum managers. |
