Basin evolution models are dependent on high-quality subsurface data, normally obtained during hydrocarbon exploration activities. The limited exploration, to-date, has impeded the understanding of the geological evolution of the offshore Algoa and Gamtoos half-graben basins in the southern Cape region of South Africa. To reconstruct the main geolo...

The study area is in the northern part of the Western Desert of Iraq. From the conclusion of Paleozoic and Mesozoic basins and their distribution according to the available geological (outcrops and boreholes) and geophysical data (seismic, gravity and magnetic interpretations controlled by geological data), it is found that, Triassic- Jurassic (and...
The Zhouchang area, where the oil is mainly accumulated in Mesozoic sandstone reservoirs, is located in the Ordos Basin, China. Paleogeomorphology plays an important role in the oil accumulation of the Jurassic Yan'an Formation. Previous studies on paleogeomorphology propose that Lower Jurassic oil reservoirs are distributed in the higher units, su...
The Gulf of Mexico (GoM) is one of the most extensively studied offshore regions, but its Mesozoic evolution remains uncertain. The presence of a thick sedimentary cover and Jurassic salt poses challenges for geophysical imaging, hindering our understanding of the Mesozoic depositional history and crustal architecture evolution. Current tectonic mo...

In terms of its geological structure, Kahramanmaraş is a complex region where various tectonic units are observed simultaneously. Many thrust and fault zones identified with the closure of the southern branch of the Neotethys Ocean are observed in this region. There are units existing to the Amanos Group in the vicinity of Dadaglı (Kahramanmaraş)....
