Against a backdrop of continued success in deep water exploration, the relative complexity of thrust belt geology may account largely for the modest level of hydrocarbon exploration in fold-thrust belts worldwide. The attention of an opportunity-poor oil industry will predictably return to such areas of complex geology, where petroleum systems are poorly understood and large discoveries still possible.
This conference is intended to examine key themes and issues relating to fold-thrust belts worldwide, from outcrop studies through to hydrocarbon exploration and production. The conference will cover the different thrust systems, and focus on structural concepts, models and techniques, thermal regimes, petroleum systems, current methods of thrust belt interpretation and exploration, and specific oil & gas field case studies.
