crest until the anticline is filled to the spill point (the highest point where hydrocarbons can escape the anticline). This type of trap is by far the...

an anticline is a type of fold that is an arch-like shape and has its oldest beds at its core, whereas a syncline is the inverse of an anticline. A typical...

formation of domes, anticlines, and folds. Examples of this kind of trap are an anticline trap, a fault trap, and a salt dome trap. They are more easily...

Anticlinal traps are formed by folding of rock. For example, if a porous sandstone unit covered with low permeability shale is folded into an anticline, it may...

Cretaceous deposits. The GGRB is host to many anticlines created during the Laramide Orogeny trapping many of its hydrocarbon resources. It is bounded...

Samaan (1971), Poui (1972) and Galeota. These fields are mainly faulted anticline traps producing from depths of 1.2 to 4.2 km (0.75 to 2.61 mi) subsea, with...

Rollover anticlines are anticlines related to extensional normal faults. They must be differentiated from fault-propagation folds, which are associated...

hundreds to thousands of feet. Anticlines and faulted anticlines are the structural features that are also responsible for trapping oil. The first reported oil-producing...

found in anticlinal traps. In fact, about 80 percent of petroleum found on Earth has been found in anticlinal traps. Anticlines are folds in stratigraphic...

structure is a "north-northwest to south-southeast trending doubly plunging Anticline with a faulted east limb", 65 km long and 23 km wide", and is the most...

billion ft3/day (35×105 m3). The Lacq Gas Field is a structural trap located in an anticline which formed in the southern part of Aquitaine Basin starting...

discovered in 1929. The oil is accumulated in Upper Miocene sandstone, trapped in Seria Anticline that straddles the present day coastline. This field has produced...

and low Anticline Ridge, which separates Pleasant Valley and Coalinga from Interstate 5 and the main part of the San Joaquin Valley. The anticline in Anticline...

the predominant trapping mechanism throughout the basin. The Halibut Field is located directly on an anticline, which serves as the trap. Migration of the...

(vaulted domed shaped horst) and Pirin mountain - a horst forming a massive anticline situated between the complex graben valleys of Struma and that of Mesta...

The field is on an anticline with 1,500 feet (460 m) of closure, which formed in the Late Cretaceous or Early Tertiary. The anticline has two distinct domes...

formation of the Hajar range, the anticline would typically be west verging. This indicates that the Jabal Hafit anticline formed due to a backthrust (antithetic...

thrusting. Within the Arkoma Basin, broad synclines separated by narrow anticlines dominate the basin at surface. Listric thrust faults are known to underlie...

in local gravity measurements. E.W. Hilgard published his theory of an anticline beneath Jackson in 1860 due to his observations of surface strata. The...

predominantly sandstone. As the salt body rose, the overburden formed an anticline (arching upward along its center line) which fractured and eroded to expose...
