Abstract

First paragraph of abstract: Structures that outcrop at the surface in fold-thrust belts are frequently good analogues for hydrocarbon traps in compressional environments. Along-strike changes in structure and geometry have important implications for connectivity and fluid flow throughout the petroleum system, e.g. in the Zagros Simply Folded Belt, Iran, and in a surface reservoir analogue in the Sawtooth Range, Montana.
