Salt and Sediment Dynamics presents a thorough treatment of salt
and sediment interactions and the implications of such interactions
for sub-salt exploration. The book emphasizes and utilizes recent
discoveries on many aspects of salt and sediment interactions,
provides the theoretical framework for interpreting the increasing
amount of available data on salt and sediments, and develops a
self-consistent dynamical evolution model of salt structures and
their interaction with surrounding sediments.
The model developed in the text consists of an evolving salt
structure that influences sediment motion with self-consistent
evolution of sediments and salt shape. The resulting stress and
strain in the sediments and the thermal focusing effects of the
salt are evaluated. The salt and sediments in the model are
consistent with observed geometries, a result of having freely
adjustable, observation-controlled model parameters.
In addition, the book describes case histories in a variety of
geological settings, thus explaining aspects of the genesis and
development of salt structures, of their impact on sedimentary
structural evolution, and of the impact of sediments on salt
masses.
The techniques developed by the authors expand the current state of
knowledge regarding the evolution and dynamics of salt structures
and increase the potential for effective sub-salt hydrocarbon
exploration.
