| 英文摘要: | Atlantic opening was accompanied by widespread deposition of evaporites, which are now associated with major petroleum reserves. The dynamic processes occurring then has been poorly resolved because of the deposits' depth beneath margin sediments and salt mobilisation by overburden stress. The Red Sea is a potentially useful analogue. New geophysical data reveal glacier-like bodies of evaporites flowing into one of the central deeps. We will now explore whether similar flowage can be deduced from the new high-quality 3D seismic data being collected off Brazil and examine deformation rates generally. This will provide datasets for a PhD study and help understand the hydrocarbon potential of the pre-salt stratigraphy. |
