ABSTRACT
There is poor understanding of geometry and evolution of the accommodation zones
along the restraining and releasing bends in strike slip systems. This dissertation
focused on characterize the accommodation zones between restraining and releasing
bends, with special focus on the influences of syn-kinematic sedimentation and the
basement pre-existing structuration by simulating the Seagap fault , Off-shore
Tanzania.
A set of three scaled sand models were performed, using a asement o set
. m m an stepovers wit out wit syn-sedimentation
respectively. 7 cm of sinistral displacement was applied during all the models.
Vertical sections of the completed models cut for analysis of structures at depth.
The experimental results for both models were generating pop-up and pull-apart
structures and dip flipping of high angle faults. Study concluded that, firstly
comparisons between models and area of study fault orientation and distribution
were compatible with a sinistral strike-slip system. The internal structures developed
were influenced by syn-sedimentation and pre-existence basement. Even more,
oblique accommodation and dip-direction flipping of the main fault produced clear
inversion of the structures along the accommodation zones which can potentially
have a strong impact on the petroleum system. Future study required a test of
different scenarios such as use of ductile basement transition, constrains on fault
timing, uplift rate along time and comparison between sandbox analogue models and
seismic interpretation.
