Abstract
Summary
The deforming Messinian evaporite sequence is lithologically heterogeneous and structurally complex. Understanding the Messinian stratigraphy and its influence on the intrasalt strain distribution is essential for accurate velocity modelling and efficient drilling of petroleum prospects in the pre-salt domain. We use high quality 3D seismic reflection data from offshore Lebanon to show vertical and lateral variations in strain across the dataset.
