Growing Evidence of Active Deformation in the Malay Basin Region

Very young crustal movements in the Malay basin region point to the possibility of reactivation of regional faults in the basin that may compromise their sealing integrity. In addition, active or reactivated faults that are rooted in the pre-Tertiary basement and reach up close to the base of Quaternary seabed sediments of the basin pose obvious hazards to offshore installations.
