Abstract

Summary

Our understanding of sedimentary basins and thrust belts has greatly benefited from recent improvement of imagery techniques, accounting for a renewed interest for hydrocarbon exploration in fold-and-thrust belts.

This paper describes, using various case studies worldwide, the integrated workflow developed at IFP-EN to reconstruct the kinematic and thermal evolution of fold-and-thrust belts (foothills) and adjacent forelands, and the way numerical modelling and analytical work can improve our predictions in terms of energy resources, hydrocarbon potential and reservoir risk assessment.
