Turbidite-reservoir architecture in complex foredeep-margin and wedge-top depocenters, Tertiary Molasse foreland basin system, Austria

The Monagas Fold–Thrust belt of Eastern Venezuela. Part II: Structural and palaeo-geographic controls on the turbidite reservoir potential of the middle Miocene foreland sequence

“…7). A similar structural control was proposed by Stuart (2004) within the Pyrenees and Covault et al (2009) in a foreland basin in Austria and by Gawthorpe and Hurst (1993) in several extensional terrains.…”

Laterally varying structure and kinematics of the Molasse fold and thrust belt of the Central Eastern Alps: Implications for exploration

“…Syntectonic sedimentary processes and possible trap configurations in the wedge-top deposits are documented by Covault et al (2009). They adopted the Oligocene and Miocene wedge concept of Linzer and termed the two parts "frontal thrust system" and "overthrust system," putting emphasis on the kinematic position of the respective thrust sheets.…”

Stratigraphic evolution of a submarine channel–lobe complex system in a narrow fairway within the Magallanes foreland basin, Cerro Toro Formation, southern Chile

“…Outcrop examples include several Grès d'Annot mini-basins of the French Alpine foreland basin (Sinclair, 2000;McCaffrey and Kneller, 2001;Amy et al, 2007); the Taveyannaz sandstone in the "Inner" sub-basin of the North Alpine Foreland Basin, Eastern Switzerland (Sinclair, 1992); the intra-slope mini-basin in the Tres Pasos Formation in the Magallanes foreland Basin, southern Chile (Shultz and Hubbard, 2005); the Apennine satellite basins (Ricci Lucchi, 1986, 1990, such as the Deruta wedge top basin (Conti et al, 2008) in Northern Italy; and the sub-basins in the Southern Pyrenean foreland basin, Spain (Ardèvol et al, 2000). Subsurface examples include piggyback basins of the Upper Puchkirchen Formation in the Upper Austrian Molasse Basin (Covault et al, 2009). These mini-basins are often enclosed, generally crescent to elliptical shaped, and initially filled with relatively unconfined turbidite lobes developed on the basin floor.…”
