Mud volcanoes guided by thrusting in compressional settings

Juan I. Soto et al.

Summary: Mud volcanoes are formed by fluid movement along thrust faults, contrary to the popular belief that they are extruded through normal faults and fractures. A study in the Gulf of Mexico demonstrated the occurrence of buried mud volcanoes that were fed by fluids moving up the thrust faults themselves. The position of mud volcanoes is determined by the path of least resistance to the surface.

Cenozoic structural deformation between the southern Lamprea fold-belt and Salina del Bravo salt province by interacting salt and shale detachments, western Gulf of Mexico

Jack J. Kenning et al.

Summary: The Lamprea fold-belt is a deep-water, passive margin fold-belt located southeast of the Salina del Bravo salt province, beginning detachment along Eocene shale layers to form a compressional toe. Miocene-age deformation coincides with salt canopy emplacement, primarily controlled by the advancing salt canopy, and plays a significant role in hydrocarbon migration.

Principles of shortening in salt basins containing isolated minibasins

Oliver B. Duffy et al.

Summary: This study utilizes physical models to investigate thin-skinned regional shortening in salt-influenced basins with isolated minibasins, finding that the volume and distribution of salt prior to shortening are key controls, salt flow leads to tilting and rotation of minibasins, and different processes contribute to the deformation of minibasins during regional shortening. Our findings provide insights into the geometry and kinematics of shortened salt basins and the tectono-stratigraphic evolution of minibasins.

Piercement mechanisms for mobile shales

Michael R. Hudec et al.

Summary: The study identifies seven mechanisms by which mobile shales can pierce their roofs, with the dominant mechanism being injection up fractures and faults. Different mechanisms are at play depending on shale viscosity, depth, and proximity to the surface. Although there are common piercement mechanisms between shale tectonics and salt tectonics, resulting structures are often different due to differences in viscosity. The rapid extrusion of mobile shales reaching the surface can lead to caldera collapse of underlying shale chambers, indicating long-term stable growth of passive shale diapirs is unlikely.
