This course will cover the basic nomenclature and concepts of structural geology in shortened and extended terrenes, with an emphasis on ideas needed for hydrocarbon exploration and production. The material will include structural geometry and kinematics, subsurface dip analysis (SCAT), fault seals, fractured reservoirs, and relationship between structures and stratigraphic architecture. Exercises will be included to illustrate and reinforce the ideas. Day 1: Nomenclature and Concepts of Shortened Terrains Reverse and thrust faults and fault growth Dipmeter analysis (SCAT) Regional Tectonics of West Texas Day 2: Nomenclature and Concepts of Extended Terrains Extensional faults and fault growth Extensional folds and fold growth Fractured Reservoirs Fault Seals Summary and Wrap Up
