Summary With industry emphasis on developing 'unconventional' tight gas reservoirs and on enhancing recovery from existing fields, geologists are facing diverse challenges in the applications of structural geology. Identifying fracture characteristics within petroleum systems and understanding the timing of tectonics and the formation of structures is vital, as these strongly influence hydrocarbon generation, migration, entrapment, and preservation. The aim of this volume is to aid future workers in addressing complex interrelationships between structural geology and hydrocarbon exploration and development.
