Autorenporträt

Michal Nem¿ok is a research professor at the Energy and Geoscience Institute at the University of Utah and a visiting professor at the Energy and Geoscience Institute Laboratory at the Geological Institute SAV, Bratislava, Slovak Republic. He has performed structural and hydrocarbon evaluations in numerous rift settings, such as the Pannonian Basin system of the Czech Republic and Slovakia; the Basin and Range of the western United States; the Bristol Channel Basin; the Central Basin, Democratic Republic of Congo; and the Salton Sea region in California. He has also worked in many passive margin settings, such as West India, East India, the eastern United States and Canada, the African margins of the Central Atlantic, the equatorial Atlantic, the Gulf of Mexico, the Guyana-Suriname Basin, Gabon and Cameroon, the Black Sea region and southeastern Brazil. The results of most of these studies have been presented in thirty-two articles published in refereed scientific journals and in two edited books. He is the co-author of Thrustbelts: Structural Architecture, Thermal Regimes and Petroleum Systems (Cambridge, 2005).

Inhaltsangabe

1. Basic description of structural styles in rift and passive margin
settings, including extension directions and key structural elements; 2.
Mechanics of rifting and transition to drift phases; 3. Determination of
unstretched continental, thinned continental, proto-oceanic and oceanic
crustal boundaries; 4. Determination of timing of rift and continental
break-up events; 5. The role of lithospheric composition and compositional
variations on evolving rift margin architectural development and on breakup
locations; 6. The role of pre-existing anisotropy on structural styles of
rifts and passive margins; 7. The role of syn-extensional deposition and
erosion on evolving structural styles of rifts and passive margins and the
effects of tectonics on deposition and erosional patterns; 8. Fluid flow
systems associated with oceanic hot spots, oceanic transforms, continental
transforms and rifts; 9. The role of pre-rift heat flow on thermal regimes
of rifts and passive margins; 10. The role of structural and stratigraphic
architecture on thermal regimes of rifts and passive margins; 11. The role
of syn-rift deposition and erosion on thermal regimes of rifts and passive
margins; 12. The role of deformation on thermal regimes of rifts and
passive margins; 13. The role of fluid flow on thermal regimes of rifts and
passive margins; 14. Introduction to hydrocarbons in rift and passive
margin settings; 15. Models of source rock distribution, maturation and
expulsion in rift and passive margin settings; 16. Models of reservoir
quality distribution; 17. Sealing characteristics; 18. Models of
hydrocarbon migration; 19. Trapping styles; 20. Hydrocarbon preservation;
