Raffa next week will attend the AAPG ACE conference in Calgary. He will give a talk on “Cross-strike structures and hydrocarbon migration and accumulation: examples on the relationship between strike-slip faults and lateral ramps in three Alpine Thrust Belts”.
An overview of main cross-strike structures and transverse zones (lateral/oblique thrust ramps, oblique faults, strike-slip or transfer faults) in three case studies related to three different carbonate-dominated Alpine-type fold-and-thrust belts and their impact on controlling different modes of fluid pathways.
