Exploration and development staff requiring an up-to-date understanding of practical structural geology.

Contents
Structural geometries from seismic data, interpretation of structures in extensional rifts, planar and listric faults, inverted extensional basins, fold and thrust belts, strike slip terranes, and areas of salt tectonics; deducing structural history in complex terranes; characteristic features contemporaneous faulting. Structural analysis of maps, assessing structure maps; fault displacement gradients, mapping fault terminations, intersection of faults, contour closure on faults, stratigraphic separation; fault population studies. Footwall uplift in extensional tectonics, impact on structural closure, new approaches to extensional basin models, preservation and erosion of reservoir, computer modeling of cross-sections. New techniques in fault seal analysis, risk of fault seal, migration and filling histories, fault compartments, hydrocarbon column height in undrilled compartments. Basin models for estimates of stretching and heat flow, paleobathymetry for sediment distribution models. Section restoration and balancing - concepts, tests for viability of interpreted cross-sections, constraints on geometry and history, example applications.
