Salt tectonics is the study of how and why salt structures evolve and the three-dimensional
forms that result. A fascinating branch of geology in itself, salt tectonics is also vitally …

The southern Brazilian salt basin, comprising the three sub-basins Santos, Campos and
Espirito Santo, was deposited over a pre-existing rifted basin with c. 1–2 km of relief …

Salt flows downslope, irrespective of overburden. In salt basins on passive margins, the salt
will tilt and flow towards the ocean immediately after continental rifting has ended due to …

Cretaceous aged salt and salt-free basins along the continental margins of Brazil and
Angola/Namibia exhibit a rather heterogeneous geometry and basin fill which implies a …

Halokinetic deformations synchronous with salt deposition are processes already suggested
in several salt giants including the Lower Cretaceous salt deposits of the Santos Basin in …

This article presents a Technology Readiness Assessment (TRA) of a new concept called
the Salt Cavern Hybrid Subsea Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) System, which performs …

Abstract The Sugar Loaf High is an extensive basement structure within the Santos Basin,
offshore Brazil, in which all of the elements of the pre-salt hydrocarbon play are present …

The stratigraphic evolution of ancient salt giants is controversial, mainly due to the absence
of modern analogues that are of comparable scale and thickness and that occur in similar …

Seismic velocity models have significant importance in subsurface studies, notably when
applied in structurally challenging areas. In some parts of the Campos Basin, offshore Brazil …

Salt tectonics at salt-bearing margins is often interpreted as the combination of gravity
spreading and gravity gliding, mainly driven by differential sedimentary loading and margin …
