An understanding of the spatial arrangement of geological structures is very important to understand their structural evolution and building of a consolidated model for a region. This research is an attempt to understand the structural events of the western Kohat Foreland Basin in 2D-3D work flow, evaluation of multiple decollements and the structural correlation between surface and sub-surface rocks. Two-dimensional available data was integrated into an internally consistent 3-D workflow in MOVE SUIT 2015.1, which was then easy to interpolate and extrapolate beyond known points to better cons...
An understanding of the spatial arrangement of geological structures is very important to understand their structural evolution and building of a consolidated model for a region. This research is an attempt to understand the structural events of the western Kohat Foreland Basin in 2D-3D work flow, evaluation of multiple decollements and the structural correlation between surface and sub-surface rocks. Two-dimensional available data was integrated into an internally consistent 3-D workflow in MOVE SUIT 2015.1, which was then easy to interpolate and extrapolate beyond known points to better constrain structural interpretation and validation. Stress analysis of a 3D surface of the Manzalai Ghar Anticline at the level of Lockhart Limestone (-1500 m) is done using Mohr Stress diagram in MOVE 2015.1 software. The results illustrate positive normal stress values, which suggests the north-south compression related shearing and fracturing in the study area.
