2D Modelling of a fold and thrust belt in the French Prealps

During this thesis, 2D modelling using the MOVE software suite is performed on a fold and thrust belt in the French Prealps. The area of interest is called the Couspeau area and is 72 km2. In this area, Vocontian basin sediments deposited during the Jurassic and Cretaceous can be found. The area contains well exposed fold and thrust structures....

Correlation and modelling of a fluvial depositional system: Outcrop analogue study of thin-bedded fluvial reservoir sandstone

The Huesca fluvial fan contains a low gradient fluvial system with well-exposed, 3D outcrops. An outcrop study of low-sinuous deposits aims to provide a deterministic reservoir model that predicts correlation lengths, nesting and reservoir potential of thin-bedded fluvial reservoir sandstone in an overall low net-to-gross setting. To correlate...

Step-by-Step Three-Dimensional Modeling and Visualization of an area in the southwestern part of France (in the French Subalpine Basin).

Detailed mapping and 3D structural modeling of the area around St. Nazaire le Desert, in the French Subalpine Basin, which structures had not been modeled previously, was performed in order to understand its structural evolution. The completed 1:25,000 scale mapping of the 52km2 area, reveals various structural domains based on regional...

3D Modeling of a foreland fold and thrust basin in the French sub-Alpine chains

In this report, one can find a summary of the results and the methods used in a BSc-thesis, with as aim to unravel the structural geological situation of a 54 km2 area in the southern French sub-Alps around the village of Plaisians. This was done by using the Move© software-package, provided by Midland Valley. The work was performed in several...
