What is Gulf Coast Strike-Slip Fault Mapping about?
The document summarizes mapping of strike-slip faults along the Louisiana coast using seismic data. It describes clear fault patterns seen in the data with substantial stratigraphic changes between fault blocks. The author notes evidence of horizontal movement along curved faults from drag effects that disagree with fault dips. The complex faulting was likely influenced by salt intrusions. The goal is to understand the faulted stratigraphy and potentially find missed hydrocarbon reservoirs within the faults
