  • Balanced cross section
  • Fractured reservoirs
  • Effects of faulting on reservoirs
  • Mapping faults and faulted surfaces
  • Structural style in different tectonic settings
  • Structures in compressional, extensional and strike-slip terranes
  • Gravity induced structures
  • Diapirism
  • Stratum contour and isopach maps for structural and stratigraphic interpretation of reservoir units
