Hydrocarbon Traps<br />
Structural traps <strong>in</strong> the <strong>Jeanne</strong> d’Arc d<br />
Bas<strong>in</strong> are associated with<br />
rift<strong>in</strong>g of the Newfoundland Marg<strong>in</strong>, subsidence and <strong>for</strong>mation<br />
of the deep extensional bas<strong>in</strong> and movement of the Argo salt<br />
•The ma<strong>in</strong> structural traps are extensional anticl<strong>in</strong>es, roll-overs, overs, faulted<br />
anticl<strong>in</strong>es, faulted and tilted blocks and elongated horsts<br />
• Numerous salt <strong>in</strong>duced structures such as pillows, domes, diapirs,<br />
ridges, allochthonous teardrops and turtle anticl<strong>in</strong>es are common<br />
•The great majority of faults are listric normal faults, but some transfer<br />
faults, accommodation zones and local <strong>in</strong>versions due to transtension<br />
sion<br />
and halok<strong>in</strong>esis are also <strong>for</strong>m<strong>in</strong>g traps<br />
•Most of the discovered fields have a stratigraphic trapp<strong>in</strong>g component<br />
onent<br />
• Stratigraphic traps are widespread. Paleo-valleys, bas<strong>in</strong> marg<strong>in</strong> and<br />
bas<strong>in</strong> floor fans are abundant <strong>in</strong> the bas<strong>in</strong> and conta<strong>in</strong> some discovered<br />
resources<br />
