Fold Thrust Research Group

From an initial Pathfinder project and field workshop (in the French Subalpine chains) we have designed a new JIP with the aim to reduce structural risks when exploring and developing hydrocarbon resources in fold-thrust belts. We bring together a leading group of structural geologists and allied earth scientists based in the University of Aberdeen with partners in the oil and gas industry to address these deficiencies.
