Seismic analysis of the Niger Delta gravitational detachment system

Ductile deformation of overpressured, fine-grained, argillaceous sediments (“mobile shale”) is commonly invoked to explain the deformation style at the base of thin-skinned, gravitational detachment systems. The usage of “mobile shale” arose as a consequence of poor imaging on seismic reflection dat...
