Orogenic

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-002645

Relating to or resulting from orogeny, the process of mountain building, which involves intense deformation of the Earth's crust. Orogenic events create complex geological structures such as folds, faults, and thrust belts that can form hydrocarbon traps. These processes are typically associated with convergent plate boundaries.
