Structural

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-004458

Relating to the deformation of the Earth's crust, including folding, faulting, and fracturing of rock layers. Structural geology studies these features to understand the subsurface architecture and its influence on hydrocarbon accumulation. Structural traps, such as anticlines and fault blocks, are common targets for oil and gas exploration.
