Andean Structural Styles: A Seismic Atlas is a comprehensive reference illustrating the variability in structural styles and hydrocarbon traps that exist in the Andean chain. The Andean chain, stretching over more than 5,000 km (3,000 mi) from Venezuela to Argentina, contains a large number of sedimentary basins which have developed in a wide range of tectonic settings. Some of these basins are highly mature, with hydrocarbon production from Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic sedimentary sequences, while others are still underexplored.

Andean Structural Styles: A Seismic Atlas covers topics including fold types, thrust faults, triangle zones, inversion structures, synorogenic deposits, and growth stratal geometries. These topics are illustrated by thirty-two seismic examples interpreted and uninterpreted, covering most of the Andean basins, and five chapters reviewing the structural styles of the Andes, the complexity of processing seismic in these settings, how analogue models help in the interpretation, and several outcrop analogues. This reference is invaluable to both hydrocarbon exploration of the Andes and researchers and students in the fields of exploration geology and structural geology. Also, those teaching structural geology and seismic interpretation will find a valuable resource with lots of uninterpreted seismic examples that can be used in their lectures.

Gonzalo Zamora is Structural Geology and Tectonics Manager at Repsol with over 18 years of experience in the oil industry. He holds a PhD in Structural Geology and MSc in Tectonics. He has 14 years of experience working in the Andes of Argentina, Bolivia, and Peru, and is familiar with the geology of Ecuador and Colombia. Dr. Zamora has published several papers in international journals and books, and is the editor of the AAPG Memoir 117 “Petroleum Basins and Hydrocarbon Potential of the Andes of Peru and Bolivia,” and the SP490 “Fold and Thrust Belts: Structural Style, Evolution, and Exploration” of the Geological Society of London. As part of the Structural Geology Specialist Group at Repsol, he also has experience in Spain, the Gulf of Mexico, Brazil, Morocco, The Urals (Russia), and Ireland. Andrés Mora is Regional Studies Leader at Ecopetrol Brazil. He holds a PhD in Geology and has over 20 years of experience in the oil industry, mostly as a structural and exploration geologist, focusing on areas including the Andes of Colombia, Ecuador, and Perú, and offshore Brazil. He has published several papers in international journals and books and has edited a number of special issues for the AAPG and books for the Geological Society of London.
