Characteristics, origin and controlling effects on hydrocarbon accumulation of overpressure in foreland thrust belt of southern margin of Junggar Basin, NW China by Xuesong LU, Mengjun ZHAO, Fengqi ZHANG, Lili GUI, Gang LIU, Qingong ZHUO, Zhuxin CHEN

“…The controlling effect of overpressure development and evolution on hydrocarbon accumulation and distribution shows in the following aspects: When the strong overpressure was formed before reservoir becoming tight overpressure maintains the physical properties of deep reservoirs to some extent, expanding the exploration depth of deep reservoirs; reservoirs below the overpressured mudstone cap rocks of the Paleogene Anjihaihe Formation and Lower Cretaceous Tugulu Group are main sites for oil and gas accumulation; under the background of overall overpressure, both overpressure strength too high or too low are not conducive to hydrocarbon enrichment and preservation, and the pressure coefficient between 1.6 and 2.1 is the best.…”

The Portofino Conglomerate (Eastern Liguria, Northern Italy): Provenance, Age and Geodynamic Implications by Federico Mantovani, Franco Marco Elter, Enrico Pandeli, Antonino Briguglio, Michele Piazza

“…We vertically distinguished three mostly ruditic litho/petrofacies: (i) Paraggi (fP) with carbonate clasts from an Helminthoid Flysch succession; (ii) Monte Pallone (fMP) with prevailing carbonate and meta-carbonate clasts and minor quartz-rich (meta)siliciclastic and high-pressure–low-pressure (HP-LP) metabasite clasts; and (iii) Monte Bocche (fMB) with dominant quartz-rich (meta)siliciclastic, meta-carbonate clasts, and minor granitoid elements and medium-temperature–high-temperature (MT-HT) regional metamorphic rocks. The middle-upper Eocen age of Paraggi litho/petrofacies is constrained by well-preserved microforaminifers (e.g., <i>Globigerinatheka</i>) recovered in the matrix. …”
