An Integrated Geophysical Approach to understanding the Structure and the Evolution of the Ouachita Orogenic Belt, Fort Worth Basin, Texas

Thus, an improved geological and geophysical understanding of the area is vital to both the oil and gas industry and for advancing our knowledge of the structure and the evolution of the OOB. We present an integrated analysis of the gravity anomalies, the structure of the basement and crustal rocks and how they are connected to the Paleozoic succession above. The constraints from drilling data require that the deep upper crustal structure vary considerably beneath the axis of the FWB.
