Randomized trial examines hydrocarbon migration in a geological setting, indicating implications for exploration.

To characterize the geometry, kinematics, and evolution of strike-slip faults in the Central Sichuan Basin.
Integrated high-resolution 3D seismic data with drilling data from 28 drillings in the Basin.
Utilized coherence–attribute imaging for detailed fault interpretation.
Identified three dominant fault systems and analyzed multiple activity episodes.
Identified E–W and N–E trending fault systems dominate regional frameworks.
Established five principal activity episodes highlighting fault dynamics and evolution.
Proposed that early formation of paleo-uplift influenced the development of strike-slip faulting.

Ni et al. (2026) studied this question.
