Abstrakt: Diapiric structures (igneous intrusions, shale diaper, and salt diapir) are common geologic features formed when an intrusive body rises upward into the overlaying layers and generates an anticlinal rock shape. Igneous intrusions, shale diapirs, and salt diapirs display many similarities in seismic data, although they are different in scale and size. This work summarizes the differentiation of these diapiric features based on seismic data and outlines the probable optimistic and undesirable effects of each type of diapiric structure on the nearby petroleum systems.
