Abstract

Since the late Miocene, the Gulf of Corinth system is central Greece has extended approximately north-south within a back-arc environment. Major east-southeast-west-northwest-trending normal faults dissect prerift sequences, creating asymmetric grabens on kilometers to tens of kilometers scales. Episodic activity on discrete fault segments controls rates of footwall uplift and basinal subsidence. These together with regional uplift across north Peloponnesus generate a complex sedimentary response. Syn-rift sequences range from continental to deep marine facies. Facies architecture reflects competing lateral and axial supply contributions, each creating distinct reservoir geometry and stratigraphic trap styles.
