Research is being conducted on the impact of pre-salt rift topography on salt tectonics, with various studies exploring its effects on different regions, including the Santos Basin in Brazil and the Essaouira Basin in Morocco. The studies utilize discrete-element modeling and geodynamic modeling approaches to gain insights into the evolution of rifted margins and the influence of basement structures on salt tectonics. The findings may have implications for understanding hydrocarbon potential and petroleum systems in these regions.
