Abstract The main goal of this paper is contributing to the understanding to the structural geology, development, and evolution of traps associated with strike-slip restraining bend and restraining step-over structures as a key petroleum system element in southeastern Abu Dhabi. We introduce a preliminary classification scheme for these relatively small, low-relief features defined here as pop-up structures. These structures represent different evolutionary stages of strike-slip restraining bends formed along prominent WNW-trending strike-slip fault systems in southeastern Abu Dhabi. The proposed classification scheme was summarized as a chart to illustrate the correlation between the degree of structural deformation and seal integrity, and estimates the likelihood of finding multiple, vertically stacked, productive reservoirs. It also leads to a more detailed discussion on others important characteristics of pop-up structures and provides a better understanding of sealing mechanisms such as fault juxtaposition, fault throw analysis, fault slip tendency, fault rock processes, and the role of the development of hybrid flower structures in the area. We will also show a simple case study based on two exploratory wells that targeted two pop-up structures with different degrees of deformation in southeast Abu Dhabi. This case study illustrates the complex relationship between pop-up evolution, timing of trap formation, seal integrity, trap preservation, and multiple petroleum generation and migration events. Pop-up structures are linked to multiple episodes of trap and seal evolution, where several episodes of hydrocarbon migration, charge, and leaking of hydrocarbons may occur.
