Figure 4. Paleostress analysis of faults measured in core and the image log show vertical shortening and horizontal extension of the caprock, indicating that the caprock was stretched by dome growth. The intermediate axis is roughly parallel to the regional maximum compressive stress orientation suggesting that the regional stress state overprints the local stresses caused by dome emplacement. This stretching also produces extensional fractures (not shown).
