In North Belgium, unusually thick Namurian strata are shown to be rrelate to the existence of deep basin. The presence of a listric growth fault is demonstrated in the Upper Carboniferous, somewhat limiting the Namurian Basin. The associated roll‐over structure may contain sandstones with sufficient porosity to become an attractive exploration target for gas.
