The occurrence of oil‐and gasfields in overthrust belts follows the same principles that operate in normal basins. There is no essential difference, and, in order to avoid any personal bias or dogma, examples of productive areas in overthrust belts should speak for themselves. The examples below are selected only on the basis of available data. More examples would improve understanding but would not change the basic principles described. Unfortunately, the most convincing examples are locked away in company files.
