This study focuses on determining the orientation and constraining magnitude of present-day stresses in Dezful Embayment Iran’s Zagros Fold Thrust Belt. Two datasets are used: first includes petrophysical data from 25 wells (3 to 4 km deep), second contains 108 earthquake focal mechanisms, mostly occurring blind active basement faults (5 20 deep). Formal stress inversion analysis mechanisms dem...
