Abstarct: Zagros fold-thrust belt as one of the youngest fold belts accommodates almost 8.6% Oil and 15% Gas of the world reservoirs. Detailed analysis of these folds and their deformation mechanism is a key issue for hydrocarbon exploration in the Zagros belt. Geometry and kinematics of the Burkh anticline in the N-NE of Bastak-Fars province - in the Zagros fold-thrust belt was carried out in this study. This was performed in case of Master of Science dessertation in Tectonics. For this purpose seven structural traverses perpendicular to the fold axis was carried out for measurment and collection of structural data. baxsed on these data, seven structural cross sections across the anticline was constructed. The subsurface structural data used to construct underground contour map of the Dehram group. This map was drawn to evaluate the horizontal and vertical closure of the anticline and to suggest the best structural position for future exploration drilling. Structural analysis of the Burkh anticline indicate that the fold geometry is rather similar to that of the detachment folds.The geometric analysis of the anticline, itsstructural relationship with the domesstudied surroundingsal.The results of this analysis is expressed Thepresence of salt domesonthe northernedge,Western nose and possibly in the eastern nose of Burkh anticline axial effect of the anticline has been controlled. Also theresultsofassessment joints shown change axial effect anticline. This change du to of Hendurabi lineament.
