First a little correction.

A pull apart zone would actually form a basin, in fact they are typically referred to as pull apart basins. And this follows the rift model for this portion of the island. A good example of such features would be Death Valley and the rest of the Basin and Range Province in the Western US.

And as this is a structural feature they should all line up as I proposed in an earlier post.

In the oil industry a basin as a slightly different meaning. In this case a quiet ocean environment that accumulates critters that will eventually turn into hydrocarbons. They are not looking for "basin mineralization" in the oil industry.
