Fault Seal Analysis


A two to three-day theory-based course on methods and techniques for evaluating sealing faults. The emphasis is placed on the application of an objective methodology to the analysis of sub-surface data (seismic interpretation and wells). The course is suitable for geologists, geophysicists and reservoir engineers. All sessions comprise a mixture of lectures and practical sessions.

The course is designed to give geologists and reservoir engineers a thorough overview of new structural techniques for detailed analysis of fault seal.

Course contents:

Key Concepts

Causes and evaluation of subsurface pressures; seal classification - capillary seals and permeability.

Fault juxtaposition seal

Fault-displacement patterns, analysis of seismic interpretations and map data, triangle diagrams.

Fault-seal mechanisms

Clay smear, cataclastic features, cementation/diagenesis, prediction of fault-seal capacity (gouge ratio and smear factor)..

Faults, fluid flow and diagenesis

Fluid flow along faults, slip tendency.

Fault seals in production

Application to reservoir models, estimation of transmissibility multipliers.
