Description
Key points covered:
- Fault and top seals (juxtaposition, SGR, mechanical and diagenetic seals).
- Fault zoning,
- Deformation mechanisms,
- Deformation bands in porous sandstones,
- Permeability of fault zones.
Objectives
The objective of this EU is to show that, based on knowledge of the structural and lithological characteristics of faults and geological conditions (lithology, porosity, stresses, diagenesis, fluid pressures), we have tools that enable us to predict fluid migration and trapping in the first 6 kilometers of the crust.
Mandatory prerequisites
Structural geology,
Sedimentary petrology.
