Two types of fault seal

Juxtaposition seal

Fault rock seal

Juxtaposition seal

reservoir against low-permeability unit

fault rock seal

also called

membrane seal

controlled by fault rock properties

what decides if a fault seal leaks

bouyancy forces vs. capillary threshold pressure

fault seal workflow

4 points

structural mapping

assessment of fault rock properties

fluid properties

seal prediction

what part of fault seal workflow can be looked up?

fault rock properties in lit.

fault rock peroperty defining sealing ability

clay content

two measures of fault rock clay content

VSH volume of shale

VCL volume of clay

VSH

volume of shale

VCL

volume of clay

how to calculate clay content of fault rocks

geophysical borehole methods

SGR

meaning and calculation

shale gouge ratio

average clay moved past point on fault

SSF

meaning and calculation

shale smear factor

fault throw/bed thickness

SSF <4 means

continuous smears

SSF 4-10 means

60% continuous smearing

SSF >10 means

70% discontinuous smearing

complications of smearing

variations in breaks of fault

max clay content of marine shale

66%

most models assume a clay content of

100%

different types of breaches of fault seals (4)

.

8 controls on fracture intensity

petrophysical/mechanical

composition

porosity

grain size

fabric

gometric/strain

bed thickness

structural position

3 fracture morphology types

varying cementation

uncemented, part cemented and cemented fractures

how to measure length of fractures

outcrop analogues, well performance

how to measure orientation of fractures

core, image logs

how to measure spacing of fractures

core, image logs, outcrop analogues

data sources for fracture parameters (4)

core, image logs, outcrop analogues, well performance

how to measure fracture aperture size

core, well performance

vug

vuggy fractures

small to medium cavities in a rock

eroded from inside, eg. karst

two names for groups of fractures, usually cross cutting strata

fracture swarms

fracture coridoors

stylolite

serrated surface at which material has been removed by pressure solution

how can fractures interact with strata (two types)

strata bound

non strata bound

what is the reaction of the pressure in a fractured reservoir (from multiple wells)

heterogenous

how many types of fractured reservoir

4, decreasing fracture influence

4 types of fractured reservoir (supply and storage)

I:essential storage and permeability

II:no storage, essential permeability

III:no storage, assist in permeability

IV:only anisotropy

percolation threshold

when fractures are such that their interconnectivity means that transmissability jumps.

curvature of stratigraphy is a good indicator of

fracture density

testing fractures with fluid?

slug like tests with mud pit

two types of borehole image log

acoustic or resistivity

3 pros of borehole image log

orientation

identify open fractures in the subsurface

easy to obtain

3 cons of borehole image logs

resolution

degraded by artefacts and poor hole conditions

expensive
